Today we talk about his disillusionment working in US health services, his blacklisting as a professor in the US, his view of the polarization in America as a self-acknowledge Leftist, the difference between personal and private property, climate change, Oil, de-dollarization, whether people are getting dumber and his optimism that the younger generations will fix the world… because they just might have to.
