I don't like this video. It almost was something insightful and great, but it got too many things wrong. A lot of it was "off" -- I felt like there was a hidden agenda, something seriously wrong behind it.

But anyway, there were a lot of great comments on the video. Some hightlights:

George Orwell said "Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual would believe them."

@PedroIgori
We need to stop conflating educated with smart


@t.j.5574
We live in a world that is drowning in information, but starving for wisdom.

Just because someone is smart, it doesn't mean they are wise.

I had a client who was born in the late 1920's and grew up in depression and ww2 as a child. She grew up in hardship and after the war she went into nursing.
When I asked her why, she replied ; during the war we saw pow's marched through the town. They built roads and bridges and were welcoming to chat with residents. They talked about family back home and how they were only doing what they were told.
She could see ( she left school with no qualifications) that nursing was a benefit to humanity and such we are no different.
She became the first woman in the SW of England to be promoted to a managerial career in the nhs as top dog of nursing .
She was wise, level headed and sharp as a tack even when she died a few years ago. 
She put it down to the fact that as a child she was hungry all the time. Christmas was just another day. And once you realise that only you can change the situation you are in, you only have yourself to blame if you stay that way.
She landed up marrying a German pow.
It's strange, she had seen life not from tv but lived it, her stories were like straight to the point, no BS and not filtered. She was brought up to hate Germans, but married one and she was the first person to tell me the propaganda was despicable during WW2 that she could see through it. 
For the record, her garden was exceptional and she knew the common and botanical names of every plant in her garden. She died in 2022 and her memory lives on by me talking about her. 
My point is, she was wise, called a spade a spade and had critical thinking. 
She had no " qualifications " but saw the world differently.
