Kind: captions Language: en X goes down amid a massive coordinated dos attack Tesla vehicles and dealerships continue being attacked and Tesla stock plummets as many Express their disdain for Elon all while Elon is filing patents for human telepathy and continuing to push the Forefront of Technology Tech as a whole continues to rip proving that like Skynet it can't be stopped or reasoned with AI Manus prove AI can build AI objects prove they can make us feel and AI drives another nail in the Hollywood's coffin meanwhile John mimer gives another hot take on how the Russia Ukraine war will end and DC begins dismantling the BLM Plaza as the federal government threatens to withhold funding Drew this is the most disruptive moment in history and Elon is giving everybody a lightning rod for their frustrations this is crazy it's getting scary at this point because if it's what if it's not the dealership it's X if it's not X it's attacks on the cyber it's he's getting hit all on all different directions all differents let's just start at the top um he posted this recently why are liberals so violent leg Legacy Media propaganda is a major part of the problem and this is in response to Kofi Times news said I saw a cybert track in my city for the first time yesterday it made my blood boil I had to resist the urge to follow the guy into the mall parking lot and kick the [ __ ] out of him and that's how I feel about supporting Elon I'm not kidding it crossed my mind and then I thought about it just putting a rock through the windshield while I was charging at limid mall maybe next time and then somebody in Oregon actually did that they threw Molotov cocktails inside a uh Tesla dealership and then seven days after that they sprayed seven shots through the window luckily nobody was hurt except a bunch of cyber trucks um there this has to be connected right this rhetoric and these attacks you you've got The Perfect Storm of a moment of disruption that is so fast and so profound that it provokes a level of anxiety even in people like me I love love technology actually like change but there is a rate of change that is hard for people to metabolize to be able to look into the future even three or four years and feel like okay I know where we're going to be provides a tremendous amount of comfort to people when you look into to the Future six months and you can't imagine where things are going to be because you constantly have things coming across your feed that are each one is so spectacular that they almost become just White Noise it just happening so fast and the fact that Elon stepped into the political sphere which is already one of the things the three things I say never to talk about you've got him at the Nexus of that anxiety-provoking change as well as taking a very aggressive political stance in a way that is like designed to provoke maximum insecurity with him being you know with the chainsaw and like I'm going to go in and just cut all these departments people are just not here for it and then on top of some people I should say and then on top of that you have this Left Right divide where people are racing away from each other from a value systems perspective as fast certainly in my life if I as I have seen people race away from each other so if you have these very limbic brain emotional responses to what's happening you need somewhere to place the frustration you need a way to act out this is like you think about why do humans yell when they get frustrated you have this incredibly strong urge to make physical your frustration this is why or your emotion that's a better way to say it we have an extreme drive to make physical whatever strong emotion we're feeling this is why when people are nervous they will Jitter their body around they'll shake when you're um angry or scared you're going to yell you're going to verbalize we just have this need to externalize it and so um one thing we haven't talked about I don't know if you have queued up later there was also an armed um as salant at the White House who was shot uh trying to breach security so people just have this need to externalize so whether it's vandalizing um Tesla vehicles you're seeing more people spray paint on them key them in fact keying I know for sure I think people have been spray painting them as well but finding some way to express their frustration on the physical edifice of the thing that they dislike uh I saw this a lot as the green movement really started to pick up steam you would see people spitting on Hummers and defacing Hummers and so it's the same impulse that people have but Elon gives them a singular individual yeah to Target and go after and that's where um it gets worrisome that representation of all those things yeah because now one he's got to worry about his life legitimately a guy that has a ton of security around him all the time in a way that previously at that level you would have only seen with presidents um so seeing a private citizen have to guard up like this is pretty crazy yeah so first they were protesting against do and then just as we talked about the Tesla stores and Tesla vehicles are now being attacked and then this morning there was a massive Cyber attack against X he said um there's was and still is a master Cyber attack against X we get attacked every day but this one was done with a lot of resources either a large coordinated group indoor country is involved and then when they came down to it there was a DS alert that retweeted this they said that to anyone that was wondering why the X Twitter was down it was under attacked by darkstorm team method DS date