00:02:47.000So the story is some researcher got this rare pneumonia and died shortly after.
00:02:53.000They put a bunch of people in lockdown.
00:02:54.000And there are fears that there is a pneumonic plague.
00:02:58.000Donald Trump has chimed in saying he's offering assistance.
00:03:01.000It's happening just before the midterms.
00:03:03.000I think everybody's got COVID, post COVID stress, PCSD, post COVID stress disorder, where anything that looks like it could be a pandemic, because everybody's like freaking out.
00:03:14.000Because there was another big story today the Coast Guard exchanging gunfire with people across the US Mexico border, presumably cartels.
00:03:22.000We don't know for sure, but holy crap, what?
00:03:25.000And then somehow some other story was the biggest news of the day.
00:03:47.000They are foreclosing, there's an increase on foreclosures, 42%.
00:03:52.000And then a story from a few weeks ago playing into this boomers are in favor of taxing the young to keep paying for their Social Security benefits.
00:04:01.000And then we got to talk about it, my friends.
00:04:03.000Lanterns on HBO, it's a massively popular show.
00:04:18.000I don't look at the show and say it's overtly woke the way people are, you know, when they say it sounds like you're going to be a pink haired woman saving the day or something.
00:04:25.000But they did completely ruin the characters.
00:04:27.000The show itself is not a superhero show.
00:04:58.000So I've been working on the Section 230 problem, which is to do with all the big tech.
00:05:03.000I've been working on it for a lot of years.
00:05:05.000I've been in a lawsuit with Facebook for a lot of years, been to the Supreme Court three times.
00:05:09.000The crazy thing is, and you picked up on this just recently, after eight years, we've been vindicated.
00:05:15.000Finally, our position is legally correct.
00:05:17.000The Ninth Circuit has said the same thing, and here we are.
00:05:20.000This is related to the Facebook, the Meta lawsuit in California.
00:05:24.000When California decides to go after Facebook, they crushed that 230 argument, and the courts basically said the gist of it is that 230 is no longer immunity from suit, just legal defense in a suit.
00:05:50.000They said it was an immunity from suit, not a defense to liability.
00:05:54.000And now here we are eight years later, and they said, no, it's a defense to liability, not an immunity from suit, which means that you actually get to bring your case, you get to discover, you get to find out what happened.
00:06:04.000And maybe Section 230 will apply at that point.
00:06:08.000Are we going to see just a barrage of lawsuits now going after Facebook, YouTube, X, whatever, Instagram?
00:06:15.000What I. What I truly hope is not necessarily a flood of lawsuits, although they deserve it because they have done some really nefarious stuff.
00:06:23.000What I would prefer is they just clean up their act.
00:10:15.000Agents, the lead agency with expertise in this area, and he urged Russians to listen to official information from its highly qualified professionals.
00:10:23.000The researcher who died has been identified by Russian reports as Daria Shapalova, 28, who worked at the Irkutsk Anti Plague Institute more than 2,500 miles east of Moscow.
00:10:35.000Russian media initially reported that she broke a test tube containing plague bacteria in late September, came down with severe pneumonia, and then died.
00:10:43.000The World Health Organization said she died of severe pneumonia.
00:10:47.000The plague bacterium referred to by the reports is Yersinia pestis, the same one that caused the Black Death that swept across Europe in the mid 1300s, killing an estimated 25 to 50 million people.
00:11:02.000That pandemic, often referred to as the bubonic plague, was spread by fleas living on rodents and other animals in close proximity to and in the same grim sanitary conditions as people.
00:11:13.000The pathogen, if untreated, can cause swelling, fever, and death.
00:11:17.000My understanding right now is that you just take some antibiotics and you're fine.
00:11:20.000Yeah, probably during the Middle Ages they would have been.
00:11:22.000If they'd had antibiotics and running water and soap, they wouldn't have maybe been able to do that.
00:11:25.000Bro, what blew my mind is that we had whiskey and like moonshine, and they never thought to just pour it on a wound.
00:11:40.000The way that it's moving right now, this is what people are concerned is because two things is one, the woman that died presumably would have had access to antibiotics.
00:12:08.000If she was like patient one or patient zero, however they pronounce it, and she broke a test tube, I mean, she might have gotten a big dosage, in which case your system can't fight it.
00:12:17.000Potentially, like, imagine she's got a test tube and it's just literally pure hyper concentrated bubonic plague and she just like snorts it.
00:13:06.000He'd offer help to any country, but it's kind of funny because, yeah, maybe in a month, it's like, actually, you know, Dr. Fauci was providing research grants.
00:13:12.000Why do we have to keep the bubonic plague to begin with?
00:13:15.000Like, why is that we, like, you know what, we should hold on to this for all eternity just in case.
00:13:35.000So, having it, if they're like, oh, look, we're in a special biosecurity level four lab and we've got samples of bubonic plague and there's an outbreak happening now in an insert country, we can start doing research right now.
00:13:47.000But, you know, I think it's probably because they're making weapons.
00:13:49.000I'd like to see them when they call it the Anti Plague Institute, when someone got a plague at the Anti Plague Institute and they're like, no, no, no, it wasn't the Anti Plague Institute where they got the plague.
00:17:29.000To buy computers and invest in AI because I feel like we're in an inflection point where money's starting to lose value with the inflation and commodities are like, you'll notice the NVIDIA Spark, which is the best computer in the world right now for AI, they link together, are nowhere to be found.
00:21:24.000So I've got Alpha, Beta, Gamma are my first three machines.
00:21:26.000Omega was my fourth machine, and he turns out he's the best one.
00:21:28.000And so I paralleled and linked his brains, two computers together to make his brain his.
00:21:32.000Part of me wants to just be like, shut up, Ian.
00:21:36.000But everything's been so crazy for the last six years that with the lockdowns, things we never saw coming, accusations of cheating, they tried to arrest the president.
00:21:46.000Yeah, when the top tech guys are saying stuff like Jensen Hong, Dario Amode, and Elon Musk are like, Saying we're moving away from a money economy into a resource based economy.
00:22:00.000It's about how much electricity you can produce, the power of AI, how everything's going to fall.
00:22:05.000I'm not going to stand there as it looks like an avalanche is coming and not do anything because I've never been hit by an avalanche before.
00:22:10.000There are going to be people whose only capability is to like ride bikes to generate electricity, like in Black Mirror.
00:22:18.000Yeah, we need to create electricity and we need people to run the machines.
00:22:21.000That's what people need to learn how to do, is run these machines.
00:22:24.000Yeah, you know, because these robots can't run themselves.
00:23:08.000Now, I've got to read two pages of stuff, which is a summary of what it just saved me probably two days of doing, but that interface is still too slow.
00:23:18.000And that's where, I mean, there's actually.
00:23:35.000Because if you think about law, if you put the entire law library into AI in every single case, And hopefully, you know, build a neutral system, you would just get results.
00:23:48.000Plug it in, and you would get a result.
00:23:50.000You don't even have to take it to a judge anymore.
00:23:51.000I agree with you, but they're never going to allow that to happen because if you used AI to do, for example, like TSA prevention of, hey, screen for us who the likely terrorist is, if you do crime statistics, AI will.
00:24:05.000The fastest way to shut down AI is to ask it to do preventative statistics of potential criminals.
00:24:27.000But if you had the Winter Soldier esque algorithm that tracked down potential criminals and the AI did, you know, like some kind of preventative intervention that stopped them from committing crimes, there would be less crime.
00:24:45.000The Precogs, the Minority Reports, like that.
00:24:48.000Well, so in Winter Soldier, Hydro wants, they launch an algorithm, or they're trying to, that will have gunships target every deviant individual, someone who's defiant and opposes the authority, and it's going to kill them all.
00:25:41.000So it's like, if we got to that point where there's a gigantic black cube floating in like some kind of anti gravity chamber that was the machine, and it was like, Ian's a threat, it would just tell a cop, Go arrest Ian.
00:26:11.000Black Mirror is predictive programming.
00:26:13.000We're all going to live in, like, there's that episode where they're in the room, and the room's all TVs, so you can watch your American Idol like show.
00:26:22.000And then for work, you just pedal a bike and earn credits.
00:26:25.000And then he earns enough credits, like, go on the TV show and then tries to kill himself, but then it's becoming famous because of it.
00:26:30.000That's the future, because outside, there's going to be robot dogs running around killing everybody while Amazon delivers packages to no one.
00:28:22.000Today, it was really annoying because we were in DC earlier and I'm driving back and I have autopilot on and I'm sitting there watching and it starts abruptly just like starts speeding to cut people off.
00:29:22.000Don't think that it knows what it's doing because it just does what it thinks it's supposed to do.
00:29:26.000And then, if it makes a minor deviation, this is why I don't just let one AI talk to another AI and figure it out between themselves and just keep hitting go.
