Navigating the New World: Economic Forums, Digital Currencies, and the Fight for Freedom

Are you prepared for a world forever changed by the narratives of the World Economic Forum? Brace yourself, as we unpack their massive ambition to become gods in a world where they craft the rules. Through empathy and understanding, we've navigated our way to a sincere prayer for the country, the lost children, and the needy. The audacious move towards a centralized bank currency is not one to be dismissed lightly - we must stand firm in defense of our freedoms. 

The world is changing, and a crucial part of this change is the narrative being pushed by the World Economic Forum. Best believe, we're not just leaving you with the scary stuff, we also journey through solutions to this complex, rapidly evolving world. From collaborations, innovation, public policies to the roles businesses play - we're keeping you informed and prepped. And yes, we've got to talk about the dangerous path to elite control and government dependency. 

Hold on tight as we dive into the murky waters of digital currencies, public debt levels, and technology's potential to boost productivity. We also delve into the brilliant work of Professor Yuval Noah Harari on the future of humanity and the threats of data concentration. But it's not all gloom and doom, there's an excellent book recommendation waiting for you. It's a thrilling ride filled with in-depth analysis, compelling discussions, and a fierce call for vigilance and action. Are you ready?

Beautiful Coolnons. Hello everybody, good Saturday night here, 7 pm Central. It's that time. Saturday is when I do my podcast. Saturday night, every Saturday night. Welcome to the project a podcast. I'm your host, steve man, you can. You can find us on rumble, youtube, spotify, facebook, twitter, formerly known as X. If you'd like to donate, you can go to the website at wwwprojectapodcastcom. If you like the content, just give us a follow, give us a like and share with your friends. I greatly appreciate that.

Speaker 1: 1:45

So I'm gonna talk tonight about when we're headed. I'm gonna. I'm gonna talk about the great narrative and for you, those who don't know what the great narrative is, this probably get me banned. But the world economic form I'm not a clown. Schwab and all that are looking to create a One-world order. The same conspiracy theory it's out there. If you go to the WEF and See all the information on there, you can see it. I mean, I Was reading an article today where the elites want to become gods and it's like you can't become the almighty.

Speaker 1: 2:46

We got a lot of false prophets out there. Know your, know your friends, know your enemies, but not everybody's an enemy. Somebody is just probably Lost and they need guidance, and I think it's some of the things that we do and say that turn off a lot of people. I'm about peace and love, brother, you know. I know what my soul is. I'm not a. I'm not a violent guy Unless I have to be and I don't have to be a whole lot of the time. So I'm an easygoing guy Until it's time to dance.

Speaker 1: 3:47

But the people that are lost, we have to help them. We can't just turn our backs to them Because they disagree with them. We have to get our point of view, a point of view, across, and we don't have to be violent about it. We can do it with love and understanding and I think that's what separates Patriots From the other people, because the other people like violence, as you can see in the years, a couple of years past, and you don't have to travel that long back to figure out who those people are. So whenever you become a disagreement with someone, just calmly give out your point of view and if they don't take it, then just leave them. I mean, we can't help everybody. We can try and we can save as many people and try to wake them up, but the problem is, do they want to be woken up? Do they want to help.

Speaker 1: 5:02

I know a lot of people that haven't woke up and you know I tell them my feelings on stuff and they're like, oh, you're just a conspiracy theorist, it's not gonna happen. You know, I have one particular friend that you know that just doesn't see it and he relies on Stuff that the government has given him and he keeps taking the stuff that the government gave us in the past and I'm like, dude, you need to stop. And he's like it's helping me and I'm like, no, it's not. So when the government says, hey, man, we're here to help, you need to be scared. That was taught to me Long ago and my grandparents were like that.

Speaker 1: 5:57

They were in the flood. They were in the flood and they were offered food stamps, assistance from FEMA, and they turned down the food stamps. They're like we don't want that. Give that somebody that that really needs it. We don't need it Because they had family to rely on. They didn't want it, so they turned down the food stamps. But it still costs the money to get their house back in order and rebuild. Fema did not cover a lot of the costs.

