Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Markomas Show, where we're always talking about the decentralized revolution. We're talking about the way the world is changing, and we talk about it through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. As I always say every week, it's always technology that changes the world more than anything. Politics and finance change around technology, and so that is what we are going
to be talking about today. We're going to dig in and we're going to talk about the dark truth about artificial intelligence, about AI, and we're going to talk about it how it is going to disrupt everything, yes, including finance, and yes, including politics. It's gonna disrupt all of those. So what we're going to cover today, we're going to talk about the history. You know, I love history. I'm going to take you back through the history of disruptive technologies.
I'm going to show you that as many things that are new that are actually just old, so we can look at them from a historical lens. It's going to give us a lot more clarity as to what we're seeing and where we're going. We're going to look at some examples like sewing machines and electricity, and of course, yes, the Internet, each of those were disruptive technologies. We're gonna look at something known as Moore's Law and how it
predicts how fast things change. And then we're gonna look at some recent inspiration behind this new tech and one of the biggest dangers and fears that I have of what's going on in the United States in regards to this new technology and where this takes us, specifically for my kids and my grandkids world. So we're gonna talk about all that. It's a big show. I got a very ambitious schedule, so stick with me. I'm gonna talk fast. Don't miss it. Now. If you miss any of it,
don't worry. I got your back. You can check it out on the podcast. Just go to your favorite podcast player and search search the Mark Moss Show. Or you can go onto YouTube and you can watch me and you can listen at the same time. Just search for the channel Market Disruptors and you can watch me. There. Now, one more thing, if I could just ask, please, if you don't mind on your favorite podcast player, if you could just rate and review the show, that'd be greatfully
helpful help show to reach more people. So please, if you could just take what is that a minute out of your day that would be greatly appreciated. All right, so let's dig into this, see how much value we can pack into here. But really let's go into some of the background. Like I said, I want to take you through this historical lens, because you know, those who
don't know history are bound to repeat it. And so while a lot of this seems new and scary, it always seems new and scary, but yet somehow it's not. As a matter of fact, somehow it's actually much better. And so uncertainty is always scared because we're not certain of what that future looks like. But with the historical narrative that I'm about to spin, hopefully that makes you a lot more certain and a lot more confident, less
scared about what's going to happen. So you know, we can look at a lot of this hysteria around what I'm calling like disruptive technology and see that, like I said, it's nothing new, and so disruptive technology uses something. I mean, it's disruptive, So that means it disrupts the old way to create a new way. It's what we call in technology, we call it creative destruct So one new creation destroys the old one, which is how it's supposed to work, right.
So obviously the the best, you know, modern example of that is Kodak, the company that made film for cameras. You know, over a hundred year old company was disrupted by digital photography. And I'm sorry for Kodak, and you know, they were a hallmark of the United States, you know, kind of industrial world, and I'm sorry for the owners of that company and the people that worked at that company, but I'm so much happier that we have digital photos today.
You know, if you were an old school film photographer, your career got disrupted because now with all the tools digital tools that we have, it made something that used to be very skilled and took a very skilled craftsman, and now people can duplicate it very easily with digital photos. So those people, those skilled photographers, and the people making the film, the people developing the film, they all got disrupted.
