Brand believes that the current systems are decaying and corrupt, resulting in more suffering, and there is a need to find new ways to frame conversations and look inwardly while speaking.
This interview was in a two-part series available for streaming on Fox Nation, where Brand urged the need for change in society. He wishes people to self-assess their intentions when interacting with others and overcome issues that cause problems. Brand emphasizes the importance of kindness, love, and being the best version of oneself.
He also urges people to reflect on their intentions and asks whether they act out of self-glorification, obligation, or a genuine desire for a better world. Brand believes that change is possible and is born individually within us, moment to moment.
