“People don't do good things because they're good people. They become good people by doing good things, even when they initially may act out of vanity. The latter is only human nature.” — Rutger Bregman, "How to start a moral revolution," The Reith Lectures

Sometimes you get a few minutes on live TV with a billionaire. I tried to make them count 😅
Billionaires like Petter Stordalen like to say they’re making the world a better place. But here’s the thing: they could actually be doing it. Most of them just… aren’t.

Dat hypergeprivilegieerde mensen meer prijzen winnen en hogerop komen in hun carrière heeft juist NIET met talent te maken. 🙄

The BBC censored my line about Trump's corruption, turned off the comment section, and sat on the video versions for three weeks.
Still, I’m genuinely glad to see so many people watching (and commenting on) my Reith Lectures. Here's the first one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUJ-...

Why are #ReithLecture listing's on #BBacSounds so poor? How many lectures in the series, for example? Is it four? Are BBC marketing wonks scared that if 'n' is too high, no one will tune in? Is it to force purchase of Radio Times? Basic journalism and broadcasting, #FFS ? #RutgerBregman

trump is indeed "the most openly corrupt president in US history"
