Interesting presentation. Very insightful. Gentle sense of humor. Good man.

16 minutes of laughter, insight, and provocation. Twenty-first century literacies are enormously important to the sense of collective empowerment for which you advocate. Of all the challenges facing our inner-cities, igniting a sense of wonderment, discovery, and purpose are on a precipitous decline. No small challenge in the middle of a great economic implosion and a quarter of a century of growing sense of collective powerlessness that gets passed on from generation to generation.

I literally searched social lies and this video popped up - I did it because everything around me just feels fake, materialized - The way people act makes no sense anymore. I'm just afraid of me becoming like them. Sometimes I just lose control over my mind like I'm not aware of anything that I would be doing in that time

I agree with most of what was said in this presentation, but it can also happen that when only one element (e.g., one individual) in a system (family, institution, corporation, etc.) changes, the whole system can change as well--hopefully, in a good way. Never underestimate the power of one individual, who will inevitably be immersed in several systems. I also agree that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; on the other hand, there are individuals who slip through the cracks in prevention programs and need treatment. Prevention and treatment complement each other and should enhance each other, not oppose each other.

Great job, Isaac! All familiar to me of course, but very well, succinctly, & humorously delivered! And ideas that everyone should learn and apply-- I hope this video helps in that cause! Your friend & former colleague, Doug PS: Nashville IS a place where you feel more welcomed than you really are! ;>)

He is so cute. He always gives the same explanation about his accent. Lol