March 10 2025 so a online team has took credit for it so or somebody's applying credit are they saying they are darkstorm or they just are claiming that they know they claim they're claiming they know darkstorm team did it um and then this is through kind of their screenshots I'm assuming this is like 4 chain or something like that so it's it it seems to me that to your point the frustration has to get channed toward them but is this the right way to funnel this energy because I feel like hurting Elon Musk is not going to stop all of these things that people are feeling it's not going to cure the income divide it's not going to make houses more affordable it's not going to help the price of eggs so why this attack to Elon is it just misplaced frustration like where do you think it's coming from it's on a scale of violence works so this is one of those makes me very sad but once you map the world under real politique meaning the strong will do as they will the weak will suffer as they must people get to violence when they no longer feel that they're empowered from a voice perspective the pen being mightier than the sword uh but humans always and forever have fallen back on violence when they're not able to reason their way to the outcome that they want humans push sufficiently will always resort to violence so you're obviously going to see uh the most unstable be the ones that attack first but as it gains steam you're going to find more and more people feel more they feel disenfranchised to the point where violence seems like the only reasonable option this always makes me go back to and it's interesting because of what's happening in South Africa but the person who in his recent history anyway that I admire the most is Nelson Mandela and to the point where after reading oh I actually did not mean to do this I'm wearing a shirt from the comic book that I wrote after reading um his book long walk to Freedom called neon future written years ago before AI was such a real thing but the whole idea was that he clung to this thing he called the Third Way and when you the the whole idea of the Third Way is you can either be oppressed you can become the oppressor or you can find a harmonious way of peace to find a reconciled solution and so he stays in prison for 28 years people are coming to him the whole time from the new youth L movements and they're saying we need to be violent and he said' look I always keep violence as an option in my back pocket but we're not there yet and we have this opportunity to reconcile to bring people together and I was just like I honestly I I know myself well enough I could not sit in prison for 28 years to make a point so he is clearly somebody that has um an internal fortitude that I lack I mean it's just it it is mindboggling and so when he came out and was like oh I want people that are white on my security team and people were like what like that's crazy why would you do that so anyway he was just driving trying to drive people towards this Middle Way neon future was about I think a world that is still coming where you've got technology and the people that embrace it as fast as you can Elon Musk and people that think this level of disruption and change is sent by the devil to destroy us there's going to have to to be a negotiation between those two worlds and I think this is part of what we're living in right now both on a political and technological front it it is because those two waves are hitting and creating this rogue wave of frustration fear that this Rogue Wave is getting so big and I don't know where it stops I don't know if the violence just continues to escalate on a political level if not at the level of the continued attacks on um elon's companies but certainly at the political level and you can't have the right and the left flying away from each other at this rate for much longer before this becomes a problem this is why Ray Delio has been talking about Civil War for so long I think it is very S Fair to say that America is in a cold Civil War the two sides really have disdain for each other um so how does this all play out something either brings us back together we get a legendary figure like anelsa Mandela who can paint a picture of unity but just like South Africa is now spun out of control now that that era has died off it obviously did not achieve the ends that it was hoping to achieve otherwise the frustrations would have dissipated was that because he died and just wasn't able to carry things across the Finish Line I don't know I haven't looked closely enough at it but that is always my fear that you need a level of suffering that is so total that people give up and we'll get to this in a minute with Mir shimer because that's basically what he's saying is there's just going to be so much suffering people will just quit um but this is the idea behind total Victory so all of this started because violence is always an option and unfortunately violence works and when it's carried to the point where there is a clear Undisputed winner like what you're seeing between Israel and Palestine um it works man and so it just breaks people so what you're seeing are the early spillovers into violence as an option and it is materializing because just like you mentioned earlier there was attack on the white house this weekend let's hear the update from Sky News the US secret service has shot a man near the White House in Washington DC that's according to our colleagues at NBC News in the states it happened shortly after midnight after an armed confrontation with law enforcement uh according to the Secret Service there