There is a political movement that has used climate change to scare people. It started with global cooling, then changed to global warming, and now they use the term climate change. They claim the world will end in 12 years, but that's not true. We will adapt. The pandemic is even better for them because they can gain control. They can implement vaccine passports and restrict travel. We should be concerned about a potential bank crisis and the possibility of a central bank digital currency that can control our purchases based on our social credit score. This happens in China, and some technocrats in the US might want the same. We should be skeptical and ask questions.

Back then, you couldn't say anything about masks or vaccines without facing censorship. It was considered a public health threat. Now, two years later, we're seeing news admitting that there were mistakes due to censorship. No one was interested in the truth or studying the situation. People were more focused on imposing restrictions and control. We need freedom to debate. It's concerning that a public organization can gather and accuse someone of lying on the internet without any consequences. Is this the solution? Is this the way forward?

The World Economic Forum and the UN have plans for changing how we conduct ourselves, with a fixation on Agenda 2030. Elites want to structure the economy and society in the Western world like the Chinese model, without putting it to a vote. Developments in AI and robotics are so advanced that elites believe they don't need 90% of the population. There is a depopulation agenda using vaccines, repeated pandemics, wars, and famines. Conflicts include Russia/Ukraine, potential China/Taiwan, and the Middle East. Governments are making decisions that hinder farmers' ability to produce food, impacting crop yields and food production, leading to death, destruction, and conflict in starving regions. The future for humanity is looking very dark unless people stand up together.

8 billion people are controlled by 100 elite families who manipulate governments to work for them. We need to stop fighting each other and realize the real enemy is the oligarchs who benefit from our division. Left wing, right wing - they're all the same. The true power lies with those who oppress men, women, and children globally. Political labels don't matter; what matters is the elite's control over us.

We are living in a unique time, emerging from a primal past while feeling more connected yet disconnected due to technology. There's a struggle for genuine human communication and civil discourse, despite being more informed about human behavior. A significant shift has occurred in political ideologies, with the left embracing war and censorship, showing blind loyalty to authority. While the left has become adept at destruction and aggressively targets dissenters, the right tends to mock and ridicule rather than engage in personal attacks. This dynamic highlights the complexities of current societal interactions.

Speaker 0: There were four drugs that were being tested for Ebola. Remdesivir killed more people than placebo, and the data safety monitoring board had actually stopped the study where literally fifty three percent of Speaker 1: the patients died in the failed Ebola trial and was repurposed. It was a failed Ebola drug because it caused more harm than good in Ebola trials. It was still unpatent. It was Tony Fauci's drug of choice. The majority of hospital deaths were actually caused by Anthony Fauci because his NIH put out protocols that if the hospital systems adhered to, they got bonuses, big bonuses, lots of money, $3,000 per for putting an IV in of remdesivir. Boom. $3,000. But guess what? On top of the entire hospital stay, a 20% bonus, that could be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Speaker 0: The data was so overwhelming that remdesivir killed patients more so than placebo. The drug had to be stopped, and this was published in the New England Journal in the 2019. Speaker 2: What happened during COVID could not have happened without propaganda and censorship. And how do we overcome that propaganda and censorship? It's primarily through people not being willing to shut up.

Only two years ago, discussing certain subjects was taboo, but now it's clear to anyone paying attention. Embracing humanistic views is crucial for progress, just like in business. Bravery is important in breaking the barriers and inspiring others to stand up for their beliefs. The pandemic of our time is the lack of bravery. It's important to love and support our communities and countries. The globalists want to create division and hate among us, but we must resist. Civilization is necessary for our well-being, and we're at a critical moment where we need to resist globalist oppression. Once machines take over policing, it will be too late. We need to have discussions and debates about a pro-human future.

