Yes, he's placed his faith in humanity. Good luck with that!
This comment of his is telling:
"Certain ways of thinking about ourselves and life and other people and these beliefs and mindsets, these narratives that have been indoctrinated into us can be very saboteurial into our journey of wanting to be at peace with ourselves and to live a life of liberation," he said.
If a person is truly trying to improve and to live as a good person, he's going to have to look directly at his imperfections and that's a hard thing to do. It would be much easier to accept one's imperfections as inevitable in order to have "inner peace" than to work at correcting them.
I agree and that “liberation” comment sounds Marxist. I want to ask him just what it is he needs to be “liberated” from?