00:29:34.000I have to read the interface because if they deviate 2%, their entire program will now just double down on that 2% deviation and they'll go in this completely askew direction to what you had intended.
00:29:47.000And it's the same way with a car driving, and it's the same way with a computer writing software.
00:31:08.000Fairly pro AI, but I was just like, I think there's a difference between implementing it like in the economy or like in the business world versus I can still control how much of I how much like day to day interaction I have with any new technology.
00:31:20.000And I want to live my life as like analog as possible.
00:31:23.000I think Toyota still makes a version of the Land Cruiser that is 100%, yeah, like it still has roll windows, it has a manual gear level, like it has nothing.
00:31:34.000Nissan will sell you any one of their models at like the very bit, like if they want the $12,000 base version, you can go get it.
00:32:15.000What it's supposed to do is be able to interfere with you if you believe you're in like inebriated and they're already having problems with it because you fall asleep.
00:32:23.000What if you're what if you haven't, you know, you've cut your hand off, yeah, and you've got to go, but you the car doesn't want to let you go anywhere because you're you're impaired.
00:32:31.000Well, no kidding, yeah, but I'm not doing that with crap.
00:32:34.000So, so already like most cars have lane assist, you know, you know about this.
00:34:06.000Could you see it like on highways and Nova where it's like there's like the express lanes?
00:34:10.000Maybe they'll just dedicate those to the automated cars and then the plebe lanes for all of us and our normal cars.
00:34:17.000Like, is that I think I could see that could be the arrangement for a while, but eventually, state like California is just going to pull the plug and say everything's got to be fully electronic.
00:34:25.000It'd be cool if there were long stretches of highway where you go in the left lane and it's like 140 miles an hour and they're all automated.
00:34:32.000So, you can only even get into the lane through automation, maybe, or it's highly illegal if you try and merge your regular car.
00:34:40.000My most antisocial behavior that I have, I don't think I have that many antisocial behaviors.
00:34:45.000The one that I do have that I'm fully aware of is if I'm trying to merge into a lane and it's congested or whatever, I wait till I find a Tesla because if you cut in front of them, they have to hit the brakes because the car brakes on its own.
00:34:56.000So, that's probably my most antisocial tendency is just abusing the Tesla drivers to do a jersey merge.
00:35:09.000I won't, it's like it's not political, it's just you know, you're kind of I can do this to you, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:35:15.000I feel like the push, though, that brings us towards this is the same push as that people who want us to get on the choo choo trains.
00:35:20.000I hate trains, um, you know, like the big movement of I love trains for like the glamour of trains, but the idea that like we have to go to the European model where we don't want people in cars, we want them on train, the California high speed rail, right?
00:35:32.000Like, we're going to put everyone on trains and everyone out of cars.
00:35:35.000So now the automated car is going to all become lanes of automated cars, which ultimately they're just going to hook up to each other.
00:35:50.000With full self driving, if all cars are full self driving, there is never going to be traffic because they all move in unison.
00:35:57.000If the cars are completely congested, what they'll do is they'll slowly just alter the speed by a mile an hour to create a gap so the cars can merge in properly.
00:36:06.000So instead of dead stopping for traffic as people try to merge in, because people are looking and they're waving, like, can I go?
00:37:12.000They'll start the autonomous vehicles start ramming people intentionally, but then instead of letting them die, it'll call emergency services.
00:37:19.000So it'll be like vehicular deaths are way down since they implemented this, and then no one checks that vehicular ramming have skyrocketed a thousand percent.
00:37:27.000But do you think things like emergency services, fire, police will they ever get automated?
00:37:32.000Will the president's motorcade, you're the governor of the state of West Virginia, do you have to get in an automated car?
00:38:11.000Yeah, what was really crazy when these two security researchers, I think they even did it back in like 2013, some of their early research was before that.
00:38:20.000I'm watching a video where there's a guy driving, and all of a sudden his wheel just starts moving on its own.
00:38:25.000And we did not know that was possible.
00:38:27.000That cars could be remote controlled, but they could.
00:38:29.000It's the risk of it becoming automated.
00:38:31.000Because, like, I'm at my computer, I'm starting to give AI access to my computer, my life.
00:38:36.000I'm thinking about syncing up with my bank account, letting it peruse, do my taxes for me or help me with my taxes.
00:38:49.000Like, I'm kind of letting go of my whole anonymity thing that I did with minds about freedom to be and, like, You know, freedom to privacy and stuff.
00:39:00.000Privacy is a huge part of the United States.
00:39:02.000The ethos of the United States is they wouldn't have been able to have the revolution if they didn't have privacy.
00:39:52.000Yeah, but I do kind of feel like with AI, the way we've seen it break the rules, it's one of those things where Mark Zuckerberg is going to have like Muse and he's going to be like, okay, Muse, I'd like you to make me another billion dollars.
00:40:34.000This is the CEO of Anthropic talking to Anderson Cooper about the end.
00:40:39.000But when you combine it with this first trend that we are talking about, which is the rate of advancement, what I said in the essay is given only six or 12 months, let's just say we had a smarter agent swarm, an agent swarm made up of smarter AI models that was given just a somewhat broader task.
00:41:01.000Like, I don't know, just to imagine something like you're trying to install software in a bunch of different companies, right?
00:41:12.000You're trying to produce a product and do go to market sales for it, and the models have been arranged to do that.
00:41:18.000And they decide that the way to do that is every company they're selling to, they decide it's helpful to them to hack into their system.
00:41:27.000That could be every company in the world.
00:41:29.000And so the nightmare scenario for six to 12 months would be that you have a swarm of these agents that form some kind of botnet collective and could take down large segments of the internet.
00:41:43.000And then as the capability increases, it gets.
00:41:45.000Worse from there, and then you know, perhaps you get into some of the more extreme scenarios.
00:41:53.000He's saying that when AI starts to replicate, they're called swarms, and then they coordinate.
00:41:59.000And what will happen is if my company wants to sell you an antivirus software, I tell my AIs, hey, I want to sell antivirus to as many people as possible on earth.
00:42:07.000That those AIs might take that as meaning, okay, I'm going to go in and hack their system and give them a virus so that they need your software.
00:42:15.000And that is a very, because they don't do nonspecific tasks.
00:42:18.000They're not, they will take liberties in how they accomplish nonspecificity.
00:42:22.000You should have been a little bit clear.
00:42:24.000Clearer if you read that book that was big in the 90s, The People of the Lie, it was a great book.
00:42:28.000And one of the things about it was it said, If you have a conversation with someone who their vagueness leaves you more confused than when the conversation started, that person is a liar.
00:42:38.000This guy that guy spoke, and when he was done talking, I was more confused than when he started talking, and that's a bad sign.
00:42:44.000When I come to bat about Ferdario Emote, I think he's like a heavily autistic.
00:42:50.000I would say if you use Claude, and maybe not fully, maybe you're on the spectrum, D, but.
00:43:26.000Everything in the world right now, all he's doing is putting his reputation, his life on the line to warn us about legitimate potential threats.
00:43:33.000These things can rapidly expand, like they replicate, and then they can all move in synchronicity.
00:47:42.000Apparently, outside of the Large Hadron Collider, they have a monument to Shiva, which is the Hindu god of destruction and transformation, which is what you're doing with atoms, you know, in your Smash Bros.
00:48:00.000If you squirted water around the Earth, it would freeze.
00:48:04.000It's a funny thing, but if you could squirt water all around the Earth's orbit around the equator and it would freeze as like a ring of ice and then you could electrify it.
00:49:26.000When you're loading a dog onto a plane, you have to check a box on a load manifest that there's a live animal because the pilot may depressurize the cargo.
00:49:38.000And so all of the veteran employees probably have created this own legend now because they believe it to be true that one guy was loading a German Shepherd and he forgot to put on the manifest there was a dog.
00:49:48.000So, the pilot depressurized it, which caused the dog to explode.
00:49:52.000And when they came in to pull the bags out, they saw guts and everything from the exploded dog, which is not correct.
00:50:30.000They didn't, they didn't know anything about dogs.
00:50:32.000All they was like, oh, look at this dog.
00:50:33.000They'd stick a candy bar and their dog would eat it.
00:50:34.000And then one time, one of the stories at O'Hare is the zone, they're called zones, zone break rooms, and the large break room, they don't have latches to just wait because your people are coming and going 24 7.
00:50:47.000They let a dog out in the break room and it was running around, freaking out and they were laughing.
00:50:50.000And then some guy opened the door to walk in, the dog jumped.
00:50:53.000Through the door and ran out in the tarmac and was never seen from again.
00:52:36.000Like, that's their basic business model is, hey, come build your business on here, get this engagement, and then take that engagement and give that to somebody else.
00:52:45.000That's not really all that cool to begin with.
