I'm posting this in hope that some will actually watch it in its entirety, and then those who do might allow it to spark an "intelligent" discussion. For me this was little more than a review and summary of years of study; but, to some it may open a window on what was, and is, behind societal shifts that have occurred over the past several decades. Why is education failing? It's by design, since for centuries the wealthy, ruling class has understood that minimizing education of the general populace makes them for compliant. Why have we become a "consumer society"? Because as long as the general population is fixated on trinkets they will be distracted from more important issues. Why has wealth migrated to the upper 0.1%? Because wealth buys politicians who write tax and fiscal policy; and as policy shifts tax burden to the lower and middle classes from the wealthy, it give the wealthy even greater influence over the policy-makers, creating a vicious cycle creating wealth redistribution from the poorer to the rich.
This video is also available on Netflix if that would allow for more comfortable viewing.
This video barely scratches the surface, but maybe the ensuing discussion might lead to a broader understanding of how business and government have joined together to minimize democracy for their own gain.
