341- Do Not Let ChatGPT Turn You Into A Dummy with Mohamed Nabil

In this podcast episode, host Elias welcomes Muhammad, an Egyptian author and consultant, to discuss ethics in AI, education, and the potential merits of a global government. The conversation begins with Muhammad explaining his background, including his work in social activism and his publications on topics like populism and AI debates. The core discussion focuses on AI in education: Muhammad argues that current education systems overly rely on memorization, and AI should be used to enhance critical thinking rather than replace it. The host shares a story of a professor who embedded an irrelevant "Madagascar" question in an assignment to catch students using AI carelessly, resulting in 90% failing—a cautionary tale about intentional AI use. Both agree that banning AI outright is ineffective, as students will find workarounds, and instead emphasize teaching ethical, thoughtful engagement with technology. They also broaden the discussion to global awareness, stressing that local issues are tied to international events, such as supply chain disruptions, climate change, and pandemics. Muhammad and Elias advocate for paying attention to world affairs to make informed decisions, whether for travel or understanding economic shifts. The episode underscores the importance of freedom of speech, open debate, and being open to differing opinions, while warning against intellectual laziness and blind reliance on AI. Ultimately, they call for a more interconnected, critical-thinking approach to education and global citizenship.

Welcome everyone to politically high tech with your host Elias. I have a brand new guest here. You know the history of this podcast. We have old guest, new guest. I want some new something else on the front and trust me he's definitely gonna bring some of us to be interesting. I mean, I'm just gonna say is politically I know some people on the right they think one global government is super evil and I gotta take over and all this stuff and maybe some people left. We want government, one more government is a good thing it organizes everything control be centralized. We'll see, but this is more for you audience you have your opinions me as a host I just want to explore what the guest does and all that you have your comment section and we'll express your support or anger towards that freedom of speech. I mean, I don't you know, and I don't you know try to bridge that or cut that off as much as I can sometimes it's tempting. I don't you know I want to at least be show the good part of American values for freedom of speech because I do support freedom of speech and I support any organization that support freedom of speech. So with that out of the way let me introduce our new guest here okay and we're gonna talk about mostly ethics and AI and why the heck one. World single global government can be a good thing okay or let's get his opinion of it I don't want to assume too much okay and he is an author you know he just doesn't write about AI right. But critical thinking and all that and I'm going to read some of his work right now he's author of the bachelors of the Egypt novel and light in populism I like that and light in populism because stupid populism is not a good thing. I'll tell you that right now. Reflections on the new second of the pandemic I do have my criticism so that. And also has is if you would chat to be T. Oh that is interesting global justice novel he has a shirt shameless plug it's I support shameless plug ins it's a good thing. And and then we also have ideas that survive. A.I. D.O.P. and that stands for AI debates on one's publication set minds free that's a good thing. Humanities money and truth is sexy I don't know about that truth is a nightmare free but a those are the ties of his books because we want to make truth sexy so more people could you know be truthful and make you're trying to seek truth instead of just being afraid of it or. Challenge it because all it hurts my feelings or challenges my personal narrative we're grownups people we got to do better than that okay and we have to be able to talk to people with different opinions okay because if you can you're not an adult you're just an old child in my opinion an old child are never good looking okay it's creepy so be a grownup okay at least be a grownup all right so. You know and we're talking about a ethics and education publication and I'm interested in learning about that because we do need ethics and AI because. A.I. is acting up and in one of my last episodes I talk about how a eyes act on its own invading other a.I. based websites we definitely ethics we definitely some guardrails there so with that out of the way let's welcome Muhammad the bill. Thank you for having me here or nope yeah no problem so what do you want the listeners and the viewers to know about the start off with that. Well I'm a freelance market consultant I was ordered a prestigious award back in 2022 in Dubai I have a background in social activist my one of the founders of all of the harasses campaign. It's a campaign of my first touch for her husband and each and I also slash slash with three main business was my philosophy I created a variety which transferred. Hey I got to know some of the patients I could cause my life not for the business of any better than the communication and I'm I'm I'm trying to get the cake for the service of. I want to go to government to be ruled by the low low. That is a heck of a lie look I respect that I could barely manage and the one or two days that that's enough for me I'm just going to focus on freedom speech and does that in that city for one I mean one global government that's very ambitious right there on I don't want to work out you know I might we don't have to work so I was especially when it's manifested because the way the world is operating into big chaotic