They all lost their jobs. But me as a consumer, I'm sure you as a consumer as well, agree that most of the people benefited from that. So that sort of sets it up. Let's dig into a little bit of this. One of the things that if we look at as looking at sci fi movies. Sci fi movies are interesting because you know, they predict a lot of things about what the future would have or would hold, but not all those things ever really come true. Part of the reason why is because humans are no good
at imagining the future. Humans can only really imagine better versions of what we have today. So we have cars, well of self driving cars, well flying cars, and they vision things like that, but they don't they can't envision something completely new because in order to get that something new, you have to have new set of building blocks. If you handed me a deck of cards, I could set up like a house of cards, like a TV right, Like I could build like a little lean to out
of a couple of cards. If you gave me a set of las, I could build something completely different. And until I get those new set of building blocks, I can't even imagine building something different. And so that's what this technology does. Now. If we look at some you know, more recent movies in history, we can see, you know, the film Matrix, which is even though it's an old movie, I think it's from nineteen ninety nine, it's now whatever,
twenty four years old. Thing. I'm old. It's an old movie, but you know, it still gets circulated a lot today because of the Red pill Blue pill. You know, in the movie, Neo took the red pill and he knew everything. The blue pill was he'd go back to sleep and didn't know anything. But in that movie. Really we've got to see like VR virtual reality, simulated reality, virtual reality, things like that, even though they didn't really come into
commercial use until just recently. It's still sort of gaming gamings team however, Really that technology started in like the nineteen sixties. Of course, self driving cars, lots of movies have had those. The Minority Report in two thousand and two talked about self driving cars. One thing that's interesting when you think about these sci fi movies that kind of predict the future, they pretty much always predict a dark, dystopian world. It's not good. There's another movie called Demolition
Man with Sylvester Stallone. He was like a police officer and he chased down a criminal. They both got put into like a cryo prison where they were basically frozen, and they came out, I don't know what it was fifty years later or something like that, and they woke up and didn't recognize the world and it was like around Los Angeles, and the world that they show that they woke up into is a world that I don't necessarily want, but it seems to be the world that
we're going into. As a matter of fact, you know, you've all heard the world that Comic Forum talk about in twenty thirty you'll own nothing and be happy. And that's because the world that Comic Form put that out on their Twitter, they put it on their website. And really where that was inspired from was an article written by I believe it was Ida alcin I think it is her name, who's parliament member, I think for the Netherlands or Holland, one of those. I'm sorry, don't quote
me on that. And now she's a big player in the world comic form. But she wrote this long article and it started out by saying, the year is twenty thirty. I own nothing, I have no privacy, and I've never been happier, or something like that. And she goes on to explain this article and talks about how she doesn't own anything and she just you know, goes around and wherever she needs. She just has a bed and she just sleeps there. And when she walks out on the
street to go somewhere. A car just magically appears and takes her to where she wants to go. And there's this whole world where there's no privacy because even her dreams are being read, her brain activity is being fed into this giant AI cloud which always knows what she wants and always serves it up to her at the point that she needs it. And then she goes on to say, I feel bad for those people living outside
the walls who don't have what we have. So she talks about like, really two classes of people, and there's a class of people that live outside of the walls that don't live in this technological she describes it as a utopia. I would describe it as a dystopia. But she describes these people that being outside the walls who don't have that she feels bad for them. But back to The Demolition Man the movie, that's exactly what they showed.
You had this group of people who had no privacy and they lived in this technical dystopia in my opinion, and then you have these people that lived outside the walls, and technically in the movie, they lived underground and they didn't have any of those comforts. But they thought they were living much better. So anyway, very interesting that unfortunately
all these movies kind of show this world. And I think part of it is because when you understand this technology, and more importantly, how this technology can be used not just for us but against us, it's very clear where human nature takes these things. Anyway, if you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Mash Show. We're breaking down the technological revolution. We're going through history and bringing it forward all the way to today and where we're going.
We're using history to tell us what is coming next. I'm gonna take a quick break. I'm gonna co back. We're going to talk about disruptive technology. I'm going to go back for five six hundred years and talk about different types of technology, how people were scared, what happened after that, and so much more. Then we'll get into the types of technology we have now that are disrupting things and the big danger that we have in the United States with this. So I'm gonna take a quick break.
I'll be right back. Don't go away, I'll be right back. All right, Welcome back. If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark mass show, and of course, as always we're talking about the decentralized revolution, how technology is decentralizing the world, how the world is breaking apart driven by technology, but we look at it through politics, finance, and technology. But we're sitting here talking about technology specifically
today and how technology has always changed things. Now we're witnessing another technological revolution right now, which means the course of humanity is going to change. And I think when you look at AI and virtual reality and you know bitcoin, you can see that like the world is changing. And to all those sci fi movies I was talking about before the break, it paints a world that looks a
little bleak. I mean, just what you already know about AI and virtual reality, just extrapolate that to the future and think about what the future it looks like. I'm sure you guys saw the movie Ready Player one. Everybody sort of has that reality or that vision of the of the future being a reality, and it's pretty scary a bunch of people just living inside a box, just plugged into a virtual world all the time. Anyway, I want to go through some history so you can sort
of understand that there's really nothing new. This is just the way it goes. So some disruptive technologies. Some examples of disruptive technologies. If we go back to fourteen fifty and fourteen fifty was a very pivotal year. We had the Protestant Reformation in the fifteen hundreds. But what's set down that reformation up was about seventy years earlier was a new technological revolution or a technology called the printing press. It was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, and the printing press
made books cheaper and widely available. So up until that point, mostly the books that were there were The Bible was the biggest book as it stills today, and it had to be hand transcribed, so there weren't a lot of copies of books because you had to sit there and read it or write it one by one. But now the printing press allowed you to mass produce books, specifically the Bible, which then undermined the authority of the church and state, and so that was disruptive. It changed the world.
