20 THINGS I’VE LEARNED ABOUT HUMANITY

During the past few years, governments in several of the so called “Western Liberal Democracies” rapidly transformed themselves from mainly democratic, representative administrations into quasi-totalitarian regimes – engaging in many different forms of propaganda, human rights violations, and yes, even engaging in outright discrimination. What is even more surprising, Zuby says, is that during this time, many people were cheering on these dystopian and often illegal measures and societal changes!

All of this came under the guise of ‘public safety’ and a vague, ambiguous notion of the greater good: A popular appeal and refrain used by nearly every tyrant throughout history, to justify both the trampling of people’s rights and expansion of the power of the state.

Zuby says: “My goal with this keynote is to help audiences understand the world, the people, and the circumstances around them just a bit better, and hopefully by doing so I can encourage people to think more clearly about what they see and hear in the media, in their classrooms, and in their immediate circles. Yes – critical thinking may be a dying art, but it remains a vital and powerful tool in today’s troubled times.”

On July 5th, 2021, Zuby wrote a thread on Twitter entitled “20 Things I’ve Learned or Had Confirmed About Humanity During the Pandemic”. It has now been read by millions of people around the world and in this speech, Zuby will talk about these lessons in much greater detail.

Zuby also has other topics he loves to talk about – he can customize a talk to suit your audience. He loves to talk about health and wellness, “woke-ism,” social media, business, and much more.
