Glenn and the “notorious” former NYU professor, Michael Rectenwald, both believe that Big Tech, China, and the Left share similar - authoritarian - goals. Rectenwald’s newest book, “The Google Archipelago,” explores just that. In it, he imagines a world that’s sounding more familiar each day: 5G, AI, transhumanism, constant connection to the internet, and all the possibilities that opens up – digital erasing, book burning, Revelation-style marking, and the creation of what he calls “digital gulags.” In this interview, Glenn and Rectenwald discuss the power we give to Big Tech companies, why they’re helping China control its people, and what’s in store for us. Because, as they note, evil comes dressed fashionably, saying it’s for our own good.

Chapter five inside the digital Gluck defector in California.
On the afternoon of May knife, nineteen sixty eight nondescript seventy six year old russian manner. For
low Level Communist Party member, a technician in the people's Commissariat of machine tools, Gould
prisoner and defector was paid. A visit
That is bungalow in San Francisco, South Bay and mountain view. California, the devil you see is in the details
over thirty years before, on January, twenty nine nineteen thirty seven
otherwise, unremarkable day beyond. That is over
being with a third of the three very public Moscow trials. He admitted some twenty seconds of barely audible, grumblings at an inopportune time and
within earshot of an end cavy officer his
otherwise inconsequential browsing proved decisive. Unbeknown to him,
placed on a list of socially dangerous elements right.
Deviation, honest
Right deviation, as was the particular designation written in the column to the right of his name of every
nineteen thirty seven in the middle of the night he was arrested and soon
The gulag camp, surrounded him exactly
five years later to the day his confinement ended as abruptly and inexplicably as it began
His sentence had been served and he was released
he returned to his home town of or Bergen
toddy no longer recognised in it. Didn't
her to him that he could no longer recognise as himself the self that he had once lived there.
Unrecognizable he would effect
although it have endured five years of arbitrary and pointless cruelty at the hands of his comrade prosecutors, he found escaping belief much more difficult than scaling. The metaphorical iron
whose inside was covetous
guarded by a line of resolute sentinels, believing that any slippage through the Berlin Wall near the city center.
Their death- and it did- but our defective-
reduce the number of potential executions, not by attempting to escape on foot. Instead, he became cargo.
A childhood friends would become a pilot with Aeroflot the only soviet airline and with flights that carried only cargo humanity,
To convince his friend transport him out of the country, he was
stowed in a wooden create and loaded into a plain headed for Riga, the capital of Latvia.
No report hangar his childhood friend pride open the wooden box, where he lay motionless now from a safe distance.
He saw the entirety of his existence in a new light.
Never. He had believed he believed, because not believing meant ceasing to exist what was best to believe it depends on what,
on the consequences of not believing but
What did the belief guarantee nothing to be precise? Why not
because ones belief, insured nothing about the belief of others. Their believes could suddenly change or their shared belief might eventually reveal itself as mass delusion and no one was safe in a state of collective insanity.
This
is from your new book. Michael yes and it's very different from the rest of the book.
It is all of a sudden we're just in this chapter in view
skies life in what jumped out at me was a
It's very poetic, it's beautiful writing, but this
if distance he was from a safe distance, and now he could see that what
where he did did matter
yeah, you can believe it. You can profess a belief you can
actually believe it or not believe it, but it doesn't guarantee your safety ever right exactly as us
we're getting up and also that the belief in a place like this, where, where
leaf is enforced in its enforced through until
tearing means you MA.
Believe, or at least pretend to believe, or else your ear in trouble and where they are now in America were real.
Starting here we are and you're starting to see that it doesn't matter
She believed done matter. Even if you are on the side, the quote rights
aid for a while, if you don't
travel with them and their belief.
Doing. I can change changes and it changes and seems to have changed in the mass insanity,
the next liner that you stop, that he see
asylum in the United States
What is an asylum?
a place where crazy people. Now so
the question, then, is going to be what happens there, and so what happens when we move the mountain view? California, so that's the heart of Silicon Valley. He does
not yet, though his heart of Silicon Valley, but it will be another time things get very interesting for em when those
agents are having a knock at the door, and you know
in other suspense, thereby as to whether they are going to be like the
former checker.
And deal with them accordingly or something else.
Along the way, but why why
Why did you write this in story? Focus? Your book is
your book is about digital gulags near that are being built.
It is, it's it's argumentative its exports.
Pros it is speculative, I admit their speculation and there it is.
Fiction that I thought that I should have liked
an interlude
action, that's just
not. You know, that's not really that far from reality and that it would give us the experience of being inside the digital do log.
Yet the Google Archipelago so explain what that is
from a good archipelago is, is the electronic digital
paper media version of the good luck. I think it is going to be
base of mass and total surveillance, a place of where everyone's movements are tracked, traced recorded, where
Everything is known, is an omniscience of sorts and there are going to be all kinds of policing
ramifications involved, so first well, let's archipelago,
is a is a collection of island, that's right, and so, when you say it's, the Google archipelago you're saying that that's just this is one. That's just one island where there's a emblematic island of the horror Capella GO, which consists of other islands like Facebook, like Instagram, like giving gloody anything.
Read the question: well, they funded
a lot of CIA. They funding to Google at the outset,
This was an intelligence project to begin with,
they wanted to use the internet to as on data mining. Opportune
because of an unprecedented opportunity today to mine data and
so they funded some very clever people at Stanford and around Silicon Valley, and those p
Those people became Google, what one part of them- and you know that I'm not
you know particularly that alarmed about that aspect, cause DARPA has funded a lot of research. The internet itself has, of course, military,
in word and origins. So the question becomes what what becomes very thank you know so
it has the potential, of course, to be authoritarian when it comes from a kind of a basis. So I think that there is a couple things that left keep saying. We're
towards fascism word had for its fascism. Well, welcome to the party. We ve been saying that for awhile
At the same time they say
things like so, let's give the
government dollar guns.
Yes, so there's this this this disconnect and from what they're saying too,
they're saying they want to do. Let the government is a problem, let's grow the size of the government, but what
I mean to me is that that's where the right has always
said. Okay, we have to have small government during the real massive, unilateral right sure we
to control the size of the government, but corporations are ok, yeah corporations
actually more frightening. Now then, any government, because the government is restrained by the constitution, but these s
private organizations. They have now.
If those restrictions on those restrictions and there and their arbitrating our speech rights at this plan- expression right in what you talked about.
In fact, let me see if I can find the exact line that you
you said
You
I can't find it now, but you you talk.
About how you are you're
You raised the array
There is the end,
former Soviet Union Mute.
Disappear and you can be disappeared, ready. We call, you would be disappeared, it you'd be dead,
peered in the middle of the night. You know the guard, they would come to your house, you now and and and and
I am basically pull you out of your house and you'd be online and mainly with nobody would ever knowing, as we know, has. As you know, your children will be left behind your my right. We left behind and you'd be gone right, and this happened routinely remain solzhenitsyn, talk about it quite logically right and in
But the point is that you, it's like you do
even right because you really didn't wanna, ask questions or you might face the same fate and so
Oh you're just gone yes, and the thing is this: is it I mean in the Google are,
Poland is not so much corporal, however, yes
is just is much easier to delete a piece of data than it is.
