Fix the World
The world is falling apart. You can ignore it, and let the kids deal with the damage, or you can change the way you live and mitigate that damage. This show’s about changing: Take less, give more, and leave more alone. It’s simple. If you do it well, you’ll fix the world. If you don’t, you can do everything else and accomplish nothing. That’s my summary statement after 80 years of struggling to make meaning of life. I'm not paid to do this podcast, and I'm not selling anything. I just want a better life for my kids, and your kids, and their kids. If that's what you want, I can help you make it happen. Think critically about what you want. There's probably a big difference between what you think you want and what you really want. Fix the world by knowing this difference, and working for what you really want.

Fix the World
Episode 3, What Is an Educated Person?
An educated person is one who knows what's more important and what's less so, and lives accordingly. What is most important? To achieve fully the eight Millennium Development Goals: End hunger and poverty, establish universal education, and gender equality, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, fight HIV, malaria, and TB, achieve environmental sustainability, and form a global partnership for development. How can we know this is the highest priority? Because the vote at the UN General Assembly in 2000 approving the Millennium Development Goals was unanimous. Why have these Goals not been achieved? Because they weren't taught, not in school, college, church, synagogue, or home. How can we fix the world? By achieving fully the Millennium Development Goals. And how can we do that? By encouraging people everywhere to listen to this show. Remember, I don't get paid, and I'm not selling anything. I have no ulterior motives. I'm just here to tell the truth because it's not being told, at least not truthfully. And the truth will fix the world.
