This is not how to stop a Trump. Maybe prevent one, but this is advice for 2000, not for 2015, and useless for 2017.

Not that it looks like it was of any use back in 2000 either. “eudaimonia” is weasel defined as “genuinely” good, a definition that make it easy to ignore any inconvenient facts as not genuine. And the countries listed favorably seem to be just as infested with possible authoritarians as the unfavorably listed.

And the institutions listed seem little able to provide that vague “eudaimonia” either. Canada’s CBC has been losing viewers with the rise of any alternative, and what might be called the attempts at “eudaimonia” are the least popular.

All in all, a useless idea.