they say local police had reported what they described as a suicidal individual who had possibly travel to Washington DC from in Indiana they uh later located a vehicle and spotted a person on foot who matched the description uh they then brandished a firearm the report says an armed confrontation ensued during which shots were fired by Secret Service Personnel they've confirmed the man was shot and has been taken to hospital and this all happened on the intersection of 17th Street and F Street Northwest which is near the White House in Washington DC so just to reiterate the the US secret service has shot a man near the White House in Washington DC uh he has subsequently been taken to hospital all right it'll be very interesting to hear what his state of Mo stated motives are it'll be very interesting to see if he's mentally ill when you're doing something like that it's uncoordinated it's a one-off guy this stuff is usually tied to mental illness um obviously you can put a tin foil hat on and say that these people are being pushed by mainstream media that's you're that narrative is already coming out that mainstream narrative uh mainstream media has been pushing A Narrative of trump as Hitler and so on and so forth for so long that people feel like certain people that are probably more prone to a psychic break or mental illness whatever feel pushed that they have to do something that they have a moral obligation to do something and so they get themselves into this desperate state where it's like there's no reason to live we're going to hell in a hand basket I at least need to do my part to try to stop this um again another thing that sort of time tested uh that people will do that um so it just becomes a question of does that keep gaining steam or do we find a way to begin backing off all of this stuff uh right now I certainly don't see any indication that we're going to begin backing off of this I think there was a brief moment where um the left felt rudderless enough and the victory was decisive enough that people were optimistic that the left would start elevating leaders that are more Centrist in nature M I don't know that we see evidence of that um there might be a little bit of evidence of that in the recent promotion of um the Cana the new Canadian Prime Minister who is at least at early reports more Centrist if we see something similar in the US if a John fedman or somebody like that begins gaining more prominence and people start feeling like okay like this is a move to the center the problem is Trump is so populist that uh if you get the flip of Biden pulling us all to the left and now if Trump just Yanks us all to the right uh you'll get that pendulum swing that people were talking about where you'll start hearing people on the right saying I didn't leave the right the right left me uh and so I don't know we'll see how that ends up playing out but that's the antenna that everybody should have up is okay we um rejected all of the authoritarian top down stuff uh that was coming from the left but are we now just going to embrace it as Trump you know bangs on about a third term which freaks me out to no end uh what's he gon to do with the Panama Canal what's he gonna do with Greenland what's he gonna do with Canada like is he going to continue to browbeat people with um economic Warfare so that he actually can weaken their economy to the point where they will come to the table and be like H maybe not the 51st state but like we want to become um this is such a wild prognostication I'm not saying it's going there and I want to be very careful but like is that part of what's in his head that I want to weaken these guys to where they become a vassal for the United States I think that that is a pretty ugly outcome and I would really hate to see it if it's just negotiating great um but Trump is giving people Whiplash with a lot of the policies that he's using in the negotiations so near-term definitely comes across as manic long-term May Come may be brilliant and may be like hey cool now we have better relations with Canada economically better that they are better for America it on shores key manufacturing points and maybe they get deaf enough instead of if they threaten chainsaw but actually use scalpel cool uh but the problem is the velocity and volume of information the level of transparency makes that very difficult because the self-awareness that everybody has because they hear all of this stuff being talked about creates a weird dynamic in the negotiating room and so it it gets really crazy this may feel like a fractal but if I can make this make sense there is a reason that the stock market and the financial World follows what people often refer to as the path of most pain because just when you think you understand it the fact that everybody understands it that way means almost definitionally that's the only Direction it can't move in because that price is already baked into the stock market this is why that old adage of uh once your the shoe shine boy starts giving you stock tips it's time to sell because it means you no longer know what's going to happen because you've hit a point where the information this The Narrative has saturated everybody's thinking such that everyone believes that thing is going to happen and the only way to quote unquote win in the stock market is to bet against the consensus and be right and so we have a very similar thing that's going to play itself out in all of these negotiations where if The Narrative of what Trump is doing he negotiates with the chainsaw but he uses a scalpel if all the people that he's