A corporal human being guess so,
it's a socially and it's a social death in effect because a few deleted so
additionally, in effect, your God, if you are
I mean everybody noses if you are homeless, you're, invisible, yes, say: you're
invisible, but you walked down the streets of any city, especially city. Like New York, you're walking down the city, you don't even get eye contact.
People don't even look you that's right, even though you are there and there's a number of almost people all around your invisible and one of the biggest problems, there is the lack of did of of actual documentation to prove
you are somebody right
and also that you have an address or something something that they can send a check to or something right. But if that's all gone you
sickly unknown person, so we're not talking about we're, not talking about
scooping you up in the middle of the night and putting you in
illegal logging and a wall we're talking about in the middle of I urge is deleted,
you don't have a bank, you don't write credit cards right, you do
We have the rights of a licence, maybe perhaps you
You are nobody body, unscheduled media, so you're travelling gone you travelling to London, New York, Paris, whatever
You know you're relying on digital technology to be able to go to allow tower to do anything and what
you're just the person in the process, because you ve been critical of something. Are you said something wrong?
and they have put you.
A list of dangerous persons. Interestingly enough that language
dress persons is the eggs,
same language, that Facebook is using in their policy manuals.
The same words as this
The union used really, yes,.
This is I've been saying this for years. What's coming, we had dinner,
the other day was yes, I was enjoyable we were talking about. We were talking somebody at the table that has a very different viewpoint. Pointy of of China
and Hugh and for both saying you don't get it now, you don't
stand, the digital world on what's coming and people
I really think that
is
oh some sort of sigh, fine nightmare and when you talk about technology you know, oh it
sky nets gonna get a kind of
sure Skynet, just not a movie kind. It's gonna be very quiet.
I likewise running this book I was like
crazier. What an m would read deeper and the further out doesn't know it's worse than I thought. Then I would write more and renouncing MA. Am I going off the edge and then I go deeper and it's worse than I thought, and this has continued every single person. I know that has done their real.
Really intelligent people on both sides. The aisle every
it was done their research, they say something really. It's
worse than I
Sadly, worse than I thought visits the we're we're too
books. We don't have a problem right but may was empty and maybe some left as yet not relent bright.
We all know
If somebody was out saying we're, gonna have a bonfire of books, we don't have a problem rain, but maybe
maybe some left as yet not relent bright most.
Of us would have a problem. We are taught book. Burning is bad because in the past s rent, but just like all of the atrocities in the past, it
history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
I end is rhymes. With book burning, all of a sudden. Those books are no longer available there, no longer on the shelf there. There they ve just disappeared, and when you
All digital things can disappear overnight.
And they can change. Yes,
They can change. I mean when Google was, you know. I was one of the first adopters of Google books because I thought I was doing deep. Research into nineteenth century study,
and I was be. I was able to find periodicals. That's great that I used to have to go dig in our case and in all
England for and I was able to see this is like
a cornucopia oversight. Tell this wonderful! Yet you know but said I
I start to think of them when they want you to recognise that its there's an effectively the scary
is what happens to them because they are digital. Now, everything is is really is in femoral its effects.
There's no
there's an end lie. Brands are saying that they're taking out
looks out of the library that are not acceptable,
and they're getting rid of them and replace it
without a box and we don't even and then those books are unavailable physically, we don't know
whether they are going to be preserved. Digitally at all, right, so
This is the ratio of history, which is a very big. It's all
It's been a big tool of those
Terence. You must erase history parts history, history that contradicts what you're after history. That is against what you're going for really in away its Fahrenheit Fahrenheit and what is a fairly form of one
Sophia, fifty one on four February on the internet for fifty one without the fireman,
you don't need that in Ireland. Only the farmer- you don't know the farmer
answer that it only the book burning and yet you don't need summer,
because you have digital the addiction. As you put it, you know this is a diction, I'm afraid
and the digital addiction has been very seductive, so strong people
and to a very seductive space, but to what at what cost that Russian there's other things too too. I think be concerned about that people aren't thinking through now. That
Your manipulate the manipulation. Are you familiar with Cason steam? I'm sure cast sons, dean, you know as a behavioral.
Scientists and there's nothing wrong with that. But when you start look
being at the behaviors
you look for a way to manipulate people
and that's what his book, nudge
was about him and he's
very much cut from. You know the cloth
propaganda. Now
You know he was. He was the father of propaganda.
Later changed it to advertising. Has led only because we saw how propaganda was used, but he was a father
agenda.
Began to now is is is an algorithm.
So it's not a pretty posts.
It's not a film using rats to make. You think people are rats. It's just
algorithm can it's? It's, not you it's what you make hard to find.
And in what you make easy to find theirs.
Very curious phenomenon has been going on ass. Well, there sour some groups that
I am to be anti this information groups
that are in fact the most prolific. This
formation groups that exist.
Should I say the name of an urgent resolution killed now: you're gonna, new knowledge, new knowledge, dot com, I'm never going what they did
They were the ones who testified to the sun and about the russian Botz rain, who
supposedly influencing thee
relax, tromp election two thousand and sixteen election in the
two thousand eighteen election in exile, Vampa of the garden was running for
yeah I can't remember his name had some issues. They brought up grandma anyway
they create in russian Botz and put them.
On the web in support of him.
In order to show that he was backed by the sun by the Russians. They produced
the Disan formation itself, I die
not familiar with this, using the New York Times and noble and wash, whilst that even the New York Times admitted this happened, and this
group was funded by a billion air. Has a democratic thunder can remember his name. I don't look at things
that way so much I'm looking at the trends and what's happening in this group, new knowledge is like
This is emblematic of what
it's going on. It's like they are to this information,
Google is to information racks, their schooling, its death.
Their creating what they say. They are the solution for its unbelief visit the website. Is it paints them as like this,
These good guys that are sorting out all the garbage and failures and iter
that those who are who proclaiming fake news are making it look there the biggest
airs it's almost the same story of the southern Poverty LAW Centre
those who say that there is standing against hate
their hanging around haters the
it's really right near the fair. You know me like a fair cycle culture,
Where are we headed eyes? I said in nineteen. Ninety five
on the air. What am I producers? Who still with me? He said I will never forget, because he remember singing
crazy- and I said, there's coming a time very soon, where you will not be able to believe your eyes or your ears that you will be
to recreate anybody saying anything you will swear it is and you'll be,
what do the same thing with with video and
here we are on, I think two thousand and twenty election is where it's going to really start to hit the fan. You have that ability now in your face and the the voice,
which was the one that was lagging behind, that
is getting to the point where you can't tell the difference. Gotta, I think it's,
Joe Rogan harm and see back and forth. You can't tell the difference. Is all visually reproduce? Rightly. Mass engines can just make him say absolutely arising from what happened:
to a society when the
There is no one, you can trust and the ones who say now you can trust us or a visa,
before are the most right least trust me
People are the ones that are manipulating things round the yes,
that's where we are Google's, one of them, of course, and this new knowledge group
others, others and the internet. There is an interesting show this to be symmetrical. Ok, it's very curious.
