Hi there. This is my message to Millennials about how to change the world and I would say how to change the world properly

[of] course the question, then is well exactly what do you mean by properly and of course that's the fundamental issue

So I'm going to walk through that little bit

So I'm gonna and I've also got an offer to make to any millennials that are willing to watch this so

This was triggered in [part] by something I read recently by Jonathan hate and Jonathan haidt is the professor of ethical leadership at the nyu

Stern school of business, and he's been a very astute

Commentator recently on some of the political battles that have been going on in the social sciences

[noting] for example that there is very little political diversity in the views of social scientists and perhaps even less on

And hate recently wrote something which all all what are you linked to in the and the description of this video?

Where he claimed that universities have to decide between Social justice and truth and on the side of truth he puts

Philosopher call named John Stuart Mill an English Philosopher who said

He who knows only his side of the case knows little of that

His reasons may be good and no one may have been able to refute them

But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side if he does not

Does not so much as know what they are he has no ground for preferring either opinion

John Stuart Mill with Karl Marx who said the Philosopher's have only interpreted the world in various ways the point is to [change] it

He considers Marx the Patron Saint of Social justice

University which is oriented around changing the world in part by overthrowing power structures and privilege

It sees political diversity as an obstacle to action

male on the other hand according to hate is the Patron saint [of] what he calls truth you which sees truth as a

Process in which flawed individuals challenge each other's biased and incomplete reasoning and in the process all become smarter

Hate points out the truth university dies when it becomes intellectually uniform or politically, orthodox

So I guess this video is in part my call along with Jonathan haidt for young people to join

Truth universe versity, but there's a problem with that because the university is where the truth is being sought

That's the university, but there's a problem

and that is that young people want to change the world and it's part of what Piaget the

developmental psychologist piaget called the Messianic stage and there's some real utility in that because we're social creatures and

As we construct ourselves and formulate ourselves and bring our own character into being predicated on our on our

Platform our biological being we also simultaneously have to integrate

Adjust to integrate with and negotiate with Society which sometimes needs to be changed

The structure of [Society] has to be preserved

But it has to be [updated] and proved as it moves forward and so part of the problem is how to update and improve it

doing [that] so rapidly that you destroy everything of any value, so

The problem I have with the marxist perspective, and I've had this problem with it for a long time

Is that I don't think [that] you should trust people whose primary goal?

when they're attempting to change the world for the better is to change other people and you can tell who those people are because they're

always blaming other people and they're looking for victims they're looking for perpetrators and victims and then they're going off to stop the

perpetrators, and I think that's wrong because as

Alexander solzhenitsyn said he's a great Russian writer who helped bring down the soviet union

He said the line between good and Evil runs down every every [humans] heart

So that so the real battle as far as I'm concerned

And I think this goes along with the true tradition in [which] John stuart mill is is firmly placed in is that?

Chaos and Nihilism and the Desire to bring everything to a halt you have to repair the fissures

And-And-and the rift that's in your own soul, basically and that means that you have to confront

the the Evil that lives in your own heart

and there's a there's a statement from the new testament [that] I think is very much apropos with regards to this particular idea and

This is part of the sermon on the mount which is a central text in in western in the western tradition

I would say [obviously] central to Christianity but central to everything that western civilization has built and so christ says to his followers

the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye or

How wilt thou say to thy brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in [thine] own

eye thou hypocrite first cast out [the] beam out of thine own eye and then

Shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye

Well, I like that quote because it places the responsibility

For change at every level of being on the individual and obviously the individual interacts with society

But the idea here is that unless the individual straightens out his or her [own] soul

There's no possibility that the impact the individual can have on society can be anything, but [buts] a harmful in proportion to the harm

That's still in the soul. These are important [things] to know they're vitally important things to know

So okay, so but then we're faced with the conundrum that young people also want to change the world

but that's no problem because I [think] you can bring you could bring truth university together with the desire to

Change change has to start [at] the right place

so I'm going to tell you how I [think] you should change yourself so that you can change the world and

So that the world that you bring into being will be a better world and all the worst one

Remember remember you need to know about this that the world that the followers of Marx brought into being in the 20th century

Killed more than a hundred million people say in China and russia. [I] mean the soviet Union and [in] places like Cambodia and Vietnam

The world certainly changed as a consequence of Marxist doctrine

But it didn't [change] in in a good direction and of course the Marxist doctrine is

Making itself heard in a massive way across the west again now so all right

So what should you do about that? Well? Here's an idea?

The first thing you have to do is orient yourself now

You probably have all watched pinocchio and pinocchio is about how a marionette someone who's whose strings are being pulled by Forces Beyond his comprehension

[that's] the situation of the undeveloped individual

Geppetto who's a Benevolent father so a benevolent?

Symbol a symbol of benevolent culture makes a puppet his son

and then wishes on a star now a star is something that glitters up in the sky and it's and it's associated with the

Transcendent and Beyond and the divine and you know if you look up in the night, [sky]

And it's very dark [you] get a feeling of awe it's because you're confronting your soul

so to speak your individual soul is confronting the cosmos and you can feel a relationship between you and and and

and the totality so looking up into the sky is like a religious experience if it's a starry sky and

to wish upon a star is to find in a light that orient's you like the North star and

To pick a highest goal to pick the highest goal

You can conceive of and so that's what geppetto does he raises his eyes above his

his Day-To-day concerns and tries to establish a relationship with the highest of all possible values and

And and he has the most profound of wishes and the most profound of wishes is that the puppet that he's created

Could become a genuine individual genuinely fully fully developed human being and that's what you can wish for [yourself]

That's you can wish and and and and aim for that in yourself

You see that's how you deal [with] the suffering that's attendant on life because life is suffering and because life is very hard and people

Get sick, and they become mentally ill and and and there's malevolence in the world

And there's tragedy and so life is very very hard

you're not properly oriented with regards to life the fact that it's hard and the fact that it's full of suffering can can warp and