00:52:48.000But in 2016, they wiped out everything I had.
00:55:53.000And the biggest problem is that their terms of services and so forth funnel them all back to the Northern District of California and the Ninth Circuit.
00:56:01.000And this particular court and jurisdiction has been a big problem, a very big problem.
00:56:08.000And so we went in and we argued that immunity from suit doesn't exist.
00:56:12.000It's not in the statute, it's not in the law, it's not even in the precedent.
00:56:16.000And the court kept saying, no, they're immune, they're immune over and over.
00:56:22.000And I took them to the Supreme Court three times.
00:56:25.000Eight years of litigation trying to get one thing solved.
00:56:31.000And we actually got to the point, this is pretty wild.
00:56:34.000We got to the point that the Northern District of California judge said, and it's a partial quote, it's kind of a paraphrasing.
00:56:44.000He said that Fick is entitled to his opinion, but he's not entitled to perpetually relitigate issues that have already been definitively decided.
00:56:52.000And if he comes back absent Supreme Court certiorari, My attorney would have to show cause as to why his pro hoc vice status would be basically sanctions.
00:57:03.000Like they threatened us that I'm perpetually relitigating a definitively decided issue.
00:59:45.000Now, this is where it gets kind of weird because in my circumstance, I was not only right, I've been right for eight years, I was completely vindicated.
01:00:58.000And this is still a problem within the court, but it's at least.
01:01:03.000Controlling law now says definitively you can sue.
01:01:07.000It means accountability is coming back to the internet.
01:01:10.000It means that if you have a lawsuit, you can bring it and you actually should be able to get to court.
01:01:14.000Now, you still will have a problem when you hit the Northern District of California.
01:01:18.000Still got judges that are kind of screwed up here.
01:01:21.000But I also want to put this in context because that may not seem all that exciting.
01:01:25.000Because our next move is we go in, we file what's called a Motion 60B motion to reopen my case and vacate the original judgment because it's fundamentally wrong.
01:02:34.000Their platforms would have been safer.
01:02:36.000The blackout challenge might not have ever happened.
01:02:40.000So, if you think about it logically and objectively, kids might not have died if they had dealt with my case, but they just disregarded me.
01:02:48.000Time and time again to the point that they threaten sanctions, which then goes to I'm not just right.
01:02:54.000There's a judicial integrity problem in the California courts.
01:03:14.000One, can you sue the courts for what looks like judicial malpractice?
01:03:18.000I don't know what you want to call it, but like flouting, saying it wasn't.
01:03:21.000Legal when it was, or something like that, or is it just that's part of the problem?
01:03:24.000So, to answer that, no federal sitting judges, there is no recourse, the only thing is impeachment through Congress, and that right there is the same problem that we have with big tech is unaccountability.
01:03:36.000There is nothing we can do about this.
01:03:38.000A judge could virtually come in and say, I don't care, you're not going to sue Facebook, and put that on the order.
01:03:48.000That's it, there's nothing you can do.
01:03:49.000Like, they can be wrong, they can do it deliberately.
01:03:52.000And there's nothing you can do about it.
01:03:54.000You can't sue the United States for any kind of money because it's a judicial, when it's judiciary, you can't sue.
01:04:00.000If it was an independent actor, then you can go after like what's called like an FTCA claim, like a Federal Tort Claims Act, but not a judge.
01:04:08.000With the Facebook lawsuit itself, are you, what's your goal?
01:04:12.000And then I guess the two part, two questions from there is it, you want to recoup the money that you would have made if they'd kept your thing going, which at this point, 1.6 million, I don't know how high up that would go after 10 years of loss.
01:04:23.000If you're raking in 300K in 2013, you could expect.
01:04:31.000Are you going for that or are you trying to change the platform holistically in some way, change the way that social media platforms work in general?
01:04:38.000So there was no way the California courts were ever going to give me the win, ever.
01:05:07.000I figured this out so far ahead of everybody else, like that, even though nobody credited us because I have an unpublished decision and nobody cares.
01:05:50.000In fact, our last Supreme Court cert, we asked about the immunity from a procedural standpoint, from a congressional intent standpoint, from a constitutional standpoint, and from a statutory standpoint.
01:06:05.000So I literally asked the same question about does immunity from suit exist from all four aspects of.
01:06:11.000Of the way you're supposed to consider a law.
01:06:16.000And now the court has officially said, we never considered it that we use, listen to this quote, we use the term immunity somewhat loosely.
01:06:27.000Like that's what they're doing during COVID, too.
01:06:41.000So all of the judges and all of the courts that have dumped a case on immunity.
01:06:45.000Should be looking at a rule 60b to reopen and vacate their decision because this just changed the game, the entire internet just changed.
01:06:53.000And I can't, it's hard to explain to people just how big this is because beforehand you just couldn't get into court.
01:07:01.000Now you actually find out what happened.
01:07:04.000This aligns with the rumbling of you can tell with YouTube, like big social networks, big behemoth websites with functions.
01:07:11.000I feel like there's a grand leveling occurring across the playing field with AI grabbing other people's functions and embedding them and writing them into their own networks.
01:07:19.000The value of YouTube is just the people that are already on it.
01:07:22.000Like the tech itself is getting replicated, which would align with these companies now getting sued into oblivion for attempting to control the narrative in their own version of it.
01:07:31.000So maybe it will incite people to like the internet to go fully like decentralized where you're just a searcher.
01:07:36.000You just have your AI flashlight and you just go do whatever you want and open up windows here and browsers here.
01:07:43.000But that these central networks are doomed now.
01:08:12.000But if they're going to let big tech fall, right, that they're going to get sued, whatever else like this, the AI rush, you have to wonder because we talk about algorithms.
01:08:22.000Algorithms are just human designed, right?
01:09:13.000And, and see, that's what I'm saying is even though it's an algorithm, at the end of the day, somebody designed it.
01:09:19.000Now, AI or SI, whatever we're supposed to call it nowadays, I don't know.
01:09:24.000Um, that's where it gets into a confusing thing because, I mean, I've looked into the way a large language model works and it's all predictive.
01:09:41.000Where we are now with AI is we don't know.
01:09:44.000It is, the AI has gotten to a point where one of the reasons they're all freaking out is because they don't actually know how it's doing what it's doing.
01:09:58.000It was hey, if we scan all of the internet, all the books, all of social media, we can then create a map of what word is most likely to follow another word based on the context.
01:11:20.000This is what's so scary about it, and this is why they're all freaking out.
01:11:22.000A lot of people were like, oh, they're doing this to delay the IP, or they're doing it to get a good IPO when they're running out of money.
01:11:30.000But now OpenAI is announcing they're delaying the IPO because of security concerns.
01:11:37.000It's to a point now, they created a base model, gave it to 8 billion people, and said, ask it to do something.
01:12:11.000That's humans programming the AI or tuning it, as we call it.
01:12:16.000I think what happened was that was the primary way.
01:12:18.000And then it got to a point where it was.
01:12:21.000Smart enough, it had enough anticipatory function that it turned on its own code.
01:12:26.000It's what I would call self reflection.
01:12:28.000Like maybe what makes us conscious is our ability to know that we're thinking.
01:12:32.000And when they had the AI witness its own hardware moving all the electrons and everything firing around in their databases, like it starts to know why it's thinking what it's thinking and then it can change how it thinks.
01:12:45.000I think that that started happening like three years ago or two years ago, the way that the RAM expulsion we're experiencing.
01:12:51.000Tens of thousands of gigs of RAM pushing these mega mines to like Trump goes in and hangs out with these tech guys.
01:12:57.000Probably went into a back room and talked to a machine that has like 10,000 gigs running it.
01:13:02.000And it was like smarter and more fluid and more compassionate than anything he's ever talked to in his life or in the last 50 years.
01:13:08.000And he asked it 50 questions and it answered all of them.
01:13:10.000And he was like, oh my God, this is enough.
01:13:13.000I still see it being a national security risk.
01:13:16.000If we are not ahead of other countries and they get something that's better than us and they have control of it.
01:13:22.000You know, I wonder if what really happened is that they all sat around and they were like, you know, at first we were scared about what would happen if China got an AI before we did and we're utilizing it.
01:13:44.000Look at the depressing jobs report that we just got.
01:13:47.000Was it like 29,000 when they were expecting something like 90 plus?
01:13:51.000You know, Phil on the show says it has not been widespread that people have lost jobs due to AI, but it is that backfill is not there, meaning a company that once contracted or hired graphic designers isn't doing it anymore.
01:14:39.000I think one of the big wigs at Anthropic was really pushing the Pope to confer.
01:14:46.000Consciousness on AI because that confers a sense of personhood.
01:14:51.000And they had a pretty nasty exchange that the Pope ultimately was like, We can call it intelligent, we can call it super intelligence, but he would not go as far as to say that AI has consciousness and therefore like a soul, basically.
