This is a perfect example of how the fascists brainwash you, Joe, Beck is an expert at brainwashing, watch again the video with this in mind, they want to bring down Sunstein yet they can't directly because he's so qualified, so they "associate him" with Singer to appeal to your anti-abortion emotions. They talk about Singer the whole time and in the end fragile minds think Singer and Sunstein are the same person. You feel Beck is giving you important information but in fact he is brainwashing you. Now that you've been brainwashed you support Beck and promulgate his propaganda by posting his videos without commentary promulgating the brainwashing technique used...you need to be more careful. Sunstein is an expert on behavioural economics, Harvard and Duke have the top professors on this subject supposedly, corporations and their advertisers have been using the lessons learned from behavioural economics for decades in order to get you to buy products you don't need or want, they control your mind and thus your behaviour, you don't even realize what is happening to you... for example they trick you into thinking the cereal you eat every morning that is mostly refined sugar, processed grains, additives and preservatives is good for you because they've added chemically manufactured vitamins to it, you want to believe them because it tastes good to you (the sugar and taste enhancers) yet in fact the chemical vitamins added are worthless and perhaps even detrimental to your health, the processed grain has processed all the nutritional value out of the grain yet it tastes better that way (because your taste buds have been manipulated to prefer refined sugar and processed foods)...Sunstein wants to educate the public on how they are manipulated by experts on behavioural economics, because he is an expert himself, Beck is trying to curry favour with corporations that sell you processed foods by bringing down Sunstein, so you remain brainwashed and he keeps his job.

Well as a writer of the book "Nudge", he wants the government to use the same tactics. As a regulator Czar, he doesn't need to ban eating meat, he just needs to adjust regulations that will make meat more expensive.

?What does that mean for rat infestations? "If rats are able to suffer—and no one really doubts that they are—then their interests are relevant to the question how, and perhaps even whether, they can be expelled from houses," Sunstein writes. "At the very least, people should kill rats in a way that minimizes suffering. And if possible, people should try to expel rats in a way that does not harm them at all."

Sounds like Sunstein is a Saint, if he even wants to save rats from suffering unnecessarily, that's very Buddhist and smart cause angry rats cause more damage than happy rats.

The more I hear about Sunstein the more I like him, he would be great at the top of agencies regulating those who want to harm us through pollution, bank usury, food processing, concentration camps for animals, water contamination etc.
