Crisis interview: Beyond The Pandemic - one of the best discussion you’ll ever hear

This is very, very, very well worth watching as being one of the very best thinking from some super world thinkers, from the author of the super book Sapiens to a world strategic thinker to an economist with a huge, practical heart and a good message for mankind.

Some notes:

This will be a recession, and possible worldwide depression, far greater than 2008.
We need to stop the tribalism of nation’s and “advocates” of their own narrow viewpoints.

There will be a lot more inequality (due to economics, not prejudice)

We must stop the spread of “ridiculous ideas like those about vaccinations.”
We need to be very careful about the information we hold as true.
We need to educate ourselves in what to believe and not fall victim to conspiracy theories.
We need to overcome delusion and confusion.

In 2009, this economist wrote of pandemics.  He talks of waking up to hygiene and... .
This will be the worst crisis since 1929, more serious than 2008, with a -20% global economy.
We need to brace ourselves for a huge 2nd wave of the virus.

Now is the time when we need altruism and global solidarity (one of the other thinkers notes that we have no global leadership right now, though China is trying to work its way into being the global leader)

“Altruism is the only way that we will survive and get through this crisis.”  (And a few other terrific quotes.)

Altruism is “rational selfishness”, when it is in our interest to have interest in other people doing well.

We have to rethink the way we live.

We need to move to be being an altruistic, empathetic society.

“The choices we make today will determing what kind of tomorrow awaits us all.”  [!!!!!!!!]

=-)

And, clearly, we are, and must be, in this together...

Listen to this hour, as it will be one of the best and highest value discussions you’ll listen to this year....