Our politicians in Ireland are no different than England and everywhere else. They report up to the network through the European Commission, which is like the Politburo in Soviet times, unelected. And then you've got the European Parliament, which is like the Soviet Parliament in Soviet times. It's a talk shop with no real power. So EU is modeled on purpose on the Soviet system of totalitarian collectivization with unelected bureaucrats. Then you've got the UN, which sprang from Rockefeller's loins. Rockefeller brothers formed the Rockefellers along with the Rothschilds and the Warburgs. All of these structures we've got have been funded and grown, Trilateral Commission, Council Foreign Relations, Bilderberg, W. F. They've all been grown to manage the ant farm of us humans. That's where all our problems come from, and it all goes up essentially to the big banking kind of globalist oligarchs, and they all work together. So we get all this crap that comes down like totally totalitarian dystopian madness. So the key thing for people is to understand your politicians, challenge them on who they're reporting to. That's a key thing, I think. Not don't challenge them about what they're bringing in because that's a waste of time. If everyone is saying we see you and we know you're reporting to a non sovereign, non Irish authority, bringing in things that are against the people's interests. So who are you reporting to? And everyone keeps asking, keeps telling them, we know where you're at. We see you. I think that's important because a lot of people now, even young people are beginning to realize when we were told it was a conspiracy theory that higher powers are basically running our lives in a totalitarian fashion, that was part of the scam. We were indoctrinated to believe that higher up ultra wealthy people running our lives and influencing our governments was a conspiracy theory. But increasingly, people are realizing now, actually, that was a trick to tell us that Uh-huh. Because they are running our lives, and our children's and grandchildren's futures are going to be destroyed by these ultra rich oligarchs if we don't start making a ruckus. Now, wef is a filthy household name. Whereas they worked in the shadows for, like, a century, and no one ever talked about them because they own the media. No. It's 20 social media, you got COVID backlash Yeah. Vaccine backlash, and now you got all these people talking about them. And that's why they're desperately trying to get in hate speech, digital millennium act, censorship, ID for people to get on the Internet. They're really worried about the young people talking. Really scared about that. And, I think it's all on the razor's edge, all to play for for the bad guys and the good guys. Uh-huh. I couldn't call it. I think it's all to play for. So let's double down, more awakening.

The speaker describes an unusually heavy police presence at a protest surrounding the idea of “putting the Christ back into Christmas,” noting this contrasts with the counter-protest on the opposite side and framing it as part of a larger pattern of divide and rule. The core argument is that the few have historically controlled the many by enforcing rigid, unquestioning beliefs and pitting belief systems against one another, thereby suppressing exploration and research beyond those beliefs. The speaker urges putting down fault lines of division and argues that if people would sit down and talk, the fault lines would appear overwhelmingly irrelevant. The focus should be on threats to basic freedoms, especially those of children and grandchildren, which are being “deleted” in the process. The claim is that the basic freedoms of individuals are being eroded by a digital AI human fusion control system the speaker has warned about for decades, tempered by increasing concern as fewer laugh and more people worry about it. A central warning is that those seeking control would create a dystopia by infiltrating the human mind with artificial intelligence, leveraging a digital network of total human control. The speaker asserts this is already happening to the point that people no longer think their own thoughts or have their own emotional responses; “we have theirs via AI.” The speaker targets public figures and tech figures, asserting that Elon Musk is promoting an AI dystopia, and naming Starmer as aligned with Tony Blair, who is allegedly connected to Larry Ellison and other media and AI interests. The claim is that these figures supposedly “have your best interests at heart,” in the speaker’s view a misleading portrayal. There is a warning about a future in which digital IDs and digital currencies dictate daily life, with AI-driven fusion reducing human thinking to negligible levels. Ray Kurzweil is cited as predicting that by 2030 humanity will be fused with AI, with AI taking over more human thinking. The speaker emphasizes that 8,000,000,000 people cannot be controlled by a few unless the many acquiesce, and calls for unity to resist this trajectory. The rallying message is a call to unite, to reject divisions, and to act collectively to stop being controlled by a few. The speaker uses the metaphor that united, we are lions; divided, we are sheep, and urges the lion to roar. The conclusion is a global appeal for the lion to awaken and roar, signaling readiness to resist the imagined dystopia.