Leaders at the time were using the control of information, controlling the narrative to push their agenda. They withheld information, lied about what the true information was in order to exert their power to maintain their grip of power. So that's how technology has been used. And then of course when people got the information for themselves, they said, wait a minute, you're lying to us. That's not what it says, and then they lost confidence in their leaders and it
all fell Remember that, we'll come back to that. Seventeen twelve we had the steam engine, revolutionized the transportation industry, power trains and ships and all of that. We started having travel. It played a very pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution. Of course, we still move stuff around the world the same way today. In the early eighteen hundreds, eighteen thirty, eighteen forties, we had the telegraph and that
allowed instantaneous communication over space, over long distances. So again technology changes the way that we work, organize, and communicate. So because now we could communicate instantaneously across long distances, then we could organize and work differently. So that was a massive disruptor. Now what was the communication channel before that, Well,
it was a mail, snail mail, slow mail, ponymail. Right, you had to literally someone had to ride on a horse with a letter over a long distance, or put it on a ship and send it across the ocean to somebody to get that communication there and now they could have it instantly. So that was very disruptive to those people that were delivering mail. That whole mail industry was disrupted, and of course it was disrupted again with email. Electricity.
Electricity late nineteenth century was pretty interesting and disrupted lots of things. One of which the very first application electricity was the light bulb was like a digital candle. And so what was disrupted, well, candles, As a matter of fact, you can find if you search on the internet, you can find like a letter from the candle Makers Association writing a letter saying that this electricity had to be controlled and censored and shut down because it was disrupting
their candle making business. I mean, candles have been light for five thousand years. What do we need this electricity for? Electricity is dangerous? Why do we need these wires? And why do I need this big transformer in this big box that could electrocute somebody. That's dangerous that it costs too much money. I don't need that in my house. We don't know what the long term effects are of this electricity. Candles have been light for five thousand years, Well,
it disrupted them. We can keep going. It was interesting. You might have heard the term Luddite, the Ludite movement. I wrote a book. I co wrote a book called The Uncommunist Manifesto, my co author Alex Fetzki. By the way, if you don't have that book, you should check it out. It's one some bestseller categories on Amazon. Just searched The Uncommunist Manifesto. It's like a book that you could read
about hour hour and a half. Anyway, in that we referenced the Lueddite, and in full confession, I wasn't really even sure what that meant. I thought that was like a derogatory term that you call people, which it sort of is, but it has a historical grounding. And so in the early eighteen hundreds, the Luedites were a group
of textile workers in England. And the reason why we famously refer to them as like idiots it's their stupid people or whatever, is because they were famous for their resistance to new technologies such as the power loom and the spinning frame. So they were creating textiles, but as soon as these machines came that could make textiles faster, they feared. These machines would make their skills obsolete and cost them their jobs. They were right, they did, but
their response was to sabotage the machines. Their response was to stop this progression. We can't have this new technological innovation because it's gonna take away our jobs. Yes, it did take away their jobs. We saw the sewing machines eighteen fifty. Same thing. The seamstress is all feared for their livelihoods. It's going to replace us. They won't need our manual work anymore. What will we do? It turns out you'll do higher value tasks. So we can see this.
The early nineteen hundreds we had automobiles, and newspapers were talking about how dangerous these automobiles were. Why do we need these things? They're noise, they're dangerous, they're going too fast down these streets. Horse and carts have been transportation for thousands of years. That's tried and true. We know what they are. We don't know what these cars are.
