Con it might be useful to bullet point the videos. Brian crams a ton of info into his talks, and by his own admission is usually kind of winging it. For me, the effect is often enlightening but also a little disorienting.

He's quite good at diagnosing the world and the people in it. He's obviously thought very deeply on these things. I follow him pretty well there. But if you could distill his way out of this mess into a paragraph or 2, what would it look like?

Actually, a much better question is this: if everyone on Earth did what Brian suggested - right down to the letter - what exactly would the world look like? That would help me understand his approach more than anything. There is so much minutiae in his work that it's quite easy for a guy like me to get lost in it. I need big pictures first, and then I sort of work backwards. Make sense?

Reading his books 7x over and watching his videos 7x over would definitely make me more versed in his stuff!:) No argument there!

The reason I suggested the bullet points was to give me a reason to do those things. To motivate me. It's not to make the info more digestible, it's to make it more desirable. To make me want more! To make a mental commitment like that I need to have some idea of what I'm getting into.

If you simply hand someone a bunch of info on something it can be pretty overwhelming. I know that this information is best understood as a whole, but when communicating it to someone you still have to start somewhere:) Better to communicate the info imperfectly than not at all..because I don't think the average person is going to read a 700 page book on a whim, or watch hours of videos without really knowing why they're doing it. People today are lazier than they've ever been. They can barely read a post on a chat forum. I include myself in that group btw

If I knew what "heaven on earth" meant, exactly, I might be more motivated to really dive into the material. Thing is, heaven on earth means different things to different people. Hitler thought he was creating a heaven on earth too:) So anyway, that's why I thought that would be a good place to start. If I knew the end game I'd be more interested in all the bits n pieces that are involved in making it happen. But look, that's just me! Just a suggestion, for better or worse. I'd rather hear it all in your words, personally. Brian is articulate and intelligent but I think you're a much better communicator than him!:heart:
