Thanks for that. I'm hugely impressed by Rick's long term commitment and navigation of the political lanscape and like that he's more interested in how can we make the world a better place given the constraints we have approach makes him worth a lot more than the early wave noise makers like Leary and McKenna both of who kind of fostered the environment he grew in/threw. The fact he foresaw things and acted on them accordingly at a relatively young age is amazing. I think ultimately he'll have a larger lasting impact on the world than either of them, (but is also enabled by them) but possibly be less remembered? It also just highlights the problems with the capitalist approach to individual and global health. I think capitalism is just coming to terms with its problems as a result of profit motive rather than value or health motive. If you play out the scenarios: Do you want to live in a world where a few rich people have happy lives because the masses have unhappy lives (focus on profit over outcome) OR do you want to live in a world where focus on outcome over profit results in happy lives, but the people in power making the decisions don't get particularly rich? The best possibile lifestyle is in scenario 1, the best average lifestyle is in scenario 2. Help, help, I feel like I'm in a prisoners dilemma experiment.
