Agreed on nearly all points except the following.
>there are no good guys and bad guys
I don't think that's what he is implying. He is leaving it up to our interpretation but the absence of a position does not mean he is saying that there are no good or bad guys. From what I gathered, he's not saying anything at all.

Well, I think he's definitely saying that we've been tricked and that the narratives that are pushed supporting our lifestyle and societal choices are lies told to enrich and empower others.

Big fan of his work regardless.
