the strict bottom line is that the type of currency we use doesnt really matter in the end.... without empathy we are DOOMED.

Thanks... in the video, the author points to misguided examples and even fallacies (only had listened to the first 7 minutes when I posted, later once at home, I listened further and he was putting emphasis as how global warning got people together, I sure was highly disappointed) but we have to look beyond that, it is true that the human nature is emphatically wired...

that is why fiat humanitarian aid economics, collectivism, nationally, racism, culturalism, etc work soooo well. THEY are using OUR inherent character trait AGAINST us...

only empathy can address and correct our mess and the use of money in a balanced fashion :)

Read his bio, he is another trend-follower making big bucks on books and consulting.

Let him run his own f***ing business for a while, THEN consult.

He is a guy that NEVER ran his own business... another parasite like Joe Lieberman, who passes laws while never doing an honest day's labor in his life.

yes he is not a good example... but again, look beyond what he says.
