The people of Latin America 'are the most ignorant, the most bigoted, the most superstitious of all the Roman Catholics in Christendom.' Any attempt to promote democratic governments in Latin America would be 'as absurd as similar plans would be to establish democracies among the birds, beast, and fishes.' - President John Adams ... Miguel Ramirez tells his story of beating the odds to become a software engineer living in Mexico City, originally from Tlaxcala. We talk extensively about the troubles of Mexico and Latin America, from the Spanish conquest, to corrupt politicians, lack of schools and electricity, the lack of law enforcement, lack of economic opportunity, racism, and the interference of USA. We also highlight the beauty of Mexico, how perspective and appreciation matters, and the power of psychedelics.