I mean we all could agree with that. It's a matter where you're in the world even the America chose America's not immune to it. We got an interesting on leader let's just say that of course a lot of the chaos so rather you like Trump or not I don't matter to me as he he's of course of something chaos for sure. So I'm just going to make this a broad question the search is made as a topic what would be good ethical use of AI on education not for free to explain that to my own audience. The final that is what I can education system around anything that's going to be done very I don't know. And this issue continues to grow over time as these tools become smart to do some sort of problem by the required to submit AI into such a done with which a sign and and the other is that that's a lot of the way people others do so that's why the stuff that I did that's going to be a lot of work and that's what I'm going to do. Then teachers that I am more the fundamental content and there is the other side that needed within all levels was why the education system. So let's shake let's make a shift. Well then the education system from a memorized life of stuff to learn and help understand things and how to come up with a concrete baby. How I run on I think this is what I'm going to come down on the moon and then the great I learned I'm saying that you will then then the education system. I like what I heard there because that's been a big issue I could confidently say is within the American education system. Especially when I was in school everything was about memorization just memorize the whole bunch of facts you're good to go. Well we all know yeah you can memorize a whole bunch of facts but if you all know how to think or apply knowledge of what you learn in the effective way you're you're just I'm going to say this very mainly the very mean way but you're just you're just a person who can memorize but you still kind of a dummy because that using the formation you don't properly. Yeah I can memorize a bunch of facts. Oh yeah I think it was born this day I can remember all the capitals sees that's great but how you going to apply that to life. For example how you're going to travel they won't be the best route of getting there. That's how you you know apply what you know I you know and of course create debates which are like that because you're having people challenging different ideas and that's why I kind of said it in the intro instead of just. Oh I like Muhammad because he's just different and he just makes me feel stupid not we anything how you know how because you're not really thinking or you know or you just realize your argument was not good to begin with but you got caught instead so I like that because people needs to think better debate better and I'm sure you're where social media you have a bunch of social media a lot of people say very dumb things. And some get challenged and they some get upset because look once you put your self social media you will be criticized or praise depending on your audience or your opinions or your philosophy if they have a philosophy somewhere to to dumb to have a philosophy. I'm just be honest or if they do it's going to be challenged because some people have different opinions and that's fine to me that's something that's it's messy it's chaotic but at least on there's some exchange there's some exchange of ideas there people need to be comfortable doing that and I think I'm sure some of the world as lost up a definitely America lost that it was able to debate those with different opinions get passionate maybe they're loud and then we can reset and go back to be friends or after that so just oh you're the devil because you're just different and you like the certain person so that was going on particularly in America so yeah that's I think that's good education but and I like to just say one example before that you continue about how one professible very smart catching suit is using AI unethically. He he said he has list of questions, right? I think it was about politics. But he put in invisible text saying, and it says, what will you do in Madagascar? It didn't relate to the assignment at all, but he wants to catch to see if students are using AI thoughtfully, intentionally, as if they're just copy and paste. And if asked majority, just copy and paste, have AI, a chat GPT, whatever they use to generate the answer, and the professor failed 90% of them. Because the AI answered everything, including the Madagascar question. That's how the professor knew the students were cheating using AI. And I set this over, over again, if you're going to use AI, be intentional. Don't let AI lead you to blindness. And you know, this is why this organ upstairs called the brain is getting weaker and weaker, rely on AI for everything. AI is a good tool. I use it for art. I'm bad at art. Politics, I'm not using AI. I have studied enough politics and know what AI is giving me lies. I said, that's not true. That's not accurate. And I could point out another source. You have to still think critically when using AI, because AI can give you the wrong information. It's not the perfect intelligent being. And this is what I've been saying. So if you're going to use AI, use it, intentionally, be smart about it. Don't just copy, paste, be lazy, do it blindly. Because you won't get caught. And I'm happy that those students failed because they were being lazy using AI as the easy way out. And I'm happy, those unethical use of AI was being exposed. So that's all I'm going to say about the A.V. I was going to add about ethical use of AI in education. You're right. Because especially in America, I was going to say it's real quick. It was bad AI, bad AI, bad AI. A lot of education institutions. It was panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, panic, it was just a knee jerk reaction. I mean, I was a lot of American education. It