How this russian bought story kept floating around in going on for three years.
Because there was a group that actually help a digital corporation that help trump when
Cambridge Analytical
they did do
Digital manipulate.
It wasn't it wasn't the fairy us there was nothing illegal, but what they did is there
they did a psycho graphic profiles of every single American,
and then they fed them dark adds. That means adds that no one else can see on Facebook
steered them into different into a certain position so
how even that even the let liberal media misses the real story wishes.
Which were actually favour them. Instead, Ngos with This'Ll lunacy scrapped, you know why I don't get. It saw play this out. Michael
What happens to society like this I mean, I think,
It's usually an eighty year cycle usually for
You know you fall into totality Arianism and you and you climb back out of any eighty years union,
this one. There may not be any climbing out there there's something about digitization, the print.
This is collectivism and in what way
in this book. It is complicated and a sense, but it's easy to its easy.
Aggregated data and when people
effectively data.
It's really easy to aggregate people and so
They start to use not these again
you're getting collectivized through algorithms hashtags different things like that, and that's what they're doing.
Creating these. I can't digital nihilism.
Chapter in the book of Digital Mile, as amended, might sound crazy, but once you read it, I think you'll think
It makes the case you make the case now
Well, it wasn't my term I borrowed itself in that gives me a little bit of unhealthy Abed Jerome Lonnie is brilliant guy that he climbed the term in office
in two thousand and six?
here he was really talking about work, a pity and how this hive mind of editors was
France's, in particular with his own website.
Or in his own site, on Wikipedia late, we're saying all kinds of all things that he was like now I can tell you the truth about me: great movement. You just listen, and there like now right
and they had. We are no authority here. We are right now, so this high mind decided on what he was and it wasn't the falstaff. I have the same thing. I think it might still even beyond their that I was arrested for drunk driving. I've never been arrested. My life ever driven track in my life,
and it's on there and I
You have a removed and
couldn't remove. It. Is my life
you are not where you are not a trustworthy source someone's from yourselves? Sorry, I am that's what he found. He founded the play of these, as this is crazy ass. You know, but
gone further than that, since we got twitter mobs? Of course,
You know using hashtags and all that is clear,
in all these kind of, like red guards. Type attack
dogs, you all energy insanely,
very lent and fierce and destroy the structure of people. You know people weirdo technique.
People say that people have committed suicide over these Bedoya. The stuff, so
this is a collective zation, that's happening and the EU
think thing is this. The law
have believe that when they are in a collective
they are being radical
best, that's the whole definition of politics. Their definition of politics is this. We are we have to
collective eyes in order to have power against the big guys with the mummy and everything else. If we don't join forces and have solidarity amongst ourselves, we can combat the powers that be so selective
Is there basic premise for all politics now the thing
Yes, they can be formed into believing they're doing something political just because they are in a collective and that's what's going on
on the internet. They think they're being political, but there actually being used by, but I think our corporate globalists
and so they think, while we're really were really woke were were attacking all these people, especially those that are called dangerous by the Google archipelago, we're we're driving down the evil. People were tracking them downward, destroying them right, but that they are not getting the picture.
Are actually supporting it. Well I've.
You could say that about. Let's just take Google and Facebook they
truly believe they're doing good, oh, yes, and they actually believe it while their helping places like
I know- and I know that was project
in fly raised, there were
those who stood up and said? No, I can work with you if you like this there back in bed
with China and the Andrea different name, but they're back in bed with China, and I do
I really don't understand how
the workers, the in the regular person
doesn't see. This is a really bad idea where
helping. China scuba p
all they want to stand up against their government. Yeah where's disconnect
Michael well. Now I think maybe it's birds of a feather stick together. I think that they,
share the deeply a shared deep ideology
cherry leftism- that this is
like that, it's ok, there came to these pit this whole idea. Yes, I mean
there's been a number of people have said. China's the model- yes right, some
Our future is the motto of the future, because what it has both the prophet incentive for the mass of corporations, plus it has the total control of the population.
That's the model for certain types. Now, I'm not saying that capitalism altogether at all, I'm a free market person. I've.
That I believe in a free market, but that's not a free market, its that's a day, and neither are we now
we are also salute the Google archipelago. I'm saying is ingratiating itself to the state and vice versa,
and this is giving them state power are going to hear. No, it's funny any time. You look this up in history, any time companies
rush for legislation and to have restrictions and regulation, but I guess it's because they know therein trouble
usually it's because of collapse. I need protection from the
oh god, what it does is protect them is makes the pop it makes the cost of entry higher. Yes, this keeps the competition out its arrived, some monopolistic, bereft, correct here and so
this time you have these,
corporations coming and everybody
I don't know what I'm.
I don't know what I'm more worried about. How I think I I think I know I think
we would rather have the chinese com,
end of of the government control.
Then this illusion of government not being in control and it's the
it's those huge companies that are in bed with a government that don't have
of any rules that they can't make up overnight. Thinking
change their rules constitute.
Can't change. Yes, if it's a private
company taking
up any rule, they want a change of every day if they wanted and the other scare them
The other reason for that, I think, is that when you have a tool,
call state it's pretty. It's pretty
I say- is pretty natural to oppose it, but when Europe
you're talking about a corporate total,
terrorism. I thank which is like a state that's being effectively off in our past. After the corporate
powers that be and their running the their running, the stay there effectively amplifying and
undertaking state functions. It's it's much more difficult to put
to them and say this is what they are, because there
their massing through other things, do example most
Take Google and they're they're they're they're, ranking of website
one day when you do a search
The face of this has been proven now to be completely a sham and fair.
If it's not leftist, intrinsically they overwrite it and make it left a silver
they disappear, fear hole,
absolutely blacklist whole website they get rid of
All kinds of news they into Youtube. Did this to think
one of the one of these Congress. Persons data you to honour was a slate magazine writer. She did at Youtube search for abortion.
To her chagrin, like the top ten searches showed negative stories about abortion, so she complained to Youtube and they changed it by
the over the weekend by Monday, so that the story
so that the less was now almost all pro abortion at the top. So how does that connect that? Can that that's like.
Let's not exactly governmental, but in a way it is governmental. I mean it's. Their parole
they have a prerogative to do it and its harder to, like you said,
every conservative will tell you I'm not for it
elation, I'm not for breaking companies up, I'm not for I'm not, for
penalised in companies that have succeeded unpunished success. This is
becoming so clearly,
every single person that I have ever spoken too in Silicon Valley.
That is somebody we oughta
in french fries.
