Hey all, here's my latest vid. I think the public spends so much time focusing on race, sexuality, guns and abortion that we neglect subjects like these. But they're important. So I'm hoping to be able to cover stuff like this while politics are relatively calm, and hopefully provoke some thought among the people who watch it.

Thanks again for your support, and hope you guys liked the vid.

Hi Ryan -- I just signed up after listening to most of your video posts. Great job! It's rare to hear mention of the Frankfort school, Herbert Marcuse or C. Wright Mills, at least in recent decades. I too went to college to become a college professor and I too went in "a different direction with my career." Out of curiosity, what was you second choice of a career?