was the high school. I didn't even apologize. There was this, bad, bad, bad, and if they use it, they're going to fail. I said, well, JATGBT is increasingly being integrated and connected to our lives. So I don't think banning is such a good idea. And there's ways around it. And there's ways to dance around it. Students are not stupid. They may be lazy and unethical, but definitely not stupid. So they're going to dance around those bands. And how you can get high-cutes out if they, if the response came from AI. So that's all I want to say. All right, let me keep quiet. I want to see if you got anything else you want to add to the ethical use of AI education, because I can keep going with this. So getting back to AI debates from one's publications, I just want to make it clear for your audience. It's about publishing something, then copying it to feeding it into an AI tool. And then asking the tool to decide the content, engaging it back and forth to the organization and publishing it. So I'm trying to have that transferred with them 24 hours. So it's about getting into a great big day. I allow it to close when you know how it can happen. You may have online help us or letting you show them your own audience by the time you're to do something. Oh, you know, I assume that at the tools for that. Not just, you know, copy paste. I got my information. That's it done. No, then that's, you know, that's just lazy AI use. So I'm that, that's good. People follow this, man. Okay, you should make a smarter way. AI. Okay, follow them. Follow them. All right, just, you know, and like, he's not the most salesy kind of guy. So I know a few of you say, oh, I guess that's too salesy. He's not. He's more of an author to philosopher. Okay, he's not really a salesman. But you can sell his products. Okay, man, you know, and if it's good, it's good. Even from Egypt, you know, even though I talk most of our American politics, but I don't mind getting involved geoplitically because we are, we are very integrated. Wherever happens, one country is going to affect us indirectly or directly. So this is saying, oh, no, I only care about America. Forget Egypt, forget Russia, forget China. I don't care. No, that's not smart. They could be, you know, hacking us or they're doing something to disrupt our economy. You need to pay attention. This is what you know, it affects. We are very intricate and we have we have a very global economy. Okay, or rather, rather you acknowledge that or not. So this is why I allow people from all the countries. Yeah, yeah, I focus mostly American politics, American education, but you know what? We're so interconnected. We got to internet that we can't just be, oh, only America, only America. You can focus on America, but you know, you, I think it's smart to pay attention. What's going on around the world is what you can because you wonder why some product prices go up. Global chain disruptions, affects your shopping people. You see how connected to your daily lives make you care about it. Oh, why is my banana cost $20? Well, the banana plantation got blown up and Venezuela, okay? For example, why do you think banana prices went up because that happened. Yeah, you know, that happened in America, but it happened in another country and they ship bananas to the America, okay? This is why you should pay attention to what's going on around the world. Is that a plan? Why am I being added $40? Why is this happening? I don't go. I don't care about Venezuela. Well, that's why they bombed the plantation Venezuela as a hypothetical example. It didn't really happen. So compound people, let me give you a hypothetical example. Why you should pay attention to a global global that's everyone's in a while. Okay, so let me just some and let me just end that right there. I'm saying this being a box in the video on your silos. Anything else you want to add for ethics, ethical use of AI in education? No, nothing, but I'd like to point to what you just mentioned about getting about politics from other countries. We have common challenges. We have these supply chains are global, we just mentioned. We have billionaires, we have trade, we have trade, we have a global issue. We have climate change, we have a global issue. We have a recurring pandemic, a substantial recurring pandemic in the niche future. And that's a global issue. So we need to care for rich people, we need to care about what happens around the world. So if you're a new citizen, you have to get a global topic in your future, live in the niche, you have to get a global topic in the US, maybe a real world. Oh yeah, no, absolutely. And another thing, and this is something that America does has to be better, the world's paying attention to us. Sometimes we are so blind, we don't pay attention to other countries because, ah, who cares? Oh, they don't got a famous pop star from there. Oh, I don't care for that country. I'm really okay. So this is why we only care about South Korea because they got a boy band as super popular. That's wonderful. You know, we pay attention only to certain countries. Berger has to get better at paying attention to going around the world. And me too, I realized my blind spot, I'm just going to be quick about this. I wasn't paying attention to Africa nearly as much as I shall. Pay attention to all the other continents, but not Africa. I said, wait, I need to get that fixed because I'm sure they have things going on. So people want to travel to an African nation. Be careful because someone will allow an Americans. This is why you should pay attention to it. So just say, oh, I'm going to go to, this is hypothetical example, not based on real life. I want to go to Nigeria, but what if the military evasion happened there and they now allow Americans and then once the Americans get there, they're going to kidnap them. You see, I connected to travel, so being a lot of people