Privilege V The World

The whole thing is amusing, but forward to 2 Minutes & 22 Seconds. 

This short segment is not a blooper. It's what he "thinks", and it's scary as hell. It's typical of privileged white folk to think this way. I know enough of them to assure you that he isn't kidding. So there's really no surprise that it will be The Donald or The Hillary coming to office.

Copyright in America

Principally it exists for major corporations to abuse and exploit.

For Example: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/07/photographer-sues-getty-images-for-selling-photos-she-donated-to-public/

Falling in Love With a Perfect Stranger

Vice solicits a group of strangers to take part in the "36 Questions to Encourage Interpersonal Closeness". No, obviously it's not a magic bullet, chances will be greatly improved if you actually like the person you're asking the questions of (and presumably if you're asking them the questions chances are you're interested, so it's a failed experiment in that sense, it's value with random strangers is a bit too much of a scattershot approach), but it's an entertaining 10 minutes nonetheless.
