6. I think we have a system that needs a serious overhaul.
A system that values truth and learning above anything else.
We have somehow gotten to a place where America's definition of success revolves primarily around greed, wealth and consumption of material things and I believe that is what is destroying our country.
I think we have to begin to start confronting the myths that anyone can be as successful as Bill Gates or whatever myths that we pump into children, and replace them with other more principled definitions of success.
It seems capitalism has become a sort of monster that has begun eating itself and with it, it's eating us.
