493 - The Palantir Manifesto & My Manifesto

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tim Dylan show Joe Rogan was in the White House recently announcing the FDA approval of iBegin It is a new drug used to cure opioid addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder and a lot of ex-military are using this a lot of veterans are Talking about the tremendous benefits In their life that they are seeing from using this and not a lot of people know about the drug. I had no idea what it was So joining me today is a veteran that is taking iBegin Mike thank you for joining me Thanks for having me Tim. Of course Mike Tell me what what is iBegin? So I'm not gonna claim to understand it fully, but iBegin it's an african route They powder it and you take it a drink of it and it is seven to two hours. You experience a total psychological dissolution Followed by a sort of repair process that is left me personally In an entirely changed and different state of mind Well, that sounds amazing tell me about some of the things you were going through before getting on iBegin Sure sure, so I I served two tours in Iraq Thank you for your service absolutely. I spent my high school graduation in boot camp. I started right away And I experienced combat. I experienced murder. I experienced killing and all these things used to haunt me When I got back I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I could drink and I started to do oxycodone and just to manage the pain and the stress How has iBegin? Helped with that because what you just described is what I hear from a lot of people. Mm-hmm It is very hard when you return from war How has iBegin? Helped you with all of the things that you went through well since Since taking iBegin about a week and a half ago I experienced a total liberation from any sort of judgment I had on the situations I was put in the situations I was there for For example, there was a moment in Iraq where we had gotten personal intel that one of our enemies attacking our humvees had a location nearby and when we arrived we had we had no We couldn't find the suspect but his family had occupied this tent area And in order to get him out of hiding we decided that perhaps you know Uh, you know a little bit of coaxing with the family would help so Intuitively, I knew the screams of his children would Would would elicit more than the squeams of his wife of course. Yes. Yes. So I began choking his wife and I choked her for around eight to ten minutes and long after the point of death as we call it and Off the floor just I started off the floor and his her body slowly sank right The puddle it became of course And those were the moments that would really keep me up at night. I get it. Yeah. Yeah But I look back and I was there and I did those things But there's no more judgment. There's no more judgments And the same hand that was choking her was also choking me and at the same time I just let go of both It's almost like you had this epiphany that were all one and you're almost kind of choking yourself Absolutely, you know like and it that's kind of there's a beauty to that and the release The release the release of that and that's incredible and that's something I think that if more people could experience this and And how do you feel about killing today Well, I felt like a part of me died when I went through this 72 hour trip right then I did that Perhaps dozens perhaps more people so I was able to provide what I was able to experience so I see death as a liberation. So I have no qualms over the death. I delivered to these people And in some form or another I'd like to deliver that again Unbelievable. So you feel comfortable today With killing on a level that maybe you've never felt before Absolutely This is this is unreal just to hear it from someone Because you imagine what these things could do these new drugs that big pharma doesn't want us knowing about But you hear from the horse's mouth how impactful this has been so you believe right now you could go and just kill a woman In front of her children and and not feel that sense of guilt or shame no shame no guilt no mercy no hesitation These were the things that were my problems Right because so much of what this drug has done is made you understand that This this experience that you went through You can't categorize this in right or wrong or this conventional you know morality This is kind of these are deeper truths of the universe That you are harvesting from within yourself Yes, yes, we hang up on certain moments we think to find us but in some ways they do but they don't have to a friend of mine Killed a family in a car she was driving she had a few glasses of wine and she killed a family in a car And the and it's really troubled her and she spent um very very Small insignificant amount of time in jail I think she was a person of means and and the the family that you know she killed was not It's not her faults just the way things are and but it's haunted her like she says to me occasionally When she takes a walk on the beach you'll think about it. I'm wondering if I began would help someone like her Undoubtedly would help them. I think uh Incorporate in this into the prison system uh the military system the school system perhaps would uh Would create a radical shift that I think at this point in our culture with you know the way things are going would help everything Because you're really connecting here You know in in in many ways to your true self Not the self that the world has has told you to be ashamed of Right? Oh be ashamed of that or or oh you don't do that You know, but now you've basically had the realization that everything you did is part of a larger story Right absolutely absolutely and the guilt and the shame. It's what anchored me to the addiction you did right now talk about this opioid addiction I came back. I used opioids every single day I used them from morning to night and now you're on I began and are you off them? Uh, I'm no longer addicted. I am right I'm prescribed opioids and you take them Absolutely. I still do it. I'm perhaps at the same level but perfect. It's a surface thing now You know, the opioids exist up here and there's right here is the depth of serenity that I've experienced This is beautiful because what you've realized is you don't have to sacrifice using opioids to heal yourself Listen a man has to handle his drugs. I love completely agree completely agree 100% completely agree. I don't let them control me No, and I mean I am so excited for this to be given kind of en masse to people Everyone goes through something that they need to process You know, yes Wow, this is First of all, thank you for sharing your time with us because I know that Um, you know that this is is difficult to to talk about some of these things. It's not difficult. Right Easy as anything. It's just so freeing So you think right now if I told you go into that bank and kill that woman Yeah, yeah, no problem. Absolutely Kill that that her husband kill the children the way I see it We're all gonna end up with ibogaine in some way or another if that's through strangulation if it's through ibogaine itself Um, we're all looking for them because you're not killing them You're sending them into another realm. I'm liberating them. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes Any so this is absolved you of any regrets that you've ever had are there any regrets? That are left No, no, I have no regrets. I have no regrets. And nor should you um, this is amazing. It's very powerful to hear this Before we end um, and again, thank you for doing this. This is this is this is absolutely. It's important You know, I think that too many too many people right now Forget that What we're doing right here is important And it matters Before we end is there anything you want to say to president trump who took the historic brave Heroic move of legalizing I began. To the Tim Dylan show, we are very excited. We have a new manifesto from Palantir, which I think is a great blueprint for the future, and just make that guy's head big. Make Alex Carp's head big for a minute. That's exactly what you would think about. Like, if you thought about like a pinky in the brain, world domination plan, and you asked a sketch artist to come up with who they thought would be carrying this out. And you know, this is Peter Till's partner here, not romantically, but in a global governance. This is exactly what you would think. I mean, this is exactly what you would come up with. You would come up with this guy. But Palantir put out a manifesto, and I believe it is 20, is it 22 points? I believe it is 22 points. I believe that Palantir is coming out and telling everybody, "Hey, we need. " Yes, what is it, is it 22? Yeah, so a 22 point plan that Palantir thinks is input. Now, you might say to yourself, and one of them is they're calling for a draft. Seems odd, right? But hey, like, you might say to yourself, well, they're a defense tech company. They have an interest in American, military matters. You know, but we've been a draft free country for a very, very long time. And the promise of technology was that it was going to make wars less common. That was one of the promises of technology that an interconnected, interdependent world would not go to war as much. But Palantir is like, let's relax with that because we think there's going to be a lot of wars. Palantir, to their credit, has came out and said, we think there's going to be wars and big ones. We think there's going to be some big wars and we're going to be the Palantir. These are the people that came out and were like, we're going to be fighting a three front, four front war. So get ready for that. So we need a draft and we need a lot of money. And we're going to build a lot of autonomous drone, death machines. And we're going to need a lot of security measures for the homeland. So goodbye to your liberty. Bye bye. This will be like the Patriot Act on steroids. What the people in Palantir are planning. But by the way, let's give Palantir a fair shake. I'm a fan of that on this show. I've always been a fan of that on this show that we give everyone a fair shake. Now people don't like that. They get angry. They accuse me of having some bias or whatever. You're in the tank. I'm giving everyone a fair shake and people get angry at me. They're meant at me. And what's really upset now, babies are watching this show now. Toddlers and people send me clips of this. Toddlers are watching this show similar to Miss Rachel. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. It's actually true. One, because I'm kind of loud and colorful. One woman said this, you remind him of a bear from this cartoony watches, whatever. It doesn't matter. The younger people are what? Fuck, Gen Z jet alpha. Who gives a fuck? You're all dead. You're all dead in a Palantir war. The younger people, and I mean anywhere from older infant. Literally, people send me videos. It'll be a two-year-old just kind of watching the show. Taking it in, they know it's happening. They get it. So that's why people are coming at me. They're screaming and yelling. By the way, let me cover this for five minutes. And then we're gonna take this Palantir manifesto point by point because the last thing I want to give Palantir the benefit of the doubt. Can we give Palantir the benefit of the doubt? Yes, one of their founders is obsessed with Satan. So we all have a thing. And yes, the other one just said we're gonna be in a war with every country on earth, whatever. But I want to give them the fair shake. It does seem like they are going to make money from enslaving the human race and keeping it in a constant state of war. Just an observation from the outside. I'm no genius. But let me cover this because as always, there's rage at people that do what I do for living and podcasters. There's anger, there's rage. And people are angry because Tucker Carlson came out recently. And I'm not saying me and Tucker do the same thing. I'm not saying me and Rogan do the same thing. But we're all on the internet talking. And when Rogan is critical of Trump, people get angry. When Tucker is critical of Trump, people get angry. And people say these people should not, they should not be taken seriously because they supported a man. And then they're criticizing him. That's literally democracy you fucking moron. That's literally the point. The entire point of a democratic process is for people to speak out when they disagree with what their president is doing, whether they elected him or not. And criticism from Tucker Carlson or Joe Rogan is going to be more impactful than criticism from a four hundred pound wheelchair bound mask wearing blue haired tranny Bumbani. And I have no problem. God bless that community. I'll be there one day myself. I imagine, but criticism from within the ranks is probably more impactful. Now does Tucker have a political project? Probably just Joe can't have a political project. Probably. I don't think Joe Rogan does. I don't think he's running. But like people have reasons for saying the things they say. Obviously, I don't think Tucker would deny that. I don't think Tucker has an idea of the way the country should look, agree or disagree. And when Trump does things that fall within that, fall within that vision, he praises him. And when he does things that are outside of that vision, he criticizes him, criticizes him. Now, you might say that cynical or whatever. And that's fair. You might say that, you know, that there's a hidden agenda or there's another reason why he's doing it or whatever. And that's all fine and good. But saying that you can't criticize someone that you supported is psychotic. I don't understand that. So the rage at people for criticizing Trump, I don't understand, especially from a party that supposedly wants to win. Don't you guys want to win? Do you want to win or do you want to bathe in victimhood for the rest of your life? You're now attacking Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher. Why don't you really even care about that much? But they've never voted for a Republican in their entire life and you're attacking them. You're attacking his son, Piker. You're fighting. It doesn't make any sense. Do you want to win? You will never win unless you let go of the anger. You have to let go of the anger. Stop being mad that Meghan Trainor lost weight. Stop being mad that Tucker Carlson criticized Trump. Stop being mad that has some Piker said things you don't like about Hamas, whatever who cares. I don't agree with his son, Piker on a lot of stuff, but it doesn't matter. You have to lead by not being in sufferable cuts. I'll say it again. Can you do it for five minutes? You'll never have a better opportunity. This motherfucker in a year and a half has lit the goddamn world on fire. If you lose the next election, pack the fuck up. If the Democrats don't sweep the midterms, pack up. You have to win by not being in sufferable cuts. I know it is hard. I know it is difficult for you to for five minutes. Rain it in, but it's necessary. Rain it in and maybe look at some of the people that are agreeing with you or helping you. I'm not saying you have to praise them. I'm not saying you have to praise Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson or me or the Yovon or whatever. Whoever you're angry at today, who's ever ruined your life this afternoon. I'm just saying. You're making you keep making enemies all the time you're addicted to making enemies. And if you don't want a Christian nationalist, you know, the handmaid's tail country, which I certainly don't want, no one, most people I know don't want, some people I know do. If you don't want that, then you need to take power and you need to take power by not being insufferable and angry. Nobody wants to follow that. Nobody has to follow that. And this idea like the mainstream media is going, well, podcasters should never be taken seriously again. If you know, this guy at the Atlantic wrote an article saying Tucker should never be taken seriously again. If he criticized Trump, these are people that are so angry and and enraged at the fact that their digital platforms, many of them are failing and they're angry. And these larger digital platforms are trying to pump money into podcasts. And they're trying to, um, you know, co-opped a lot of podcast and get David Graham. Seriously, Tucker come on media figures. You've turned against Trump only in recent weeks have forfeited the right to be taken seriously in the future. Can I rephrase that? People with audiences should never be taken seriously. So someone listens to me. Can someone listen to me? Here's the deal. If you don't have an audience, there's a reason