1/3 -- This interview is incredibly valuable today. It took place in 2003. Basically, it illustrates how the privileged 20% of the world's population sees reality and how the other 80% sees it. The interviewer, Tim Sebastian, a professional BBC tool, does not provide a single sound argument, but merely dwells on ...
