The boomer generation and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo. Americanism will be the credo! I'm sorry, Brittany and Betsy, but I just can't do it. You're an e-girl, you know the rule. You know the clip? You're not interested. You don't want to be a boomer, but you just can t do it, so you'll just have to do it anyway, right? This is the end of the world as we know it, and we're going to figure out how to deal with it. It's not going to be easy, but we'll figure it out together, and that's all that matters. I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do, tweet me and let me know what you think of it if you have any thoughts, opinions, suggestions, or anything else you'd like to add to the conversation! I'll be listening to the next episode! :) Timestamps: 1:00 - I've never heard of Bigfoot 4:30 - What do you know about Bigfoot? 6:00 What do I know about it? 7:30 8:40 - Who's that? 9:20 - What have you ever heard of it ? 10:40 11: What are you not interested? 12:00 Is it a disaster? 13:00 What s that you don t want to do? 14:20 15: What s your favorite thing? 16:10 17: What's that you ve you don't like? 17 - How do you want to know? 18:00 Do you want me to do more? 19:00 / 16:00/17:30/16:30 / 17:40/18: What would you like to know more about Bigfoot 21:10/19: What is your thoughts on Bigfoot 22:20 / 22:15/23: What kind of thing do you think I'm going to do next? 23:00 | What s 24:40 / 15:10 / 25:20/15:15 26:30 & 16:30 | What's your favorite part of Bigfoot ? 27:40 | What are my favorite thing about Bigfoot ?

00:35:27.000And, of course, we took about a three-day break here for the holidays, Christmas Eve, Christmas, the day after, so I can rest a little bit, so I can relax, enjoy.
00:35:37.000Enjoy the season, and it's been a long month like that.
00:35:40.000You know, I think we've missed probably a lot of shows this past month between my speech in Iowa, my appearance on the Milo Show in New York a few weeks ago, the Groyper Summit, and then the holidays.
00:35:52.000It's been a busy month, and so this Friday will conclude a long and busy month
00:37:04.000We are a mere four days away before the end of the decade, and we've got a great show for you tonight to cap off the end of the 2010s.
00:37:11.000We're going to be talking about the future here a little bit.
00:37:15.000We're going to be talking about some of the projections
00:37:18.000For the next decade, talking about what's going to happen with the economy, with demography, with technology, you know, what we can expect to see in the next 10 years.
00:37:28.000And so it should be a pretty interesting show, a little bit of a departure from what we usually do.
00:37:33.000I know usually the show is obviously about current events, things like that.
00:37:38.000Obviously, it's been a very eventful few months on the show with Groyper Wars and we just had the Leadership Summit last weekend, so it's a bit of a weird sort of a time on the show.
00:37:48.000I can assure you that once we come back in January, there'll be a bit of a return to normalcy.
00:37:54.000Probably back to the way things are, right?
00:37:55.000Back into a much more standard schedule, a much more standard routine, and also more standard subjects.
00:38:02.000But I do think it's worth talking about.
00:38:03.000We're on, you know, the eve of the final Friday, or it is, rather, the final Friday of the 2010s, and it's worth looking back on the last decade and also looking ahead to the next decade.
00:38:15.000So, I will clarify, though, I've been saying this is gonna be the last show of the decade, people must be wondering, but
00:38:44.000I'm sorry, January 6th, 2020 will be the return of the show.
00:38:48.000It'll be the first Monday of January, first Monday of the new year.
00:38:53.000And I know it's been a long month, a lot of absences on the show, but believe me, I need a little bit of a vacation here.
00:39:00.000You know, the holidays aren't exactly a vacation because, you know, you've got to see family and it's very busy and you've got to do shopping and...
00:39:07.000Well, I didn't have to do much shopping.
00:39:09.000I tell my mom, hey, is there anything you picked out for dad and my sister that I could just give you $25 and I could say I paid for it and so on.
00:39:19.000But you know, but it's busy for the holidays.
00:39:21.000So I got to take a little bit of a break.
00:39:25.000And you know, the reason I'm doing it is is merely because we're going to be gearing up in 2020 in a way that is unprecedented in the history of America first.
00:39:36.000I can't really spoil what is to come in 2020, but as you know 2020 is an election year.
00:39:42.000It's the culmination of the past really three years of the show.
00:39:45.000I think 2020 is really going to be a real turning point.
00:39:49.000No pun intended for America First, for me professionally.
00:39:53.000And so I can't really spoil, I'm not really at liberty to say what is to come, but I wouldn't be taking a break if it wasn't necessary.
00:40:00.000You know, the way I think about it is this.
00:40:03.000I get one week off now, it's gonna be like working like hell for the next year with the election, a lot of new things I'm doing, a lot of new projects, new opportunities, and then after a year, I've really been doing this show for like three years almost, without more than a week off at any given time.
00:40:21.000You know and then maybe in a year, year and a half, then maybe I'll take like a little bit more time off because it's really just been a marathon or a sprint really since the show began in February 2017.
00:40:32.000I've been doing the show every day and in the past couple of months it's gotten crazy unmanageable where I have to scale up
00:40:40.000Maybe that's a hint as to where the show is going.
