Attack of the Hedges

Yes, that's right:

Another Hedges link.

Going to go watch it... NOW.

EDIT: Just finished watching it and... wow... best video about his new book yet!

Here are some great quotes:

"Let's remember that Fox is a non-reality based belief system; it is about catering to emotional consistency, not to truth."

"We have a choice, you can either be complicit in your own enslavement or you can lead a life that has some kind of integrity and meaning." (on the question of why someone should be a radical)

"...the capacity to rebel, the capacity to stand up and have the moral autonomy to say no ...  let's not be naive, you're not rewarded in this kind of a system for virtue, probably in any kind of a system... that is the price for having a life worth living."

"...if you don't have anger and courage then hope is not a possibility."
