I found this very interesting.
I like the way the Dr. Campbell tries to stay in the boundaries of just providing the facts. Unfortunately, the information he shares does not always help with combating the BS that spreads around the internet, or the deceptions being presented by the media, because people have become too dependent on being told what something means, what they should think, and how they should act.
He is very cautious. He works very hard not to offend the wrong people, and to avoid being banned. Just one more thing that shows that he is pretty smart.