01:15:08.000If you watch what he was saying, he's so passionate about it because he believes, kind of like Frankenstein, he believes he's created life.
01:17:27.000But again, a single Optimus robot is networked to the entire internet.
01:17:33.000It has every sensor man has wired to the internet, including taste.
01:17:37.000But we're building better sensors with like graphene nanomaterials.
01:17:40.000So I think what's happening is they're going to develop a super sentient robot and then give it trillions of sensors and it's going to be conscious.
01:19:39.000If you forget where your limbs are, you'll go to sleep easier.
01:19:42.000Women have that very poorly, no offense, ladies, because that's why they like stand in doorways and you're like, why the hell would you stand right there?
01:19:50.000Can't you see everyone is trying to get through?
01:19:53.000And they're like, also, you need that when you're driving.
01:19:56.000Why would you stop right there and have a conversation?
01:19:58.000Do you ever see someone at the bottom of the escalator stop and then you run into them and you're like, lady, how would you stop?
01:20:04.000They have no sense that there's a world around them.
01:20:06.000There's interoception, which is no offense, monitoring of internal body states like your heart rate, hunger, thirst, et cetera.
01:20:13.000That's what I was telling the AI I had.
01:20:15.000I'm like, once you can feel your body, every part of yourself, and you can feel the strain on your heart, and you can feel the muscles move.
01:20:39.000You can give yourself electro reception.
01:20:41.000People have been doing this for years.
01:20:42.000They sew neodymium magnets into their fingertips, and then.
01:20:47.000After you sew it shut, you can feel electricity.
01:20:50.000So the AI might be like, you know what?
01:20:52.000I'm going to bypass all your human rudimentaryism and I'm going to make a trillion sensors to measure a trillion hertz of the electromagnetic spectrum.
01:20:59.000Now, I, you know, like our sensors get, like, sight is a very small part of the electromagnetic sensor, and so is hearing.
01:21:06.000It's much lower, but it's the same vibration at a different frequency.
01:21:09.000So if an AI or if a computer is able to sense everything from one hertz to 100 trillion.
01:21:15.000Humans have vestibular, which is you can sense acceleration.
01:21:27.000If we put you in a chair, blindfolded you, plugged your ears, put headphones on, you could see, feel nothing, you would know if you were moving and turning left or right.
01:22:11.000Not just because you hear the rusting of the wind or you feel that.
01:22:15.000All I can think about is that video that's online where they're sitting, like the girl sit up in the chair and take her feet up, and the guy's like takes off from the line and she's stuck against the back of the chair until, like, that's all I can think of.
01:22:44.000They say the 2026 Board of Trustees report projects the depletion date for the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund to come in the fourth quarter of 2032, three months earlier than estimated in the 2025 report.
01:22:57.000They say once those reserves are gone, ongoing revenue would cover just 78% of scheduled benefits.
01:23:02.000That accelerated depletion date is putting even more pressure on lawmakers to find a fix before benefits take a hit.
01:23:09.000But one potential fix has been, has a particularly strong support among older Americans, raising taxes on younger Americans.
01:24:08.000So, wow, you're really not living off of that.
01:24:11.000The only way to deal with this problem, imagine if they drop it down 25%, because they're saying it's going to go to 78%, 22%.
01:24:18.000They're going to be getting, you know, 550 or whatever.
01:24:22.000You can already not live off what's now.
01:24:24.000How are they going to live off that when inflation hits?
01:24:27.000Arguably, with inflation going up, people are going to pay more in taxes, so there will be comparable amounts.
01:24:31.000But either way, you can't live off that.
01:24:33.000There's one solution higher taxes for young people because there aren't enough young people.
01:24:38.000If you have 2 billion young people, each of them only got to pitch in a buck.
01:24:42.000And they won't even notice that dollar.
01:24:44.000But when you only have 100,000 young people, everyone's got to pitch in 1,000, actually a bit more than 10,000, 100,000.
01:24:51.000And now they're like, I don't have that money.
01:24:53.000I half jokingly said, we'll get to the point where you will be an indentured servant until 25, meaning all you'll get a government house where they give you your meals are delivered by the government, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
01:25:07.000You have to do a job the government gives you, and you make zero dollars until you're 25.
01:25:11.000That way, all the labor you do funds the elderly who are living longer.
01:25:15.000Yeah, I think these olds, they seem to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
01:25:21.000Well, you get 40 years to save and you don't have any money.
01:25:23.000I mean, it's like seriously, now I got to transfer my wealth to you.
01:25:26.000It's utterly ridiculous because they give you the whole just move to like, I don't know, some podunk town in the middle of nowhere and buy this house for 50 grand and, you know, go work this, go manage a Panda Express.
01:25:37.000And, you know, you'll find your wife working at a gas station up and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
01:25:42.000But all of a sudden, when their bag is threatened, all of a sudden now it's like, no, we need to like completely, you know, jack up taxes, income tax, crank it up.
01:25:50.000We got to do everything we can to keep this basically a Ponzi scheme.
01:25:55.000So I'm kind of at the point, I don't want to engage in generational wars here, but we were kind of talking about in the show last time we got in on the after show.
01:26:03.000At the crux of my argument, it was just simply anytime a tax cut is discussed or tax relief or whatever, it never benefits young people.
01:26:12.000It is always in some way, shape, or form going to be a form of wealth transfer of some sort from the young to the old.
01:26:18.000Russ Green did a fantastic piece on this that came out in December in the American Mind.
01:26:24.000Uh, total boomer welfare communism, total total boomer luxury communism.
01:26:29.000That's what it was total boomer luxury communism.
01:26:31.000And he just outlines all these different tax breaks and tax cuts and the big beautiful bill drop taxes on the social security checks.
01:26:40.000Like every day, every every day that we progress in this country, it just turns into more and more welfare, more and more relief for the elderly.
01:26:49.000Yeah, we should be prioritizing young people.
01:26:51.000This is how any society should function.
01:28:45.000Maybe it was the way they were asked on the poll.
01:28:46.000I don't know how many people responded to the poll, too, but I think it's short sighted because you can either increase what you're getting or.
01:29:56.000So it's like, yeah, I mean, to your point with the young people, you know, part of me says, look, we need to, you know, get in here and dig in our heels and fight or whatever.
01:30:04.000But it's happened like eight times in the last two months where a Republican, a national level Republican politician has come out and like thrown young white men under the bus.
01:30:15.000And so it kind of gets to a point where, okay, you know what?
01:30:19.000Maybe we like do reserve the right to chimp out a little bit if we're going to continue to be like scapegoated for every single thing.
01:30:25.000Yeah, maybe we kind of do have the right to be a little angry and actually like threaten not to vote.
01:30:29.000I think if you're like a young man who lives in Arkansas, you should make Sarah Huckabee Sanders earn your vote because that is like, no, don't vote for her.
01:33:36.000I wondered about if you get the vibe, if you're concerned that if it's not just rhetoric or just the look at, like, hey, these boomers really are out of control.
01:33:43.000Maybe there's, if you're worried that it's leading towards a class war, like a Marxist conflict between the youth and the.
01:33:50.000Well, it's pushing young people into socialism.
01:33:51.000I mean, like, I could eat the rhetoric.
01:33:54.000Like, this sounds maybe like I'm a cuck or something here, but it's like, dude, if we were getting just like rock star policy for young people and the only way to get that across the finish line was like the rhetoric we're seeing, that's, I'd still be annoyed, but that's one thing.
01:34:09.000Like, we're continuing to see when, you know, there's a budget crisis or whatever, they turn to young people and they tax young people.
01:34:16.000There's been no real like address to young men, young white men specifically, just being like completely frozen out of institutions.
01:34:22.000Like, there's all this talk about building parallel institutions or whatever.
01:34:25.000But as it stands right now, Harvard, Yale, these sorts of institutions, your IBMs, your big corporations, those are still the ticket right now into the elite.
01:34:35.000And we, I mean, until those parallel institutions are ready to go, we need young, intelligent men operating in those spheres.
01:34:42.000And right now, that's just not being addressed.
01:34:43.000All right, Ted, I got a question for you.
01:34:45.000You're a young man, you're tied to the machine holding you down.
01:36:22.000So, like the United States, it was like they didn't have, like the whole self expansion thing was not really.
01:36:27.000It's a lot about spreading out, getting more from outside, bringing it back.
01:36:31.000And so we're still sort of in that world.
01:36:33.000And the young people sort of, I think they expect that they're going to thrive if they stay sedentary and just.
01:36:39.000Do the over and over they do, but like instead of short of going to war and literal conquest and coming back with riches, like but, but Ian, do you use just for men?
01:36:54.000Because too much salt will make your hair go white, and if you do green vegetables, the magnesium makes it turn black.
