I stuck my earphones on after I saw it was gonna be a long vid and then just went back to work, listening to the man.

I'll confess that 12 hours later, I'm re-organizing my desk and my computer.

His 4-blocks of the next society were more interesting to me than the stuff-management stuff... but I also basically was on board... basically. I still accumulate a lot of garbage, but that's inevitable... isn't it?

But really, his picture of Obama & Sarkozy had a lot of teeth for me. Though, for what it's worth, I still feel valid with my comfort with Obama, because he's not afraid of being smart, and he's willing to argue with people. So, I'd agree it's not leadership but today, I'm willing to settle for management.

That was depressing. You will probably argue it was realistic. That was like listening to Marvin the paranoid android for 12 minutes, at which point I'd had quite enough.