do. And so they're just making the academic argument because I know academic arguments and goes to one ear through the other. People don't want to pay attention. Shut up nerd. They don't want to hear it. But if I connect it to real life, then people will start paying attention. And hopefully you do pay. But not my audience, my audience are intelligent. You're fine. I'm just criticizing the normal simple 10, the normal, you know, where they upstairs are either dormant or damaged, you know, and this is why you should pay attention to you. Just why even though this is mostly market pockets, this why bring guests, if you feel for other countries, because we need to know what's going on. Like Iran, Iran, Iran, they go to great crisis and Egypt. Oh, yeah, they, you know, that's that's the last of connection to what's going on with them. It's, you know, Israel, they heard next to each other right there. So yeah, they know they have displacement people and all of that. And yeah, but once you pay attention to that, should you be obsessed with it? No, don't do that now. You, you will be mentally ill. I just get enough facts to make intelligent decisions. That's my point. I said just saying, I don't care. Oh, I don't care what's going on in Ukraine. This is a bother me. But yet, I think we in Ukraine went up for the last couple of years because those areas have been bombed. Global chains apply example again. You buy bread, right? Yes. So I'm connected to real life basic stuff that you do. Okay. So that's all I'm going to say about that. So I want to say about that because this is why we, I, I, even our focus on America, but I do pay attention to going on globally because some of that impact could travel here, rather indirect or very rarely directly directly to be price increases. Or why you're not allowed to travel to a certain country. Those things do matter. So just be blind. All those just be going there stupid. Not anyone's going on. You get kidnapped because you pay attention to that hypothetical invasion that happened in Nigeria from another African nation. Remember hypothetical, not real life example. I'm sure you check the news and I can get any of that, but this is why I got a pay attention. And that's really going on where the car Faisou and I forget to other nations that they have militarists kicking out the French. Any American troops, they want to be in their own, they didn't want to deal with the colonizers. That's more than real example what's going on. I got to check myself dates on that. I've been fully updated on that issue, but they were pushing back against those people. We looked through forces from not violently for the most part, but definitely for France and the United States. So you know, travel to those countries, just be a big careful. That's it. So she you know, like, and how low are you set? The pandemic, let me focus on that. I'll go to a country where they have an epidemic unless you want to get sick. I don't know why you want to get sick. There's something wrong with you there. If you want to do that, but I'm sure most bills you don't, you know what, you know what diseases are going on around the world. Because let's be honest, you know, America does not have the best health care system in the world, but there are some countries that have a far worse. For worse, who comes to healthcare and containing, you know, the pandemic. So this is why you should pay attention, pay attention. And me, I welcome guests from from anywhere. So once they've just wanted to be in the podcast, that's only a limit. Okay. That's only limitation. Now, if that won't be the podcast and it's not like, dude, there's no conversation. That's a, that's simple. And you know, they have something good to add. You know, I have people from India and people from, I didn't have you from Iran. You know, and I have guests from, of course, Europe, few in South America, India, yeah, I'm almost touching the world little by little. Good. I think I just need one from some like Eastern, I think I need more for Eastern Asia, but I want you to get there. We'll see. Now, and we wrap that up. You have eight days you want to have before I move to the next topic. Yeah. Let's move to the next topic. Okay. Okay. So this is about AI, ethical use on publication. You're a mentor. You have you organized a group for that. Well, be a good ethical AI use. Can I just copy it, pay, say, I don't know, Shakespeare and just claim is my own. I did it. Well, I think back, back to the point of the idea of which is AI debates on non-spobification. I think it can have a revolutionary impact on education, obligation, science, social sciences and humanities. And policymaking as well. So then publishing changes that relationship changes, I know that between the old and the old ones. I'm not asking you to blind the access to the draft somehow my conclusion. I'm thinking you can really drive into conclusion with all of them. I'm going to go on and on and on. So you can pick your side of the room. You can call your opinion. Another statement, opinion based on the comment provide. So that's the main thing that's that's how you say I think he was in the parliament. You see, look at that. He's a very reasonable man here. You I don't want to see in the comments. Like you say, oh, he's forcing me to think his way. You're either trolling or you're just being straight up eating that out. Definitely flag that comment. That's definitely not true at all. Okay. You form your own conclusions. Okay. You just set that on what defend the guests on that one. Okay. May disagree how he does it. That's fine. Again, it's good to exchange ideas here. You know, and so I cannot copy Shakespeare with the AI and just claim it and just say that I'm the best writer in the world. Okay. I just do that. No. No, I think that's possible. But it's not that. But no. It's pretty easy. I'll keep using air choice for those