Speaker 1: 6:31

So anyway, I know I'm just Getting off subject here, but the great narrative of oh, the world economic forum is pushing out where they want to be gods, that's, that's from them. Man, I mean you can go look it up. I mean Clash, why is? Is a piece of work and he is set to destroy this world and this country. There's a lot of people that doesn't, that don't like the United States because we have freedom. I mean everybody there's. There's countries that have freedom. We're not the only country that has freedom, but we have certain freedoms given, though. I mean we have freedoms given it to us by God in the Constitution, and we cannot let them go and we cannot let somebody take our freedoms from us. So tonight, I want everybody to get you know what I want to do right now. I want, I want to pray. Okay, can we pray real quick? Dear Lord, please help us save this country, please help us save these people in our country.

Speaker 1: 8:02

Give us the tools to fight the tyranny and the evil in this country. Help the children get home safely. Help us find the myth, find missing children that need our help. Protect us from evil. Protect us from the evil. Protect us from the corrupt. Protect us from the false prophets that whisper in our ears. Please cleanse this country of all the evil. Please help those family and Maui and need and look over them as they need help, and please look after the. Please help the elder elderly. Oh Lord, and the father, the son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

Speaker 1: 9:08

So we we're in an impasse here. A dire with this isn't just Somebody saying you know the world's gonna end in 1950. Everything we know could end with the central bank currency. We're gonna become like China, to where you cannot travel Unless you have a certain amount of points. You can't jaywalk, you have to help a neighbor, which that's that should be. That shouldn't be a problem for a lot of us. But you got to drive a certain car or you can't, you know, have a certain car, or it's all EV, all go, all green. You know. If you're not, you know you're cooking on a gas stove Well, there's ten. You know we're gonna lock your card up, you know, on a gas stove, you know. So no, we, we need to be diligent on what we're doing. We need to help as many people as we can and wake them up, because I tell you what 2024 is, I think is gonna be the tipping point, and I hope not, I, I hope not. I do not want to live through whatever's coming as far as anything bad. They're talking about having another lockdown starting, you know, december of 2023. That's just hearsay. I wanted, I want, to see more evidence of it, but they say we have a Canadian strain that's Hmm, might be or is in motion right now. See, they never stopped with the gain of function. This is all about the great narrative and you need, and you people need to wake up, and I think a lot of people are waking up more and more, more and more.

Speaker 1: 11:21

You know people, people ask me why don't you pre-record? Why do you? Why do you always do live shows? Because I do live shows, because I want you to see that I, I am a human, I make mistakes, and this is like my eighth episode, maybe, maybe ninth. I lost count, to be honest.

Speaker 1: 11:43

I just want to get on here and get them information. I don't. I don't want to be famous. I Don't have any sponsors. I have nothing to lose. I do all this myself. That's why I say if you want to donate, donate. It helps me out with the monthly subscriptions to what I have to pay for this stuff.

Speaker 1: 12:02

But I want the people to be informed. You know, I want to protect somebody else's child, like I would protect my own or my grandchild, and I think with enough of us a lot more of us saying the truth we're speaking the truth more people would wake up. I'm not saying anything that Everybody don't know already. I mean, you can look it on the world economic forum to see that I'm not BS in you. I Would not come on here to BS you do. I wouldn't be a C to make a dollar. I Wouldn't even I wouldn't sell my mother to make a dollar. God rest her soul. She's she's left the earth. But I'm just telling you I Don't come on here. I Come on here to try to save people, try to wake people up. So I don't.

Speaker 1: 13:05

I don't know how long I'll have on Facebook. I don't know how long I'll have on YouTube. I think my videos are being suppressed on both. I'm on X as well, which I don't get as much views as I. I do on rumble, combined and combined with all three of all my podcasts. So if you want to see me, I would go to rumble, because that's where you can Excuse me. I don't know how long they're gonna have me up and make my podcast Public, I think. I think it's being suppressed, and I'll tell you why. I think that is because I tried boosting my last episode about Holding our leaders accountable and responsible, and they told me that it had election interference in it, so I couldn't do it. So but go to the economic forum, look at the videos, read the articles. I'm telling you we are in great peril and I don't think we have very much long longer to Do, so we have to put up a fight.