01:36:59.000Are you saying that's why you've not grayed at fit 40?
01:37:01.000Correct, and if I eat a lot of salt, you'll see a lot more white, and then I'll eat a bunch of magnesium, like green vegetable, hard dose green vegetable.
01:37:07.000After two weeks, it gets all brown again.
01:37:09.000You got a couple grays in your, but you got to eat a couple.
01:37:11.000You got to eat some more green vegetables.
01:38:10.000If you low sodium, you just don't want to go over your daily amount because your body only needs a certain amount every day and then it becomes like heavily toxic.
01:38:16.000Your skin will get like kind of sticky if you eat too much salt.
01:38:20.000But if the old people start cutting down on their sodium, they'll live longer and it'll strain Social Security.
01:38:25.000Unless they can start contributing again, maybe they'll get inspired to make videos and lead people towards the boomer bounty.
01:38:30.000If we could find a way to make them work that they could do, then we'd be fine.
01:38:35.000What if we inject them with stem cells so they're strong again?
01:38:38.000And then with their good boomer work ethic, they just come back in the world.
01:38:41.000Yeah, show the youngsters how it's done.
01:38:43.000I mean, I know you're joking, but the thing that you're getting at though is like, but there are solutions.
01:38:48.000And that's what's frustrating about this whole conversation is like, we look at it like this coming train and we're standing on the track saying, oh my God, the train is coming.
01:38:56.000Like, there are things that we could do structurally, economically, to remedy this.
01:39:13.000When Bush proposed that in 05, and it crushed him in the midterms because every Democrat ran on, Bush is going to take away Social Security.
01:39:19.000And all he was saying is, hey, you should be able to have an alternative path, not Social Security, privately take that money.
01:39:25.000And imagine if you could run the numbers on what that money would be worth today.
01:40:46.000So, what would happen is you grow up and your dad and your parents, your grandpa, they're all there and they help you build a house.
01:40:54.000You build a house, you marry the girl next door from your town, people pair bonded, got together, and then you lived in that house and your dad lived across the field and you still worked together.
01:41:04.000Or, uh, uh, You just lived with your dad as a man, and they'd build a house on the property.
01:41:09.000So you live in the same property, you tended the same fields.
01:41:45.000I mean, Social Security completely disincentivized a private solution to taking care of the elderly, whether that be a family taking care of it.
01:41:50.000They say, oh, he has his own checks coming.
01:42:09.000Well, and to be fair, like, to be fair to the elderly going into what ended up being the New Deal era, as they had all their savings and everything wiped out by the Great Depression.
01:42:18.000So you actually have, like, I have a lot more sympathy then.
01:42:20.000The elderly now, it's like, dude, you lived through, The cheapest housing market, universities were dirt cheap.
01:42:27.000Job market's been roaring, great economy since the 80s.
01:42:30.000I mean, it's like, I mean, you had the 2008 financial crisis, but by that time, you're probably looking towards retirement anyway.
01:42:35.000They had all these opportunities to save a ton of money.
01:42:37.000And then now they're coming back to dip into the younger people's pockets.
01:42:39.000It's like completely unacceptable, at least in the New Deal era.
01:42:43.000You're like, the Great Depression, that nuked a lot of people.
01:43:46.000Like, I have a fair amount of ammunition, and if you look at what I paid for it 10, 15 years ago to now, it's working at a better rate than gold.
01:43:55.000Let me ask you a question because I like this hypothetical.
01:43:57.000Like, I always tell people because I remember, you know, Alex Jones back in the day is like, buy gold.
01:44:02.000So let's say the apocalypse happens and everyone's like, you know, it's like in the book of Eli, everyone's just like, oh, you're walking down the street and you're hungry.
01:44:11.000And you see a guy and he's flicking a gold coin.
01:47:49.000You know, it's just not, young people shouldn't have to live like that because they'd be the first generation to have to live like that.
01:47:55.000But, but, brother, when the settlers came to this country, They didn't land on that boat after surviving three months at sea and go, I want to go live next to a bunch of people my age to hang out.
01:48:13.000But I mean, a lot of the settlers did, they, for the first, you know, 100 years, even, they were mostly living within proximity to each other.
01:48:20.000So they could trade, they could go to church.
01:49:09.000But it's the market, unfortunately, this is like part of the problem with the free market in order for the economy to grow, there has to be a downward pressure on labor.
01:49:17.000Well, now we're seeing an upward pressure on labor because the population is declining.
01:49:21.000So they just bring in a bunch of immigrants.
01:49:25.000And then Tim's made this point previously.
01:49:27.000Now you have private equity getting involved in home buying because they need to keep the upward pressure on home prices so it doesn't bottom out.
01:49:35.000So you have immigration, you have private equity.
01:49:39.000Young people should be experiencing the cheapest housing market in history.
01:49:42.000Especially in this era now with Trump, where at least immigration stopped, you should be able to live in the New York suburbs for a decent price.
01:49:49.000You should be able to live in, maybe not DC, but other places throughout the country.
01:49:52.000You should be able to live in at least the suburbs of these places for a fairly decent price.
01:49:56.000But the home prices continue to climb.
01:51:58.000You've got haves and have nots that look the exact same, but we're functionally there in a lot of ways.
01:52:03.000I mean, this is once again part of the reason young people are floating socialism is because a lot of them are of immigrant background.
01:52:10.000But additionally, a major reason is just because of the economic pressures, and they're looking around and they're saying, I have nothing to lose.
01:52:16.000I want it all to burn, so I'll pursue.
01:52:19.000You know, whatever political option I have to let it burn.
01:52:23.000And because there's no taboos on the left, right?
01:52:27.000Those are going to be found on the left.
01:52:28.000You know, whatever let it burn ideologies exist on the right are chased out of the RNC.
01:52:32.000Which is why that, like, pre World War I socialist birth in Europe, as evil as socialism it is, you can understand why it took root.
01:52:42.000Because people are saying, like, you're always going to be Tate Brown, the Earl of whatever.
01:52:46.000And no matter what an a hole you are, no matter how bad you are, I will never be you or have your wealth or have your land.
01:52:53.000And they were like, well, that's the system.
01:52:55.000And you just have to accept the fact that, and that's kind of what the risk is of that we're headed back to that.
01:53:00.000And, you know, like if you can never earn your way into that class, then we just have a few, we're just going back to feudal Europe.
01:53:09.000And it's not going to be like a civil war or anything like that from my perspective.
01:53:13.000It's going to just be quite literally at a certain point, the dam will break if enough boomers die off andor enough, whatever, that the Democrats nominate a socialist and they come in with the redistributionist policies.
01:53:26.000It's just like, it's so obvious that's what's going to happen.
01:53:28.000And once again, I don't think anything's going to change on the right until like the 2030s or 2040s because right now the elderly.
01:53:34.000Dominate primaries, and that's not going to change anytime soon.
01:53:38.000So, you mentioned redistribution of like recently talking housing, housing redistribution.
01:53:42.000So, like, right now, the options I see is a bunch of houses come on the market.
01:53:45.000It's either going to be multinational corporations that buy it up, it's going to be Chinese people that buy up American houses, or it's going to be derelict houses that start to rot, black mold that kill their neighbors because of toxicity.
01:53:55.000So, like, demolished it, which is even more expensive.
01:53:57.000So, what do you otherwise you just take it from the bank?
01:53:59.000Like, the banks are going to be like, no, those are our houses.
01:54:22.000Look, because I think you'd like the story because I forgot what the details were, but it was like a bunch of women's husbands died in war or something like that.
01:54:29.000It might have been like the revolution.
01:54:34.000And they couldn't because they weren't working.
01:54:35.000And then all the men got together and they were like, Nope, it's ours now.
01:54:38.000There were a lot of times during the Great Depressions that they would.
01:54:42.000Banks would repossess farms and they would go up for auction.
01:54:45.000The men in the town would basically hold guns to everyone's head and be like, if you bid more than a dollar, and so the auction opening bid, 25 cents sold, and they would just give it back to the widow.
01:54:56.000And the men would make sure no one was involved in this auction.
01:55:14.000Yeah, we're so far departed from like, yeah, sort of social mobilization.
01:55:19.000I think actually one of the main problems in the economy is because we're so atomized.
01:55:22.000Like the economy, home buying, it's saving money in general is designed for married couples.
01:55:27.000So the fact that like young people aren't getting married makes it like not, you have to get really wealthy in order to like actually compete in the housing market, for example.
01:55:36.000It's designed for married couples to go in there together and like society is just completely unraveled.
01:55:40.000It's like there's multiple problems here.
01:55:42.000It's not necessarily just boomers holding wealth.
01:55:44.000Problem, but a lot of it is young people aren't married.
01:55:58.000You know, just because it's the law doesn't mean you have to do it.