price. You already know that the phone trade from from you. You already know that it would just got a mix of bits and pieces of the. That's the usual. That's the trade. So you would be shaking here at the same time. I'm sick again. George or you'd be a combination. It's because of nothing. So it's just me. You know, it's impossible for that. This is the moment of peace to come up with something that creates. I said earlier, use what's here about this. I've found out about something beautiful coming up on something really crazy when you make a huge difference. No, for my own. I use it. I use it across all of my publications for the paper because it's almost the sum of human knowledge. Because of the use that that's that is the train. It's a cable. I'm going to provide it. It's it's capable of run again. You want to see this. I called out. I was mean. So this is kind of a problem. But I don't use it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That has made my mind. No, no, no. He brought up a good point. He used my own point against me. He used to upstairs. I didn't think using the upstairs would be lazy. It took the easy way out. But I was true though. That's very old. Just me just copy works that just put my name and lies Martin and so they're Shakespeare. I said, no, no, I did it. I made Shakespeare relevant. I should get the credit. He's dead. He's been dead hundreds of years ago. He don't need the money I do. I'm sure you get to hear arguments like that. That would be serious. Now, yeah, it's definitely on the ethical use. I mean, you just really just take his songs idea and doing that. And I like what you said there because that's not even I'm sure it's not even being thought of enough. So should globally definitely not in America. We use them. We use a facility artistic crap. This is beyond it. Some of the funny, some of you know, some is good at entertainment, but definitely not thoughtful. Creative. Use it creatively. Come up something original. That's. And I don't think AI is good for that. It's just it's just taking aggregating and meaning taking a whole bunch of sources already existed on the internet. So definitely want to be original. I guess you could use AI, but just be very careful how you use it right there. I just say it's create something you're wrong and maybe that to see if there's something else that is similar to what you're doing. Maybe something like that or just research if there's something similar or your idea is very unique. It was unique all for it. Maybe it could work or maybe so unique that it might fail. But you know what, give it a try. You at least know the answer. It was very good. It was a failure. And don't take the failure personally. I know it's easier said that done. I used to take a failure very personally. I just always worked with dumb. You know, whatever. But if you want to be original creative, I don't think AI should be the main tool to use. I also use your own upstairs again. Make connections and even challenge yourself. Doesn't make sense. Would it be good? And then if you're brave enough, go ask the people you trust. If you think it's a good idea or not, we'll have a sample group of people to say, oh, that sounds interesting. I mean, you know, there's one title book I got and I just said it's a random person. And don't be offended religious people. I think I have a provocative title for one book. I said, I think God is the biggest trope. That'll be the type of the book. Oh, okay. What do you mean by God is the biggest trope? I said, he allows all these bad things to happen. And he wants me to be strong about it. Can he just make those problems go away? That'd be one example, right? You know, some people say, oh, what's the interesting idea? I have to feel so good. That's everything's going to get some people talking. People who are atheist might like that book. And people who's anti-God would like that book. But the people who are Christians are going to think they are enemy of God. So no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't. Well, you see that's the kind of tension that we want. People debate among each other. They think they know me until they read the books. Oh, okay. There's one more complicate. He's not saying God is bad. We just saying that God allows us to happen because of ABC. You know, that's more religious example. You know, to be creative, yeah, you're deaf. You have to use, you have to use your upseers, your brain people. You should break it. Be creative about it. It doesn't make sense. That it yourself, test it yourself. Be critical of yourself and then see the positives of it. That's all I'm going to say about that. We make a publication. Make sure it's not something that's too similar because someone was real established. Did it a long time ago. They have the audience and they're going to most likely keep that audience. Please try something original so you could build your audience and then let's see what happens from there. You can be super successful or it might be a fail, but at least find out if you're brave enough to do that. And they've shown you willing to have enough risk tolerance, meaning you have enough money to say, "Okay, I'm willing to lose 10 grand." So, if it's not going to be a successful product, make sure you have risk tolerance built up into it. Because if you want to lose a single dollar, then don't do it. Because it requires risk. New ideas are risky. I'm not saying that's not going to save up that error. Or anything else you're going to add about AI ethical use and publications. No, that's fine. That's good to the next point. Okay. All righty then. So, we're going to get to the very interesting. Some of you in America is going to call it the one evil world government and some's going to think, "Oh, it could be a good idea." Okay, let's see if it's good for global justice. I mean, that's certainly a debate. Maybe one world