I would have entitled this video: Almost Twenty Minutes of Falsehoods and Half-Truths. Nevertheless, in the interests of fairness, here it is for anyone who wants to buy it.
The Rabbi said one thing that I definitely agreed with. It's going to be a very different world in the years to come.

I wouldn’t trust a rabbi as far as I could throw him.

I'd say that's a fairly safe prediction. But seriously, yeah. The whole world seems to be at an impasse. The status quo conservatives do not want change in their societies. They have been and are fighting against progressive change. Progressive do not want to compromise. Capitalism is rapidly cannibalizing itself. Middle classes are rising in former Third World nations and shrinking in the West. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Edgar Cayce predicted massive ch-ch-ch-changes in the 21st Century, if you put any stock in him.

Edgar Cayce predicted massive ch-ch-ch-changes in the 21st Century, if you put any stock in him. So did futurists Alvin and Heidi Toffler. They are/were not psychic, but based their predictions on political and economic trends and the rapid technological growth of the 2nd half of the 20th century. "A new civilization is emerging in our lives, and blind men everywhere are trying to suppress it. This new civilization brings with it new family styles; changed ways of working, loving, and living; a new economy; new political conflicts; and beyond all this an altered consciousness as well...The dawn of this new civilization is the single most explosive fact of our lifetimes." -- Alvin Toffler, from The Third Wave (1980) What did we call this when we were young? The Age of Aquarius? And the above changes have happened. Yeah, it happened, almost like it was....dare I say it.....following some kind of a plan?

They have been and are fighting against progressive change. Progressive do not want to compromise. Capitalism is rapidly cannibalizing itself. Middle classes are rising in former Third World nations and shrinking in the West. The thing about change is that it's completely inevitable. Change is happening all the time, and will continue to happen whether people want it to or not. It has ever been thus, and ever thus will be. Fortunately, whilst changes are good and bad, the historical trend is for overall improvement. We live in the best time in human history, and our descendants will probably be able to say the same. Unless climate change destroys society, of course. Which would be a bummer.

Yeah, it happened, almost like it was....dare I say it.....following some kind of a plan? There is also something called a “self-fulfilling prophecy.” Essentially, this is what drove the Branch Davidians. They were awaiting the end of the world and the ATF/FBI brought the the end of their world to them. I say this with some knowledge because a friend of mine, James Tabor, a professor of religious studies, who knew David Koresh, had been studying his cult for years. He begged the FBI to let him inside the compound so he could reason with and explain to Koresh using “language” he could understand. Didn’t happen. pages.uncc.edu/james-tabor/ten-neglected-points-on-the-waco-tragedy/ I know about the self-fulfilling prophecy. The Third Temple is one of them. Now the trick is to con the world into thinking it's a legitimate prophecy.

This is based on his older work, and may look dated, but the observations about how accelerating change and how it impacts us seem more true to me all the time:

Oh, really? You don't say? I'm still waiting on my jet pack and my robot servant.