for it. If you're audiences dwindling, there's a reason for it. People are not connecting or people don't trust you or whatever. The owner of the Atlantic is with Jisling Maxwell's best fucking French. Shut the fuck up, David Graham. Shut the fuck up. You scumbag. What are you talking about? Who the hell do you think you're working for? What are you out of your fucking mind? Get up owner of Atlantic Jeffrey Epstein and hit image. By the way, I'm not saying she was like running a whatever, but like the owner of the Atlantic or maybe it's Jisling. They were like, you know, the idea that like I'm going to take like there's going to be some moral. Yeah, here we are. Here we are. Here we are. They seem kind of cozy. That's the owner of the Atlantic and Jisling Maxwell. Hang in. And this is Lorraine Powell Jobs. Steve Jobs is wife who owns the Atlantic. Okay. Stop. Stop playing these games that you're some arbiter of morality. It's disgusting. Anyway, so we'll move on from that. That was just in a side. And again, free advice. No one takes. No one takes any of my advice. And then they're angry with me because they don't listen. They don't listen. You want to win an election? Don't nominate a woman who can't talk three months out from the election after concealing the fucking mental health of a corpse. If democracies are in the ballot and it's the most important election of your lifetime, why would you not have a little mini democratic primary? Why would you just appoint this woman who ran on a vibes platform and she and listen, she would have probably been better because she wouldn't have been, you know, I don't know. But by the way, I don't know that they, you know, I don't know that that a Kamala Harris administration would have yanked money from Israel. Does anyone feel like that? Does anyone think Kamala and Judge Kamala and Joe gave Israel billions and billions of dollars to go over there and turn the Palestinians into soup? So does anybody think that they wouldn't have backed Israel? I don't know. Would they be as close with Israel as Trump? Most likely not, but I don't know personally if this wouldn't have played out a similar way, I don't know. I don't know. And again, I think at this point, she would have been preferable. You know, perhaps, however, if this was the election that everyone said it was, you really fucked it up. By the way, you didn't. You concealed the state of the president to the point where it was right in front of the American people going, wait, what? This guy can't run. And then you put her in. So this idea, you want to rewrite history and blame it on five people. That's great. I want to blame it on five people. You can do that. You want to bring out the 11 year olds twerking again at the drag branch and see how that works. You fucking morons like gay marriages lost 11 points, Roe v. Wade's overturned. What do you want? You know what I mean? You keep pushing. The pushback is supposedly the thing you don't want or do you want to be permanent victims. But if you keep pushing things like child sex changes that are wildly unpopular with American people and you and you stop talking about things like healthcare. The only healthcare they mentioned is for trans kids. I mean, God bless whatever, but like that's the only healthcare they talk about. There's people that need a knee operation who can't walk on God. If I was a trans 11 year old, maybe somebody would mention me, but that's the only healthcare they talked about the entire election. And now this again, the whole thing is like Andrew Schultz's fault. It seems psychotic. Seems odd, but whatever. Hey, believe whatever you want to believe, who gives a fuck? I don't give a fuck. I don't care what you want to do, to be honest. We're giving talent to your fair share here. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the negativity about talent, I won't do it anymore. I've participated in it and I'm wrong. I'm wrong. I'm wrong. I'm wrong. I am ashamed at my behavior when it comes to pound here. There are company like any other. What's a good company? A nice small company. The old ice cream parlor in town. Oh, it's ice cream day for the kids. We can ice cream. Oh, I love that little business. That corner old, that old ice cream parlor. We bring the kids on Friday nights. Get the sprinkles. Get the fat. What's the difference between that place and talent here? Really when you think about it, nothing. Hardworking people providing the community a service. Let's go through this manifesto point by point. Maybe there's some stuff. I number one, Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. Okay. Now, I don't know what that means and no one else does. So that's one of those things where someone writes it. They have an idea of what it means and you're not supposed to. So point one in the Paletteers 22 commandments is Silicon Valley owes a debt to the country. They have to participate in the defense of the nation. Okay. Are we doing a lot of defense? It seems very offensive. To me, it feels very offensive. We are on the offense a lot of the time. But let's just stipulate that maybe we partially agree with that. Yes. Silicon Valley should participate in the defense of the country and by defense, we mean offense. I don't know. Okay. Number two, we must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone or greatest creative? If not crowning achievement as a civilization, the objects has changed our lives. But it may also be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. Okay. Now, by the way, you got to realize when it's like this is Paletteer. So it's by the way, it's not like someone could make that point and say, like, we need more community theater. And you'd be like, you know what I mean? Like get off your phones and go outside, take a walk. That's not what they mean. The tyranny of the apps means we don't really like these things. Everybody's on pop and shit about us all day. That's what they mean about this tyranny. Yeah. Hey, we don't like we don't love these apps. Everybody keeps running their mouth. Who's this fucking idiot with the stuff? Olympic is running his mouth about us. We don't like this. Everybody's on these iPhones forming opinions about us. Not cool. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization or indeed its ruling class will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. Okay. No problem with that as it stated. What does that mean? We don't know. The limits of soft power or soaring rhetoric of soaring rhetoric alone have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power and hard power in this century will be built on software. This is one of the most important things in their manifesto. Here's what they're saying. People we used to be able to influence the world with with different kinds of power. One of them was soft power, cultural, the appeal of the American culture owning a house. I have a backyard. I have children. Look at me. I'm on a vacation. I have a standard of living. And powder is going that's all going away. Nobody's going to want to be like you anymore because your lives are going to be terrible. So nobody around the world is going to want to aspire to the American way of life. We're not going to be able to influence the world by saying here's our culture. Here's how we do it. Doesn't this look good? We're losing the ability to do that. So in order for us to prevail now, we have to build an army and that army is going to be robotic, it'll be drones, it'll be software based. So hard power is going to be software. So that's how we win now. We don't win by exporting our music, our entertainment because, you know, we can barely do that anymore and we can't, it was certainly people, people in nobody in Norway is like, I wish I lived in America. Like, so the fact that that's dying means that we're now just going to have to have a massive, more door like defense machinery focused on high tech killing machines. And that's how we're going to prevail. The question of, the question is not whether AI weapons will be built. Well, how lovely. That's nice. It is who will build them and for what purpose or adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military national security implications, they will proceed. Here's what Palantir is saying with this, by the way, with all of these things, they're saying, we are the actual government. You