Bottom line is things change.

I wouldn't want anyone to be gullible. The video is only a point in the discussion, not meant by me to be the end of any debate. On it's face it can be taken in just about any political direction.

Your point about change is on target. The question is whether the inertia that apparently resists the inevitable change gives us time to learn or whether the chaos that results from eliminating the tempering inertia is better. There are groups who thrive at either extreme.

I think philosophers have questioned how many times around the cycle of destruction and rebuilding we have to go before we realize the futility and develop a more stable social environment that is less polarizing and more tolerant.
