I would love to get inspired but my office computer lacks the technology to access the video. So, in a few sentences, what is he telling us?

shiva

well its a TED lecture a therefore worth watching anyways but heres the blurb from the site

"Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for "practical wisdom" as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world"

basically he argues for a return to common sense

I'm all for that.
Hope he's not trying to install this philosophy in this part of the world though....big ask.

hell no, lets try reinstall it where it has been lost before attempting the impossible