don't realize it now, but we are the actual government. We are your government. These congressmen and senators, the people that go on real time with Bill Maher, they don't even understand what we're doing. They don't matter. And we, we could, we couldn't even explain it to them if we tried. So basically, whether you like it or not, we're the government. And if you don't like us, China is building these weapons. Palantir is not wrong. China is building these weapons. But Palantir is basically saying, whether you like it or not, we are the government. Us and companies like us are going to be making the decisions about the future. Your lives will be determined by us. They're not going to be determined by Marjorie Taylor Greene. They're not going to be determined by Alexandra Casio Cortez. They're going to be determined by the systems that we build and we are going to build them. And that is the truth. And this is why they're coming out with a manifesto. Okay. National service should be a universal duty. We should as a society. Seriously, consider moving away from an all volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. So what Palantir is saying here, is we need to move into become a war like society. We need to be a war like Spartan society. Everybody should be doing national service. We're going to get into wars. We're going to get into a lot of wars and a lot of people are going to die and that's just that. A peaceful era is not a possibility. We're not going to let it be a possibility. And these conflicts between these great powers are inevitable. And everybody's got to join the military and a lot of people have to die. And that is, if that is point number six, by the way, point number six. We're only six. We're only six in. There's 22. Well, again, we want to give them a fair shake because they seem like nice people. The thing about Palantir, they seem like nice people. So, isn't it Alex Carp, who said I was too poor to have a girlfriend and now I'm too rich to have on what a human thing. So, you know, I don't know why we wouldn't listen to childless childless tech billionaires who love Satan. And I guess Peter Till has adopted kids. So, I'm not trying to say he doesn't have kids. I'm sure it's a happy family. And not because they're gay either. It's not I'm not saying gay people can't be good parents. I'm saying that, you know, I don't know. Dad's going on about Satan again. Mike could be a little old. Number seven, if a US brain asked for better rifle, we should build it and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness and military action abroad while remaining unflinchingly in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm's way. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. So, here's what they're saying. Public servants were phasing them out. We don't really need them. We don't want them. We don't like the government. We don't like regulations. We don't like any check on our power. We feel very uncomfortable with anybody trying to limit the things we are trying to do. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness, a jet-sitting of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. Again, standard, weird. Okay. It's like, what? Then they're like, and everyone's in the military now. And we're all dead. You're like, wait, hold on. The psychologicalization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and a sense of self who relied too heavily on their internal life, finding expression in people they may never meet will be left disappointed. Okay. Now they're really starting to reveal themselves. And here's what they mean by this. Stop asking for your government to do things for you. We don't want that. That is not their job. You're not supposed to put demands on the people you've elected to do things for you. We are going to decide how you live and if you live. So stop putting all of your hopes into it. So by the way, it's like, that's so psychotic. Think of this, ready? Those look to the political arena to nourish their soul. By the way, is anyone doing that? I mean, I'm sure some cycle pastor doing that, but like, is that a widespread thing? But that's not really the fun sentence. Here's the fun sentence who rely too heavily on their internal life, finding a expression in people they may never meet. So are they basically saying you can't expect something from a politician you've never met. You can't put any faith in a politician you've never met. You can't have a sense of, you know, like ownership over a government or a politician. And in the sense that like, you demand accountability from them. Very strange. Our society has grown too eager to hasten and is often gleeful at the demise of its enemies. But thank wishing it a vote upon it is a moment to pause, not rejoice. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age is ending in a new era of determines built on AI is said to begin. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect, but it is easy to forget how much opportunity exists in the country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on this planet. Right, but also every year there seems to be less and less and less and less opportunity. So they're basically like, if you join the military, stop asking politicians for help. Stop asking people you've elected for healthcare or to fulfill any of their promises. You've never even met them. American power has made possible an extraordinary long piece. Too many have forgotten or perhaps taken for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great military power conflict. At least three generations, billions of people and their children and now grandchildren have never known a world war. And that and input Palters basically say, and that's going to change. That is going to change. Oh, you're going to know a world war. The postwar neutering of Germany in Japan must be undone. The defangible of Germany was an over correction for which Europe is not paying every price. It's similar and highly the actual commitment to if Japanese pacifism will have maintained also threatened to shift the balance of foreign Asia. Some points to those. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market is failed to act. The cultural must-nickers at musks interest and grand narrative as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves. Well, that's also what that's what he's doing. Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. So here's what he's basically saying. If you're sitting home and you don't have a job and you don't have any money and you don't know how to pay your rent and we're out here talking about mining asteroids. Get on board. Shut up. If you can't be happy for that, if you can't see how mining asteroids for platinum helps you, then we don't really want to, you got to get on board. You got to get on board. This is a global mission. As if billionaire should only just enrich themselves instead of trying to take over the entire universe. Why should billionaire stay in their lane and enrich themselves and try to colonize other planets and dominate space? Why the hell should we stay in this dump of a planet that we've all ruined? Silicon Valley must play role in addressing violent crime. Many, oh, here we go. Here it is. Here it is. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime abandoning any serious efforts to address a problem. Agree on that or take any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. So here's what they're doing. They're basically saying, hey, we have technology. And when you read about some of this technology, it's predicting who's going to commit crime. Okay. It's identifying pre-crime. There's all these things that Whitney Webb came on my show, years ago to talk about. There's all these models of criminals that they're building. There's going to be a cradle to the grave surveillance state where you are going to be surveilled on every medium, in every capacity, in every way. They're going to build predictive models on your behavior. And if you're in a high risk category for crime, there's ways to get rid of crime, by the way, without Palantir, we didn't in the 90s in New York. People do it all over the place. Crime is actually kind of low. You know, if you provide people economic opportunities, if you have a well-funded, well-trained police force, if you have public spaces that are kept up, if you, all of these things are important. If you enforce the law, and you don't, you know, if you don't let large homeless encampments become open or drug markets, all of these things can help. But what Palantir, if they're not talking about any of that, be very clear, they're not talking about, you know, getting homeless people off the streets, or making sure the police are funded and trained and capable. They're talking about predictive models of criminal behavior based on AI analysis of all of the things that you've ever said or done. Woo! That's what they're talking about. They're not talking about a couple more cops. They're not talking about that. They're talking about an entirely new way to think about crime, who's going to commit it, why they commit it, and predictive models. This is where they're going. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service, to public arena, and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves. By the way, is that what public life is? Is that a public life? Is your politician, you're not trying to enrich yourself? Does anyone, or they, what is, I don't accept the premise? Are we to believe that all these people that are going into public life are selfless and they're not trying to enrich themselves at all? Barack Obama has a mansion on Martha's Vineyard. Trump is literally doing an event to pump a fucking meme coin. Some like scam meme coin that's failing, and it's like dropped 80 percent in value, and Trump's literally doing a meme coin, and he's not trying to enrich himself. There's so much insider trading in Congress. It's absurd. Nancy Pelosi is a cent to millionaire. None of these people are trying to enrich themselves. They all went into public life because of lives of self-sacrifice, complete life. It's fake. The public arena and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves has become so unforgivingly that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual empty vessels to his ambition. One would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. What they're basically saying is that people are far too critical of people that go into public life. So it drives away a lot of the billionaire psychopaths who would want to do it. So a lot of the people with skeletons in their closet who've spent their lives destroying other people, who that might be uncovered and reported. Those people should not feel any way about getting into politics because the press should stand down. So number 18 basically is like, hey, man, the press should kind of stand down. Let us do what we want. Stop, you know, the caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. Okay, great. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite's intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs of it. By the way, these people want to live forever. They believe in what are they believe in? What are they talking about? Rapping, tack and Christianity is one of the funniest things and you have to be so stupid. You have to be one of the dumbest people in the world. All of these people want to live forever. They want to merge with AI. They want to become robots. Where's that in the Bible? They don't believe in any religion other than an element of control because here's the reality. You're not getting a life-extending technology. They're telling you you're joining the military. You're gonna go die in the South Chinese Sea. You're not gonna live to 150. That's what they're gonna do. You're not getting all the biohacking benefit. You're not getting any of that. So what they're basically saying is like, we need to wrap this in some type of Christian belief system because America's largely a Christian country. And if we tell people that God wants this and that you can't question God and that God wants more AI and God wants more humanoid robots, that's what God wants. He wants humanoid robots and AI and he wants me to live forever and he wants me to build a bunker. God wants me to build a disaster bunker in Hawaii. That's what God wants. So as soon as that, that's the whole game here. You have to be a moron to not see that. God wants this. That God wants me to live in an underground bunker. That's what God, if Jesus was alive, if he came back, he'd be living in an underground bunker with an army of drones and humanoid robots. Some cultures have produced vital advances. Others remained dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgment are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures have produced wonders. Others have produced middling and worse. Regressive and harmful, sure. Okay. We must resist in the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We in America had more broadly the rest west have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity, but inclusion of what. Okay, there you go, 22 points of balance here. What they're basically saying and some of this is understandable, but what they're basically saying is in order to get to where we need to go, we need a cultural nationalist identity that we're going to wrap. We're going to wrap all of this in a package. AI, Christianity, nationalism. We're going to wrap it in a package. We're going to merge these seemingly disparate ideologies into one thing so that we can sell it to you. So what seems to be happening is this is my call. This is what I'm saying. I don't know if I'm right, but I'm literally, and by the way, when someone puts this on the news, make sure you make sure you leave out that I don't know if I'm right and then just put the rest of it on. But if you look at the elites, they're not a monolith per se. There's lots of different parts of the world where lots of different, you know, for example, Russian, China have different interests than the United States and Britain. We all get that pretty obvious. One world seems to be dying. That is the world of, you know, they talk about it briefly where they talk about nuclear deterrence, the unipolar American moment, America being the sole superpower, supernatural organizations like NATO, the European Union. This world was largely a post-World War II creation. America, the dollar being the reserve currency, central bankers, setting monetary policy all over the world. All of this kind of growing out of an eastern elite out of the United States. You know, also in the UK, where you had a world order created and built around the idea of these organizations. It were kind of corporate in their nature, these groups to cancel and foreign relations, trilateral groups, all these people talk about all these different groups that create a consensus amongst a wealthiest and most powerful people in the United States, Britain, Europe. And now that we have countries like China, you have countries like India, the unipolar moment is over. You have Russia has now built itself up. You have a lot of different competing ideologies and you have the Bricks nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China. You have Iran, which we seemingly just lost a war with. So you kind of have this new world and the people of Palantir are like this new world is going to be run by tech oligarchs in a futileist way. So we're moving away from the central banker, which by the way, it was not always a great world either, right? We, we, we, we, we're not here to defend like the central banking cartels and human trafficking and drug trafficking in the pillaging of Latin America, and you know, money laundering in the, the Epstein class and, you know, kuditas in other countries so that we, our corporations can go pillage. We're not defending that per se. We're saying that Alex Carp's idea of the new world is just simply run by a few companies with a few oligarchs at the top of those companies. And the government of the United States of America is going to be infiltrated and taken over by those companies and it's going to be completely, it's going to become ineffectual. It's going to become kind of a puppet government of big tech, which it's starting to already. A lot of them lined up behind Trump because they said he's an 80 year old boomer who's going to be able to sell our ideas to his constituents because he's built kind of a cult of personality. And that's why they installed Elon Musk in there and it just didn't go well because Elon Musk is like such a dork and so unlikable that he went in there and he's like firing park