Finding value through the haze of affirmation and individualism | John Doyle | TEDxNorristown

John Doyle, a romantic, thinks people are naturally good and we need to wipe away society to see it. We need to see the value in others and then cultivate that value that people can go out into the world and make it a better place. Doyle argues that affirmation is a problem. Instead, we need to teach people that they have value.