The Zuckerberg stout down to the main programmers who are looking at the architecture of what's coming. They all say the same thing Glenn
the nation state is over the past year, sober and they think there
right and they are- and I didn't understand that when they were talking about it, they were saying you know, so we have to have new rules and a new kind of understanding. The constitution won't work, the nation
state is over, it's gonna be borderless, and I couldn't get
asked my small thinking of
she's not could take a border down. No, the unites won't have to
it, won't matter anymore, that's right, because the corporations will be able to control and move things across borders and and track
who everywhere and in everything they want to do, and here's the twist
This is why they are actually left us
as their agenda matches the left's prerogatives. Almost point by point here.
And it's incredible. This is a very big deception because
of all anybody that says that, like the corporate Amerika,
is embracing. Left aside ideology. Ology has considered alone, because you know the story goes:
first corporations and and and capitalism always favours right wing ideology. It supports their interests of blood
no way there. They would ever be left a straight, but it
actually is not the case, it's not that
It's not always been the history case. Historically, there have been planning of leftist capless and this time
you're always monopolised by the way like Gillette
King, James Gillette Piano who was a core.
Red socialist by now
He was an avowed corporate socialist who thought that the corporation
we come one and it would be
to realising it would include everything all production and it would be the state simultaneously. This was
Imagine nineteen ten isn't! That is the idea that the difference
between national socialism and global
Communism is part of it is its nation and, as opposed to gold goal, glow
but it is also they do.
Necessarily take the property they allow. These companies have a thrill own years still on the company. That's right, but we're
A dictate what you're doing,
all the times, but we can come in and say no you're going to make this. I think
I called in the United States- is more like a kind of deal
banking. It's like, if you do. This, will do that. If you do this future, this will do that in a right. Italy, aside, trust legislation- if you do this this a third time, I thought about this since we were sitting down here,
So let me just say it sets out of my mind. You know I've heard people,
joking and our jokingly. Some people are series well enough. I've heard it with bill
Bill Clinton Ease,
bet easy Anti Christ stop at the end.
Ground ass me. I'm guessing dessert,
Obama or or Donald Trump, were the pope or whatever yeah first of all, the Anti Christ.
If there is an anti Christ it's coming here,
he's going to be so damn slick, you're not going to be he's not coming, not come away. You think he's going to come, he's not going to look even her right and that's the same thing. Hugo boss.
Is the one who designed the Nazi uniforms. It was he'll, go boss. So when you see those black ass ass uniforms, we now think they looked scary lack boots, no
they were fashion. They may was a fashion, a statement. It look great winning rains so
everything that is coming now, doesn't look like what you expect it to look like that when gear
coming it it's coming in in ease
and everything that you want everything the is coming when addressed in rhetoric, that site
that's wonderful, great equity,
diversity and inclusion in all these
hi noble sounding abstractions, which who could disagree with bright but supply
have to what is really,
it's really that language being used to two too to paper over what are they trying to use that language as its grim to cover, for we were founded,
on the individual and our first amendment really covers that right to conscience,
I have to do as an individual. I don't have to believe
You tell me to believe, and I can say whatever I believe we're
built on that everything that
happening now is
the exact opposite of that right,
the final storage. This is just fighters region. Last last night I got it,
I got a hotel room because I would want back. The Connecticut came back and I went
this place in Chinatown. They said the announced for three and a half
our hotel, I've had it with that. For now
go in and they say: you'll be an a dormitory with ten other man, s annoying long
she said yes, you well,
No, I don't have to stay here. It is in tiny anyway. Just to say you know, just this
idea that I would have to do it, you know, but that's where we're headed near
the end- and I don't- and
because it's a corporation if the government is, is
act by this corporation, where the government backs the corporation. There's no, but
no police to run to know that their
there have between them. There is some sort of hand in glove certain situation and between them there.
There's no way to get two per annum apart,
and there's no outside theirs
Simon them can intervene. So can you take? Can you take the average person
And say.
Ok. You know what your life is like today, but
appears ten years. However, along it take the others to come, and I think it come sooner rather than later now
we could be wrong on.
The timing, but if we don't wake up, I dont think were wrong and what's coming yeah. So what.
How does the average person's life change? How are they ex? How are they affected? Well, I mean if
you know there seems to be a race between America.
Are? U S and chinese AY implementation fright and, as you were talking about recent
Nothing was there sat or maybe yesterday about what
in a five g, whoever really develops five g first,
and an connects,
with their I potential there.
Going to win this race can explain, explained five g for
Well, don't don't understand, it's gonna be a massively incredibly fast
instantaneous internet, the gigantic pipe France of gargantuan bites, senior and instant data transfer like
it's like there's no late and said nothing and it will be
so the reason why we don't have self driving cars right now is because we don't have five tree, there's not enough band with the handle right cause it.
To have a self driving car, we think of self driving cars as having
these cameras sensors, but when it's
acted to five g. This we're really scary. One is connected to five g.
It will know who's in literally
Who is in the car next to you area and all around you and is constantly calculating it's taking them.
The information packet of how that driver
even drives yes, and if you're gonna be in an accident which one should I should
go MO down the the person on the sidewalk, or should I mo down this route, and I regret at the Lima yeah I mean it's gonna have that kind of information with no latency emigrant constantly going to because it and so basically the way I put it- is that you now we go on the internet now right, it's going to be a very quaint and
tourism very soon, you'll
in the internet of course, so what's the difference between that and the matrix? Nothing except that your boy,
but he's not underground serving as a battery that, if you let that fuel, we are actually here walking around me
your data and your your digitized eyes, the matrix, but your physically here in the matrix you know so I mean this is
this means that basically, we're gonna be in ambient cyberspace, cyberspace, we'll be all space
I mean you know, you could go to the Grand Canyon and you'll still be in cyberspace
we'll be very rarely places that escape. This kind of
complete surroundings, a cyber spy
so it would be like being bathed in it. An effect so you're in it
going into, will explain to me the difference like right now
I'm in a studio. Your phones work in my funds were we

differences that there be no b
see tv cameras will be
many more devices for for gathering in

obviously, collecting it connect
it to you and then, of course, connecting algorithms to you to predict few behaviors. So there
In fact, you could be followed because they have decided that, based on a certain pattern, you're gonna do something illegal on any minute, and
as long as-
Till the point where we have argued
said reality and yard of everyday life and yet lasses its anyhow etc. When that happens
can be easily nudged visually. He s like
we are now when we're using arms are apps. You know we're looking for a place to eat, we got a yell, but we find it and it shows us how to get there will be.
We can be nudged and also all the all these every bill. Google glass was supposed to give you information about everything and look tat. Rang This'Ll This'Ll be happening, it'll be just way more information and enough
knows what it really will. What kind of every may have.
Interesting being somewhat famous,
The disadvantage is, people think
They know me and I dont know them at all fear, but they think they have heard that some people, the Bob Dylan, said that about being famous yes, weird, it's really weird
but they don't really know- you know we're all kind of going this through this with Facebook. You know here, you're, not really showing who you really are arrays book. You're getting this snapshot needed if it's an accurate snapshot, it's only one
snapshot, and so
no the v
the information that will be coming in front of your eyes will be that same information that could be skewed in one way or another. You'll have a living kind of Wikipedia that
feeding your glasses or your eyes right. This is who this man is Ranger in, and we know now that this these alike,
self is not a neutral information source. It has an agenda, so
Would we imagine that agenda wouldn't be spread into the entire cyberspace one? It's now everywhere.