rangers on YouTube thinking he's doing something and everybody was like kind of immediately disgusted by this going with the fucks going on. It's like hellish. So they kicked him out and then he got in a little war with the president, the Epstein files, whatever, but make no mistake. That's the, the Palantir things that everybody's going to join the military. We're all going to fight a bunch of wars. We're going to make the country safe, but we're going to do it in a way that takes away most of your liberties, all of your personal autonomy and freedom. You're going to be as soon as you're 18 years old, you'll be in the military and you're going to fight who we want you to fight. You're going to do what we want you to do. The jobs available are going to be the ones we tell you you qualify for based on again, these models that are going to build these predictive models. You're not going to have access to the healthcare, the biohacking, the longevity stuff, living forever. That seems to be the new obsession of the rich and wealthy is to live forever. Life, life's not getting better. It's getting longer. No one looks at life from 30 years ago. I mean, by the way, some people do, right? You know, I get it. Like people get more rights, minority groups get more rights in many cases. So I'm not going to be, I'm not blind to that. But if you look at life in the 90s or the early 2000s, or if you even go back to 2010, no one believes life is better now than it was in 2010, where in 2026, it's 16 years later. No one looks at life now and says it's better. Look at 2010. People are out there at bars, they're in restaurants, they're going out, they're celebrating things. They have, you know, a sort of a social life that is different. Young people feel more hope about the future. They have a more vibrant social experience than they're having now. They haven't been fully sucked into phones. You know, the country though divided on many key issues is not in a constant state of war with each other. People aren't quite addicted to rage yet. Social media hasn't programmed our minds. We can still watch a movie. We can still read a book. We still have an attention span. People can still go on a date and talk to a woman. They don't have to go in for eight hours in their room and then read about Hitler. So nobody looks at 2010 and goes, whoa, that time sucked. Nobody looks at any of these, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, you didn't have fucking AI videos of fucking cats, fucking, no one, none of this is good anymore. None of these advancements make anyone's life better. I mean, what are we talking about? Like what do you, now we have pictures on the food delivery apps? One of this makes anything any better truly. You're more isolated now, you're more alone now, you have less hope than you had. We have, we're seemingly heading towards conflicts with other countries. We're seemingly, we're in multiple wars, but none of it seems better. These, nobody looks back on 2010 and goes, what a fucking nightmare, again 16 years ago. It was better after 9/11. You had more fun in this country after 9/11 than you are having right now. It's true, you had more fun after 9/11 than you were having right now. Right now is one of the bleakest periods that I've ever lived through and it's the most technologically advanced time that we have. The things that you can do technologically now are beyond anything that has ever been done in history, but in order to enjoy it, you have to be a sociopath. In order to enjoy our time, you have to be a sociopath. You have to be unbothered by seeing a two-year-old that Israel lit on fire running around and you have to swipe without thinking about it and go right to door-dash and order typhoon. You have to be a sociopath. There's no way to truly enjoy that you have to be a psychopath. You have to wake up and kind of ignore the news and say, I'm starting a business. Let's go. And I'm not saying you shouldn't do that because people need to be productive, but we are all being trained to be sociopaths. That's the way, I mean, we've just spent the last two months interviewing a kid who smashes the bones in his face with a hammer, who's on meth. And we've spent the last two months interviewing him and going, what's your secret? What's your secret? You inject things in yourself every day? Nobody thinks that life is better than Beverly Hills 90210. Nobody thinks that life is better than piling a bunch of your friends into a car and going to a school and going to a prom and having fun and going to the beach and taking shrooms. Nobody thinks this life is better. Nobody prefers living in a cold, white apartment in Miami and snorting Adderall going to the club every night, having a bunch of fake friends trying to drive a Lamborghini and filming yourself in it. No one thinks that's a preferable life to living in a brick-tooter-style house with a dog and a family, and a deli you walk to, and a Christmas tree lighting? No one thinks that's better. No one honestly thinks any of that is better. No one thinks it's better to sit around front row at fashion week or aspire to be one of these, you know, um, you know, whatever, like, you know, you know, girl boss, you know, you know, you know, CEO types. No one thinks that's better than having genuine connections in your life, family, friends, whatever. I'm not saying women shouldn't work. I'm saying nobody thinks it's better. The emptiness of climbing the corporate ladder, the emptiness of, of, of centering these, these aspirations as the only things in your life, no one finds this society and culture to be better than it was 20 years ago. Nobody, find me one motherfucker, find me one person who literally and not at psychopath, not someone selling online classes, okay? Not a finance YouTuber. I'm talking about a human fucking being, like a real mother fucking person. Tell me one person who thinks this is preferable to the way that we used to live. Tell me one human being that really believes that, that really believes that, that thinks it's great that you worked till 40. She can own your first house. You work 40 years your life. You take out a quarter million dollars of loans to go to a school. You graduate, you try to find a job, you cobble together a couple of things, you move to a city, you live in an apartment with a couple of friends, you wander from bar to bar to hook up to hook up to try to connect with a human being. You're constantly trying to climb ladders and have more and more money and more and more things. You want more status. You want people to recognize you as something. You want to break away from the fucking Normie mainstream. You grab a hammer. You're smashed to bones in your face. You want to go to Miami. There's no taxes in Miami. You want to live a certain type of life that you see on Instagram and the pressures to do that eventually, where, where you down, and then you're taking pills to just get up in the morning and walk out of your house. No one thinks that's a better life than the Gilmore girl's life. Living in an old house that you fix up with a dog and some friends and a community and a couple of nice restaurants and a town and some weird family dinners and human experiences and involvement, like everything's a global hellscape now. We're all going to live in mega cities or all going to be on apps and everybody's the only thing that people, the only thing that young professionals can talk about now is where they go on vacation because they have no lives. They have no fucking life. You got to go to Thailand. We went to Thailand. It was amazing. Can you tell her about Thailand? Mark, tell her about Thailand. He didn't want to go to Thailand. You know, it's a long flight. But we went and it was so amazing. The food is amazing. We were worried because I kind of have a sensitive stomach. I'm not really gluten-insensitive, but I'm kind of in the middle. I'm one of those things, you know. But I'm just telling you, Thailand is amazing, but you have to spend two weeks. You have to spend two weeks. You see these temples. It's amazing. amazing. Oh my God, I didn't put my camera phone down. I didn't put it down for a minute. I didn't put my phone down for a minute because I was taking all these photos and Mark got mad. He's like, "Take it in." I'm like, "I am taking it in, but I also have to record it." So we're not