The problem is bigger than our solutions.

Russell Band says there is no faith, or belief, anymore.

Innovation [is greater than] impoverishment. There's your incorporation, right there.
I haven't listened to Brand in about 5 years. He plays the role of uninformed inquisitor nicely. Scott mentioned his personality is too all consuming, and I see it here. What's with the vagrant look also? Looking like you can't afford a haircut doesn't excuse being a millionaire whilst decrying the millionaires.

Of course, I have to agree with his sentiment that lack of faith and belief is the root of many problems. That's what folks who lack technical understanding often have a heightened awareness of.

Don't know how this is a 15 minute video. Brand used to have like 90 minute videos. Short clips are for small thinkers.
