LOVED this. The device of the old TV sets is really fun. The Sun Yat-sen quote made me tear up--Learning is hard, action is easy. I'd never heard it before but it certainly confirms the intro to my book where I say relax your activism, the problem's been 3500 years in the making and it will last a little more.

The activist impulse drives me crazy. People are willing to listen for 5 minutes before they're looking for the take-away: how do I fix it? It's so arrogant. If I were to name the #1 obstacle to system change it's this ADD knee-jerk need to jump into action and that reading, researching, understanding, discussing, strategizing, planning is all doing nothing.

? Music too loud? Voice is like a whisper without power or emotion.