going back to Thailand. I mean, it's so far. But we'd actually really love to, like, if we struck it big, like, if he sold an app or something, I think we'd buy something in Thailand. It would be so amazing. Oh my God, it's so, you have to go to, that's what people tell you. All they tell you, they talk, you gotta go to Italy, gotta go to Thailand. You gotta go here. You gotta go there. You know why? They don't have lives. And then these people have lives. They all join zero bond. They join all these clubs in New York City. They sit around. They talk about who's rich. They talk about who's richer. They talk about who's richest. They don't have any lives. They go to Greece to go here. They go to St. Parts. Go to the, you know, and then there's all these different versions of that and all these other cities and some of the destinations, you know, I'm talking about the high end ones because I live in New York, whatever. Partially sometimes, not always here. I'm into by tax wise. But there's no life. So that's all they talk about. Go out. Hear what people are talking about. They talk about vacation. I'm telling you, it's like I'm certain it's insane. Go anywhere and listen to what people talk about. They talk about where they want to go. So that's where we want to go. None of them have any lives. These people don't have any life. They should have photos in places they don't live. That's what they have because all they are. They're on a ladder. And nobody thinks that's bad. My grandmother went to like two places. She went to the Galapagos Island. She saw it. They was a fucking native for fault. She saw some fucking fuck. Why the, not out of condos. iguanas. She saw some iguanas. They spitting you on the rocks. She went there. You know, she went to the like the Badlands National Park. She went on a cruise through the Panama Canal. She went to why she didn't, because she never toured Europe. And when she died at 80, there was 100 people at her funeral, because she lived in the same town for 50 years. And it made an impact on a bunch of people's lives. I don't care that you went to in Guilla, you fucking scumbag. You're, you are nothing. You are zero. You have a meaningless life. It's unbelievably mean. You don't even understand how meaningless it is. I couldn't explain to you how meaningless your life is if I had all the days in history. And that's not meant as an insult. I know it sounds like an insult, but it is not. I feel bad for you. And it's not your fault, either. It is the culture that we have made you believe is essential. No one thinks this is better. No one thinks this is preferable. Nobody thinks this is good. We are just all doing it because there seems to be nothing else to do. And we are being fed like lambs to the slaughter. We are going to be fed into the wood shipper. And when all these jobs go away, when all your meaningless crap office job goes away and you can't go take a photo of yourself, wherever the hell you're going, and you can't take a photo of the fucking restaurant that no one can get into this whole city that I'm in right now has descended into hell. All of these normies are just running around from the corner store to the fucking 1986 to these all these restaurants. And the whole goal of their life is to tell someone they got a table at a restaurant on a Saturday night. I'm telling you right now, I couldn't describe how meaningless this has become. In the 90s, when I lived here, you know, when I would come in here, I didn't live here in Long Island, my parents would bring me in and I would go on auditions as an actor. And there were these little black box theaters under these restaurants in the West Village and people would put on these plays about getting molested and then they would kill themselves. Do you understand what a great city we lost? Like truly? Like actually? There was this woman, my mother's friend. My mother's friend did a play. She wrote a whole play about being molested by her father and and and then her father came to see the play and it's about him molesting his daughter. And at the end of the play, my mother said to this man, what did you think of it? And he said it was a little long. Do you understand the city that we lost? People were trying to survive through art. There was always people trying to make a shitload of money. We got it. It's New York. We got it. But, you know, restaurants used to be cool. I'm sorry. I'm old now. I'm 41 and I'm old and you all say I'm fucking old and that's okay. It doesn't matter. But I'm telling you, whatever has been created in whatever the American culture is now. No one thinks it is superior. I mean, Britain's banning smoking if you were born after 2008. Like, what a joke. What a joke. You have no job. You're getting stabbed in the park and you can't even have a cigarette. It's like, this is like the idea that anyone cares about your health is like hilarious. You know, whether banning smoking because there's 15 new injectable drugs are going to put you on. By the way, they care about your health. The government of the UK just didn't decide just okay. They don't want to pay out money for people with cancer, whatever. That's fine. Now there's articles coming up. People get the eating. People get lung cancer. It's supposedly women under 50 are getting lung cancer because they're eating salads every day. It's a real article. I'm not going to go anywhere but it's true. Google it. I don't care. But it's true. People that are eating diets that are higher fruits and vegetables because of the pesticides are getting lung cancer. Look it up right now. Pull it up. Pull it up. Pull it up. I'm not saying you should smoke. I'm not saying you should drink. I'm not saying you should do drugs. Although I think a little bit of that might be better than whatever the hell it is you're doing. Healthy foods may be linked to lung cancer. People magazine. There you go. There you have it. Whatever. I just read it the other day. Here's what I'm saying. I'm not telling you to smoke. I'm just saying it is hilarious that Britain's now like, you know what the problem is? We're going to ban smoking. If you're under what are you going to do? Go to bars and go who is born in 2009? You're going to jail. You're getting a ticket. You don't care about your fucking house. So I'm just saying, Palantir is putting out this manifesto and some of it sounds very reasonable, right? Like all cultures are not created equal. Like Western civilization is good. And like, you know, a religious death cult where people believe in witches is bad. It's like, yeah, we get all of that. Okay. But it's not so much that. It's the whole. And we're all going to join the military and we're all going to go to war. And we're going to wrap this in the blanket of Christianity. I mean, they're they're talking about religious intolerance. They're they're lighting children on fire and Gaza. Their technology is being used for all of this stuff. It's very interesting to talk about religion and then build death machines. So I'm just saying we're heading to a place that no one will say is superior to where we are where we are now. In the same way that no one says 2026 is superior to 2016. No one is going to say 20. If we keep going the way we're going, no one is going to say 2036 is superior to 2026. Even though at that point, you could probably talk to your dead mother. You probably talked to an AI version of your dead son who died in a car accident. Jimmy, is that you? No one's going to think it's better. No one's going to think when you're heavily drugged up in your little box talking to dead relatives, AI created dead relatives that it is better than now. And no one says that and that's the problem because there were times when you look back when people go, fuck, this is a lot better than it was. But we, you know, this text seems to have stopped making our lives better. Now a lot of sociopaths would disagree with me. And I like some of them because the thing about sociopaths is that they're charming. They're a lot of them are very nice. They're fun to get dinner with. They don't feel. It's not their fault. Some of them have evolved to be that way. Some of them are born that way. It's just what it is. I'm not a doctor. And they're fun to have dinner with and they're lovely. And they're actually a lot of them are good comedy audiences. Some, some not so much. Some