Nicolai Tangen on AI, Ambition, and the Speed of Success
Guests: Nicolai Tangen
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Nicolai Tangen discusses ambition as a driver of achievement and frames AI as a central lever for national and corporate advancement. He argues that open economies with free movement and free thought tend to sustain periods of high growth, and he contends that embracing AI broadly across society would amplify productivity, a view he ties to organizational outcomes where digital tools enable more with the same headcount. He contrasts the high-energy, highly ambitious American ecosystem with European norms, noting how mindset shapes outcomes, and he emphasizes the value of speed, urgency, and decisive action in a rapidly changing world. A recurring theme is the need to manage risk through disciplined, data-informed decision making while remaining open to dissenting views. In investment and governance, he highlights the importance of pattern recognition tempered by rigorous analysis, the benefit of diverse inputs, and the necessity of a long-run perspective—even for complex institutions like Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, which he describes as anchored by transparency, political consensus, and a conservative spending rule. The interviewennial arc moves from personal experience—his shift from AKO Capital to leading a national wealth fund—to practical methods for changing organizations: build a unified leadership group, prioritize a few initiatives, overcommunicate, and maintain a steady cadence of feedback. He illustrates the tension between risk-taking and risk management with anecdotes from his own career and from investing legends, advocating a stance that blends contrarian bets with disciplined evaluation. Throughout, he stresses the social dimension of technology: the importance of free speech, open trade, and collaboration as prerequisites for innovation. He closes by reflecting on the pace of change, the potential for AI to reshape education and business, and the ongoing need to keep learning, stay curious, and foster environments where dissenting ideas can be heard without personal attribution or fear of reprisal.

We are at the beginning of history, with future generations viewing us as the ancients. The discussion revolves around the long-term trajectory of civilization and the actions we can take to ensure a flourishing future for generations to come. The James Webb telescope highlights our smallness in the universe and the vast potential ahead. Long-term thinking often spans only decades, but we should consider humanity's existence over hundreds of thousands of years, as our life expectancy could extend for trillions of years if we navigate challenges like engineered pathogens and AI safely. Long-termism emphasizes the importance of future generations and the potential for human flourishing. Events in our lifetime, such as pandemics or conflicts, could significantly alter humanity's course. The risks we face today, including engineered bioweapons and nuclear threats, necessitate careful navigation of new technologies. For instance, far UVC lighting could potentially eradicate respiratory diseases and prevent future pandemics. The interconnectedness of our world today makes this an unusual time in history, where ideas can spread rapidly. Rapid technological progress poses both opportunities and risks, as we face the potential for civilizational collapse or stagnation. The discussion also touches on the importance of moral progress and the dangers of value lock-in, where dominant ideologies could stifle future moral advancements. To safeguard civilization, we must consider the risks of extinction and global collapse. While extinction seems unlikely, engineered pandemics pose significant threats. The conversation emphasizes the need for a proactive approach to mitigate these risks, including investing in clean technologies and creating safe spaces for future generations. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure a flourishing future by maintaining moral progress and technological advancement, allowing humanity to explore various possibilities without locking into suboptimal futures. The importance of fostering a morally exploratory society is highlighted, where we can reflect on our values and make informed decisions for the future.

Brainy curiosity collides with mystic musings as Gregg Braden and Joe Rogan thread a narrative spanning Mars, the Moon, and human origins. The discussion spotlights debates about monuments or engineered geometries on Mars and near lunar sites, with Sidonia-era dating around 50,000 years before present and claims Viking probes found microbes while large structures loomed nearby. They note NASA’s Clementine images were pixelated, arguing hidden details might exist beneath official releases. The exchange widens to the space race, China and the United States, and the possibility that an ancient civilization touched both planets long before today. Braden pivots to biology and consciousness, arguing recent genetics point to an intentional intervention in humanity’s design. He cites chromosome 2 as the product of a telomere-to-telomere fusion, dating to about 200,000 years ago, and notes that humans differ from Neanderthals and Denisovans in ways shaping cognition. He highlights chromosome 7’s role in speech and singing and argues that modern genetics demand a broader narrative than traditional Darwinian lines. He casts the DNA story as evidence of an intelligent origin, tying it to ancient Mesopotamian and Gnostic texts about humans created by a higher power. Technology and governance take center stage with Braden describing the Great Reset, the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, and the push toward digital IDs and AI-driven social control. The discussion links biotechnological and informational systems to censorship, bots, and manipulation of public discourse. Braden frames this era as a contest over who defines reality: preserving human sovereignty or allowing a biology–digital–AI fusion that could redefine being human. He warns about the convergence sparking global debate on rights and freedoms, and the surveillance economy and the risk of technocratic governance.

