This may seem off topic, but in a tangential kind of way, I think this video (which was a response from another great video) has a lot to do with some topics I bring up quite often. I speak about the internet and its open, meritocratic system as having the potential for great societal impact on the current young generations. On the fringes, you are starting to see an extremely informed, energetic and hyper-participatory group of young adults starting to show their faces. My personal opinion is that the internet has had a very large influence on this mindset and their ability to grow. The individual in this video glances over this subject is a cursory manner, but I found that portion of his talk extremely telling of the potential for positive change in the near future.
While I find Barack Obama’s speeches intelligent and (dare I say) hopeful, this individual’s video gives me far more hope. This person shows the potential and the will of young generations to bring about mind-boggling changes to this planet.