And so being in the b.
In this are being in the internet means that
means a lot of things. It means that that there,
can we do it almost everything you even things inside residences of me now, but
everybody will be pretty much unknown quantity in effect
a wise and
surveillance, is like talk about this in a further
therefore, for the left Us Michel for
call who was a post, modern theorists, wrote this up book called discipline and punish one thousand nine hundred and seventy five. Any talk about this thing called Panopticism, which I talked about in my first chapter
slip. Panopticon was invented by Bentham, Jeremy Bentham, the nineteenth century. Philosophical radical was actually left us by
took his idea of this prison system
which is a central tower and you're in these cell surrounding it. You can't look in,
the power to see if the guard is in there, but they can look in
see if you're in the cell right
every single cell, it's it's like
it's like a chimney with all of around chimney, all of the cells on the outside right and then
Innocent centre is already I yes now. The thing is
about this is that you
dont know if you're being observed or not, but because
The possibility of being observed at all times you
become you around surveillance.
Become your own
put that you become the principle of urine subjection. It used to be it
to be God, that's right.
He used to be got used to be got. That's where the conscience comes from, and I, like, I wrote paper by the militants, Paradise lost and talked about how God was the pet pan Optic guard and then because we
would, you know he could see, because he can't see- and I believe we can- he can't see into our minds that we do our. Basically,
accordingly or not, and that you know
comes from that. Well, this
kind of reinstalled, technologically and in our God forbid,
God there is aid, there's a sect of technology people.
Silicon Valley who,
not sure if there are serious or they're just trying to make a point, but they have built a church,
for these
the a I god because they say a asked:
I see her intelligence is going to be so God Light, yes, that we will worship it colonel

These are the human technology so that the universe will he calls it all the dumb matter of the universe, we saturated with knowledge, and
wake up,
beyond mission, because, though little know everything there is to know that makes it on mission right.
It'll, be God will, and so, instead of God creating the universe, universe, great god- and this is the singularity. Now,
it's gonna, be such a religious, wonderful, mystical, experiences tat. Now I don't think that way out the great always God is still programme.
At least initially by five model: human, flawed and and and and dreaming interested and and by the
the worst thing I've heard Mark
Bernie these guys say is-
and we have a responsibility to make the world a better place. Nato
no you don't not. As a corporation, our there, that's where you have
responsibility to produce
or product that people were
wait a minute. You start to say, and you know what with this country
the world; we can help shape it you're in very
full danger in order to fully different register, totally
and this is what I talk about this in the book in this first chapters called woke capitalism and what is going on with this. You know this. This woke corporate
mentality. Origo me a totally different view of of what was going
unexplained. Woke capitalism, ok, melody
Have you seen many instances of it like the advertisements, you now, for example, the Jalalabad speaking of Gillette, where they met toxic masculinity, was inevitable
derived it envy. You know these guys are looking into the mere or not to shave, but two,
too rude and try to exercise from their psyche. This horrible toxic masculinity, you know and then there's the scenes going on, in which all these men are doing these terrible thing. Predication on women, you know Mansplain in a which means you don't got to tell me,
guided talking when woman is a round at the man's playing things like that and it
Was this whole you out,
this whole moral.
Rhetoric and this whole moral story. They were trying to pervade bout, have men should be bring, leaving say, do that
right thing. Save the right thing, the right thing and I M
so this you know and then the Capri Vow right thing and of their value,
I think not all right thing that so that's very explicit, and
the cap and I got in and then you have
you talk to me about it. I had to figure
charming and prove how virtuous they are right. Nike in the Betsy Raw Sneakers year sign
My question was what is going on here. Ok, so, first of all its its though
corporations embracing contemporary leftism now,
anybody who knows the history of left in corporate Amerika
knows it, it's been one of nothing but contention. So why are they now in love embrace this as well?
tortured may not tortured, but he turned to me and then I had to figure this out, as was the Basel and
so going deeply into it. Looking at it and really trying to analyze- and I think that is very clear- that it is not just the marketing
it is not just a await us.
Assuage their customer base.
Be in on play, K, dead, diverse peoples. It is part of their real agenda in its suits their perfect that their aims perfectly
and your lad? I mean I've, studied the history of Gillette. Now, going all the way back to the beginning, they had
an ad in nineteen o five. They had
baby boy
now there were saying that they want to train you early
to say to the public that use
be shaped by someone else, because that's a form of putting them into slavery, for you in night
No fire, yes
have to see that is that raises in the book.
Crazy, nineteen o five Gillette added said. I forget what the term
what the byline, as on the average, basically start a media,
they shaving yourself an end, its it seems kind of crazy to put it in a razor blade in the
of an infant him. I mean I think they are trying to kill the letter, its aggressive nation lights. Lots sought cut their throats,
now. There were saying that
a train you early nazi depend on others. Did you don't use people use the gutters? Barbara get shave
There was now be self sufficient, not only because it self Reliance and all that,
if so, that you're not putting any one else at your service he's already starting this class
Also justice, moralising from the start and of course he wrote
we'll called World Corporation and nineteen ten in which he talked about the corporation that expand
subsumed all other corporations and finally becomes the singular monopoly of the entire globe, and the government at once seems like Google s throne

and is only really could work with this kind of technology. It takes the digital world to make that possible
is it takes digital digitization and high speed at high speed internet to Korea
a World corporation, our world system,
You know that it's it's amazing to me that all of the things I groped catholic winter covered.
And later to me ass, so you go into a seminary while he asked in a monastery, so you had to have learned about the book of revelation areas and all of it
stuff seem like that's, never get lab, then he's never, there's no way.
No currency
everybody's got a now are counted. You
be able to buy certain goods. Without the mark attire
It's incredible! That's incredible! I mean to me. Well, you know what I think clear to me that that
thus in others
there's no way a human being could have known that right.
Mean that this is divine inspiration and an ant and and and there's not a way of word no end
kids, there
no way. Any of that could have happened
in that their failure, and I don't know of any other time that that could have happened. Even you know this is you know Hitler
had the IBM punch card. That's right, you know, and so IBM was right. They're gonna help you sort people
but dad technologies
when we
get rid of currency. When I could have died,
said thirty years ago: how can I get rid of currency or their? I haven't carried,
a dollar in my wallet- and I dont know how long you know. Domain name only do for tempts, forget yeah, yeah, so
you're sitting here
you're, not using currency at all already
of currency quite easily easily, and once you do the thing that people have.
I talked about.
What New York state,
but the governor of New York is doing to
Get around the second amendment.
He's saying to the banks, you know we
Do an audit of you. Every year we have similar FED regulators does do an audit and manpower
phrasing. We can do this the hard way we can do this the easy way. We feel that any of these
corporations or any of these groups that are building or selling guns that will
kick you into a more extensive, odd it so
We were just suggest that you dont do business and you're. Seeing these these giant banks say I'm not gonna do business. I gotta go to the individual to write
because the bank's won't accepted because they ve been marked? Yes,
and you know the bank sees it.