government could be a great idea. Or maybe it's a very bad idea because, you know, so people like, "Oh, you're ignoring this part of the world, but you focus it on the other part of the world." You know, what are the criticisms you may have? So, do you think the one world government is a good idea? Yes, why? Well, I believe it's the main solution for the problems we mentioned earlier. We've got climate change, we've got billionaires greed, and we've got potentially the current pandemics. So, we can text billionaires out of existence by establishing the state of the state, the thing that global government can accomplish when the piece is. And definitely, I want to make sure that the system is combined with this. We can establish, introduce, business human rights, or try to spell the data, and also to clean all the data. And then, we can also, in the future, we can also create a new system. And then, we can also create a new system. Maybe we have this collaborative government that focuses on the common of the people. Maybe you can be such a great thing. And this is definitely more the left-leaning people of America will definitely support. Definitely more the right wing is right-wing. Oh, no, no, no, I want focus on America. I don't want no global foreign thing ruining me. I love my guns. I go try to take my gun away. I will blow them to smithereens. I mean, you need to get killed, or at least start into. And so that I don't know. This is one of the few things I'm just going to really say. I don't know because I know the good and the bad, how government control works. It could be great. It just has to be executed, I guess. But I, you know, that's what I'm going to say about that. Maybe it could maybe this could be a solution. Maybe this maybe. This is one of the few times I don't really have a strong, strong opinions. Let that chicken now because I see pros and cons already. I'm clearly, you know, but on any, you know, anything, I know I got to follow a question. What will you say to the detractors who thinks your idea is crazy? Let them speak. For instance, you can, you said you have some pros and cons in your mind. You can tell me a few of the cons you have. The cons I have, for example, will be one about how resources will be controlled. For example, and I'm just going to make this up a long way. And I've seen this with the European government, particular. They got all this fish. I think it was definitely not great, but in my details, it was going to mix up here. They had this fish, right? But it was only reserved for another country. But yet the country that captured that fish, they need that fish. So we got to part. So I can see a part already kind of issue that I could foresee right away. Because they're already happy then, you know, European is already debate on that. And some people don't like European because they have a tight control on resources. You know, it's made for that particular country, but that country that gathered the fish, they don't have rights to make. Because it's going to another country. So how can one part of the ties needs for that? Because local people are going to need a lot quicker than I don't know. And I'm just going to compare to maybe another nation that just needs to, I don't know, because they have a fish shortage. Where it is, how can one part of the ties that is that's definitely going to be a problem? Well, instead of allowing representative democracies like the EU or the current system of the US, we can rely on direct democracy, direct democratic participation through system assemblies. So we'll have a fight with local system assemblies. Your system assembly will be 10 minutes away from their own by far. And then we'll have this system assembly. Co-oprating together come up with global solutions to global issues. And they can have their own local education and cultural issues that are related to the global loan to the global field. And this way you can intrude 100% of that is really sources belong to 100% of the people. I see some different there and I think that's interesting. People, not super governments or organizations, I've collected people. That's such an idea. Maybe it could work. And let me just say, let me just challenge that a bit. What if people cannot reach to that agreement and say, no, my country, I gather all this darn fish needs it tomorrow. While some of the other people were saying, oh, oh, but my country has a shortage of fish. And they need any need this one may stand this is a foreign nation, but they part. But how can that be addressed? Cause you know, as much as we like people to be re-control whatever, but there are going to be many different opinions and definitely many arguments, which I'm sure you're fine with that. I guess they're told me, how can give me 90, how that could be? So like, this is like local party versus, you know, geopolitical party. I'm sure it's going to come up quite a lot. The priority. Okay, so forget about the country. The countries won't exist. There will only be distrust. So you may say, I'd like to prioritize the interest of my own district over the interest of the globe for certain resource wishes, like to mention it. So in this case, the priority goes to the maximum benefit for humanity. For instance, we said that we are going to guarantee, chances of access to clean water and food as basic human rights. Not every place we live right now has access to clean water. So this problem is this issue is resolved through immigration or through providing access, whatever the existence, whatever they need. So the basic level of human dignity and maintain all over the place. And then we can, a few more. Okay, I like that. Okay, well, they're don't know the country. So I think if that correction, you're going to be districts. All right, see, I see. You see, I have to think, well, most people come up with new ideas. They cannot replace what's already