Since watching fire country I went on a deep dive into it all, and it’s a great program. More places need programs like this.

It’s an interesting video. I am glad to hear the story of this hero. For me it’s something new. And I see how a man can change and find the meaning of his life.

Who’s idea was it to filter these lives through their cerosion, use people with impunity and worst of all..remove all privacy and hope??

I rather dislike Ted talks there’s rarely any substance, no details like how he got funding, whom is funding their program.
He seemingly ignores they’re still exploited and is seemingly even encouraging more. Forcibly coerced labor in a prison even by an illusion of choice is still slavery.
Even with weights and better food, like what are they feeding the ones that won’t do it. Seems problematic.