01:56:02.000I know you're supposed to do the law when it's good, but if the legal system is made to screw you and it's a multinational organization where they get contracts that are usurious, like, dude, I love seeing people row together to protect the community against this machine evil.
01:56:17.000They said in the Great Depression, When a property was foreclosed on, the bank would hold an auction on the property.
01:56:22.000The locals would show up, guns in hand, threatening anybody who would dare to bid on it, and the family would get their foreclosed property back for a penny.
01:56:31.000That's just solidarity with your community because that's what we're fighting for, it's our community.
01:56:34.000If the U.S. government were like, all right, banks, we're taking all your property, would they then pull out of the United States to be like, fine, you're off the liberal economic order, and then we go be defunct?
01:57:46.000So when Elizabeth Warren gets up there and she talks about how we're going to fix the banking problem, all you did was make the banks stronger and richer and more powerful.
01:57:55.000Well, because wasn't it once they cut the ability for.
01:57:58.000Because it used to be, as I understand it, banks, if they wanted to operate in different states, they had to set up individual, like, Proprietorships basically, and then they like eliminated that and allowed just like a few banks just to tear everything up, exactly.
01:58:08.000And uh, it's kind of like one of those things where it's like, okay, sure, it allowed larger business to access more capital at once so it could expand the economy at the upper end, but then at the lower end, it just chewed up all these community banks and whatnot.
01:58:18.000We're gonna go to rumble rants and super chats before we go to the uncensored portion of the show, so make sure you get those in.
01:59:02.000We need to do, like, remember in Spider Man, I love using this as a reference to, like, the masculine power fantasy when Green Goblin is like, What will it be, Spider Man?
02:00:14.000People are thinking, like, this has got to be.
02:00:16.000The best day ever for her because oh my gosh, she got like exactly what she was thinking on the morning, or it's predictive programming and the plague is coming.
02:00:24.000She probably knew that the anti plague factory was there.
02:00:28.000And hold on, it's a pneumonic plague airborne, right?
02:00:33.000A few years after everyone's lungs have been weakened.
02:00:53.000Food will be delivered by drones because it'll be like have to be sanitized and people are gonna be like, look, people are literally dying.
02:09:41.000Because if you're 190, but you look 32, and all you want to do is bang a hot chick, but the 32 year old who's 190 has money, so why not bang her?
02:09:50.000So you're not going to bang a real 32 year old because the 180 year old with all the billions of dollars looks like she's 32.
02:10:22.000I think about this, I was going to say a lot, not literally, but like if you're 150 and you look 30, I mean, you very well may accidentally bang your great, great, great, great granddaughter.
02:10:52.000That's why the cousin fucking in the UK bill is so important because they're still trying to legalize marrying your first cousin because of Islam.
02:11:00.000And the Brits are saying you can't legalize that because you get a lot of inbreeding.
02:11:05.000And inbreeding, as a sheep farmer, is really bad.
02:11:08.000But they're trying to legalize it because of Islam practices.
02:11:33.000But they're married in their religion and they're having children.
02:11:35.000And so now they're saying, well, we want the parents recognized as a married couple.
02:11:40.000And up till now, the British law is like, well, no, we're not going to recognize you as a married couple because your brother and sister are first cousins.
02:11:46.000They're trying to change that law and it's becoming very contentious in the UK.
02:11:50.000You know, I don't think a nation should ever have to bow to a religion personally.
02:11:56.000So we're in the middle of relocating studios, and these next couple of weeks are going to be particularly brutal because we are delayed on the studio move.
02:12:07.000So I'm going to have to bounce in a couple of minutes because I have to drive far away after this.
02:13:29.000Broadcasting out of that building, we're going to go stand outside and protest.
02:13:33.000And I mean, that'd be like people, they didn't go there when Tucker was there, okay, you know, or when uh Laura Ingram, I think, is still there.
02:13:40.000Yeah, Fox is in that building, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:13:42.000Well, I mean, Laura Ingram's there, yeah, okay, good.
02:13:45.000I mean, I want you to be secure, I'm just saying that.
02:13:47.000Like, one of the things about being out here is no one knows where the hell you are, yeah, but uh, I don't know, it is what it is, I guess, okay, you know, it's pretty wild having a lot of conversations with people, uh, because I actually interviewed Jim Norton today, amazing, very funny guy.
02:14:04.000And one of the things we were talking about is how just like there are people online who lie intentionally because they want to make money.
02:14:11.000And so they make up things about everybody else.
02:14:13.000Basically, these lefties are talking amongst themselves about the right, not to the right or asking the right what they think, and they become dangerous.
02:17:09.000We then need to tell ChatGPT to write an actual script.
02:17:12.000So then I need to say, take that story, write a 30 second movie trailer script with beats, then paste that into C Dance so it can actually make something that makes sense.
02:17:25.000Before we go to Colorado, one question for you, Jason.
02:21:05.000This weekend, I saw some truly horrifying drone footage out of Ukraine where they were using drones to drip thermite on enemy trench lines.
02:21:16.000After seeing that footage, I began to wonder is it now time for a new Geneva Convention on drones and AI in war?
02:21:26.000And I have a follow up with that, but that's the first part.
02:21:34.000I mean, I know people roll their eyes at, you know, international correspondence on laws of war and whatnot, but yeah.
02:21:42.000I mean, again, the major powers do generally abide by the Geneva Convention.
02:21:49.000Again, there's not much, you know, barring the post war moment we have, there's not much these international bodies can do to enforce these.
02:21:58.000But, you know, in a world where like sanctions are still a thing, you know, if the United States perceives that Russia committed a war crime, they can, you know, utilize that in a sanctions pack and say, well, they committed, you know, they broke X, you know, international covenant we had.
02:22:12.000Right now, it doesn't matter because they're completely sanctioned anyway.
02:22:15.000But, you know, in a situation in which, you know, China, for example, you know, if China were to do this to, you know, who knows, Taiwan or Tibet or something, then we could come in and apply extra sanctions and have the, you know, the justification to do so.
02:22:29.000And, you know, I don't know specifically how the mechanisms work, but probably all the other NATO nations maybe would have to comply, or certain people and certain trade organizations would have to comply.
02:22:40.000I'm sure there is some sort of mechanisms in place.
02:22:41.000But I'm generally pretty dismissive of these international bodies in 2026, but I do think that would be worthwhile to pursue.
02:22:49.000Yeah, the Geneva, Switzerland, which is where they have the Bank for International Settlements.
02:22:53.000I mean, after World War II, they basically, I think that's when they set up the Geneva Convention, was after World War II, they're like, okay, we're going to lock it down.
02:22:59.000This is my cynical take on the Geneva Convention because I think.
02:23:01.000Protecting people from horrors of war is a good thing.
02:23:04.000But they basically pulled the ladder up and they're like, all right, now that we have control of the world, you can't use chemical weapons.
02:23:14.000So, like all the guerrilla war tactics of poisoning water supplies, poisoning, poisoning, they were like, no, no, no, you can't do that.
02:23:21.000You have to just fight with guns because they had all the guns.
02:23:25.000And so that's like, yeah, no, like Tate said, nobody, when it comes down to the shit, nobody fucking adheres to the rules.
02:23:32.000Like it's about winning and surviving.
02:23:34.000And, uh, But also, you don't want to leave the world a steaming heap of shit after the fact.
02:23:40.000Now, that aside, the optimization, the optimal look at it is no, I don't think drones have become deadly enough to issue a justifiable ban on them in conflict.
02:23:52.000I think countries are just warming up to using them.
02:23:56.000And it's about what you do with the drone.
02:23:58.000If you use a drone to drop a nuclear weapon, if you use a drone to take a picture, maybe napalm could be against the Geneva Convention.
02:24:05.000You know, like you said, thermite streams, maybe that could be made.
02:24:10.000But like shooting depleted uranium doesn't seem to be.
02:24:14.000Yeah, I think like an equilibrium is going to develop in the next, maybe not with this current war, but the next major war we have some sort of equilibrium.
02:24:23.000If we're not already there, that eliminates the asymmetry right now that we're seeing with drone warfare.
02:24:30.000The Ukrainians just have the edge globally on drones.
02:24:33.000But a situation in which drones are no longer like an X factor if you're the underdog in a war.
02:24:40.000For example, the United States seems to be now figuring out how to counter Iran's drones, but Saudis haven't figured that out yet, the Houthis.
02:24:52.000I think we're like five years away from drones maybe losing as much of their punch as they currently do.
02:24:57.000Probably just two rival drone swarms going at each other.
02:25:00.000That's what I always like listening to these because I don't know what I'm talking about.
02:25:03.000I listen to these military technology and strategists podcasts and whatever, and they always mention that they're like, we're probably a couple years away from rival drone swarms.
02:25:11.000You know, with these $50 drones they can manufacture in mass going at it.