Speaker 1: 14:50

I think it's right around the corner and I'm scared. I am. I'm scared for my children. I don't know what we're gonna do, but we will not comply by. If they run to the hills, I'll run to the hills, but I'm not. I'm not putting on another face diaper, I'm not getting anything Put in my body. I'm not doing it, no more. I've had enough. I've had enough of this, this stuff that They've put out to this world. I'm done, I Want to live and I want to live free.

Speaker 1: 15:32

So you know this, this narrative, this great narrative that they're, they're thinking about right now is you know, look, look what they. I mean I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I guess you can kind of say that I am, but look at what they're doing in Maui. What I mean? I've been hearing that Oprah's roof was painted blue because of the laser Would gop, would not burn it down, man, I hope that's not true. I hope we we're not in that time to where you know we're. We're being lied to and this is 1984, you know, big brother help you. Big brother said brush your teeth. Big brother said eat. No, we ain't doing that, bro. We're in the US of a and this is not 1984. This is 2023 and I heard 23 and I already lived through 1984. It was not like the movie and John Hurt and that is a scary thought.

Speaker 1: 16:43

Or well, ian times Coming our way, I'm not doing it, I'm not. I'm not. My kids ain't doing it, like I said. Well, I don't know what we'll do, but we're run for the hills or something. Well, we'll stay in our basement or bunker of Grower on food or whatever. I'm not doing it, man, I'm not. So let me look up something here real quick and and give you some insight on what. What I've been talking about it's a. It's the great narrative, the great reset. And you know, I mean, if you've been paying attention, a lot of people been talking about this. I know he's been talking about it, I know Dan Bongino has been talking about it. I mean I just, but you got to listen to this, this guy. I'm gonna share my screen. Okay, here we go, listen to this guy.

Speaker 3: 18:46

Hi everyone, my name is Johannes and welcome to this channel where I share my learnings and experiences and thoughts from my life and my career as a strategy consultant, and on this channel we talk about consulting business and mindset, and if you're new to this channel, then please make sure to subscribe to it or leave a thumb up. This will help you that you don't miss any new video. Here on this channel we will do a book summary of the book the Great Narrative, and a couple of weeks ago I think it was actually last week I published a video about a book called the Great Reset, and this was a book from the World Economic Forum, written by Klaus Schwab and Thierry Mallorid, and this book is actually written, or was written, when the COVID pandemic really really became big. It was in 2020 and the book talked about, you know, potential implications, especially on the macro level, so what impact COVID will have on the economy, on the society, technology, environment and so on. And this book, the Great Narrative, is, so to say, the follow up two years later. So it, you know, is linked to many ideas from the first book, from the Great Reset, but it's like an updated version because we have much more information now about how the COVID pandemic really turned out, and so this is a kind of follow up and it also tries, you know, to tell a story what the future might look like. And today I want to do a summary and talk about the main ideas and main concepts. As always, we start with some background information. So the book is called the Great Narrative for a Better Future, written by Klaus Schwab and Thierry Mallorid In both work for the World Economic Forum and was written in 2022. So this year actually acquired a new book. When it got out, I immediately bought it because I really really liked the first one, and at the end of this video I will do a rating so that you know if I really liked this book as much as I liked the first one.

Speaker 3: 21:02

The book is structured the following way so you have chapter one. This is the introduction. Here they talk about some risks and systematic connectivity. It sounds complicated, but at the end of today those are some macro trends that they see Just a summary that we'll talk about in a second.

Speaker 3: 21:21

Then you also talk about social media and fake news Very interesting and also the power of narratives. So here they explain a little bit what the book is all about why narratives are so important and what the purpose of the book actually is. Then chapter two is actually like the core, the heart of the book and there again, like in the first one, they go through really single macro categories like economics, environment, geopolitics, society and technology and talk about trends and implications they see, especially after COVID and for the next years. And then the third section and this is really my favorite section of the book and I really really like it because it's that's, you know, different to the first book that they wrote and the great narrative at a great research. It's a great advancement here because they actually talk, they propose solutions like, for example, collaboration, incorporation, imagination, innovation, morality and values, public policies, resilience, role of businesses and technology progress.