00:40:42.000The workload for one man alone at this level is getting a little bit unmanageable, so I might have to scale up in 2020.
00:40:50.000I'll leave that to your imagination what that could possibly mean, but it's going to entail a lot.
00:40:55.000So, long story short, I'm going to be taking a break next week.
00:40:58.000This will be the last show of the 2020s.
00:41:00.000I'll be returning on January... will that be the 6th?
00:41:29.000I'm sighing a little bit there because, you know, a 10-hour stream, kind of a daunting task.
00:41:34.000But we're going to be going over all the music of the 2010s, games, movies.
00:41:39.000It's going to be a 2010s rewind stream, and we're going to be looking at all the different things that have been happening in the last 10 years.
00:41:46.000Schmooting, talking with friends, e-celebrities, groipers, playing games, listening to music.
00:42:16.000I'll be taking a break for a week And then I'll be coming back hitting the ground running some big things coming in January big things in February I mean, I'm just thinking about the next three or four months and it's very daunting and that's like four months You know who knows what the next year will bring
00:42:53.000I hope you had a good holiday with friends and family.
00:42:56.000Hope you didn't try to red pill the relatives.
00:43:00.000Like I said on Monday, you know, every holiday, well really like every Thanksgiving and Christmas that I've done on this show so far, I've been doing the show now, we've done three Christmases, three Thanksgivings, and without fail, invariably, every year when it's the holiday season, I get asked, how am I going to red pill my parents on Thanksgiving?
00:43:20.000How am I going to red pill my grandma?
00:43:22.000How am I going to red pill my uncles on Christmas?
00:44:54.000One night, Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout New Vegas.
00:44:57.000That was one Christmas, you know, so you go from... Hey, whoa, whoops.
00:45:01.000You go from Geonosis Arena, Star Wars playset, Modern Warfare 2, Fallout New Vegas...
00:45:09.000And you know it's like clothes but that but it's but it's great but i love the clothes but thanks don't want to be ungrateful you know it's of course i love um i love what i got so that's christmas merry christmas everybody but we're gonna dive in we're gonna dive into the 2020s it was very interesting i was doing some research for this show and more than usual because you know usually it's just the current events and i kind of have an idea of what's happening in the world and i'm keeping track of it on a day-to-day basis so i can kind of follow and
00:45:58.000The main source that I took is Bank of America and Merrill Lynch have done this exhaustive report about what the markets are going to expect in the 2020s.
00:46:09.000Really the best kind of indicators you get are from, unfortunately, the banks.
00:46:13.000Economists because they have the money on the line.
00:46:16.000And so world events and human events shape how people are investing.
00:46:21.000They shape investment attitudes and what they can expect about money and things like that.
00:46:25.000So that's why I think they're probably the best suited to make these kinds of predictions.
00:46:43.000Steve Pinker who is this, uh, he's one of these Ivy League scholars.
00:46:47.000I forget what school he's from, but he's, um, he's one of these like, uh, what do you call them?
00:46:53.000Uh, the intellectual dark web type people, and he's one of these ultra liberals, and you can guess that his report was about Millennium Development Goals from the United Nations.
00:47:04.000And progressivism, not like left progressivism, but this sort of idea from liberals, classical liberals, that society is bending forward towards, you know, less disease and less poverty and more democracy.
00:48:10.000So I'm not here to neg anybody for what they like, but I am just thinking like, who is thinking about the next 10 years?
00:48:17.000And instead of thinking about space and technology and demography, conflict, geopolitics, whatever, pop culture even, they're thinking, who's gonna make it to the Super Bowl in 2025?
00:48:31.000What are the teams that are gonna dominate the NBA in the 2020s?
00:48:50.000Maybe it's like, you know, teams are being built, and there's younger players, and I'm sure there's something to it, but I'm just, you know, these people that are just so meticulous about the science of sports.
00:49:01.000Well, here are the big trends in football.
00:49:04.000Oh, wow, you know, like we can't reach a little bit more than that.
00:49:07.000But anyway, we're gonna jump into the 2010s.
00:49:10.000Like I said, what I'm basing this show off of is Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.
00:49:17.000We don't love banks, but they do have to sort of forecast in the long term, like I said, so that the money people can kind of predict what's going to happen.
00:49:25.000They can have some degree of predictability here.
00:49:27.000And so we have 10 major trends that Bank of America and Merrill Lynch say will dominate the 2020s.
00:49:36.000For the 2020s and I'll read off the list and then I'll read off sort of a short blurb from each and there's there's definitely a conclusion here.
00:49:43.000Don't think that this is just sort of like a fun sort of like Yahoo News tier like fun overview of here's, you know, here's some fun little predictions for the 2020s.
00:49:54.000There's definitely a reason why we're going over this.
00:49:57.000I think it's very much pointed in a specific direction.
00:50:01.000It really gives a good idea of where we're all headed.
00:50:04.000As people that watch the show, as me that does the show, you know, I think maybe you'll start to understand what I'm getting at with some of these themes here.
00:50:12.000So I'll, like I said, I'll read off the list and then we'll go in and break them, break some of them down in a little bit more depth.
00:50:19.000So the trends that they say will dominate the 2020s are peak globalization, recession, quantitative failure, demographics, climate change, robotics and automation, the splinternet,
00:50:41.000And so I'll go by it and break them down, some of the more important ones.
