Talks about wrong perceptions.

you should probably post a warning for very graphic details in that video.

good overall message though...

I truely do believe in the virtue of manual and tough labour, and there may be some truth to the fact that people who are involved in manual work are more content with their lives. I've heard somewhere else that since they can actually "touch" the stuff that provides them with sustenance, they can appreciate their lives more than their counterparts who're involved with more intangible work processes.

Anagorisis & Paripateia... aah :) - that reminded me of my undergrad philosophy class - surprisingly he didn't refer to his own character flaw as Hamartia! :)

I liked the lecture.... although there were graphic details, I think it's about at 16 to 17 minutes what he says is the most important thing.

(I have watched many of Dirty Jobs videos - and seriously it takes a lot of gut to do that type of jobs...)
