Who you are can depend on where you live but, with some, like myself, it can also depend on what you have experienced. Combine the two, places and experiences, some endemic to the particular places, and one often becomes a unique animal.

Watching the talk showed a highly intelligent, experienced and caring person. The fact he has lived in different places including outside his country of origin is critical.

One thing I learned from a friend, who took some courses with Toastmasters international, was to watch how many pauses one takes using ahs, or I means or basically hesitations. It’s called the ah-counter.

Started to watch but will wait for later. I am a firm believer in the power of geography to shape a society. We here in the upper NW have a beautiful nature that many want to preserve and protect. We support more liberal ideas and being a part of nature rather than apart from it. Look at many of the conservative states and often these people want to escape from nature as it has become oppressive (often through their own fault).Look at the ultra conservatives and wealthy (Musk is a prime example) and it's not a recognition of nature as the source of our economic base but is something to be controlled to match our wants. The first thing they do is a total (and outrageously stupid) denial of climate change and the huge los of non-human species. They often use science to build up their empires but ignore it when it says we are headed for a major crash.

Thanks for sharing!

It well worth the time to watch.
He shows some real intelligence.

This is a very informative, and inspiring clip.
The man is well spoken, and is great at descriptively elucidating his message.
It makes me look forward to hearing more from him.