These cars are dangerous. And so the point is is that you can see every single time a new technology is introduced, it disrupts an old way, and those people that are being disrupted don't like it, and so they fight against it, but for the majority of humanity it's beneficial. So I'm sorry for the horse and buggy manufacturers they lost their jobs. But I'm sure we all agree that we're happy that we have automobiles today, right, Maybe not everybody,
not the ESG proponents. They're not happy about it anyway. Now, one of the ways we can see that the Internet has really changed things is one of my favorite books, a book I've talked about many times, and it's called The Sovereign individual I would highly recommend you reading this book, but I'm just going to warn you in advance. It is not an easy read. My book, The Uncommerce Manifesto is like a booklet. Like I said, it's like hour read.
The Sovereign Individuals like I don't know. It's probably a ten or twelve hour read, is my guess, but it's highly worth it. I would recommend it if you really want to know how things change and where we're going. But they talked about in this book, and it was written in like nineteen ninety seven, so it's very prophetic where we're at today. They talked about how this this digital revolution would lead to a world where where the individual would gain more power at the expense of nation states.
The Internet would allow us to now move freely around the world, work from anywhere, communicate without the centralized control of a nation state. And so then as we remove ourselves from their dependency, they lose power. So highly recommend that the sovereign individual and the Internet has created us as sovereign individuals. Now, if you're just tuned in, you're listening to the Mark mass Show, we're talking about the decentralized revolution of the world is changing and how technology
is driving that change. I'm going to take a very quick break, but I'm going to come back and talk about this law that shows us how the world has changed at what speed, and then we'll talk about some of the dangers that we have. I'll be back with more in a minute. Don't go away, bear back. All right, welcome back. If you're just tune in and you're listening to the Mark Mos Show, we've been talking about how
this technology is changing the world. As I talk about each and every week, the decentralized revolution, how the world's breaking apart, and we've I kind of took you through the history and now let's talk more about where this is going. So there's something known as Moore's law. In nineteen sixty five, a person named Gordon Moore, who was
the co founder of Intel. You've probably heard of them Intel microchips, I'm sure, and he observed that the number of transistors on a microchip doubled approximately every two years, while the cost of the computers have So we doubled the production of the chip, doubled the transistors, but reduced the cost in half. So what this basically means is that technology gets faster and it gets cheaper over time. And this is how true. It's been over fifty years,
and this what's been happening. So we have this exponential growth because it doubles, so you go from one to two, but then you go from two to four, and from four to eight, and from eight to sixteen, sixteen to thirty two, and then from six thirty two to sixty four, and like it starts doubling, and those last couple doubles get really really really big. As it starts getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, it allows things to get smaller
and smaller and smaller. Think about like you know, in the sixties when they launched the space shuttle, NASA AD. You know, entire buildings that were a big computer, and today the iPhone is more powerful than that entire building of a computer at the time. So it gets better, faster, more powerful, it gets cheaper, and it gets smaller at
the same time. So that's what's happening. And like I said, today, we have a few new technologies I believe this next technological revolution, and I think those are artificial intelligence and really bitcoin decentralized ledger technology. So we have artificial intelligence, which is really it's a sort of a subset or maybe a continuation of what we've been doing for a while, which is machine learning, where machines can learn and then
they can improve upon themselves. So we're starting to see that. We're starting to see a lot of potential use cases and really disruptive use cases that are happening. Look no further. I mean I'm in southern California, Look no further than up the road for me in Hollywood, and we have actors on strike. We're going to talk about that in a second. But we can see, you know, these algorithms.
We have these social media platforms that recommend content we should watch Netflix movies, weh watch YouTube videos we should watch, and that's sort of like a machine learning. It's an algorithm that learns what I like and it serves those things up to me. Of course, like I said, bitcoin is now a new way for us to send value over time and space that's not controlled by essential entity.
So now I can move packets of value bitcoin like money, and it can be sent from me to you peer to peer without going through a YouTube or a Google or Facebook or something like that. That is very disruptive as well. And so these are things that are changing. These are the things that are upon us right now now. Like I said, there's always potential dangers, or at least there's always perceived potential dangers, because we're scared of what this new technology could do. We're scared of what this
new technology is replacing. And people are scared because their jobs are in danger and they're going to have to learn to do something new. So, for example, in the Industrial Revolution, before the Industrial Revolution in the late seventeen hundreds, everybody worked on farms and in like a cottage industry. Now, when the machines were made, a machine could do the work of five thousand men. But what would those five thousand men do well. Turns out things like science and
medicine higher value tasks. I've been going down to Mexico and Central America for many, many decades down there surfing. They got great waves, and I love the food and the people. And I've been on Nicaragua a couple times. Nicaragua is very, very poor. You still have people getting around on like oxen and carts and stuff like that down there. And where I like to go is about a three hour drive from the airport where you fly in.
