Couldn't agree more with this fellow, and I bet he'd be very interesting, and informative in a longer presentation too. There are many things that need to be changed with what we've come to accept as 'education'. The future of this planet and all its inhabitants will be impacted very soon by the choices we make, or delay, or decide against now. Apathy, ignorance and fear of change are our greatest obstacles at present. (oh, and greed too!)
