Anand, what you are seeing is the unconscious patterns… How wonderful that you are able to actually see and identify them so clearly……….
Love this conversation, thank you❣
Fascinating story
Was interested in listening to this. Around minute 25 to 31, about his family. Whoa. Borrrring. Hope it gets better, but I'm struggling to stay awake
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve. Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862
Allan Watt ,cutting through the matrix, explained the rest.
I dont hear it that way at all. He's talking about billionaires using "philanthropy" to influence our day to day quality of life on a grande scale. Billionaires believe they are entitled to disproportionately accumulate wealth that actually they couldn't accumulate if not for all of the people who work their asses off for them and because they gain access to power that allows them to perpetuate their own power. Good for them that they had a really good idea that made them some decent money but the level of accumulation of wealth is insane.
❤ from an hour south of Shaker Heights, Ohio (I-77 !) Your work, your Voice is important to the "gutted" Midwest. Come study "Amish Country", the Tourism wealth of Holmes County. Next door is Tuscarawas County; its wealth engine collapsed during "de-industrialization" ( hence Trump country). The wealth growth of Holmes Co vs the wealth collapse of Tusc Co well-serves as grist for your mill. There is a worthy & important Story of Capital (ebbs, flows; flurries & flutters) waiting for you, here: really needs to be told-Tolled🛎 And you are The (hu)Man best suited🧠👁 to Tell It. Promise you, the book would become a best-seller🎉

Nobody is worth more than a few million a year.
So his parents move all the way from India and give him an amazing childhood. Now he endlessly whines how bad America is. Newsflash! The “American Dream” is alive and kicking among individuals from India and individuals from Iran!

46 minutes in. I need to abandon ship or start skipping ahead chunks at a time. Nothing of value here. Maybe I'm not a fan of this guy? I know I've watched bits and pieces of him. Maybe he's fine in bite size morsels. I haven't thrown in the towel completely on him...but this setting etc. Es no bueno....zzzzzzzz