00:50:44.000So peak globalization, this is their little blurb on this.
00:50:48.000It says the 1981 to 2016 era of unchecked flow of goods, people, and capital is coming to an end.
00:50:55.000Catalyzed by the widespread recognition that while globalization has meant lower consumer prices, it has also meant slower growth, precarious employment, and social disruption.
00:51:04.000I find it very interesting that they are principally concerned with economic measures firstly.
00:51:10.000You know, slower growth, precarious employment, and social disruption.
00:51:15.000Well, I think social disruption is sort of putting it mildly, right?
00:51:19.000It says countries will develop explicit national industrial policies.
00:51:24.000Maybe you can sort of see where this is heading.
00:51:26.000National industrial policies and boost spending on R&D to foster local innovation, protect nascent industries, and shield national champions from hostile foreign takeovers.
00:51:39.000So that's what they mean by peak globalization.
00:51:41.000Peak meaning it has reached its apex and then is on the way down.
00:51:44.000The globalization will either be scaled back or the pace of globalization will slow down dramatically.
00:51:51.000And to me this is the biggest and most obvious political trend that we've been seeing in the last 10 years.
00:51:57.000I think it's probably been percolating in the last 30 years really since globalization
00:52:02.000I don't want to spoil what I'm getting at here.
00:52:03.000I'm trying to build a picture of the 2020s.
00:52:21.000That people are getting tired of it, they're frustrated with it, that maybe the easy and cheap fruits of globalization are all gone and now we're sort of left with the costs.
00:52:30.000I think that's a very important theme politically for what we're going to see in the 2020s.
00:52:35.000And notice it says, from 81 to 2016, the era of unchecked flow of goods, people, and capital.
00:53:04.000You have to look at what is important.
00:53:06.000Society is always changing, but what are the ways that really matter based on, contextually, where we've been and where we're going in the future?
00:53:13.000Well, the main theme of the past 40 years, really, of American history and world history, contemporary history,
00:54:01.000So you've got the unchecked flow of people and you've also got capital which is international finance, investment, weird financial instruments.
00:54:08.000You know a lot of ways what we saw in the 2010s and what we'll see in the 2020s we saw foreshadowed in the 2008 recession.
00:54:16.000The idea that in 2008 the American economy collapsed because of what was a collateralized debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities, you know, because of this weird financial instrument in America, because of this weird sort of late-stage capitalism, weird investment type scheme, the whole world economy was brought down in on itself because of how interconnected everything was.
00:54:39.000I think that was sort of a harbinger of where the world is headed economically.
00:54:45.000Again, the consequences of mass migration, the consequences of unfettered free trade, of international finance, and we see that represented in the migration crises, the 2008 recession, the destruction of industries local in not just America but in other countries.
00:55:15.000It says, quote, the economic picture entering the next decade isn't exactly rosy.
00:55:20.000Stocks may be hovering around all time highs, but a record 90% of recipients in the Bank of America Global Fund Manager survey said the world's economy is late in the bloom cycle.
00:55:34.000It says, quote, we leave the 2010s stuck in an economic regime characterized by low growth and low inflation.
00:55:40.000Real GDP is averaged just 2% in the US, 1% in the EU and Japan, and halved from 12% to 6% in China as it rebalances towards a consumer rather than export-led economy.
00:55:53.000So, you know, all this talk about the economy, this is to me why when I hear Donald Trump and his pitch for 2020 is the economy,
00:56:03.000And I hear boomers and I hear other conservatives talking about the economy and having a pro-business environment and all this kind of stuff.
00:56:14.000Because when you look at the global trends, economically, culturally, what's happening with globalization, what we just talked about a moment ago, the long-term forecast is bad!
00:57:24.000You know, as I just read out from Bank of America, you've got 1% average in the EU and Japan, 2% average in the United States.
00:57:32.000In China, the new big player, which was growing at 20% or high teens in the 90s and early 2000s, has been halved in the past five years from
00:58:10.000So this is this kind of Ronald Reagan 2.0 idea that Donald Trump will make the economy prosperous and that'll be a bandage on everything else.
00:58:18.000Not something to count on, at least not in the next decade.
01:00:15.000I'll talk a little bit more about race and ethnicity
01:00:19.000Later on in the show, but we're talking about how the generational pyramid is going upside down and this brings severe economic challenges, you know, because obviously over 65 people can't really work.
01:00:32.000I mean, they can in some capacity, but they can't be doing things that are physically intensive.
01:00:36.000In some cases, they can't do things that are mentally intensive.
01:00:39.000In some cases, they can't go to work at all.
01:00:41.000They're stuck in their homes, whatever, if you're talking about people that are really up there in age, depending on who you're talking about.
01:00:48.000And the question is, how do you support a population, essentially, of dependents?
01:00:52.000People that are going to be 65 and retired, and they'll be living another 35 years in many cases.
01:00:59.000If life expectancy is 77, 78, then you're going to have a good amount of people that are living into their 80s, 90s, some of their 100s.
01:01:09.000Especially when the population pyramid is inverted.