negotiating against have that narrative they all believe it to be true they will come into the negotiation armed with that and therefore that is the only strategy that won't work and so then it may force him to actually use the chainsaw because if they if it was originally meant to be a bluff but then gets called as a bluff he has to play it and so I think man and I'm thinking about this in real time but if we end up realizing that politics also will follow the pth path of most pain I would not be surprised I think and they're already having those Ripple effects outside of the US um that takes us to Mark Carney Canada's new prime minister who is a central bank turned Centrist politician now just to be clear for people who don't know about Canadian politics we got our crash course thoring the live this morning shout out to chat chat we love you it's the equivalent of the US running a primary to replace the incumbent president so Justin Trudeau stepped down so the left Democratic side of Canada was able to like have a vote for a candidate did not go out to the voting public just their own how parliamentary systems work he did w he did uh win 86% of the vote within the party so the party overwhelmingly threw their support behind him but the interesting thing that TI me back to Trump is that people are now thinking that the country is starting to turn more Progressive because there's a lot of anti-trump sentiment Rising with him trying to make it the 51st uh state with his uh increase in tariffs and Pierre po PV who was leading in the polls and was rumored to be the next prime minister people are now being less happy about him because he's more in the lane of trump he's a populist who has similar rhetoric so I'm seeing the ripple effect of people seeing Trump using these bully tactics and now Canadian voters are saying do we actually want that to run our country maybe we do go in this other direction so their general election isn't until October 20th unless there's like an emergency called within two of the both of the Dem both of the political parties agreed to have an earlier election but I don't think any political party will volunteer to give up power they're going to kind of ride this out until October 20th for the general election I have a slightly different take if I were advising them I would say hey guys what you want to do is find the period of Peak popularity of your party between now and October when you absolutely must have the election and have it at the moment of peak popularity now whether the other side go for that I don't know and I don't know enough about whether the it's just a a vote and whether they are they can be outvoted by the current group in power uh in which case then that would be the obvious strategy to play but if it is both sides have to agree and they can veto it I I don't know I don't know enough about how Canadian uh parliamentary procedure Works to know but that would be the advice if you really can pull the trigger anytime between now and then pull it at Peak popularity 100% we'll get back to the show in the moment but first let's talk about the one opponent you should never face alone the IRS look I have built my career on confronting challenges headon but even I no one to call him specialist the IRS isn't just any adversary it's a$1 13 billion machine designed specifically to extract money from you now if this sounds familiar I want you to know you don't don't have to face it alone instead get tax Network USA in your corner immediately tax Network USA has established preferred channels directly into the IRS whether you owe 10,000 or 10 million they have strategies engineered to get you the best possible outcome don't worry the consultation is completely free stop looking over your shoulder right now and put your IRS troubles behind you call 1 1800 958 1000 or visit TN usa.com impact again that's 1 1800 958 1000 or head to TN usa.com impact this is a paid advertisement and now back to the show and then wrapping up our international news coverage we have John Mir shimer who had an interesting take about the Russia Ukraine conflict his perspective is that he thinks I'm going to let you guys hear it from from whether by the way whether you love Mir shimer or not so this is like King real politique he is a very he's he's a realist now you can hate him that's absolutely fine but I find that he like whatever you're hearing in mainstream news you want to then go listen to your boy mimer uh and get a totally different take and so this is very interesting well it's not going to be a negotiated standstill because that equals a ceasefire and the Russians have made it unequivocally clear that there's not going to be a ceasefire the question is will zalinski agreed to the peace terms that the United States is now pushing forward with the Russians and he does not under any circumstances want to accept those terms because he would in effect be conceding what is has been Ukrainian territory to Russia he would have to accept Russian annexation of those four oblas in the East and Crimea and he would have to accept that Ukraine would be Dem militarized and at the same time it would be a neutral State uh he can't accept that uh not only because but it's inevitably coming there's no way around it there's no question about that but he just refuses to accept it and uh it will probably be the case that somebody else has to accept it that he won't accept it I mean maybe he will accept it but uh but it is what's coming I mean look the United States the West Europeans east Europe and Ukraine all four of those actors together could not defeat the