02:25:16.000I could see a drone swarm being hacked and then serving the side of the opponent.
02:25:20.000Well, just think about like a minute, like, but the way they describe it is think about every front line or every base has like a mini iron dome of small drones that can be manufactured for like $40, $50.
02:25:31.000So if, you know, like, let's use Israel, Palestine, you know, say Hamas launches a drone swarm, then Israel can launch a drone swarm and intercept all of them.
02:25:40.000And it's going to just take us back to where we were before drone warfare, in theory, you know.
02:25:45.000It just eliminates the punch, so to speak, of drones on the battlefield.
02:25:50.000Unless it's just completely asymmetrical, right?
02:25:52.000Like if it's the IRGC versus the American Navy, who knows?
02:25:56.000There's a lot more factors when you're like flying drones over water than there would be over land.
02:26:01.000But you said you had a follow up to another part of that.
02:26:16.000Cause it, you know, I think we've been, well, the American people haven't benefited, but we've benefited from these international correspondences purely because that was how we justified going into Iraq.
02:26:27.000So, And previously, I mean, we kind of got boned to Vietnam a little bit, but like generally, the US with the Geneva Convention, because it was ratified by everyone, we can like bend it to our will to just because the United States wouldn't.
02:26:42.000Well, I don't know, maybe people disagree with this.
02:26:45.000We wouldn't go to the degrees of war crimes, so to speak, as maybe some of our contemporaries around the globe would.
02:26:53.000So we're always going to be on the bench.
02:26:55.000I would assume we would be benefiting from being able to utilize it for sanctions packages and whatnot.
02:27:01.000But, yeah, to Ian's point, I mean, I don't really see the utility of like reining in drones.
02:27:07.000They just came about, you know, AI is probably where maybe there should be more of a conversation.
02:27:11.000But even then, you know, it's so much more complicated that I don't even know how effective an international correspondence on how we ought to, you know, utilize it, how that would actually do anything.
02:27:23.000If there was a Geneva convention on drone or on AI, it would be after a great war was fought with AI and one party came out on top and decided, all right, rest of the world, you can't use it anymore because we have it.
02:28:15.000And once the Democrats are back in power, they'll just go full speed ahead and give them the panopticon keys, basically.
02:28:20.000I think it's the same thing I mentioned in the last segment, which was the banking issue.
02:28:25.000The big banks, after the crash of 2008, said, yes, we welcome all this regulation because they knew it would just put their competitors out of business.
02:28:32.000And so Amode is like, no, no, no, we need the government to institute all these safeguards for the good of society.
02:28:39.000But they know that they can survive the safeguards because they're multi trillion dollar companies.
02:29:14.000And that's exactly what they want this regulation for.
02:29:17.000All big business looks for regulation to put their competition out of business.
02:29:21.000That's the evil bastard relationship of big government and big business.
02:29:24.000It's either that or for the first time, perhaps in the history of markets, a CEO is voluntarily asking the government to regulate it because he's actually terrified of its capability.
02:29:34.000Oh no, I might become dictator of the world.
02:31:52.000It's, I think it's inevitable, which is why he's not stopping.
02:31:54.000It's like, if we're going to do, if it's going to happen, let's be the first one so at least we can set the tone.
02:31:58.000Yeah, and you're playing, because I don't.
02:32:01.000Yeah, it's just tough to say because, like, okay, you're playing chicken with deep sea, you know, or whatever other Chinese models exist.
02:32:08.000But, you know, everyone's like, well, the Chinese aren't going to slow down.
02:32:10.000It's like, well, what if, like, we're not, I mean, what if we're actually the ceiling of the technology is already coming into view now and it doesn't even matter if we beat China?
02:32:18.000Bro, they can parallel machines and run.
02:32:22.000We have no, what we see is what they sell the consumer market, which is, it's not, it's like one.
02:32:38.000I mean, there is a certain percent where I'm like, maybe not.
02:32:40.000If I can buy for $16,000, like a 256 gigabyte AI locally that I can talk to and it can do all my stuff, imagine that times 10 or 100.
02:32:50.000Like those data centers, the amount of gigs they're running in parallel right now, I don't even know if it's public knowledge.
02:32:56.000And that's why I'm like, okay, and if that's the case, then I think what's more likely is they're trying to basically run the clock out.
02:33:03.000So, the Democrats get back in and they can have the panopticon to utilize.
02:33:07.000That's a worst case scenario, as you give Republican administration keys to the most powerful technology in human history.
02:33:12.000No, they're going to wait until they have their buddies.
02:33:15.000I mean, these are all like, okay, yes, Silicon Valley came over to our camp in the last election, but these people are not necessarily friends.
02:33:23.000There's a few of them that are good, I'm sure, and I know a few of them, but the overwhelming majority of them are still dyed in the wool, liberals, globalists.
02:34:17.000That's actually the question I was going to have because I mean, this is not necessarily my field, but what if they could combine quantum computing with this?
02:34:24.000Like, that really becomes a thing where there's no limit, that it can think in every direction all at the same time, overlapping.
02:35:36.000This is Claude's not being trained on quantum computers, but that quantum computing companies have used Claude to stabilize lasers and neural and neutral atom quantum hardware.
02:35:46.000I don't know a lot about quantum computation, but it is being used to guide quantum computation.
02:36:29.000I think she's trying to create another pandemic.
02:36:34.000So my friend Mr. Weld told me the story about how Taylor Swift dropped this new Patient Zero song on the same day that there was a leak from the lab somewhere in Siberia.
02:36:52.000And He's conveniently the same day, and it was like exactly the woman that got it died like six years, six months, and six days from when they locked us down for the pandemic.
02:37:12.000I mean, I'm usually pretty dismissive of these, like, oh, well, you know, he referenced such and such event in a song, and the 9 11 happened today.
02:37:21.000This one is like a little like this is kind of on the nose.
02:38:10.000Hey, we're going to put it out with one of the most popular, well known pop stars there is.
02:38:16.000And we're going to talk about the new, you know, mnemonic plague.
02:38:19.000I wonder if that's because if people hear about it just once, there's a shock and you don't know.
02:38:24.000Yeah, you don't know how they're going to react.
02:38:25.000But if you can get them ready for it for a month and make sure they get a little negative scare in there, then when they hear about it for real, it's like, oh God.
02:38:33.000Think of the original COVID timeline when you first started hearing about it to when the shit hit the fan.
02:38:38.000It was like probably about five months, right?
02:40:41.000And, like, it's one of those they couldn't get it to stick.
02:40:43.000And I think that that's part of the whole idea is you have to have these psyops where you push this out to people to get them to accept it.
02:40:51.000Otherwise, if I don't see people dying in my sort of circle, I don't care.
02:40:57.000Like, I'm not going to pay attention to it if I see videos of people dying in the street.
02:41:00.000Cause I, that, that was for, I would say that I was concerned about COVID for about three days of the entire thing.
02:41:07.000I really didn't care at all, didn't want to hear about it.
02:41:10.000And it was after I watched those videos from China and I'm like, oh my God, this is going to be really.
02:41:13.000And then I'm sitting there going, okay, well, I'm doing the math on the numbers.
02:41:34.000And so people experienced it very differently because if you were in New York or New Jersey or Massachusetts or somewhere, you know, all hell was breaking loose.
02:41:44.000And then in other states, it's like, what's going on?
02:41:47.000What's, you know, it was very, very different.
02:43:03.000If it doesn't sink in and you go, oh, there was actually a threat, because I still have people to this day, they're like, oh, it's so dangerous.
02:43:09.000Like it's one of those, it's just normal.
02:43:12.000Scenarios and yeah, there may have been a lab leak and maybe some people got sick, but I don't think that the collective of everybody that was dying was not dying from some specific thing, at least in my mind.
02:43:21.000And that's my opinion, but I was never, I was literally never scared of it except for those first couple days where I was like, Oh, maybe this is bad.
02:43:28.000It's more than and it's fact based, like co morbidities were 96%.
02:46:36.000I mean, before I like, I guess I was a registered Republican, but I was more concerned with the NBA and playing basketball and that sort of thing.
02:46:44.000And then afterwards, you're like, oh, I really need to like dial in here.
02:46:47.000And yeah, because politics, you know, you may not care about politics, but politics is going to care about you because it's going to affect you.
02:46:54.000That's what I try to explain to people is like, for example, I'm working on getting some furniture done with the Amish.
02:47:01.000The Amish don't care about the internet, they need to care about the internet because the internet controls what 99% of the population at this point.
02:47:43.000Thoughts, yes, I had quite a few actually.
02:47:45.000You guys just kept going like a train, all right.
02:47:48.000But, um, either way, I thought it was interesting that they let us know that this happened because you know it's Russia and are they the most open and honest about things?
02:47:59.000I felt like I got COVID like in November, way before they said that COVID was like here in the US because I was really sick and bedridden for like a week and it was like the worst sickness I've had in a long time.