01:01:12.000A hundred years ago, if life expectancy was rising, and it began to rise,
01:01:17.000It wasn't a big problem because you had a constant source and supply of new labor.
01:01:22.000And an expanding labor pool is more critical, is how it was changing dynamically, relationally how the generations were in terms of their size.
01:01:33.000So it wasn't so much important that you constantly had young people.
01:01:35.000You always had young people, but that relative to the old people, there were lots of young people, you know?
01:01:40.000So in order to keep that going, if you have a lot of young people 100 years ago, we're gonna have a lot of old people later on.
01:01:47.000So you need even more young people in the next generations to support that.
01:02:19.000The third one which I missed was quantitative failure.
01:02:22.000It says the era of 5,000 year low interest rates will come to an end within the next decade.
01:02:27.000It says in the coming years a policy mistake, inflation targeting modern monetary theory, and or the start of policy impotence
01:02:36.000Which for example might be central banks pushing on a string will likely cause a jump in interest rate volatility and the decade-long bullish combo of minimum rates and maximum profits and signal the big top in asset prices.
01:02:50.000The big top in asset prices which means that the economy like I said is headed for just a downward spiral for the next foreseeable so many decades.
01:02:59.000So we've looked at the first five trends, which are recession, quantitative failure, which means monetary failure, the failure of money, demographic change, which is going to be catastrophic, climate change,
01:03:16.000And then the fifth one is robotics and automation.
01:03:18.000You can probably see how that's going.
01:03:20.000So we look at the first five trends and we're looking at a decade in a world that's going to be probably getting worse and not better, right?
01:03:29.000We're talking about recession, quantitative failure, this catastrophic demographic change, climate change, you know, robotics and automation to a lesser extent.
01:03:37.000That one's a little bit more complicated.
01:03:39.000If four out of the five are sort of unambiguously
01:03:44.000I would say that robotics and automation, don't get me wrong, that's obviously concerning.
01:03:47.000That's obviously something that's going to cause disruption.
01:03:50.000You know, you're going to have technological unemployment, 70 million people out of work in the next 40 years, something like that.
01:03:57.000The numbers aren't fresh in my head, but
01:03:59.000It's going to cause unemployment, disruption, widespread changes to the economy, to our way of life.
01:04:04.000So all of these five are, at the bare minimum, disruptive.
01:04:08.000Four out of the five are unambiguously bad.
01:04:11.000I mean unambiguously concerning, you know, something that you're going to be anxious about.
01:04:16.000Are you getting an idea of where we're headed in the 2020s?
01:04:18.000Maybe we're seeing a little bit of a redux?
01:04:21.000Maybe it's hearkening back to the other 20s, right?
01:04:25.000We're seeing economic catastrophe, I think that much is obvious, and social disruption.
01:04:30.000I'm reading these five trends and that's what I see is basically economic catastrophe and end, a long-term end to good times.
01:04:38.000You know, I'm not talking about a recession, but we're talking about the culmination and end in a greater cycle to the good times of the last 200 years.
01:04:50.000Then we're going to see stagnation, decline, a receding of economic growth, something like that, receding of abundance, of gains made, of wealth, deterioration of wealth.
01:05:03.000We're going to see social disruption in the form of degenerations, in the form of tribal conflict, in the form of rapid changes to our way of life, technologically and otherwise.
01:05:13.000And then through climate change, we're going to see people getting uncomfortable.
01:06:05.000You know, so, all this is to say, you've got tremendous social disruption and economic catastrophe, and it's getting hotter, you know, and it's getting, and physically it's getting warmer, and physically people are becoming uncomfortable.
01:06:18.000What do you think the atmosphere, I'm not talking about the physical atmosphere, but I'm talking about the political climate of the country will be when people are poor, it's an infinite recession, the money is worth nothing,
01:07:38.000This one's a little bit more confusing.
01:07:41.000It says we believe the current trade war will transition towards a tech war in the 2020s which will see a new arms race between the U.S.
01:07:48.000and China to reach national superiority in technology over the long term vis-a-vis quantum computing, big data, 5G, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, robotics, and cyber security.
01:08:03.000It says Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent, which are I think Asian companies, will be primed to take advantage of the AI revolution at the expense of the so-called FAANG stocks, which is an acronym for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Alphabet, which is the parent of Google.
01:08:20.000So that's how you get the FAANG acronym.
01:08:22.000It says just over half the population is connected in China, but that has nearly tripled the number of internet users in the U.S.
01:08:29.000Suggesting China's annual mobile data traffic could grow 56% compared with 35% in the U.S.
01:08:36.000With favorable policies and government backing, China's technology companies are likely to be better placed to take advantage of these data trends, the firm said.
01:08:44.000Robotics and automation are another key theme.
01:08:49.000And so the splinter net, what that means is that basically technology and the internet in particular will diverge between the United States and China.
01:08:56.000That the United States will have its own internet, China will have its own internet, maybe other countries will have their own internets with their own protocols, their own rules, their own technology, their own backing obviously by governments and regulation by governments.
01:09:11.000Subsequently that will, there'll be tremendous variation within the particular technologies like I just said.
01:10:02.000I don't know what the internet is, but this is what Bank of America says.
01:10:06.000It says that the internet is splitting.
