    I want to have my mind opened up, teased, exploded, blown to bits. I want to have my current conception of the world turned upside-down.
I don't know what your current conception of the world is, but if you blithely accept capitalism or haven't thought too much about the economic crises, this will open your mind in an understandable engaging way.

The last line of this lecture on the crisis of capitalism is this: "We have a duty to change our mode of thinking."

The lecture is illustrated by the brilliant RSA animators. I find their work more compelling than TED talks. You can get to this wonderful lecture via Youtube or avoid the ad and get there via the Occupy Movement's one demand website. Scroll down to the video screen at the bottom.