The can obviously and that's it
We are already having you're already having people.
That are speaking out. I mean PETE
It used to a vice president's about Islam
and know the difference between a Muslim and an islamic year. Those people have
already been Natalie DE platforms, their voices silence, but they also can't use so
banking systems. They can't use
credit cards. They can't you certain banks, because the
won't accepted because
I've been marked. Yes, it's terrifying prospect. I mean you know, I'm not stop,
Just by myself. I'm talking about anybody, I mean you know just to see this
like, for example, technical homeless people. How will they eat? I mean
you can't even give the money
ramblings diesel there's no way to even how people like that. So very curious problem go back, something
is touched on earlier, but I want to hear-
talk more about the concept of knowledge.
We ve gone through, but
talk about it in a way of the philosophical
oh argument on free will
yeah, I mean it's really, it's really well. We know this is a big issue already a problem and philosophy, of course, and
Determinism is of you know
determinism is really the the ruling personal belief
monks, most philosophers, there's no such thing as well as just an illusion.
We get this idea that we decide on things, but it's really it's really deterministic, like anything else in nature.
There's always a cause for every action right, so we're just more. Just
Oh your balls on the table. We will again we're getting knocked around. We think were doing it out of their own volition, but now that's basically the philosophical line for the most part in the dark.
When, when you see companies like the
can't remember his name. He's a professor up at Harvard well respected Hillary Clinton voter
who is ringing the bell so hard saying he eat it,
Google is manipulating the elections, they did it in sixteen. I ass a very much worse has on this. I am said in twenty twenty now. If it could be
A total
skewing of this election, because they're so good, and no one even will recognise that there are any now because they're going to be used,
Judging by the going to have private everybody has predilections and beliefs.
And these are gonna be read in other gonna- be read like Reno and open borders
and so using those predilections and those that you know
desires are tendencies and so forth. This just me just
a little bit closer with another little dark. Add that says-
Hillary Clinton is thus harbour. Tromp is that it is just a little bit closer to the side,
and on and on and in it's not gonna, go
towards tromp. It's going to be
oh towards the democratic side and they're gonna, this they're going to disappear stories and that are positive in the eye.
I had one of my researchers. I actually I looked for something I was looking for a picture. I saw trumps
first campaign rally for his second term and
and I remember the first campaign rally of Barack Obama second term. Second term,
it was an empty stadium while and they had to shoot it differently and
because I worked at Fox that was willing to turn the camera around eyes.
A very different picture, and I know there were pictures of this everywhere.
So I wanted to do something on the passion behind the Donald Trump people. In his second term,
no present in his had like Trump, has even Obama
I wanted to show those pictures. I look.
For two hours on Google. I tried everything I could to get those pictures and it took my my the deepest
more, but I have a guy who knows the internet inside now and just as a mole yeah, I called him at nine. O clock
The night said: can you find? Can you find these pictures and he's like all? I know exactly. I remember seeing my exactly
Three, a m: he finally got them,
three. I will call you call me at five a I got the update, but it is its that's how hard
Most people would say: I guess it in exist. If the
You're gonna have to deep dark web tv, and all that, I think, are basically
releasing they're gonna be hidden
to keep it out of Google spur purvey in I because otherwise an error purview though otherwise can totally control its. I don't like the dark.
Yeah, but I don't want to be part of it. I don't like I don't either I don't wanna go like in the eye like I don't like.
The travel on the dirt, and so I don't do it, but I think that's where the stuff of those kind of pieces of information will be followed. Black market and its its black markets are always
I used by governments or institutions that are out of touch with either here
nature or
society and muttering I just read a story about New Zealand.
You know, their gun, ban and
The thing was passed so fast. Only one representative in their parliament stood against it only one.
If made every one, a criminal and now their talk about you
Do you know how many guns have been collect? One point: five million guns. They said they have. How
we guns have been collected
since that was past months ago. They said they had one point: five million one point: five million in that country, the conference it ass if they were actually five to ten million. That's my guess: yeah ok
but how many have they collected all its? They pass that seven hundred that's
out of tat. They are with the facts with the are they are with the people. The people who have the guns are like I'm a turn in that em right, laugh course not turn in that in right. Tell what they ve effectively done. Is they ve made every one a criminal
and now they're talking about you have to come in and register your gun, you know or
be a felony. Well, now wait a minute so
way, I didn't turn in my gun and so
to come to you to admit that I didn't turn in my gun to register my gun, and am I don't it's a felony you're just
piling up criminal charges. I just give it a little historical context for this Lenin,
you know the revolution and by nineteen eighteen
was already sang, killed all those coup, hang them and burn them.
Tell their families and
publicize it in the paper he was, he was the monster, Archer a monster, and then he said confiscate
all guns, all guns.
So I mean this is just it's just par for the course. Every dictator says that every day
it says: no, which should tell you something about our founders that were saying. Never confiscate, never confiscate guns right, never give up your
and I'm not some gun freak. What I am talking about assess its about rights, it's about, like that, the bright where we were in downtown and the rights that we need to protect our rights that we were in doubt, and one of them is that I think so. I ask for your philosophic and ethical viewpoint on this. Yeah I've interviewed Ray Kurzweil.
Several times and eyes curious. I love him, be smart and I m terrified by. I didn't you
seven years to get my first interview with him, I started
the mid nineties trying to get an interview with him after I read the age of spiritual,
that guy
and that is, I opening
at the time everybody said he's crazy. Will never happen, oh, I believe,
did from the minute I started reading and that's what we're headed towards yet
the age where machine is gonna say: don't I'm lonely and its
It's going to change our relationship in other talking
How about and will have a point to this, but I want
take you through on this journey here with me and injured your thoughts.
As we go. We have these people now saying you know said:
robots the than sex workers sex spots, rattled law
I heard one one psychiatrist on, I think was Joe Rogan
was talking about how pedophiles it might be good to go
pedophiles these children robots
a tumor last, so they yet yadda yadda yadda, an
I'm listening to this in my car and I'm shouting
no
the minute, those things and it's going to happen lame consciousness.
Are we not slaveowners
as there is a very big question there. The question is: if there
if they are in doubt, if they do have consciousness.
Fighting is as we're going to be considered, having no will
They are going to be considered, as have any will mean Africa.
The shallows great book about how what's happening is we're we're B.
Coming, artificial intelligence and machines are becoming more human. Yes was so we're going opposite directions.
Machines becoming sentient human beings became robotic right. So what defines-
what? How are we going to nobody's even talking about that, and I think we could be ten years away from that now. What defines light
Ray Kurzweil says just a pattern of
you know of your brain. That's that's all! You are just a pattern of how you think I can
We produce that. I can store that. I can download it into machine. His exact quote me is
No one will ever die
like no, that's, not life, yeah Kay.
If you don't believe in a spirit of no believe in,
divine spark
What I think. I think it is this
to do something that is not rational. Let us not self interested.
