The part that stuck out to me the most of Snowden's speech was this:
"What are you gonna do about it [the state of the world]?
You wanna watch your shows, you wanna go home, you wanna feel comfortable, you wanna give your kid dinner, you wanna go to bed. You've got a job to do, you got rent to pay. We're all running on a treadmill.
AND THEN WHAT? AND FOR WHAT?
Right now we are doing it for the likes, we're trying to get approval, we are trying to get acceptance, we're being driven to compete, for attention and for acceptance. INSTEAD OF COMPETING, WE NEED TO START COOPERATING."
The path towards real cooperation starts within ... it's an inner affair alone, a know thyself journey!