And every time I go back, like they're still working on this same road, and it's like years in between, right, Like they're still working, and like they're literally like putting like brick by brick by brick on there, like like hand pavers, right. And I asked the guy, I'm like the guy that was driving back and forth, and I'm like, can't they just get like a tractor in here and just like grade this whole thing and pave it? And he said, yeah, But then what are all these people
going to do? You See, it's always the same thing that we hear all the time. So we have the Luddites who are afraid of being replaced. But then we also have the fearmongers worried about what this could do. Now. Of course, part of it also stems at least you know, part of my concerns today are not so much afraid of the technology, but really my fears revolve around who controls the technology and uses the technology against us. So I want the convenience. I want the benefit of the technology.
I grew up as a kid watching like the cartoon The Jetsons, and they lived in space and they had a robot that would clean the house and they could talk to their house and it would do everything for them. Like I want that, Like what was it an iron Man he had? Like Jarvis? Like I want Jarvis. I want to talk to my house and have to do everything for me. Hey, start my coffee, shut the blind,
turn the t beyond like I want that. What I don't want is Amazon Alexa to do it for me, because Amazon listens to all my conversations and steals my data and weaponizes it against me. So I want the technology. I want the convenience of the technology, the benefit of it. I don't want it used against me. But unfortunately that's the battle that I see. Now. Some of this we can see again. Going back to these movies show us
where this inevitably goes. One of the most famous books and examples of this is George Orwell's nineteen eighty four, which was written I don't know what is that seventy eighty years ago, before any of this technology was there. However, if you go read it today, it's like, this is what happened. I was flying last week and the guy sitting behind me had the book and I was like, Oh, that's a great book. And then he's like, oh, yeah, it's scary. I said, I know. It was not meant
to be an instruction manual. It was meant to be a warning, but it seems like it was instruction manager. They've done that exactly, and some of the things they talked about in the book are the things that we have today, such as facial recognition, data mining tools and basically what China has done. China has created a surveillance state using a network of surveillance cameras everywhere, facial recognition technology, data collection, and our own US companies are on board
with that. You know, Google, Facebook do the same thing. I just flew in from space a week ago, and when I went through customs. I'm a frequent traveler, so I have a Global Entry so that means I'm in a database and I'm approved, which means I get through the border faster because I've taken the time to go through this extra screening. And when I went through Global Entry, I didn't even have to pull my passport out as I walked through the line. It just grabbed my face
and approved me and allowed me to go through. Was pretty interesting. But this is the technology that was talked about nineteen eighty four. It's being used, it's being weaponized against people in China, and we're having it today. In the movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise, there was a lot of things in that movie that have come to pass, specifically retinal scanning, which we see all over the news
today with this world coin. We'll talk more about that later, but they had something called pre crime, and basically the premise of that movie was that we were going to try to catch people before they did the crime, so then they they didn't do the crime. Problem is, in the United States, we have something called a rule of law, this a pesky rule of law, and that is that you're innocent until proven guilty. So just because you potentially
might could maybe one day potentially do something criminally. It doesn't mean you are a criminal today. But the purmise of that movie is that we could catch him before they did that. But now we see that. Now we see predictive policing software like preadpole. It uses historical crime data to predict where crimes are likely to occur. Right, it raises all types of ethical concerns, But yet we're
seeing it. We're seeing it being used in LA for parking tickets, We're seeing it being used for predicting driving patterns. You know, recently in New York they managed to identify and apprehend a drug trafficker seemingly by magic, but it wasn't magic. Instead, it was through AI and surveillance and they were able to find him and apprehend him. So we're seeing this case after case after case of it
being used against us. Of course, like I said, China social credit CORSE system is the biggest case of that yet. But I want to talk about where this is going. I want to talk about some of the policies that are being put into place that I think are very very dangerous, specifically dangerous because of like being the luedite preventing this progress from happening that we need it. If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Maas Show.