01:10:08.000You'll have sort of your own proprietary self-contained internets in different countries.
01:10:13.000Like I said, I believe to some extent, this is more or less true in some capacity that
01:10:18.000Obviously, if you go to China, some sites are restricted.
01:10:21.000If you go to, like, Iran, they don't let you go to Facebook or Twitter, right?
01:10:26.000So, to some extent, you do already have these domestic changes in the Internet rules and things like that, but you have your own self-contained Internet in China.
01:10:34.000On a technical level I can't I can't really explain it much better than that but you know that that's something that's sort of something interesting that's happening.
01:10:43.000That is good enough for our purposes on this show.
01:10:46.000Number eight is you've got moral capitalism.
01:10:50.000They say that capitalism, and I just have to laugh, they say the capitalism will go from profit maximizing to something that is more based on altruism or like millennium development goals
01:11:02.000The now instead of firms and the private sector being geared towards maximizing their profits, instead they'll be thinking about the environment and the well-being of their workers.
01:12:11.000So, I'm not holding my breath waiting for Bob Iger and all these other trans-dimensional vampires to suddenly turn around and say, what if we were just nice guys?
01:12:24.000What if we were just the good guys instead?
01:13:44.000What smart everything means and Boris Johnson actually gave a speech about this
01:13:49.000I think it was this year, like a month ago at the UN General Assembly.
01:13:53.000Everybody made fun of him for this, but Boris Johnson gave a speech about how your bed is going to know about your dreams and your refrigerator is going to know that you need more cheese before you open the refrigerator door.
01:14:05.000And people are watching the speech Boris Johnson speaking at the UN and thinking what is this guy talking about?
01:14:10.000You could see in the audience people are like laughing at him.
01:14:13.000People usually go up and give speeches about like, you know, Iran or like nuclear weapons or whatever, but he was right on the money.
01:14:22.000This talked about a lot in blockchain circles too, by the way, about the smart economy or smart technology, the idea that technology will be integrated into everything.
01:14:31.000Computers in particular will be integrated into every aspect of our lives.
01:14:37.000You know, now we think about there's technology and there's like non-technology, obviously, right?
01:14:42.000You've got your phone, you've got your computer, you know, you've got your devices that have computers in them and increasingly almost every electric device has computers in them.
01:14:52.000The transition will be that everything will have computers in them.
01:14:56.000You know, already our cars have computers in them.
01:14:58.000Our refrigerators have computers in them.
01:15:11.000Everything will all be connected and interfacing.
01:15:15.000In a very integrated sort of a way so that you know right now You've got like your phone in your computer, and it's like a pain in the ass to sync your iTunes library to your phone I see you still can't figure that out right kind of a boomer joke, but it's true You still can't you it's not as simple as plugging in the USB port and plugging your iPhone And then it's like I got to sync my phone is that gonna delete everything I have to create a backup whatever but they're saying that in the 2020s increasingly and on in the future all
01:15:44.000All the technologies will have computers in them.
01:15:46.000Everything will have computers in them.
01:15:48.000And not only will they all have computers, but then they'll all be communicating with each other on the blockchain, or in the cloud, or using the internet.
01:15:56.000They'll all be interfacing constantly, sharing information, sharing data, using artificial intelligence, using algorithms.
01:16:03.000You know, so right now in some sense you do have smart technologies that are permeating every aspect.
01:16:08.000Like I said already, you can see it in the thermostat, the car, your refrigerator in some sense, but increasingly they'll all then be communicating to create this totally new experience.
01:16:31.000Space travel has been around for the past 70 years, and what has really happened in the last 50 years?
01:16:50.000But it says Bank of America predicts that the space industry could be worth a trillion dollars by 2030 with aerospace and defense companies set to reap the rewards.
01:16:58.000It says new technology such as reusable rockets, innovative speedy private companies, miniaturization of electronics, and new services like internet from space, space tourism could revolutionize space like never before.
01:17:11.000That's another one where it's like, you know, we'll see.
01:17:14.000A lot of these are sort of like broadly, broadly forward-thinking.
01:17:44.000The broad strokes are basically correct, but what I see is more pressing are not so much having to do with technology or even globally, but what's happening in America and specifically on a political level.
01:17:55.000What I see happening is that liberalism, democracy, market capitalism are all going down.
01:18:02.000I think that's all going down in the 2020s.
01:18:05.000If it doesn't completely disappear, I don't think these things happen overnight, but if it doesn't completely disappear or the trend is reversed, I think it definitely will stop and begin to stall and stagnate.
01:18:17.000Criticisms of these systems will reach epic proportions like we haven't seen before.
01:18:23.000You know, I think this is most exemplified by China.
01:18:26.000China is the big story of the 21st century.
01:18:29.000I don't think in the way that everybody thinks it will be.
01:18:31.000You know, people are saying that China will overtake us in a big way and they'll be the new superpower and we'll all be speaking Chinese.
01:19:10.000So the history of the world is European history.
01:19:13.000And for the last 100 years, this is like another iteration of globalization.
01:19:18.000We've really always had globalization to some extent, but never before have we had it, like in the last 200 years in particular, with colonialism.
