This may or may not be off topic for this list but the video is very entertaining and informative and perhaps worth discussion here.
A very reasoned presentation. I particularly connected with the portion about how we are taught to react to stuff that has been determined to be obsolete, a word that primarily means "no longer in use." I am happy to report that I have very little stuff that is obsolete. I have been informed by others that my old computers are "obsolete," but because I use them regularly, those suggestions of obsolescence are obviously incorrect. That means that I do not have to go shopping! Yeah! I can save that money instead of spending it.