Speaker 1: 22:26

Again, we would I want to stop right there. I've seen the one morality with COVID being released. There's no morality in that. Gain a function is is not moral. We shouldn't even be messing with that, you know. I mean there is no morality in it. We didn't. Nothing good came out of COVID. We people died, people got sick, people lost their jobs because they refuse the the help. If you will, I'm not going to say it, but you know what I'm talking about. So you know I don't want to hear about morality from Clough Schwab because he don't have any.

Speaker 3: 23:35

We'll talk about that in a second, but those are the three chapters of the book. What I want to do now is that I go through each of those chapters and summarize and really highlight the main ideas of the book to give you the entire knowledge not the entire knowledge, but you know the main thesis of the book in a very compromised way. So they start with an introduction and this is where they talk, like about the major development that they see and obviously, similar to the book, the Great Reset, they see an increasing interdependence of global events. So this at the end means that you know areas or you know categories like technology, like environment, like economics become more and more connected. They also say that there is an increased velocity. So this means events happen faster and faster and it's also becoming more and more complex because you have so many aspects, so many events on a global level that impact each other.

Speaker 1: 24:42

Then they also talk what events? What global events? I mean other Great Reset. What are they talking about? Are they talking about wars? Are they talking about manmade calamities Like I don't know, maybe the beam that I keep hearing about conspiracy theory? You know, roofs playing, some of the houses painted blue and Maui. You know what are you talking about. What kind of global catastrophes could we have? This is the stuff that scares me.

Speaker 3: 25:36

They also talk about social media and fake news, and obviously what they see is an increasing level of fake news.

Speaker 1: 25:44

We've already been down that road and you all know what it is. Okay. So it's the big tech company suppressing us and telling us what we can and cannot post or can or cannot say. We've been down. Its censorship is what it is, you know they get the push their narrative. But if we go against it its conspiracy theory or its supremacy you know white supremacy or extremism they get the push their narrative and then bash the truth. So we've already been down the fake news rabbit hole. I'll let this continue.

Speaker 3: 26:34

This is no surprise. What I thought was really interesting was that they highlight that there is a lack of discussion in the web, because everyone you know, based on the algorithms that you have on social media, on the news pages, that you only get the information that you basically agree upon, and this means that there is a lack of discussion. Back then you had like, back then I mean my parents always tell me that you know, 20, 30, 40 years ago, you had like those newspapers where you had different opinions from different people and very controversial opinions, and this forced, you know, the society to think about critical ideas. Now you have access to all the knowledge, but the thing is that the algorithms are programmed in a way that you only get the knowledge that you are interested in and you have a lot of confirmation bias at the end. Also, you have access to readymade groups of people. This means that you have access to a very specific target group, especially, you know, if you talk about social media, targeting becomes very easy and this also helps, you know, to place messages very easily. And then, last but not least, they also talk about the power of narratives and they say that narratives, at the end, help to understand the situation, understand what lies ahead, so what the trends are and what needs to be done.

Speaker 3: 27:53

And what I did for the book was actually that they made over 50 interviews with global thinkers, mainly from think tanks, from universities, sometimes, you know, also from companies to you know, discuss ideas and to create this book with the thesis. Also, they provided a conceptual framework. This is what I just talked about. So the interdependence, velocity and complexity, and this is similar to the great narrative where they see, you know that this is kind of the headline, that is, above all, the macro trends that they see here.

Speaker 1: 28:34

The global development, with the increasingly high speed, also driven by inherent or enter and enter. Dependence meaning you're going to. It's not independence, it's interdependence, meaning you're going to be dependent on someone else or some government to give you your wage. That's how I'm looking at it, you know. So we're all going to be the same, unless you're an elite Trying to find the word here, an elite, crony, excuse me, assistant or something like that. Just like, if you've seen the gods of Egypt, you've seen the builder of Cyrus's tower, where he's getting all the gold and the glory while all the other people are being slaved out, and his usefulness is because he's a builder, you know, so he gets to live above everybody else. So because Cyrus, you know, gave him interdependence. So that's how I'm looking at that.

Speaker 3: 30:08

So, that being said, that was the introduction of the book, and now let's go into the different topics and they start again with economy, and what they say is that they first talk about growth and obviously, what we know now, what we didn't know back then when we talked about the great reset, is that we actually had a reshape recovery in the developed countries, so the OECD countries, but actually in the emerging countries that we didn't see any large recovery. Also, what they highlight again is that future growth will not be as fast or as promising as we had in the past years, so that the yeah, they often Future growth will be less than in previous previously years, I'm guessing in the previous years leading up to all this.