01:19:27.000I'm talking about like, you know, European, you know, these colonial races in Africa, Scramble for Africa, Asia, colonizing the Americas, things like this.
01:19:37.000I know it really started in like 1500, but I'm talking about the modern iteration of
01:19:42.000Mapping the whole world, colonizing every country, that kind of thing.
01:19:45.000The question has become, how do other countries match Europe?
01:19:51.000How do other countries achieve the level of wealth, development, civilization as Europe?
01:19:56.000That's really been the question of the last 100 to 200 years, with decolonization and these kinds of things.
01:20:02.000And there's been many answers about this.
01:20:05.000Sam Huntington wrote about a few of the options in Clash of Civilizations.
01:20:28.000And what he thought was that in order for Asian and third world countries, for lack of a better word, non-European countries, for them to match Western achievement, they had to become Western.
01:20:39.000In order for them to have Western standards of living and Western quality of life, they had to become Western.
01:20:44.000And so that's why you saw the implementation, for example, of Western dress, and secular government, and Western republicanism, and Western parliamentary type stuff.
01:20:54.000And that was the prevailing theory for a long time, and I think this was the prevailing ideology implicitly throughout the Cold War, was that if you want to become like the states, if you want to have wealth and everything, well you have to embrace free market capitalism, liberalism, democracy, you have to embrace the West.
01:21:13.000China is a country that has rapidly industrialized, rapidly become a 21st century country.
01:21:19.000You know, in a lot of ways it still is somewhat backwards, but they're competing with America in this century on the level of AI, robotics, technology, defense, weapons, things like that.
01:21:32.000And they did it without becoming Western.
01:21:34.000Without becoming Western in, you know, cosmetic ways, without embracing liberalism, without embracing democracy, and also without embracing free market capitalism.
01:21:44.000Here's a country that, in a very authoritarian, traditional way, guided the transition from a rural, agrarian, poor country to a 21st century country that can compete with the West, and perhaps in the future challenge the West, challenge America.
01:22:00.000And so the future to me based on that example and based on what we're seeing in Europe and in the Americas with globalization being rolled back is a return to tradition.
01:22:10.000You know, people are going to say, well...
01:22:12.000Is it necessary that we embrace globalization and all these other trends that come with it in order to become rich?
01:22:20.000Because if they're rejecting globalization, they're rejecting who were the globalizers.
01:22:34.000It was NATO, it was the United States, that after the Cold War pushed this ideology through the United Nations, if not explicitly, implicitly, the promotion of open markets, free trade, free elections, all this crap, and as people are rejecting globalism, globalization, they're realizing, hey, wait a second, globalization has plundered our country, it's turned us into debt slaves of the IMF,
01:22:59.000In America and in Europe realizing, hey, globalization's turned us into these third-world shitholes.
01:23:24.000We could see that there is certainly a trade-off for all these things.
01:23:28.000And you could look at models not just in China, but in Turkey, in Russia, in Hungary, in other countries, where you could see that an authoritarian government with a strong national character, not an ideological commitment to markets or liberalism, they're able to have actually, on the overall scale, if you look at the bigger picture, they're able to have a more healthy country.
01:23:49.000You know, I think Russia in a lot of ways
01:24:27.000You know, if we're talking about the 2020s, to me, the imminent trend is the rejection or the skepticism or criticism of these traditional...
01:25:07.000I think you'd be hard-pressed in like 2005 or 2009 to think that like social media would become as ubiquitous as it is, that smartphones would transform our way of life in as much as they have.
01:25:20.000You know, we look at something like Uber or all kinds of other apps which are not like physical improvements.
01:25:26.000It's not like the 20th century where you're inventing washing machines and planes and
01:25:31.000Trains and automobiles and things like that, but a lot of the software-based things, the cloud, how we relate to one another, has been revolutionized in the past 10 years.
01:25:40.000I don't think people could have predicted the qualitative ways in which technology changed our lives.
01:26:01.000In the 2020s, the ethical question will begin to arise.
01:26:04.000How free are we really in industrial technological society?
01:26:09.000Because, you know, one of the big things that's coming in the next decade is self-driving cars.
01:26:13.000And the question becomes, if you don't even drive your own car, are you really a free person?
01:26:18.000You know, if you, in some sense, can't even control your car, maybe it can be hacked by the government or hacked by somebody else.
01:26:24.000You know, to me, the automobile is like a symbol of American autonomy, freedom of movement, you know, that you can travel anywhere, anytime, it's self-contained.
01:26:34.000The automobile represents wealth, you know, so it's sort of like economic autonomy.
01:26:38.000It costs a little bit of money, but you have it and then you can go anywhere with it.
01:26:42.000What happens when technology is behind the wheel?
01:26:45.000You can still manually drive your car, but it does say something about this transition of human autonomy and human action to increasingly the role of technology.
01:27:46.000What is the role of these giant companies that have big data?
01:27:51.000It's a question on an individual level, but also on a larger scale.
01:27:55.000As technology becomes more integrated, that line will blur more.
01:27:58.000You know, now it's sort of invisible, the effect.
01:28:02.000Like, so what happens now is, if I say something and my microphone picks it up on my phone, right, or if I Google a certain thing, well, I'll get a recommended advertisement.
