As I watch his talk I find it inspiring. Some seem to find it to inspiring to be realistic. What do you think?

    Jun 22 2012: Anything is only ever too idealistic as long as enough people consider it too idealistic. As Bernard said below, if the idea is supported enough by action, it becomes reality. If not, it doesn't. If people consider it too idealistic, it won't be supported enough by action. If they don't, it will. Mind shapes reality ;).