Of course, as always talking about the way the world is changing, as it's breaking apart through the lens of politics, finance, and technology, but we're honing in on the technology piece today. Somebody to come back. I'm going to talk about some of the policies, some of the problems, some of the dangers there that I see, and where I think this is going. You don't want to miss it. I'll be back with all that and more in just a second. Don't go away. I'll be your backup. All right, welcome back.
If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Maas Show, and we're talking about disruptive technology. We're talking about how the world is changing, and we're talking about
how technology is driving that change. And of course we've been recapping all the way back from the fourteen hundreds and recapping all the technology that has change the world, how people have always been fearing it and fighting it, and how it's actually been a net positive, and how we're witnessing a new technological revolution and people are also fearing and fighting it, and if history is any indication, it's going to be a very good thing for us after we get over the fear. But the problem is
one thing I would say real quick. First of all, if you've missed any of that, you missed a lot. But go catch me on the podcast. Just search the Mark Mas Show and a favorite podcast player, or go to YouTube under Market Disruptors and you can watch me there. You can tune into that. But what i'd say is that one thing is that the world has changed. And of course you obviously know that, but what I mean more specifically is we live in a much different time.
So for example, you know, when the Industrial Revolution happened, everybody lived on the farms in the cottage industry. And then when the factories were made and we had machines that could do the work of five thousand men, it displaced a lot of jobs. It did when the car, when electricity came, it displaced a lot of jobs. All the candle makers were put out of jobs. When the automobile was made, it displaced a lot of jobs. All the buggy makers were put out of work. So technology
always displaces, it always gets rid of it. Destroys cbstruction, It destroys those old ways. What do those people do once they lose their jobs, Well, it turns out they do something else. They learn a new skill and they do something else. Computers are going to put everyone out of work, Well they put up. They put a lot of people out of work, but they created a bunch of new jobs. The reason why I think we're a little bit different today is because I'm trying to think
of the best way to say it. I'm just gonna say it. I'll be blunt, because we have a bunch of people that are uncapable, incapable of taking care of themselves. We have created a welfare state, and we've created a society that continually takes blame away, or actually say takes responsibility away, takes agency away from individuals and tells them it's not your fault. You can't get ahead. You're gay, you're you're a woman, you're a minority, or technology, whatever
it may be, it's not your fault. There's nothing you can do. You need me, the state, to now come in and take care of you. I'll give you welfare, I'll give you a house, I'll give you food, I'll give you now it's called UBI universal Basic income. So now people are arguing that we need universal basic income because AI is going to replace so many jobs. There won't be enough jobs to do, and so what will
these people do. Well, we must give them UBI. That means the government should just pay everybody to not work and that will solve the problem. But you see in times past, when the industrial revolution took out the farmers and the candlemakers were lost their jobs and the buggy makers lost their jobs, we didn't have that welfare state, and so people had to go learn a new skill. Like I said, computers got rid of lots of jobs, but they created lots of jobs. AI is going to
get rid of lots of jobs. It's going to create a lot of jobs. That's how it works. The problem is is that people have to go shoot, I should learn a new skill, and that's going to take some effort, and I don't know if I want to do effort. If the government's just going to pay me to do nothing, then I should just do that. And so I do believe we're in a different place today, although it's always been the case, we're in a different place to day because people the way that society is set up today.
We don't have people that take personal responsibility because society tells them not to, which is why unfortunately you have people like you know, Jordan Peterson or Andrew Tate being demonized when they tell people to be strong, take personal responsibility. It's up to you to make your life better. I was just a couple of days ago, I was out in Arizona in Phoenix, Arizona with Robert Kiyosaki, and I met with another girl afterwards, this girl Anne, who I'm
going to have on the show here soon. Anne Atkinson. Shout out to Anne and she worked for Arizona State University and she hosted an event at Arizona State University called Health, Wealth and Happiness. She'd been there for a couple years. She's a very successful business person, and she
decided to now since she's achieved some success. She was working at her alma mater to run business programs for free to help students make it in the real world, and she would teach things like personal responsibility and how to use credit and things like that. So she decided to have this event at Arizona State University called Health, Wealth and Happiness. Oh my gosh, how dare you teach
people about those things? And this school came out and just raged against this, tried to shut down the event. Boycotted it like thirty seven out of like forty five something like that of the school board. Faculty wrote letters trying to stop it. They had protests trying to block it. How dare you talk about health, wealth and happiness. Wow, that's scary. That's where we're at. I'm going to have her on We're going to talk about that more in detail. But anyway, so this is where the world is at.