Speaker 1: 31:06

I mean, look at all the schools around the country with bus driver shortages. I don't know what's going on with that. We are surely affected in the Midwest here by that. I don't know if it's because people are doing more of the door dashing gig or Instagram or I'm sorry, instacart or any of that for that matter. I don't know where the workforce is right now and I see a lot of people driving out on the road and I'm like where are you going? Are you working? What are you doing? So our growth right now since COVID is slowly going up, but not fast enough. I mean, we still got people out of work and I don't know if it's because they're getting paid not to work or what's going on, what we're not being told and what's going on behind the scenes. But ever since COVID and things haven't been the same and you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: 32:16

We went to an Olive Garden a couple of weeks ago and there was hardly anybody in the restaurant and there was four of us going and it's going to be a half hour wait and there's open tables and it's like what do you mean? Well, we're short staffed. I'm like you know. I mean before you the parking lot would be packed and it'd be like it's an hour wait. Okay, understandable, because there's no table in there. But now there's empty tables and they're telling you it's a half hour wait. It's ridiculous. Where have all the people at? I see all these people in the grocery stores shopping as high as groceries are right now. If I had land, I probably be growing my own vegetables. I don't have to go to the store for meat and essentials. So, and now the meats getting sus. So anyway, let me let this gentleman continue.

Speaker 3: 33:26

We can talk about the post growth era and that they see for the next decades.

Speaker 3: 33:31

And what they also highlight and this actually is, you know, the preparation for the third book that they wrote stakeholder capitalism they say that GDP is an inadequate measure to measure success. So you cannot only measure like the output of a society. You also have to consider other factors as well in order to say if a country or a society is successful or not. What they also see is that there is a huge public debt level at the moment, so that it's, you know, increasing across all the countries over the past years. That it's really huge, and I saw a graphic once when I read the book Big Debt Cycles from Ray Dalio, and we are at a debt level that is similar to World War One. And in this book, big Debt Cycles, ray Dalio also talks about those. You know large cycles, and every time where the debt ratio is so large or so huge, then you know, significant global events can happen, and this is also something that that you know the World Economic Forum sees you. Then they also talk about the results.

Speaker 1: 34:52

I'm going to stop there because he didn't cover it. Did you see the post or, I'm sorry, the pre World War Three thing on there? Let me let me back it up a little bit. Abstance, absence of inflation played a key role. Now at post World War Three peak, what is that? That's just to even see that as scaring me, right? What is that? Is that a warning that we may be going into World War Three? Man? I hope not.

Speaker 1: 35:34

I mean, we have a threat right now with China and Russia and and the Ukraine. Right, you know, the more we metal in Ukraine, the more we're throwing Russia and China's arms, and you know what's the end game here. I think we need to leave Ukraine alone and let Russian Ukraine handle that and let it you know it's and let it be like it's none of our business. There's a reason why Putin's in there, and I think it has to do with all the corruption and stuff that was in Ukraine. I mean, if you really think about it, look, look at all the support that Joe Biden's given Ukraine since that barisma prosecuting attorney issue. You know where he had the prosecuting attorney fired because they were looking into barisma. I mean, I'm just saying I'm connecting dots here, folks. And now, all of a sudden, we're helping Ukraine. First it started out as like a humanitarian, but now we're starting to go deeper and deeper into that.

Speaker 1: 36:51

And I think enough's enough. I think we should just, you know, give them what we already give them and and cut fence. There you go. We gave you our support, now it's your turn to defend yourself. I mean, and if they can't do it, they can't do it. Then you know, russia is not going to go past the NATO borders. I don't think so, man. I don't think he wants to. I don't think he wants to dip into a World War three, just as much as we don't. Okay, you, we start getting into that. We're going to have hell in all over the world and nobody wants that. So, anyway, I'll let this gentleman continue.

