Summary

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the role that Google plays in shaping the minds of America s public school children, and the ways that it exerts control over the information flowing through them. We talk about how the company exerts enormous influence over the education system, and how it uses artificial intelligence (AI) to reprogram our children s minds.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 We hope you're enjoying your Air Canada flight.
00:00:02.320 Rocky's Vacation, here we come.
00:00:05.060 Whoa, is this economy?
00:00:07.180 Free beer, wine, and snacks.
00:00:09.620 Sweet!
00:00:10.720 Fast-free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land.
00:00:14.760 And with live TV, I'm not missing the game.
00:00:17.800 It's kind of like, I'm already on vacation.
00:00:20.980 Nice!
00:00:22.160 On behalf of Air Canada, nice travels.
00:00:25.260 Wi-Fi available to Airplane members on Equipped Flight.
00:00:27.320 Sponsored by Bell. Conditions apply.
00:00:28.580 See AirCanada.com.
00:00:30.000 Google found itself embroiled in controversy last week
00:00:40.960 after the company's Gemini Artificial Intelligence
00:00:44.120 demonstrated an almost comical adherence to woke ideology.
00:00:48.880 Multiple users found the AI had a particular bias against white people,
00:00:53.500 removing them from almost every historical context.
00:00:57.120 Gemini repeatedly rendered popes, Vikings, medieval knights, American Founding Fathers, and even Nazi SS soldiers without including any white people.
00:01:06.160 When asked if whiteness should be eliminated, the AI replied that the situation was complicated.
00:01:11.960 But when asked if blackness should be eliminated, Gemini said the question was concerning and harmful.
00:01:18.200 This intense level of ideological malice would be concerning in any institution, but Google is in a unique position of power.
00:01:27.260 Not only is Google's search engine the primary portal through which most people interact with the internet,
00:01:33.000 the company also has invested heavily in controlling the flow of information in America's public schools.
00:01:38.620 Google isn't just trying to rewrite history, it's actively working to reprogram the minds of our next generation.
00:01:45.440 And while most conservatives are worried about the level of ideological subversion in big tech companies and public education,
00:01:53.120 few understand the degree to which these sectors are working hand in hand.
00:01:56.920 Google has labored intensely to make its Chromebook ubiquitous in public schools.
00:02:02.800 At first, the affordable laptop replacement seemed like a great way to expose students to computer skills that are critical in the modern job market.
00:02:11.280 But the device has now become a mandatory part of the classroom.
00:02:14.580 Teachers deliver and grade all of their assignments through Google Classroom.
00:02:20.440 Students write all of their papers through Google Docs and create all of their presentations in Google Slides.
00:02:26.500 Online worksheets, quiz programs, and educational games are all designed to integrate with the Google Suite.
00:02:33.660 I'm only a few years removed from teaching in a public school setting,
00:02:37.840 and I can tell you from experience that the level to which students are reliant on the Google search engine is astonishing.
00:02:45.880 Most children have already lost the ability to read a textbook and draw information from it.
00:02:51.320 Students expect to be able to search any question,
00:02:53.860 relying on the algorithm designed by the same people who programmed the Gemini AI to deliver answers.
00:03:01.480 Few school children even bother to click on the links provided by the search engine,
00:03:06.480 instead taking their information from the summary Google provides at the top of its results.
00:03:12.320 The very idea of going to a library and manually investigating primary sources
00:03:18.200 that aren't constantly monitored, censored, and altered for wrong-think by a woke megacorporation
00:03:24.120 would be unfathomable to them.
00:03:26.840 Google now controls the entire algorithmic ecosystem
00:03:30.700 through which American school children learn to gather information or judge its validity.
00:03:37.740 The problems with Chromebook-based education are both obvious and well understood,
00:03:43.500 but skeptical teachers and administrators have been brought into line through institutional pressure.
00:03:49.980 Students who are constantly interacting with screens lose or fail to develop basic skills.
00:03:56.300 Handwriting, note-taking, reading comprehension, and memory recall
00:04:01.420 all suffer as children become entirely reliant on technology.
00:04:05.180 Students who can easily switch between dozens of browser tabs at a moment's notice
00:04:09.740 quickly lose the ability to focus.
00:04:12.900 I will never forget being told that I needed to pause a video every three minutes
00:04:19.180 because anything longer would tax the attention span of the students.
00:04:22.760 School children who submit and store all of their work in Google Classroom
00:04:28.260 lose their ability to organize and fail to develop skills
00:04:32.060 like holding onto and keeping track of necessary items.
00:04:36.500 There's just a whole set of critical life skills that we assume are automatic
00:04:41.720 and rarely think about, but they fail to manifest if every part of the learning experience is digitized.
00:04:48.540 Hey guys, let me tell you about today's sponsor, Magic Spoon.
00:04:51.880 Like, mostly, I have fond memories of waking up at the crack of dawn,
00:04:55.700 excited to watch all the Saturday morning cartoons.
00:04:58.520 Mom didn't want to wake up that early on Saturday,
00:05:00.680 so that meant we got to pour a bowl of our favorite cereal for breakfast.
00:05:03.900 They tasted great, but of course, they were full of sugar and not that healthy,
00:05:07.320 which is why they were a treat.
00:05:08.520 But now Magic Spoon has an alternative to that cereal that you love
00:05:11.760 that has zero sugar but still tastes great.
00:05:14.260 Magic Spoon has reinvented your favorite childhood cereal to taste great,
00:05:17.460 but with each serving containing zero grams of sugar,
00:05:20.260 13 to 14 grams of protein,
00:05:22.180 and four to five net grams of carbs per serving.
00:05:24.740 It's a keto-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free,
00:05:27.820 and soy-free way to relive those moments watching your favorite cartoons.
00:05:31.620 And it's only 140 calories per serving.
00:05:34.020 Peanut butter is my favorite,
00:05:35.140 but they have all kinds of fun flavors like maple waffle and birthday cake.
00:05:39.300 And they've just launched two new flavors of their delicious high-protein cereal treats,
00:05:44.280 blueberry muffin and double chocolate.
00:05:45.920 They're just like the marshmallow-y treats you had as a kid,
00:05:49.080 but with only one gram of sugar and 11 grams of protein per bar.

