The future is, um, sigh, devoured by the present

Start the week off right and consider the big issues and ideas that will define your future and our shared future. Start with a good laugh, or a good cry. In either case, start here with Charlie Rose. Charlie is a well-known interviewer on US public television. Charlie once said, according to the CharlieRose.com “beta” web site, “I believe there is a place in the spectrum of television for really good conversation, if it is informed, spirited, soulful.”
Here is “Charlie Rose by Samuel Beckett.”

Thanks for the link from Scott Heiferman, who got it from ZeFrank, and thanks most of all to the editor, filmmaker Andrew Filippone Jr.