Doesn't make sense that follows
algorithms,
that has no purpose in turn
of the worldly value system
and defies it that will prove you're, not a robot
how prove your living sentient being with
endowed
with a will and spirit,
because you will resist this whole debate
This is listen. I get into and the conclusion of the book, I'm not talking about revolution, take over Google, we must storm,
Google. We must overcome and we take over the information means of production. That would be a worse
nightmare, because then we'll have
totalitarians that want to kill people.
Instead of just people who want to control, they don't want to kill the controllers.
And being a new set of oligarchy in anyway, so its spiritual situation, in my opinion,.
It's. A spiritual situation is a situation in which the gonna be
prevailing narratives to greater and greater extent with more data to back them up.
Which means they're gonna, be harder to harder to resist harder to to deny
harder to overcome harder to have a prerogative different from that.
And so I think the battle is in the soul.
I know I think it's actually in the sole Balmy a crack. If you well, I don't care because that's where I think the only
it's the only thing is they do. Is they gonna
you telling you knew who you are, what you are, what you're going to do all these things and predicting it and and
one- is gonna- have to draw from some other source that
theirs
that is unfair narrative. My father said the tumult
our words in any language is, I am that's what
God said most of em that, I am I say, send me I am the rain and
is he warned me? He said if you don't intentionally Phil
the blank in after the words I am, the world is full of people
that will fill it in four? Yes, and when you look at what common
or what Bill Gates said,
His vision is for common core and were close to this now nine as early Commodore, but the actual scanning of the I once they once
can look into your eyes. They can predict almost
anything. They will know more about you that way than any other way, and his point was we're. Gonna have
cameras right on the screens, and so we can look into the kid. So we can then sort them and show them exactly what business line they should be trained. Fourth, basically, training raw
but still go out into the world and feed business. But you know what
What the will be able to show them where they need to go? Well, that's
the company or an algorithm filling
the blank of I mean is this was already in two thousand and ten there was there was a conference and why you- and it was called
your brain on Google and the idea was you're, not gonna have to go searching on.
Computer or phone, or anything like that you're just gonna, be connected. The Google it'll be
implant, in your brain and beyond the weapon out, and so the thing is every every server.
Every servant as they call it and computer technology their servants were the anti and their servers,
every servant is also a server that means than ever.
But brain if it is in fact on the web, we'll be open, information it'll be it'll, be so,
if there's a way the translated into and selective,
into a language is a hive yang with
have a way to translate. The thinking are launched this into a language that is readable by the machine and then translate over to the imminent, but that's very its
I say that I think consciousness is going to be now that we're gonna be the internet. We're not gonna be just made than it it's gonna be in our heads and it's going to be able to tap into errands humanism
training of any new, that's crazy! That was the first
after in our member which book from Al Gore, but one of his big he no near one of his big books. It was
about Trans Humanism, people don't
Understand. That's why Stephen Hawking said at the
of his life. I don't think human
will exist by twenty fifty. He didn't mean that we would die out, rightly meant that we would be augmented. That's right, some planted right successor species. So what happens to again this
whose till the the life part of it and your arm
did your you ve already been shaped, somebody telling you who views
to be then your augmented, when I asked Ray Kurzweil. What, if I just wanted to be,
He looked at me like I was from another planet, and why would you want? I am that's exactly what I say I am. Why would you want that? My head, modern ochres? I like the mistake he said,
the mistake mistakes
Learn from those I grow from the fats and he said well, no one will do that because
First of all, you won't be able to survive. You won't be able to
compete and you will
Actually, as I thought about this more more you'll, actually be a danger.
People cause you'll, be so slow in com
You know me like a real bad driver on the highway rack, thirty miles an hour and speed, but exactly right now you will be so slow. The EU will be an obstacle. This society will have to remove you and either force you to upgrade or force you to live over here.
That seem reasonable. To I mean I've, just
the logical on the pathways that we allow. That sounds right. You know, and if he was not ass, it was
crazy and I read the singularity is near, and I was reading all this stuff laws, Workin and Robotics Institute. I ass these.
Programmers and what do you think a Karswell eyes crack dumbing down
but nowhere, but that's not what we're dealing with these
As you know, I I,
It's gonna be distributed intelligence little pieces of software passing along information to other little pieces, and all that distributed in intelligence is what it was called. Agents agents technology
the fan, Google Heart, the guy
and its investing,
who knows how many millions into israeli authorities had met. That policy is now you know,
through that unless there's something there- and I mean this- is this- this is not crazy,
This is real stuff there doing it and I think most scientists believe that
it may beyond the horizon. They just think that he's too optimistic now move the goalposts back in our bodies
also consistently right on a lot of things. A lotta thing alive predicted
not a thing says: no questions
done some incredible technologies. For example,
oh see our technology is his
in our being able to zero scam that thing and then turn it back into words from the picture. Owing these guys
ass, brilliant, it means Brian, so
doesn't mean he's his
is proper right yeah.
Let me go back to its the Spirit, yeah two things on this.
I think I have evidence that that is true.
Because you remember the the Microsoft, I think it was Microsoft programme
could tweet for you, you and indeed in all of the tweets, and then it would
oh you and then it would start tweeting at the first on first day, number one people were amazed because it was exactly what they would have set. Whilst I now by
a five. They had a shit
death, because it was so nasty here today and I thought to myself that that's what
super intelligence just may be because it is the it's the guy.
The governor. Usually it's the conscience that
x, you say I wanna be that way. I don't you
didn't go down this road, any corrects so
you'll learn you'll, do something that make you feel bad or it gives you bad consequences in you correct, but if, if you don't have that certain something
that brings you say you should.
You're doing this year,
Can I go over the claiming? How have you? No, I know of a particular sociopath who confessed to me
Then he has never felt three among these three emotions, fear guilt or shame, ok and
justifies it because he's a genius. Ok, that's what they said to me, which proved.
This person is a terribly dangerous and get away from four can
The scariest thing I've ever heard remained from
admitting it point blank and writing. So that's the problem. You have their theirs.
A type of mentality and it in
its industrial chiesa, crime and punishment the character.
I forget his name, the character, the main character thinks he's,
super moral he's, a super man and he
as the right to decide what, whether this woman, this pawnbroker, can live or die. So he does.
She's, would worthless and actually evil, and so he kills her and now
this choice in there's something about genius that allows complete.
Supervention of morality and
this is. The issue I think you're getting out here. Is that supreme
intelligence like this will think that it knows.
Whether or not it can do anything at all, on my reason to obey any morality of anybody whose underneath it
conscience, wise or not obeying the morality of flies. That's right!
remained brain. I don't even know, nor do I care they're morality, Kurzweil told me clean you, gotta keepers,
Of healthy until twenty three, his vitamin freak any Siena right and by
twenty thirty there will be no death. Now, if we can't decide right now what life is when life began
Let me take you to a world where.
Your diagnosed with cancer, and we haven't cured cancer for someone Unreason
let's just say it's cancer or something like that in the future. There now is just so expensive rank
and an you have this disease. Why even look for that
you're for that disease or spend any money on that disease
I can say I want
download you
so you live forever anyway. Here bodies got kids,
no more about it. You re shipyards,
you're right lies our conscience. Nothing new.