Michael Shellenberger discusses his experience accessing the Twitter files, highlighting the misinformation surrounding the deplatforming of Donald Trump and the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story. He notes that Twitter's internal discussions revealed a progressive bias among staff, but also significant influence from government agencies like the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, which pressured Twitter to censor certain content. Shellenberger explains that this shift in narrative from individual bias to government influence was alarming, revealing a broader operation to control information. He traces the origins of this apparatus back to the post-9/11 era, where the government began to regulate speech in response to perceived threats, particularly after events like Brexit and Trump's election. The conversation shifts to the implications of censorship and the role of social media in shaping public discourse. Shellenberger emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in how information is moderated, arguing that the government should disclose when it pressures platforms to censor content. He expresses concern over the rise of ideologies that prioritize control over open dialogue, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine discourse. They discuss the cultural implications of these trends, including the rise of identity politics and the impact on free speech. Shellenberger argues that the abandonment of traditional moral frameworks has led to a new form of dogmatism, where dissenting voices are silenced. He advocates for a return to foundational principles of free speech and the recognition of shared humanity. The discussion also touches on the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and the need for careful regulation to prevent misuse. Shellenberger expresses optimism about the possibility of change, citing recent public revolts against elite control in various contexts, including the Dutch farmers' protests against government regulations. Overall, the conversation underscores the importance of open dialogue, the dangers of censorship, and the need for a return to fundamental principles of freedom and accountability in society.

Steven Pinker Returns (on common knowledge) | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Guests: Steven Pinker
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Common knowledge binds groups more tightly than private belief alone. Steven Pinker explains private knowledge versus common knowledge, showing that common knowledge is the chain: I know that you know that I know. He illustrates with rock-paper-scissors, the emperor’s new clothes, and everyday language. When something is conspicuously public, it becomes common knowledge and enables coordination—from a coffee rendezvous to mass protests. He emphasizes tracking data rather than chasing headlines, arguing that long-run trends in health, poverty, and life expectancy show progress even as today’s news highlights danger. He cites Our World in Data and real-world metrics: war deaths, longevity, maternal mortality, and child survival. The conversation notes that democracy has improved over centuries but has leveled off more recently, and that conflicts such as Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan test that progress. COVID becomes a case study in science communication: vaccines helped, but calibration of confidence and risk remains essential. From there the talk turns to focal points and conventions that solve coordination problems. Thomas Schelling’s clock at Grand Central Station becomes a model for aligning actions without explicit agreement. Lines on maps, borders, and round-number focal points can reduce conflict even when boundaries are imperfect. The stock market is described as a beauty contest: investors guess what others will pick, fueling memes and network effects, including the GameStop frenzy and crypto advertising that relies on social momentum rather than intrinsic product value. Pinker ties this to Super Bowl ads, where common knowledge justifies a premium and turn mass attention into social proof. He contrasts anonymous gifts with reputation-driven philanthropy, citing David Pins’ taxonomy of status signals and the way people seek social approval. He also discusses how donors balance recognition with impact, showing the social dynamics behind generosity. The third thread probes science, politics, and AI. Academia’s perceived liberal tilt is debated with a defense of free speech and Mill’s warning that truth benefits from criticism, even when experts err. He critiques COVID communication and argues for cautious calibration under uncertainty, plus the costs and benefits of policy choices. He cautions against deplatforming that stifles knowledge, insisting that inquiry should remain open even amid disagreement. On AI, he argues against existential panic, noting that AI is a crafted tool rather than a sentient force, and progress depends on design and regulation. The talk closes with a central claim: progress comes from maintaining common knowledge and coordination, leveraging data, and preserving open inquiry, even as disagreement persists.

