While I’m naturally suspicious regarding who and what decides who and what is “worthy of reward” in that it seems like an interesting way to repackage the age old story of one a small group of people controlling a large group of people, the video itself is quite enlightening, and I’ll take the potential for being rewarded straight into someone elses definition of life with an eye opener like this one any day.
Arigato.