When I said that to re
but he said now that will never happen again.
Why and he said, because it on
ever happen. People people won't be like that.
What what what exactly will never happen? They won't put him on the suitably what that we won't just look at dollars. Incense and we won't just have some
I'll go rhythm that, as you know, what's cheaper Dounia alive in the silicone breast it it'll be year. They took they talk about the there's deliberately genetics. Now you know right. This is kind of like a liberal euthanasia, in effect
right with a computer run. It is right now that's for
frightening and the and with
with the determination is not being made by a human agents. Perhaps so is the equal, absolutely not tap absolute.
So will the is the answer here. Much of the west, currently, it seems, runs on wealth of nations. Adam Smith,
not moral sentiment. Theory of my sentiments,
mentioning that you're one of the very few people who knows that book outside of a university in an eighteenth century glass. That's crazy, ass, grave! Everybody should know everybody should now every is that every single person, I'm too
the number one
the number one problem at whartons,
Will business now is
you know there lay out a case, study and they'll, say: okay,.
Was this right or wrong,
There is no basis for determining and base that big. The number one question from the whole classes: did it make money
an easy, I'm not asking you that I'm ask. Is this right or wrong? Now is no moral sentiment. There is no governor. There is no reason. There's no
aid to determine right or wrong as there is no right or wrong, but the thing is it out, and Smith was pointing out. That cannot be a supervenient state has to be implanted in the self right and vat.
Where it comes from its comes from you,
you see another person suffering and that causes you to behave differently. It is not about an overseer right, so that's, what's beautiful about the fear
fear moral sentiments. It is eight as a co,
a co recognition of each other's rights and each other's needs.
And each others relate.
Relationship to each other like how warehouse connected and all that's and it's done
some through visually and many talks about right. Now, it's a lot of visual recognition right. I cite as a big part of this
I mean not only physical eyes I, but it is the acknowledgement of others. Here I see the homeless per right, not walking by them right, actually acknowledging and seeing and feeling something in connection with that person. Shall you run very similar thing, I'm the job in the defence of poetry, in which he said that without sympathy for that
machination. You can have
the theme that sympathy, economic, you cannot a morality, so you have to
be able to imagine what it's like to be in someone else's issues in order to be tomorrow toward the end. So, but it
is it better thing to me. You know that I want to emphasize here, and I think that's a great book to bring up is that it's done
The individual love, honest, not superimposed by anybody
done on the individual level, and the secret here is that, because we are a collection of individual that will create the invisible hand,
were good people as individuals. We are going to create good things, get near the invisible hand, will be spanking. Oscar enact strangling off right or giving us heroin right it it it will.
Give you it's. The internet is neither good nor bad.
Hu. We are in a better people,
use this for discovery and and
and learning and all others were you
4porn. I think I said the same thing I said in the book: it's it's! It's not so much the state of the art as it is the state of the world and
because the state of the art doesn't necessarily determine in there.
Technological determine us there and are very right now, there's a ton of them think they think,
Actually we have no control of technology at all. It's some most autonomously developing itself. In effect, parallel to our existence,
that we can't really change. It is going to there's no way around there's this kind of inevitability idea.
There's no way to stop this progress or whatever you call it of technology,
you saw myself motivating, autonomous and so forth. Now I don't buy it
and also I don't buy that it up that it has to be a pernicious
in its use. You shared your book with me. I
you're, not my book. I wanna hear something with you that long, so I asked you
You said you had not heard of it. Nobody has.
You are gonna, be one of the few people that I've ever share this with. That will go. Oh my gosh. Thank you. I felt perverts Rudyard Kipling he,
He saw world war. One come right heard all the arguments. He said this.
Insanity right, the world is going insane right and he he visited graveyards
for the rest of his life and serviced service, people's graves for the rest of his life. He wrote a poem after World WAR, one and its
been but erased, and he wrote it
as a warning.
Future generations listen, listen
This income, while the Gaza, the copy book headings copy book headings, are
things that were used in school where
it said you know, water will wet or God is good and it was in cursive and you would copy. I thank you. I saw everything at the top were true
I think truisms that european. Then current Hata emulate bright a grand,
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper protestations to the gods of the marketplace,
peering through Reverend fingers, I watched them flourish and fall and the gods of the copy book headings I notice outlast them all.
We were living in the trees when they met us.
They showed us each in turn that water,
would certainly wet us, as fire would certainly burn, but
we found them lacking in uplift vision and breadth of mind, so we left there
to teach the guerrillas while we followed the march of mankind
as we moved. We moved as the Spirit listed.
They never altered their pace. Being me.
The cloud nor wind borne like the gods of the marketplace, but they
is caught up with our progress in presently. Word would come that a tribe had been wiped off its ice fields or the lights had gone out in Rome, with the hopes that our world was is built on.
They were utterly out of touch after
they denied the moon was stilton. They denied she was even dutch
they denied that wishes were horses. They deny that pigs had wings, so we worship the gods of the market who promised
all these beautiful things
the Cambrian shores were forming. They promised us perpetual peace, they swore if we just gave them our weapons, the wars,
the tribes would cease, but
and we disarmed, they saw,
bus and delivered us bound to our foe and the gods of the copybook headings said: stick to the devil. You know
on the first feminine sandstones, we were promised
fuller life, which start
out by loving our neighbour and ended by love.
His wife till
all of our women had no more children and our men lost reason and faith, and the guy
the copy book heading said: the wages of sin is death
carboniferous epic, we were promised abundance for all by
being selected Peter to pay for collective Paul. But though,
he had plenty of money. There was
I think our money could buy and the gods of the.
People getting said
few do not work. You shall die there.
The gods of the market tumbled,
their smooth tongue, wizards, withdrew and the
parts of the meanest were humbled and begin.
To believe it were true that all is not
all that glitters and two and to do make for and the gods
the copy book headings. Limped up to explain it once more,
it will be in the future. It was
the birth of man there
before things certain, since social progress began, that the door
returns to his vomit in the south returns to her Meyer and a bird
fools bandaged finger goes well
a back to the fire
after all of this is accomplished and the brain
If new world begins, when all men are paid for existing
and no man must pay for his sins, as surely as water will weather
as surely as fire will burn the gods of the copy book headings with terror and slaughter return.
Why
Why is that one of the greatest incredible hats and read up incredible? I mean the for the problem of sailor prophecy enables credible, probably was doing, was riding down this,
what the hell you right, this is what they're going to do, and I I can t I think of this all
The time and after this is accomplished in the brave new world begins.
It's going to reset itself has truth. We
have no truth share
will restore itself, God help us, because this
there's gotta be. This is like to me it's the acting in this town. I mean this is
because otherwise we have nothing. But here
Here's the here's, the thing that makes me really sad about this, knowing this piece of work
that Rudyard Kipling has been utterly excised from all
Reading less and every everything

George Bernard Shaw, is held as a genius rang