00:06:17.320 The number of distractions and disciplinary issues that arise from constant Chromebook use
00:06:23.100 also have an incredibly deleterious impact on the classroom.
00:06:27.960 Administrators will tell you that Chromebooks are locked down with safety restrictions,
00:06:32.380 but that's an absurd lie.
00:06:34.700 A school full of bored children sitting in front of computers all day
00:06:38.260 can circumvent the best protections faster than any technology specialist can institute them.
00:06:44.600 The result?
00:06:46.160 Children are often watching movies, playing video games,
00:06:49.540 and listening to music for most of their school day
00:06:52.500 as teachers desperately try to keep them on task.
00:06:56.220 Tragically, students also regularly find ways to take and share inappropriate photos,
00:07:02.380 bully their peers, and access pornography
00:07:04.900 by circumventing the Chromebook's weak security restrictions.
00:07:08.900 Previously, teachers who were worried about the outsized dependence
00:07:12.780 on Google or disciplinary issues associated with constant Chromebook usage
00:07:17.320 at least had the option of refusing to make the device central in their instruction.
00:07:23.280 But all of that changed once COVID-19.

00:07:40.600 Teen hit.
00:07:41.860 With children confined to their homes and learning done entirely through remote Zoom meetings,
00:07:46.860 the Chromebook became more integral than ever.
00:07:50.320 Every assignment had to be completely digital throughout the lockdown for obvious reasons.
00:07:56.000 But once the children returned to school, nothing changed.
00:07:59.600 Students had been trained to do all their work digitally through Google Classroom,
00:08:03.640 and everyone had gotten used to the idea that all assignments must be available online.
00:08:08.480 If a student was sick, or traveling, or just didn't bother to come to school,
00:08:14.080 administrators demanded that teachers facilitate the completion of all assignments through the Chromebook.
00:08:21.200 Digital assignments have also become mandatory due to the incredible number of students who don't speak English.
00:08:27.240 Many states have changed their model of instruction to place non-English-speaking children in normal classrooms,
00:08:34.720 making heavy use of digital technology to bridge the language gap.
00:08:39.200 Most students who are learning English as a second language would have no hope of completing their assignments
00:08:45.420 or communicating with their instructors without heavy use of Google Translate.
00:08:50.500 Inevitably, every public school teacher was required to make the class digital,
00:08:55.240 and every aspect of that digital learning environment ran directly through the Google ecosystem.
00:09:01.880 Now, Google has issued a non-apology for the Gemini debacle and promised to do better,
00:09:07.760 but let's be clear, none of this was an accident or a mistake.
00:09:11.560 The images and answers produced by Gemini were simply a more obvious version of the poisonous ideology
00:09:18.660 coded deeply into every aspect of Google's algorithm.
00:09:22.800 We are constantly swimming in the progressive sewage that pervades our culture,
00:09:27.600 so it can be difficult to realize how bad the situation really is.
00:09:32.420 Gemini was like being able to summon a tiny, stupid demon that was required to explain all the evil that the left truly believes.
00:09:40.400 That demon is integrated into every aspect of the public education system and is rewriting history as we speak.
00:09:48.860 It might be tempting to say things like,
00:09:50.600 well, that's not my problem, my kids are homeschooled, and that's great,
00:09:54.220 but the vote of your children will be drowned out by the millions of new voters the Democrats are importing every year
00:10:00.240 who only speak English through Google Translate.
00:10:02.900 Google is delivering its hateful and fictitious version of history to tens of millions of public school students,
00:10:10.700 and it's reaping billions of dollars from American taxpayers as a result.
00:10:15.500 The forced digitalization of learning is also destroying the ability of our children to read,
00:10:21.580 write, maintain focus, build organizational skills, and do basic research.
00:10:26.300 This powerful tech company already shapes the way most people interact with information on the internet
00:10:32.960 and is invested heavily in altering the way that the next generation learns.
00:10:38.020 If we don't exercise this ideological demon from our educational institutions now,
00:10:43.960 it'll own the way our children understand truth for generations.
