8. wow, he is great,. very passionate, and correct.

Small simple tweaks and fixes are not going to suffice. a major reworking or our political and financial systems is needed now. the old money system has one function that id does without fail,. it concentrates wealth by stripping it from the land and the sea,. and the people. This function is not needed,. we need to involve everyone in the collective decisions and create living systems that will regenerate this planet.

9. "Taking back our humanity!"

Now that's what I'm talking about! I'm glad someone finally said it. This is the message that needs to be spread. It needs to go beyond the narrow-focused, nationalism-minded "taking our country back," to the broader issue at large. By dividing and separating us according to a nationalistic identity, we fail to see that we are all truly connected - and those in power profit wildly from this psychological confusion. This is at the heart of what needs to change. While we may be limited to acting locally, we need to think globally - which means far beyond arbitrary, imaginary sociopolitical boundaries on a map:

"Nationalism leads to moral ruin. because it denies universality, denies the value of the human being as a human being: and because at the same time It affirms exclusiveness, encourages variety, pride and self satisfaction, stimulates hatred and proclaims the necessity and rightness of war." - Aldous Huxley

As Danny said so well, what we need is:

"Revolution, Evolution and Transformation!"