In this episode of Armchair Expert, Dax Shepard interviews historian Yuval Harari, who discusses his new graphic novel, *Sapiens: A Graphic History*, aimed at making complex historical concepts more accessible. Harari, a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, emphasizes the importance of understanding history to liberate ourselves from outdated narratives and societal norms. He highlights how many beliefs, such as gender roles, are constructed and can be changed. Harari also addresses the current political climate in Israel, noting that while criticism of the government is generally allowed, certain topics remain socially taboo. He contrasts this with the U.S., where political polarization has intensified, leading to a situation where citizens view each other as enemies rather than rivals. He warns that this division undermines democracy and suggests that a shared understanding and trust in institutions are crucial for societal cohesion. The conversation shifts to the implications of technology and surveillance, particularly in the context of public health responses to COVID-19. Harari discusses the potential for biometric surveillance to eliminate pandemics but cautions against its dystopian possibilities if misused by authoritarian regimes. He argues for the necessity of global cooperation to address common challenges like pandemics and technological regulation, emphasizing that nationalism and globalism are not inherently contradictory. Finally, Harari reflects on the dangers of algorithms that manipulate human behavior, warning that the ability to hack human emotions could lead to unprecedented control by authoritarian figures. He advocates for a new regulatory framework to manage the impact of technology on society, stressing the urgency of establishing trust in institutions to navigate these challenges effectively.

Bret Weinstein and Dave Rubin discuss the current state of civilization, emphasizing that humanity is facing an unprecedented battle for its future. Weinstein expresses concern that the failure to rekindle Western civilization could lead to a dire outcome for the species. He contrasts two bases for civilization: one focused on lineage and conflict, and the other on collaboration and reciprocity. He argues that the latter is essential for humanity's survival but is threatened by elites who fear losing power. Weinstein reflects on the Enlightenment's progress and the dangers of returning to tribalism, suggesting that the current chaos is a result of rapid societal changes without understanding their consequences. He critiques the education system for teaching arbitrary knowledge and highlights the need for a careful evaluation of traditions and values. The conversation shifts to the role of technology and the influence of social media, with Weinstein noting that the current system is controlled by elites who do not represent the public. He believes that the recent challenges, including COVID, have revealed weaknesses in these systems, suggesting that there is potential for meaningful change if people unite and confront the issues at hand. Ultimately, both agree that despite the daunting challenges, there is a necessity to stand up and fight for a better future, as doing nothing will lead to collective destruction.

Dr. Mark Changizi, a theoretical cognitive scientist with a background in physics and mathematics, discusses his latest book, *Motorcycle Mind*, which explores the unique emotional connection between motorcyclists and their bikes. He emphasizes that motorcyclists share a distinct culture, characterized by signaling and emotional expression that differs fundamentally from car driving. The book aims to unpack these experiences through the lens of perceptual science and neuroscience. Changizi reflects on his personal journey into motorcycling, highlighting how it has transformed his daily life in Miami, where he sold his car to embrace motorcycle riding. He explains the emotional dynamics involved in riding, noting how motorcyclists can modulate their emotional states through gear selection and acceleration, creating a deeper connection with their machines. The conversation shifts to Changizi's experiences with censorship and free speech, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. He recounts his legal battle against the federal government regarding censorship practices by big tech companies, emphasizing the importance of free expression in society. He critiques both top-down and bottom-up censorship dynamics, arguing that the public's demand for safety often leads to the suppression of dissenting voices. Changizi also discusses the evolution of human intelligence, positing that cultural evolution, rather than biological evolution, has significantly shaped our capabilities. He argues that technologies like writing and language have transformed humans into "Human 2.0," enhancing our cognitive abilities beyond our biological limitations. He touches on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) in society, suggesting that they derive their intelligence from the historical marketplace of ideas. Changizi warns that while LLMs can evolve quickly, their development relies on the freedom of expression that has characterized human discourse. Finally, he introduces his entrepreneurial venture, Venoptics, which enhances color vision for medical professionals and those with color blindness, demonstrating the practical applications of his research. The discussion concludes with Changizi expressing a desire to further explore societal behaviors and mass hysteria in his future work.