established. And I was just point out this example right now. I was assuming country still. Correcting me very graciously say districts. Okay, that could still kind of work because we're going to take some adjustment. You know, like all changes does. I mean, if you only have just been, you know, it's not really a change. So I appreciate that correction because it's one world government ready. All these borders and all that. The only border we got is really oceans and mountain tap this point. You know, and, you know, I'm just going to use America. America, that's definitely an issue. Just America itself is wealthy. It is wealthy as nation, but there's still plenty of people who do not have access to clean water and food. And it's definitely worse now because of the AI centers. They drain fresh water and all that. And I mean, they're used Flint, Michigan. Flint, Michigan is an area where they, those people do not have access to clean water. Definitely clean water. That water is big contaminated. That issue has not been resolved. Maybe this one will go to fix that. And maybe they'll have, you know, people from, you know, whatever clean water is. Well, definitely probably when I find out America, maybe they're going to have to lie on the Canadian Canada as a district. They collaborate with there to get more fresh water to help the territory Michigan. Okay. So they could resolve that issue. They had collaboration like that could work. I got to say I could see some of the work. I just, I think my big, my biggest concern personally, it's how is going to be executed. How it's going to be done. It's not about what I got an idea of what it is. It's how it's going to be executed because people will, because you know, people will argue, if you are prioritized, some local district versus the other district. I'd stuff with, I could see that as a potential rule. Now, potential conflicts are going to happen more than once. To see how that could be resolved. And maybe allocation of certain things like the EU did, but the EU did. I think too aggressively the allocated most of that resource from other country while the country that got that fish could even touch it. I think that's too egregious. That's a bad example. That's why so people will skeptical that one more government. We won't use that one more government, but it is a major government that has all these European countries together. So it's a close, it's a kind of close, but not exactly because one more government has all the districts, you know, other just one central government. And you know, maybe it could work. Maybe it could work. You know, I see, like I personally see both ways how it could be a great thing, how it could be a problem, just be very honest. I'm moderate. You know, and you know, maybe it's the way it's to shoot, but just know that you're going to get a lot of it. I'm sure you're already getting some resistance or anything. Because all of them are crazy. What? So I want to have some weird government telling me what I could do with my gun or my weed or whatever. And some people, you know, and some people are going to say, "Oh, it's a great thing." Because look, a shelter is a rye. I don't have to be homeless in the streets. So you're going to have support. And of course, the opposition as well, they're against your idea. But no, it's an interesting idea. That's what I was curious myself about that, about how we could get that. I thank you for that. Because for me, I don't know me. I'd like to be like friendly and trope, but I'm very curious. I was so curious about that one more government thing. Maybe it could work. Am I going to sit on it? I'm not going to be against it. So I see a lot of problems with it that I will be against. I have to take time. Because I like to see what happens before I make a decision. So they're just, "Oh, when we're going back, I'm not a good person right now." Let's see how it works. Let's see. You know, I can be skeptical. I got my concerns. I want to see how it works. Maybe I can be proven wrong. That's a possibility. So we have enough humility just to have that. That's just, "Oh, you know, definitely don't act like Donald Trump and that one." He thinks he's never wrong. He's done plenty of things that cause chaos. Definitely don't want that. It's the opposite humility. It's like arrogance that can seek to the point of delusion. Okay. Don't want that. Don't want that at all. I think I'm talking a little too much. Alrighty then. Anything else you want to add before I start wrapping this up? Okay. Just one minor thing. Sure. The comparison with the EU is a little bit inaccurate because they still rely on representative democracy. What I'm proposing is relying on direct and democratic participation. As the human beings, as regular people, we can vote on multiple issues and make decisions going around. Instead of the current form of ologarchy, spread and all over the world, the expression that you asked, what do you have to do to define politicians? Let's talk about that. Oh no, I thank you for that. I didn't make it clear that it's not the same as the one world government because it does have its differences. It's got only just the European countries. But I like that you point out that difference because I didn't point out that specific difference. They still got their representatives representing that country and all that. It's not definitely not people representation. They write. That's a good point. That's a very good point. You see, man, look, you know, look, listen, the whole system is talking about everything right out of my being corrected because I want to make sure my jobs make sure his point of view is what represented. If it means me being corrected, so be it. I don't care about my ego as much. I already said this before. I don't mind being corrected because I don't fully get it. Maybe that's what needs to solve the problem. And maybe