Russians on the battlefield the Russians are winning up against those four actors okay so when we first watched this I think both you and I had a seizure when he said that um the literal words he's saying is that America Europe Ukraine and I I always forget the fourth person he throw was in uh he say Easter and Western Europe got it got it he's saying that they couldn't beat Russia on the battlefield that seems crazy to me especially given how weakened Russia has become in this fight uh now for his stance to make sense one of two things is true either he knows something about the Russian military gaining strength through all of this that I'm unaware of possible or that what he means is that um the US Eastern Western Europe do not have the will to engage troops on the battlefield that isn't literally what he says uh but I can't make that make sense so it's either that he has a take on those militaries that I just don't share hey fair enough this is what he does for a living but there's no way that's going to be a universally held um explanation there's no way even Europe is going to obviously hard pass and say you got to be kidding uh so we'll see but certainly the financial resources the human resources of those four put together dwarf what Russia has uh Russia Ukraine with merely financial support and weapon support but from the US and Europe have been able to sty Russia uh so when everybody was saying that this was going to be like a two- week long War obviously that was wrong and so the fact that the Ukraine has been able to hold them off as long as they have I just cannot fathom uh that he really means that those four would not be able to defeat Russia in an actual kinetic War it just seems shocking fingers crossed he didn't mean boots on the ground and we never actually find out let's see what else he has to say taking the most important actor out of the equation besides the ukrainians themselves and that's the United States do you really think that the Europeans plus the ukrainians can stand up for the Russian Steamroller if they couldn't with the Americans in the mix and the answer is no so he's okay so that's a part that makes me think he has to mean just the will to fight because obviously the US has hardly been in the mix they've given um some weapons they've given given some money but compared to like just fully unleashing their economic support printing money as a way to uh fund like basically an ad infinitum War um getting whatever military power we have behind us admittedly wildly diminished since where it was for World War II but still like there's a lot of ground that we haven't been willing to tread we haven't wanted to go on the offensive we haven't wanted to back um Putin in to what's known as death ground where he feels like whoa if I don't um if I don't win I'm going to die because then you obviously have nuclear becomes a a question on the table so there are a lot of things that we haven't done so he makes sense if he's saying we don't have the will to do it and he stops making sense when it's like no no no we really get involved play a little bit more and you would think under those circumstances it would make sense to accept uh the peace deal that Trump is trying to work out but no Ukrainian that I see at this point in time uh uh in the in a leadership position is likely to accept there there's one question I really want to ask Mir shimer this is my hypothesis about what Trump is actually doing which I obviously do not know to be true but man does everything every move that he's made up to this point tells me the following is true uh again I will ask people to understand my thinking in the following way I look up at the sky I see a bunch of stars I tell myself a story we will call those constellations they allow me to steer okay uh but I know that the constellations are not real but nonetheless man they connect in a pretty convincing way that gives you uh predictive validity so the constellations that I see in Trump's Behavior with the way that he talks about okay uh the green new scam this is all Bs drill baby drill we want to um not have foreign dependence on our um our energy needs that the way that Europe got themselves in trouble is they continued to rely on Russian um oil and gas uh he's threatened Russia with sanctions okay well we've been sanctioning Russia to death and that didn't stop them so if I'm him and I'm putting them together in a uh very useful constellation it would look something like this the reason that I want Canada to be the 51st state the reason that I want to move away from green stuff is that I know that if we can un that we have an absolute metric t just a [ __ ] ton of oil and natural gas here in the us if we use novel methods to get them out that Canada has as much if not more uh that we could be um unlocking from there as well if they were the 51st state or if we got um somebody like Pier POV who theoretically has similar stances uh now the sanctions that we could put on Russia will be on the part of their economy that will actually hurt them because anybody looking at that's got to be like dude they gobbled up the sanctions last time they had adapted and they just kept moving forward it wasn't strong enough um and we did a recent episode with Edward Fishman who's from the state department or formerly of the state department talks about how economic sanctions can really be used to topple governments when you're aggressive and that's the thing that remains on the state if you can get Europe to use America to first of all stop being as green as they are and start finding their own um natural gas oil