EVERYONE should listen to what this man has to say (and listen to him saying it), including:

• The American government, which has a habit of placating the worst elements of that society, rather than supporting individuals/reformers like the one shown and heard here (see below).

• So-called human rights activists/liberals, who have a habit of embracing “causes” out of ignorance and misinformation.

• Academia, where people (may) acquire knowledge, but not wisdom. As a wise proverb says: “Some of the greatest fools ever known were learned men.”

• Young folk, who adopt mantras and opinions if for no other reason than they are the fashion. There’s a wise proverb for this one too, i.e., “A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion.”

• People who are too busy living their lives to learn or think about anything bigger.

• Those who stand for nothing and, in Alexander Hamilton’s words, “fall for anything.”

• Political partisans, who blindly follow political parties/candidates. Ralph Waldo Emerson once described a party as “an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.” He was right.

So please take the time to read/listen and think, and remember Thomas Edison’s famous words:

“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”
