The weather is crisp, the leaves are turning colors, and there’s mud and opinions being flung everywhere — the telltale signs of fall in an election year.

Change your mind.
I’ve just stumbled across THNKR, a YouTube channel of an amazing collection of videos by @radicalmedia whose sole purpose is to expose you to people, stories, places and thinking that will change your mind.