01:28:14.000Like, if I tell my parents, like, oh, I'm gonna go to McDonald's, I love McDonald's, and then I get a targeted advertisement on Twitter that says, buy McDonald's, right?
01:28:23.000Or if I'm on Amazon and I'm looking at Star Wars action figures, and then I see a 30-second trailer for Rise of Skywalker before I watch, you know, Plinkett's review of Star Wars 9, well, that's relatively benign.
01:28:36.000But in the future, they're talking about technology that's integrated into your brain.
01:28:39.000It's called neurotechnology, where you directly interface with the technology with your brain.
01:28:45.000Well, where do you draw the line then, if it's reading your thoughts?
01:28:48.000You know, Facebook is investing in technologies that will read your thoughts.
01:28:52.000So where do you draw the line at that point?
01:28:53.000And when technology is so integrated, it's in your fridge, it's in your car, it's in your clothes, your bed, your thermostat, your house, cameras everywhere, microphones everywhere, drones everywhere, surveillance at all times, you know, then how benign is it really?
01:29:29.000I read a report in the census about the 2020s from 2014.
01:29:35.000And it says immigration will contribute to America's changing demographic landscape, but the numbers show that the diversity explosion is going to happen regardless of what happens with immigration.
01:29:47.000Aging populations shrink, young populations grow.
01:29:51.000The age profile of the white population in the United States
01:29:55.000is similar to the aging and shrinking populations of Europe and Japan.
01:29:59.000The natural increase that will keep the country growing comes, for the most part, from the country's relatively youthful Hispanic populations.
01:30:07.000So the country in 2030, by the end of this decade, by the end of the 2020s, will be 55% white, something like 7% Asian, 13% black, and over 20% Hispanic.
01:30:20.000That will be the new profile of the country by the end of the 2020s, is nearly 50% white, 55% white by the end of the decade.
01:30:29.000And that's barring, you know, big immigration, that's barring a rapid increase in legal or illegal immigration.
01:30:35.000To me, I see the future as ethnic conflict.
01:31:57.000What has gone on for the past 300 years cannot continue.
01:32:01.000We're approaching the end of the road.
01:32:03.000And now it's like, it's always been unsustainable, but now it's going to start to hurt.
01:32:09.000You know, when things become unsustainable, you can keep the shred going for a little bit, but eventually the bottom gives out and, you know, you don't have what you think you have.
01:32:18.000All this wealth, for example, that we've created isn't there.
01:32:21.000How have we subsidized all this so-called wealth and abundance and access that we have?
01:32:26.000Well, it's through fiat money, fake money that was printed, debt, cheap credit.
01:32:34.000These numbers, the growth, it's made up.
01:32:36.000And so we can pretend that it's going on for a long time, but eventually the resources dry up, and eventually economic reality hits in, and eventually the wealth will begin to dissipate, and people will have less of it.
01:32:49.000And when people start to have less instead of more, well, the attitudes will change.
01:32:53.000The same is true of social disruption.
01:32:55.000You know, you could avoid it for so long.
01:34:33.000Because we are right about the way of the world and about the way of people.
01:34:37.000And so that because things are changing, because the effects will be bad, well naturally people will see these problems and they'll be looking for answers.
01:34:46.000They will feel these problems and this prosperity doctrine of Ronald Reagan will not have sufficient answers.
01:34:53.000It won't even be able to adequately describe the problems.
01:34:57.000You know, people will be looking at a society where they're constantly surveilled, they're questioning their individual autonomy, they're nihilistic, there's no meaning anymore, the family's destroyed, ethnic conflict is pervasive, social disruption is the norm, and they will be looking for something to ground themselves in, and they're not going to find it in, you know, low taxes, they're not going to find it in this
01:35:19.000Civic nationalist ideology that all we need to do is salute the flag, whatever, you know, stand up for the anthem, and we're all going to bleed red, white, and blue.
01:35:30.000It's not even going to adequately describe the problems.
01:35:33.000The problem is not going to be socialism.
01:35:35.000It's going to be a lot of these other pervasive things, systemic changes happening in the society.
01:35:39.000So, to me, I look at it the 2020s and I say it's going to be hard, it's going to be rough, but it's going to be an era of great opportunity.
01:36:13.000It was smartphones, it was social media, it was Barack Obama, identity politics, the rise of the LGBTQ agenda, it was the rise of, or rather, it was the recession, it was Middle Eastern wars.
01:36:27.000In many ways, the 2010s was a rough decade, and it produced Donald Trump.
01:36:32.000In the same way that the 2010s produced Donald Trump, the 2020s
01:36:39.000I don't know what it's going to produce, I don't know who it will produce, what that will look like, but that's another way of thinking about it.
01:36:44.000If the 2010s were a rough decade where we saw more globalism, you know, globalism entrenching itself further, taking advantage, and really transforming the society at a fundamental level socially, demographically, politically, and so on,
01:37:01.000If these changes carry on in the 2020s, perhaps the reaction will be commensurate to the change.
01:37:07.000So if things change more dramatically and in the same direction, what will come after Trump?
01:37:12.000That's what we have to be thinking about.
01:37:14.000So I think for the 2020s, if this is the last show of the 2010s, my prediction is that the 2020s will be the decade of America First.
