Most people's lives are limited by their paychecks instead of lived. The speaker argues schools never teach investing or financial literacy, and governments use money and taxes to keep people in office jobs. He pushes for personal freedom and experiencing the world instead.

One of the things that makes me sadder than almost anything is that most people's experience of life is limited by how much money they earn. And quite frankly, I think life's about so much more than that. So I wonder, why were we never educated around investing? Why were we never educated around to actually live our fullest experience of life? And all of a sudden I realized that, you know what, the government doesn't want us to do that. They want good boys and girls to do what they're told and pay their taxes. The education system is an industrial age system. Guess what? We're in a different age now, but the education system hasn't moved on because the reality of the matter is, is when that the government can use money to control the population, which is a fact of what actually just happens right now. All you have to do is look at around your life at this point in time. And this is what I'm against. And it's time for humans to make a stand in their own individual life to begin with and go, do you know what? I want the opportunity to be able to experience this gorgeous planet in which we live on rather than spending the majority of our life in an office. That's not what life is supposed to be about.