we should give a test run of it. Just a full, you know, just a thought. Maybe a pilot or something. I don't know. Maybe a pilot about how this could work. You know, maybe represented by the people that are just, you know, you know, bureaucrats, such as his bureaucrats. Because bureaucrats do have the own agenda. And that's why some is the allocation and all this on fighting has happened. So now that's a good point. That's a good point. All right. So anything else you're going to add? Well, besides that. Anything helps the mind? No, that's okay. Okay. Now, I just want to make sure that's like I talked more than I thought I would. But I, you know, I don't mind you talking about that's why it's more, this was me free from that's okay. So my listeners, my viewers go support, Muhammad and the bulls, you know, works. He's not just, you know, one world government kind of guy. He's definitely philosopher and author. He has plenty of books out. I'm going to put a link to his website. He does more than just, you know, AI ethics. You know, he does deal with critical thinking how we should think. Because I think that's what I'm going to do. being attacked. Very heavily, especially you know, just keep relying on AI and elazing a stupid way. Oh, how can I breathe? Oh, forget it. If you need AI to hope you breathe, you're going to die. You know, and especially if the loading is too slow, forget it, you're dead. That's very problematic. But if you don't know something, but if you're good with prompts, then AI could be a good tool. Just use it intentionally and intelligently and make sure you still have your using your brain. And let me give a very crazy example. If I want to, if I want us, if I type, what is the best cheapest restaurant in New York City? And the answer I got was a laundry mat that's already closed. That's a problem. You know that AI is stupid. You know that answer is stupid. I said, I want the best cheapest restaurant in New York City. And yet it gave me the answer of a laundry mat that's been shut down for a year. You should know that's a problem. You don't have to be intelligent to know that's a problem. And that's why you still have to be critical and be aware when you use AI. AI is a great tool. I might against AI you just don't just don't be lazy and just use this a shortcut to everything because you know socializing has decreased critical thinking has decreased creativity forget it. I think it's damage. I think if I want to be dramatic, I'm almost completely gone at this point. You know the parts that make us human has been severely attacked. Not not to my violence with guns and heads being blown up. I'm talking about what makes us humans what makes us great. That's being attacked because we use rely on AI. We should do a whole bunch of stuff and stuff that to be honest, we don't even need AI for sometimes AI is good when I use AI for something I've set the source and make sure the source is good. The source is matching with the answer. It is times it doesn't. That's why I got this disclaimer saying AI makes mistakes because I can't quite a few of them. Okay. So I love AI just just don't make just don't make it a replacement for your mind. Okay. Just don't it's not good. It's not good at all. All right. I think I'm done like sharing my listeners on that on AI use. Again, follow Muhammad the bill. Go to site and you can follow him in different social media as well. He has a bunch of he has Facebook. I'm not going to call it metal. I'm right there used to it. Twitter. I'm not going to call it X you to Instagram and LinkedIn. Okay. You can follow him in all those social media platforms. Okay. And all that's going to be listed on the episode or notes. In the description. Okay. And then for one final time is anything you want to add before I really add this. No. Now I thank you for your insights. I definitely have learned something, especially better understanding what this one world government is. And I'll say that I'm saying AI. Not as not as much, but but definitely the one world government. It's definitely the beauty of a learning curve for this brain here because it's an interesting idea. I'll say it bit crazy. But let's see. Maybe crazy. My work. Maybe because we all these existing systems. I'm just going to say right now they're not working. Change is needed. This is why maybe I'm a little more open. My viewer asked me as 10 years ago. I would have said, "Mohama, you out of your mind." No. No one world government. The way all this chaos going on. We should probably give it a shot. Test run of there's something. I'm a little more open to it now. Again, people follow Muhammad's website as social media. So this is the wrap. So for this podcast, if you really do enjoy it, give it a five stars and give one specific reason why this episode was great. Don't just say Elias is great or Elias is stupid. And the compliments are insults do not help me. Okay. They don't. And if it's one to four stars, how was one thing can I specifically improve in the podcast? It's one thing. If you want to go to five, you're right. Long as they find. I will not stop that. Don't just give a star and don't leave it. Comments do help your people. They really do help. Leave it in the Apple podcast. And then for the YouTube and rumble, "Oh, just leave your comments. Just leave your comments." I'll be reading them. And trust me, I have thick skin figuratively and literally. So I am not easily rattled. It trust me. I've been insulted a couple of times already. I'm like, okay, whatever. Next, I just get because it's just not worthy of my attention. So again, just leave a review or social podcast or Spotify. I'm open to Spotify now. Yes, I know. But I'd be a little stubborn on that. I admit. But you can leave your views on Spotify as well. And the same rules I say for the Apple podcast applies to Spotify. Okay. And then, not for my most favorite part. Whenever.