are. But that's basically, you know, because their argument is going to be there's more ways to get rich now than ever. And I talk to them and I'll sit down with them. I don't join these private clubs in New York. I hate that idea. I go to restaurants. I'll sit down with people. You go out in the Hamptons. You have a fucking, you know, a, a, a, a baked clam. And they tell you they go, there's more ways to get rich now than ever. Look at you. They go, look at you. You're on YouTube. Look at you. Look at you. You're in second oyster now. It's nothing in the eye. Black eye. But that's not a society. More ways to get rich than ever. It's not a society. That's like not a society. It's not a culture. It's, it's actually nothing. It's a casino. There's more ways to get rich in a casino. Than a lot of other buildings, right? Like a church or a, a banquet hall or a restaurant or a hospital. Like there's almost no ways to get rich in any of those buildings. And in a casino, there's like tons of ways to get rich. But you wouldn't necessarily say that you should get rid of all those other buildings and then just have a big casino. And like move the hospital in there and put a wedding chapel in there and just live in the casino. You go, no, no, the casinos like Something we all go to occasionally we have a fun weekend we go see like a band, we go to the club, we get drunk, we eat bad food, we smoke some cigarettes, we stay up late, we gamble. That's no good. But what everyone's saying now is no, no, no, no, no, no, we're going to live here in the casino and we're going to get healthy. We're not going to eat the bad food and we're not going to drink. And you're like, wait, what? And they're like, no, we're going to be in the casino sober. And you go, that sounds terrible. And they go, no, no, no, it's actually great. We're sober. We're eating healthy. And we're in the casino and we're going to live forever. And you go, but I want out like I want to leave the casino. There is no out. And you go, why? And they go, well, everything else has been destroyed by a nuclear war. And that's the economy that we've created. There's more ways to get reached in ever before. But that's not a society that's not a culture. And that's barely aspiration. I guess you just want a lot of money for the sake of having a lot of money. You could buy an apartment on the top of the building or a really big house or a boat. I mean, but, but it's actually not a cohesive, fulfilling culture on any level. And the people that are driving it right now telling you how great it is are the people that want to live 24/7 in the casino. And they don't only want to live there. They want to live forever there. It can get richer and richer and richer. I don't understand the point of that really. I don't get it. It doesn't make any sense to me. It's not a cohesive, fulfilling, cultural standard for most people. There are lots of risk takers that want to make lots of money. But if we create a world where you can either be really rich, if you adopt some AI crypto scam. But like, if you don't, then like your communities are going to just turn into fentanyl zombie parades. I don't know. That says it make it easy. Nobody wants the life. You know, when I grew up, the rich guy, and I understand some of this by the way, because I meet a lot of these people. I know a lot of these people. There's a lonely, you know, lonely at the top. Like, right? Like, the rich guy was always portrayed as like, you know, not always a scrooge character, but, you know, kind of a, he was set apart. You know, and all the Stephen King novels, the mysterious billionaire who's weirdly controls the town. Mr. Burns and the Simpsons, they set the other thing. They had the big house. It was kind of empty. You know, even Batman, the Bruce Wayne, you know, he's doing good. Whatever, you know, I'm pro Batman. But like, there was a weirdness to his life. Like, an odd, you know, it was like a weirdness to being like super rich. There is. Look at these people all in base. I mean, are they, are they, are they humans? Is he look human? Like, Bezos, Lauren, Sanchez. They're like, they're like Michael, they get Michael Dillon his wife up right now. Shout out to Michael Dillon, friend of the show. Get Michael Dillon and wife. This is super rich. Get him up. Get that photo to the left. Make it big. Make it big. Make it big here. Get him big as you can. This is the rich. This is the super rich. You know, I mean, her eyes just go right through you, don't they? I mean, her eyes go right through you. I mean, that is. All right, take it off. I'm actually starting to get uncomfortable. But what I mean by that is like, the idea when I grew up was not to be like loaded and rich. Like, I'm happy I have a lot of money. I love money. I tell people all the time it's great to have money. It's great to be able to help people with money and it's great to be able to drive nice cars and have nice things and have nice houses. And I'm never going to deny that. I get it. But this idea that that's like the only thing is crazy. It's psychotic. And I know a lot of people that are incredibly happy, deeply fulfilled human beings that are not wealthy. And when I grew up again, it was the goal was not to have like inordinate amounts of money. I was, I was like broke for like 15 years doing stand up, like doing comedy. Like, you know, maybe like 12, 13 years, they started to make money like 13 years in a comedy. Like, so this idea that there was some of the happiest times in my life. So the idea that we've created a culture where people only find hope on the very high end. And it's such a status driven culture. And tech has made that. It has greatly enhanced that because it has showcased all of these things to the world as as universal goods. Like this is universal good. That was not the way we grew up. We grew up with the idea that to be solidly middle class and live in a community where you knew and respected people. And you raised children there and those people respected you and you had and you took pride in that community. And there were cool things in your community. And people would fight and tease each other. It's like, are, you know, are things better than your thing and Dada Dada. And all the shows we watch kind of confirm that that was the American way of life. And the American light way of life is not like a huge, you know, like Miami based crypto AI casino roulette wheel. But that's what it is now. And parents are telling you that they're going to listen soft power and going to work. We've lost that. You know, a lot of the people that come to this country and visit it, they go around and go, what the hell's happening? So hard power is all that's left. Drones, you know, some a couple of killer robots, some drones, some killer robots and keep your mouth shut and join the military. And we're, we're fighting. We want to fight. Isn't it fun to say join the military? I mean, there's no reason where no one's even explained why we're in the Iran war. They don't care pounds, you're going to join the fucking military. You go fuck shut up. And no one, no one feels better today than they did 15 years ago. And yet all of this attack is here. So how are we going to feel in 10 years? How are we going to feel with predictive crime models? What's dating like in 10 years when you're just doing AI analysis or you're just dating the chatbot? Why even do, why even spend the time to do the AI analysis on the day? Like, what is all that look like? And I'm not again, I'm not a let out. So I make my living on the internet. I'm very happy to when there's no editors and there's nobody who tells me what to say. But and that's not, you know, that's new in history. So I appreciate that. I appreciate technology. But you do have to wonder if there is a point where you do cross a certain threshold. And we were probably there already. I don't know. We're like, we no longer feel that any of this is making our life happier. Nobody feels happier than they did in 2010. By the way, in the midst of financial collapse, 2008, 2009, 2010, these were not easy times. It was like a financial crisis. It was a global banking crisis. And people were happier than they are now. Interesting. This is all, again, I have to earn a living from the show. So I don't think this negates the episode I just did truly. Tim Dylan show is sponsored by Palantir.