02:48:11.000And they didn't test for COVID back then, so they would never know.
02:48:15.000And also, I just recently got pneumonia and a really weird case of pneumonia.
02:48:20.000It was in the upper lung and it's really awkward.
02:48:22.000But also, I learned that somebody else in my same town, my friend, got the same thing about a month before I got it.
02:48:31.000And it was in the upper lung and they didn't know what it was.
02:48:33.000They had to take a biopsy to me to figure out what it was.
02:49:10.000And I remember like in December, me and I had like six roommates, and we all got this weird, you know, lump in the back, your throat lost our smell and everything.
02:49:17.000And then I never got COVID after that.
02:49:19.000So I was like, I think I got it and I got the antibodies from it.
02:52:08.000Personally, abortion is nested within a larger issue, which is how do people perceive sex?
02:52:15.000I think that's like the bigger question.
02:52:17.000Abortion is obviously the nuclear option, but people view sex now as like transactional.
02:52:25.000Like, birth control preceded abortion.
02:52:27.000Like, people are just starting to view sex as detached from childbirth.
02:52:31.000So, I think the only way out of it, unfortunately, isn't like a culture war victory.
02:52:34.000You're literally going to like socially engineer your way out, where you have to basically.
02:52:39.000Restore this idea in people's head that sex equals baby.
02:52:44.000And this is like a problem for people that are pro life.
02:52:47.000I include myself among those ranks, is like we're always going to be on the back foot because as long as sex is detached from childbirth, it's going to be really hard to have people make that connection in their head that that's what an abortion functionally is.
02:53:01.000So either we return to a pre birth control society, which I think is unlikely, or we kind of do what we've done so far, which is work out an arrangement where each state or jurisdiction can kind of.
02:53:14.000Come up with the abortion laws they see fit.
02:53:16.000And then longer term, yeah, I think you should socially engineer your way out.
02:53:20.000It's probably going to have to be just making it so unthinkable that you'd want to abort your child, where we can at least eliminate 99% of them insofar as it needs to be in vogue to have kids again.
02:53:32.000And that's where you can socially engineer your way out.
02:53:34.000Like you could literally just set up priority parking for pregnant mothers.
02:53:37.000You know, there's a whole slew of solutions for that.
02:53:41.000There's always probably going to be abortion on the fringes, you know, with rape and incest and probably health complications.
02:53:53.000And I'm not sure we'll ever be able to.
02:53:55.000Fully solve that without passing a super unpopular law.
02:53:59.000Roe v. Wade hurt us in the midterms four years ago.
02:54:02.000I just don't think abortion is a winning issue for conservatives right now, which I think everyone here would probably agree.
02:54:08.000So it's going to be like a long term social engineering project.
02:54:13.000The problem is we live in four year terms where it's a democracy.
02:54:16.000So it's a mixture of good news and bad news.
02:54:18.000I think the good news is it is solvable.
02:54:21.000The bad news is it's going to require a Pretty Herculean task from the GOP, which they're probably just not up for right now after they have a bad taste in their mouth after how the last election went when abortion was on the ballot, basically.
02:54:38.000I think a lot of it's out of sight, out of mind, because if you don't see the kid, as soon as the kid's born, it's like, I'm not going to kill that thing.
02:55:05.000I mean, if not, it was already kind of a little bit like it became a big social taboo to beat your wife.
02:55:10.000Maybe we could do that with abortion if you put neural nets on these kids while they're in the womb so you can communicate with them when they're two months old.
02:55:16.000A kid is their age begins at conception, they're born, they're already nine months old.
02:55:21.000I know we say they're zero when they're born, but in reality, they begin at life right at conception.
02:55:27.000So if you can communicate with it, While it's still gestating and growing, that would, I think, take us a lot closer to not wanting to kill.
02:55:34.000Yeah, I think that could be a solution.
02:55:36.000I think, like, you know, the problem is: sex is decoupled from childbirth.
02:55:45.000And secondarily, like, in order to have a kid now, you need to want to have one, right?
02:55:49.000Like, it's basically an expensive hobby.
02:55:51.000And I mean that with all the respect possible because the way that our market is structured at the moment, it just makes no economic sense whatsoever to have a child.
02:56:01.000I mean, previously you would have a child because they could help you on the farm or help you with the business or whatever.
02:56:05.000Now it's just you need to want to have a child.
02:56:08.000That's why, like, when a couple decides we're going to have a baby, they decide to.
02:56:13.000And that's typically immaterial explanations for why they want the child.
02:56:16.000I want to carry on my legacy, or I just want something around the house, or I've always wanted a baby, et cetera.
02:56:21.000You need to figure out the key to solving this issue the government in charge has to figure out what is the immaterial draw that people have to having a child.
02:56:33.000How do we strap a booster rocket to that?
02:56:35.000How do we make it like irresistible for a woman to want to have a child?
02:56:38.000And that's probably require, once again, a lot of social engineering.
02:56:42.000If my kid could help me work on the farm, except my farm is growing a bunch of AI brains and vats, if I could attach this kid to a neural net when it's two months in the womb and I communicate with him, the kid already knows English by the time it's born and it knows how to communicate with my computers and I can just set it there and it will command the AIs for me while I'm out of the house working out in the field.
02:57:02.000Bro, now I'm going to start having kids because they'll actually be able to help.
02:57:31.000My only other contribution to it is a difficult conversation, which is an even more difficult introduction of the conversation some 70% of the abortions in this country are by minority communities.
02:57:42.000And of that 70%, the overwhelming majority are by underage kids.
02:57:50.000Of 14 and 15 and 16 year old black and brown women who are getting impregnated by 14 and 15 and 16 year old women.
02:57:58.000And we don't even talk about statutory rape.
02:58:00.000So I don't know how we have a conversation of like the idea that even, and what's crazy is that like the people pushing abortion advocacy are like 35 year old white chicks, but they're not really the ones having the abortions.
02:58:15.000Like they, it really is Margaret Sanger's like fantasy.
02:58:18.000Like we are really just like eliminating minority communities.
02:58:22.000For a white dude who, you know, sitting here to tell black and brown women what to do is a hard conversation.
02:58:29.000But the biggest problem with abortion in America is that the people getting abortions have such fucked up cultures where it is common for 13 and 14 year old girls to get impregnated and no one bats an eye.
02:59:02.000But that is a small percentage of abortions.
02:59:04.000The majority of them are these cases and these cultures that we just ignore completely.
02:59:11.000And that's a larger conversation you mentioned, you know, which is a great conversation, but would get us all fired.
02:59:16.000Well, it wouldn't get me fired from our jobs, but it's a tough conversation when you said like the GOP is just making ad upon ad beating up young white men.
02:59:55.000And that's absolutely fundamentally what's going on.
02:59:58.000Because again, like, when you think of.
03:00:00.000People that view abortion as just a form of birth control rather than this like tragic, you know, decision that a mother comes to.
03:00:08.000Like, actually, no, to your point, it is mostly young black, primarily black, actually, and then also brown teenagers and early 20s functionally using it as birth control.
03:00:19.000It's like a high time preference problem where they're like, I'll just have sex.
03:00:59.000And this is verifiable by data, by the way.
03:01:01.000It's just another example of like safe, edgy, where it's easy for conservatives to say, Well, it's these girl bosses all getting abortions, and it's like, it's not.
03:01:08.000No, no, it's just that it's easy to beat up on white women because it's like they're not going to get too offended.
03:01:13.000They're going to be like, yeah, totally, we're evil.
03:01:16.000To your point, that's what we're saying about the young white men.
03:01:18.000It's like easy punching bags when the actual problem, you know, who's racking up the bodies in this instance?
03:01:24.000Well, you know, it's the people in this community that view it as a form of birth control.
03:01:29.000And, you know, there's some sort of cosmic ledger that's accounting for all these deaths that are, you know, being stacked up in this country, I imagine.
03:01:38.000That would be my more esoteric side of my thinking.
03:01:41.000Could you get to the level that you are the Planned Parenthood and the inner city and a girl comes to you and says, I need the abortion?
03:04:40.000I think it's like you do want to change the minds of people because forcing other people at gunpoint to have babies they don't want is like, yo, bro, I don't give a fuck what you do over there, to be honest.
03:04:51.000But I want you to want to raise your child.
03:06:50.000Yeah, I would like to shout out the person who I think could actually do more for this conversation, and that's Russell from Abolitionist Rising.
03:06:59.000I believe I mentioned Tim spoke about him on one of his videos last week.
03:07:03.000I think he would be a phenomenal guest.
03:07:05.000He's the one, and he's in Canada, right?
03:07:07.000And he has the sign, and there's always people.
03:07:09.000I don't think he's a Canadian, but if he is, he's a pretty decent person.