And what's scary about this is we have at a time like the Luddites, how stupid they look. Today the seamstresses looks stupid trying to stop the sewing machine. We have the same thing today, and even worse, we have politicians in the United States that are making laws and rules and regulations. They're luod Heites, and they're so old they don't even know what they're talking about. So I'm sorry if you're a great grandparent, I'm sorry if you're
seventy or eighty. I don't mean it offensively, but you know, when you're eighty nine years old or eighty four years old, you just don't understand technology like a eighteen or twenty year old, you just don't. The eighteen and twenty year old just grew up with it. Like my daughter just went around and she was a kid, every screen was a touch screen. She thought she would always try and touch screens, so that she just thought that's how it was.
So they grow up with it. It's native for them, and when you're eighty, it's just not and you just haven't spent the time, not that you're not capable of learning, just haven't spent the time doing it. But the problem is is that we have our leaders that are that old who don't understand this technology, the lud heightes, and they're trying to pass laws to prevent it from happening. And that is what's going to affect my kids and my grandkids. The policy making a round disruptive tech is
the problem. And when the Internet happened, they actually passed laws, literally, the US passed laws to allow the Internet to happen, and they gave it immunity from lawsuits and taxes and things like that so it could flourish and grow. But now they're taking the opposite stance. Now they're trying to pass laws to stop it instead of passing laws to allow it, or they pass laws to prevent other people from stopping it. Now they want to pass laws to
stop it. In the United States, the Vice President Kamala Harris, the person who literally can't even put a coherent sentence together. Literally, And I'm sorry, but watch some of our videos you know what I'm talking about. She's in charge of AI she's the AI zar. Like the person who can't even put a sentence together. We have, you know, President Biden who's eighty years old and who can't even walk up a set of stairs and can't even put a sentence together,
like literally. And I just spent almost four weeks in Europe traveling, and I can tell you what the world thinks. They are not brainwashed like Americans. They all understand that we have a president that can't speak, that's lost his mind. And it's sad. It's sad my grandfather did and it's sad to watch. But that's where we're at. But it's
not just them. Yesterday we had Mitch McConnell, who's one of the top people in Congress, making a statement, a public statement, and right in the middle of the statement just froze up. He just stopped talking and all of a sudden just like lost his mind. I don't know if he had a stroke, like literally while it was happening or what. He just stood there like a train was about to hit him with his eyes wide open, and they had to come grab him and take him
off the stage. We have Dianne Feinstein. She's ninety years old. She disappeared, nobody knew where she was. She was in the hospital. Well, she needs to step down from her post. They brought her back and you can see videos of them wheeling her in her wheelchair, and she has no idea where she's at or what's going on, no idea, no idea at all. But yet they're pretending like weekend
at Bernie's, like she's still there. And there was a clip yesterday of them holding a vote and they said, say I so they told her, and she just repeated what they said. She had no idea what she's voting on. Mitch McConnell eighty one, Joe Biden eighty, Nancy Pelosi eighty three, Maxine Waters, Head of the Financial Committee eighty four, Chuck Grassley eighty nine. Dianne Feinstein ninety years old. I mean, we got you know, klau Schwab eighty five, and these
are the ones passing these rules. And that's a big problem, a big problem. So certainly we need term limits. Certainly we need the average age of US fortune five hundred CEO is fifty seven years old. Fifty seven. We need to have a real serious conversation in this country about that because we have very disruptive technology coming. It's going to change the world in more ways than we know it. It's going to be very dangerous in the wrong hands. It would be very beneficial for most of humanity if
we do it right. However, with the policymakers that we have in place, the led Heites of today, it could be very dangerous. I'd love to know what you have to think about that though, because it's a big deal now. Like I said, I'd love to hear what you have to think about this episode. Leave me a review, Please send me a comment on social media at one Mark Moss, ask me your question, tell me what you're thinking. I'd love to connect with you. And that's what I got. Thanks so much for listening.