Speaker 3: 37:37

We may hear some repeat where the debt ratio is so large also huge then you know, significant global events can happen, and this is also something that that you know the World Economic Forum, cc. Then they also talk about the results of global growth and high debt and what they see is that they see a bigger split between the developed countries and the emerging countries. They see, obviously you all know that now inflation does is mainly based on the money printing that we had in 2020. Then they also say, okay, in order to maintain or to increase productivity, we really need technology. So it's really really hard to do it otherwise. And because you know there won't be a growing demand in a certain for certain goods, I mean, obviously, in some niches, yes, there will be, but in the overall big picture, they don't assume that there will, you know, increase consumption, but they rather say that the productivity has to come through efficiency gains based on digitization and, very interestingly, and they also see that there will be a emergence of crypto.

Speaker 1: 38:51

So they will so the emergence of crypto. Okay, I've dabbled in crypto a little bit and it's okay. You know, I've made a little bit of money and I lost a lot of money just because I didn't know exactly what I was doing. But or when the cell, when Bitcoin just tanked. So rumor has it that the central bank wants to go to crypto, crypto, digital currency, because that way they could regulate what we spend, what, how much we spend, what we do and part of our ESG scores and all that good stuff. I want to point out, if you want to, if you want a great book, you need to read the great reset by Glenn Beck, and I'm not just promoting this. It's a good book. You all need to read it. If you want to get educated on this world economic forum stuff, you need that book that Glenn Beck wrote. I mean it. I mean it's, it's very insightful and it was scared the hell out of you, because I am scared right now after seeing all this and reading all this material. I'm scared, so let me stop sharing my screen on that. There we go. So I mean just by what he said, that should scare you and scare you a lot, and I'm not. I'm not coming on here and trying to scare you or fear monger or anything like that. That's the one thing, that the least thing I want to do. I want.

Speaker 1: 40:49

I want to get you guys educated the way I've been educating myself on this for the last two or three years, because it's scary and this is the been the plan all along. This is the plan of COVID that we're going to be in dire straits and the only way to get us out of there is the great reset one world order. I mean, where would that put us in the world and where would that put us in a country? We would have to, so everybody would have to be on a one world order board as far as country leaders. Would elections even be possible anymore? Or would that leader take control and then, as predecessor after that, would take control? And then what would happen after that?

Speaker 1: 41:39

This is scary times and I'm not making this up, folks. You need to educate yourselves and you need to be prepared. You know, you get. You can get food supplies, or you can grow your own vegetables and pickle them, or you know, because one day we're going to have a complete shutdown again and there won't be any food. I'm not scaring you. I'm just telling you the facts Because I think the the first one would be mild compared to the second one that's coming. And just to refresh your mind, joe Biden told us in a speech that a second pandemic is coming. You should have saw this coming, because here we are up upon another election and they're talking about a Canadian variant.

Speaker 1: 42:39

Come on, folks, you can't make this up. Excuse me, I mean it's scary and I know I don't mean to be going over and saying the same things over and over, but I'm trying to get my point across. It's scary. I'm not scared for myself. I'm scared for my kids, I'm scared for my grandbabies, I'm scared for my family, my nieces, my nephews. You know everybody that's connected to me on a personal level. So I mean this you can't just let it go by the wayside and just have your head in the sand and act like it ain't happening, because something is definitely happening. It's happening.

Speaker 1: 43:38

You know I was in denial. They like oh, it's just news. That's the math. But the more you connect to dots man, the more you find that something's going on and it's deep. So I'm not on here to try to sell you something. I'm not on here to try to make a buck. I'm on here to get my point across and tell you folks that you need to be prepared. You need to be prepared on what's coming. I mean it's, it's scary. I'm off, let's see here. Bear with me a minute. I'm looking something up here to with you guys. Hey, this guy here, I'm going to share this with you. You know, I'm not sure what, how to pronounce his name. I'm not even going to pretend I'm a, I'm a show. Here we go. We just, I'm just.

Speaker 3: 45:56

I'm with Professor Yuval Noah Harari.

Speaker 1: 46:07

I'm a back this up a little bit, that way you can here he is Ah, crud, darn it.

Speaker 2: 46:14

Everything is okay.

Speaker 1: 46:16

Here we go.