01:37:21.000It will be the decade of populism, tribalism, nationalism, traditionalism.
01:37:52.000Environmental change that is only going to facilitate the social disruptions that I think are yet to come brought about by technology and demographic change in the 2020s.
01:38:15.000We're gonna dive into our Super Chats.
01:38:16.000We'll see what you guys are saying about all this, what you think about my predictions, or what you think about these Bank of America predictions.
01:38:24.000I think mine is basically a safe prediction.
01:39:16.000We and me, I think I've been very smart.
01:39:18.000We've been very smart about looking at the bigger picture and and sort of orienting ourselves based on that as opposed to the short run things.
01:40:59.000Avengers okay, I'm not gonna buy I'm not gonna buy the Funko pop figurines But I am gonna discreetly go to the Thursday 9 o'clock showing of the movie.
01:41:08.000It's not a big deal So in some in a way, I'm excited for you know new more realistic video games and VR and you know movies and things like that and
01:41:21.000I want to start a family in the 2020s.
01:41:23.000That's probably going to be the cards for me.
01:41:35.000I don't want to get too much into personal goals, don't want to spoil anything for what's to come in the immediate next year or next couple of months, but some big changes coming to the show, things like that.
01:42:18.000How about, you know, to me it's like so many things, we have so many problems that seem to me like they should have been solved a long time ago, but they just haven't.
01:42:28.000You know, like, scientists are working on making these weird, like, artificial materials, and they're not, like, working on solving everyday problems, like, like, uh, like, I don't want to get my wisdom teeth pulled out, you know, or like, I don't know, you know what I'm talking about?
01:42:42.000Like, a lot of, like, practical, everyday problems.
01:42:46.000Can't they make, like, a better alarm clock?
01:42:48.000Can't they figure out how to make food abundant without being poisonous?
01:43:06.000Mr. Corgi says grew out of my cringe daily wire phase when they sent me that left his tears tumbler And it said made in China on the bottom who would have ever guessed Benji would go cheap.
01:43:17.000Well, hey, let's take it easy I mean look that's the way it is.
01:45:41.000I Actually have no idea It's definitely cringe and I feel bad saying that because the probably the person's heart is in the right place maybe But it is it is kind of cringe It is a little weird gonna have to counter-signal and it very well could be a guy you never really know, right?
01:46:00.000Let's just put it that way, so... Yeah, Mrs. Nicholas J. Fwentz could very be some kind of a creepy advance, so I've never seen any proof to the contrary, but... Uh, yeah, it's definitely cringe.
01:46:11.000Mr. says, Hey Nick, all e-girls are hoes.
01:46:27.000You know, it's just so, like, when people constantly fall back on catchphrases and it's just so lame.
01:46:33.000You know, at least with a meme, memes go through a life cycle where it's funny, and then they're sort of, like, ironic, or they're ironically reappropriated.
01:46:42.000Like, for example, a meme like Epic Style.
01:47:03.000And so at some point, somebody created a family guy meme, because family guys like cringe, and they made an impact text meme where it says, when you own the... or no, I'm sorry, it was American Dad.
01:47:15.000And it was like, when you own the libs, awesome style.
01:47:18.000And so it was sort of like a multi-level meme, whereas ironically, it was ironically reappropriating impact text, American Dad, on some level, and also this Ben Shapiro conservative language.
01:52:27.000Carlos says why are Hispanic countries not Western because they're not white dude.
01:52:33.000It's that simple Western is synonymous with European Okay, all this stuff about Western civilization is a total like obfuscation about like European culture I was talking about this recently With some turning point person.
01:52:49.000They were like Western civilization is like free speech and gay marriage.
01:53:02.000The peak of Western civilization is the Sistine Chapel, and it's the Notre Dame, and it's things like that.
01:53:10.000It's Mozart, it's cathedrals, it's Rembrandt, it's fine art, but I know that that's what it's about.
01:53:21.000It's about great philosophy, it's about great artists.
01:53:24.000Western civilization is not about ideas, it's about a people.
01:53:31.000And you've had different people participate in it throughout history, some more than others, Italians certainly more than others, but that's what it's about.
01:53:39.000So speaking Western languages, yeah, but sure you could argue they're speaking Portuguese and Spanish, but it is different than Spanish in Spain and Portuguese in Portugal.
01:53:54.000You know, they're Catholic, but are they really practicing it in the same way that they're practicing it in Rome or in, you know, Spain or in France or any other country?
01:54:03.000But they are not Western in customs, mannerisms, anything like that.
01:54:07.000Well, they're Western in their language.
01:55:06.000You could, I don't know, maybe there's a bad analogy, I don't know anything about cars, but you could take the body of a Cadillac and put it on all the internal components of a
01:55:17.000Whatever, of a Prius, and it doesn't make it a Cadillac.
01:55:22.000In the same way that you can't take the people and put out, oh, they speak the language on some cosmetic level, and in some places they are legitimately Catholic, but in other places it's definitely more of a cultural pagan influence there.
01:55:35.000Oh, and now they're part of Western Civilization.

02:29:28.000Favorite Star Wars movie, Revenge of the Sith.
02:29:31.000Easily Revenge of the Sith, episode 3.
