This talk is an almost perfect example of applause light[1]. 95% of it is either self evident or universally accepted. But in the end, there's very little substance, if at all.
What I found most creepy about this talk is how similar it is from preaches I used to hear for Christmas. Same tone, same use of applause lights. It really felt religious. And for such important (and practical) issues, I don't take religiosity as a good starting point.