Speaker 2: 46:16

And can I have a bit more light on the audience so I can see the face and not just speak to a darkness? Thank you. So I want to talk to you today about the future of our species and really the future of life. We are one of the last generations, homo sapiens. Within a century or two, earth will be dominated. But our more different than we are different from the endotel or from chimpanzees, because in generations we will learn how to engineer bodies, brains and Now, this is from 2018.

Speaker 1: 47:07

Are they talking about engineering different? You know because of the coronavirus, or you know with with the vaccine, on how they're engineering other humans? Or is he talking about AI?

Speaker 2: 47:26

Mines. These will be the main products of the economy, of the 21st century economy not textiles and vehicles and weapons, but bodies and brains and minds. Now, how exactly will the future masters of the planet look like? This will be decided by the people who own the data, those who control the data control.

Speaker 1: 47:58

Those who control the data control the world. Listen to this clown.

Speaker 2: 48:02

The future not just of humanity, but the future of life itself, because today, data is the most important asset in the world. In ancient times, land was the most important asset, and if too much land became concentrated in too few hands, humanity split into aristocrats and commoners. Then, in the modern age, in the last two centuries, machinery replaced land as the most important asset, and if too many of the machines became concentrated in too few hands, humanity split into classes, into capitalists and proletariats. Now data is replacing machinery as the most important asset, and if too much of the data becomes concentrated in too few hands, humanity will split, not into classes, it will split into species, into different species. Now why is data so important? It's important because we've reached the point.

Speaker 1: 49:22

How can we split into different species? What is that? What is he talking about? How can we, as homo sapiens, split into different species? What's he talking about? I mean, is he talking about aliens coming? I mean, I don't know, I'm just guessing right. What's he talking about? How can we go from who we are and what is in our DNA to become in something else? And data is so important. You know, I don't know about you all, but I mean I still like the land. You know you can still grow your own stuff and whatnot, but I don't know what this clown's talking about.

Speaker 2: 50:15

And we can hack not just computers. We can hack human beings and other organisms.

Speaker 1: 50:24

There is a lot they can hack human beings and other organisms. Folks, come on, man, this is from 2018. We need to get our head out of sand and start listening to this stuff, because it's a warning. We're going to get to a point where we can't go past that point of no return. We could have stopped this by voting for our people and saying enough, enough, we can hack human beings. What the shit are you talking about, friend? So if you got the, you might be hackable, bro? Yeah, okay, champ. So you need to get your head out of the sand and get in the game and start paying attention to these guys, because we're going to wake up and you're going to be mowing your own grass or maybe your neighbor's grass and don't know why for that ESG score.

Speaker 2: 51:34

A lot of talk these days about hacking computers and email accounts and bank accounts and mobile phones, but actually we are gaining the ability to hack human beings. Now, what do you need in order to hack a human being? You need two things. You need a lot of computing power and you need a lot of data, especially biometric data. Not data about what I buy or where I go, but data about what is happening inside my body and inside my brain. Until today, nobody had the necessary computing power and the necessary data to hack humanity.

Speaker 2: 52:21

Even if the Soviet KGB or the Spanish inquisition followed you around everywhere 24 hours a day, watching everything you do, listening to everything you say, still they didn't have the computing power and the biological knowledge necessary to make sense of what was happening inside your body and brain and to understand how you feel and what you think and what you want. But this is now changing because of two simultaneous revolutions. On the one hand, advances in computer science, and especially the rise of machine learning and AI, are giving us the necessary computing power and, at the same time, advances in biology, and especially in brain science, are giving us the necessary understanding, biological understanding. You can really summarize biological research, charles Darwin, in three words Organisms are algorithms. This is the big insight of the modern life sciences.

Speaker 2: 53:36

With organisms, whether viruses or bananas or humans, they are really just biochemical algorithms and we are learning how to decipher these algorithms. Now, when the two revolutions merge, when the infotech revolution merges with the biotech revolution, what you get is the ability to hack human beings. And maybe the most important invention for the merger of infotech and biotech is the biometric sensor that translates biochemical processes in the body and the brain into electronic signals that a computer can store and analyze, and once you have enough such biometric information and enough computing power, you can create algorithms that know me better than I know myself, and humans really don't know themselves very well. This is why algorithms have a real chance of getting to know ourselves better. We don't really know ourselves.

