I should like to say a few things about this presentation, but only after I’ve absorbed more of the content a second time.
What I will say here though, is that I strongly recommend the other online stage event with Joe Sacco at the same venue.
It is by far the best narrative conversation I’ve ever heard anywhere at any time about the state of the United States ~ it is an astonishingly brilliant, completely unrehearsed and spontaneous tour de force. Really powerful and deeply enlightening ~ essential listening that should be widely shared and thoroughly heeded.

Thanks for the suggestion, David. I made a new post with the video and added the link to your comment.
I so agree, this talk is much better.