Speaker 1: 54:51

To give an example, when I was 21,.

Speaker 2: 54:54

I finally realized that I was gay after living for several years in denial, and this is not exceptional. A lot of gay men live in denial for many years. They don't know something very important about themselves. Now imagine the situation in 10 or 20 years when an algorithm can tell any teenager exactly where he or she is on the gay straight spectrum, and even how malleable this position is. The algorithm tracks your eye movements, your blood pressure, your brain activity and tells you who you are.

Speaker 2: 55:32

Now maybe you personally wouldn't like to make use of such an algorithm, but maybe you find yourself in some boring birthday party of somebody from your class at school and one of your friends has this wonderful idea that I've just heard about this cool new algorithm that tells you your sexual orientation. And wouldn't it be very a lot of fun if everybody just takes turns testing themselves on this algorithm as everybody else is watching and commenting. What would you do? Would you just walk away? And even if you walk away, and even if you keep hiding from your classmate or from yourself, you will not be able to hide from Amazon and Alibaba and the secret police. As you surf the internet, as you watch videos or check your social feed. The algorithms will be monitoring your eye movements, your blood pressure, your brain activity, and they will know. They could tell Coca-Cola that if you want to sell this person some fuzzy sugary drink, you can't use the advertisement with the shirtless girl. Use the advertisement with the shirtless guy. You wouldn't even know that this was happening, but they will know and this information will be worth billions.

Speaker 2: 57:03

Once we have algorithms that can understand me better than I understand myself, they could predict my desires, manipulate my emotions and even take decisions on my behalf. And if we are not careful, the outcome might be the rise of digital dictatorships. In the 20th century, democracy generally outperformed dictatorship because democracy was better at processing data and making decisions. We are used to thinking about democracy and dictatorship in ethical or political terms, but actually these are two different methods to process information. Democracy processes information in a distributed way. It distributes the information and the power to make decisions between many institutions and individuals. Dictatorship, on the other hand, concentrates all information and power in one place. Now, given the technological conditions of the 20th century, distributed.

Speaker 1: 58:25

So I'm just going to stop it there. If you all want to watch it, go ahead and Google this world economic form 2018. But before I shut this down, I just want to leave this there a minute. So he's saying the information democracy, how they can pick. What does that mean? I mean, is it going to pick a leader for us? Ai is going to pick a leader, the algorithm is going to pick a leader from us and we're going to have some kind of digital AI leadership in our world. It's totally unconstitutional. We vote and we elect our leaders here in the United States. As shady as it might be sometimes, that's the real of it, and we have to be careful within this new AI age, especially with computing, voting by computer, because I feel that AI can manipulate the system. I'm just saying I think we should keep paper ballots for now and forever to make it all legit. So, anyway, I'm going to stop sharing this here. So, anyway, that's the gist of it.

Speaker 1: 1:00:02

Ladies and gentlemen, the world economic form, the great narrative. I can't express this enough. You need to be prepared. You need to help wake up your neighbor. I mean, this is where we're headed. This ain't about right or left. This is about our country. This is about our future. This is about our children's future. This is about our grandchildren's future and our great grandchildren's future.

Speaker 1: 1:00:39

Do you want them living in a one world order? I sure don't. I don't want to live under another social score. It's bad enough. We have a credit score, but I'm not living under an ESG score. I'll tell you that right now.

Speaker 1: 1:01:02

And that's what a lot of these big corporations are pushing right now is the ESG scores, and that's why they're doing that diversity, equity and inclusion to raise their ESG scores. They're not doing it to be, you know, they're doing it to be, to be able to do business with a high ESG score. So it has nothing to do with the person's choice of sexuality, person's choice of gender, if they want to be trans or not. This about ESG and diversity, equity, inclusion is all wrapped into that. So don't kid yourself saying that, oh, you know, this company cares about trans. No, they don't. They care about selling you a product. They care about making money. They care about their investors and their stakeholders, because if their stakeholders start selling, they're going to be in trouble because they're losing that investment. Okay, so get your head out of sand and think about all the decisions you make. Is it in the best interest of me? Is this company in the best interest, showing the best interest of me, or are they just playing me to make money? That's what you need to be thinking about.