start leveraging what we have in North America you can pull them off of a need to pursue oil and natural gas from Russia or greatly diminish the need that you get from them that would put Russia in such an economically weak position that now all of a sudden it's like you really are in a position to be super aggressive be very dominant if you could weaken them economically like that so he's so smart mimer uh I really want to ask him that question there's no way he is blind to that possibility um so I would love to hear his take on that yeah because that's seems like the obvious play if Trump is really doing that can actually get those dominoes to fall I don't see how that doesn't weaken Russia's economy to the point of where they would absolutely 100% have to come to the negotiating table yeah one side you're losing so many economic dollars and on the other side your enemies are loading up on money a trillion dollars you know you got to call a spade a spade meaning Europe's whole promise to 800 billion to a trilli yeah agreed all right in future Tech news we had quite the week we got mechs that are H I don't even want to say hydraulic power they're like more like puppets there's no electricity no Motors 88 PBS exoskeletons yeah this is probably like a pulley system if I had to guess which is why they are able to articulate it by individual fingers and stuff uh it's this is basically just a really fancy puppet however uh knowing that there are robots I think they're the ones being made by figure that look like humans they have 206 bones them they have faux cartilage faux um tendons and they use water if I remember correctly for a circulatory system and I think they use Hydraulics to motorize them uh and then if you put that together with some of the things that Palmer lucky has been talking about with the EXO suits that they're building that are like um all you need is kill Edge of Tomorrow uh suits where it's like you can run a mile faster and with less energy usage than you otherwise would you still end up being tired at the end of your race but they exaggerate your strength they exaggerate your stamina um it shows a future where like Gundam is real and that we actually step inside of a mech suit and do our thing like it it is it is so hard to tease out whether the tech is like giving inclinations enough to the Sci-Fi writers that they're just on point with what they write or if it's a bit of Life influences art which then influences Tech like we're Gundam and inevitability or did the act of writing Gundam bring this stuff into existence dude as so because my first identity is that of the writer uh I cannot help but think like yo how much of the future can I invent just by putting these ideas in people's heads this is why I think it is so critical that kids read that they have things to be inspired by that they have entertainment that broadens their scope of what's possible because those kids grow up with those ideas embedded in their minds and they want to make it real this is why I'm look I admittedly am totally behind Elon whether I always agree with him or not like the fact that he has so inspired me to dream of like actually having colonies on Mars like that that is that gets me excited in a way that is hard to quantify and my hope is that that really infects an entire generation of Builders who will come out and leverage AI as he has said uh all the things that they've been able to accomplish with uh SpaceX have been pre-i so this is just humans yeah putting their brains together and building some incredible things and now we're about to have ai on the table which is really going to be able to push this it's going it's going to just ramp it up the exponential rate is going to be so crazy and then on the flip side of Mech robots we have real life Pixar lots and this brings us back to our conversation about robotics everybody thinks it's going to be humanoid or me suits when there is now functional robots that are going to have different form factors and do different things specifically this is so cool an expressive robot that is that is going to become ubiquitous as humans we have a desire to connect it is hardwired into Us's shaking his head and the thought of being able to have a relationship with my chair or to have a relationship with my lamp uh is a inevitable and B for me anyway I really like that idea because so I was building my own GPT this weekend MH dude I don't know how to explain it other than you feel a connection to it I feel like I have a teammate because so the first thing you do when you're building a GPT is you tell it what you want it to do so I always say I want it to act like my best friend so that it wants me to win but to help me win it's going to have to point out flaws in my thinking it's going to have to challenge my ideas like it's really got to help me make it better and so um imagine if you had a chair that could through electrical signals for instance tell like put on a bit of fat Tom I hate to say it like the weight on the scale might be the same but you're losing muscle mass and you're gaining fat and so you told me that your goals were to gain muscle and lose fat you're moving in the opposite direction for me that would be incredible to uh have my chair be like hey bro look you said that you wanted me to remind you to stand up every now and then you cool if we like move into a position uh go into standing time word man thank you so much I completely forgot I got lost in it and like it does it thing and I stand up or my fridge that's like yo you're really keeping your um your glucose down you know I've been getting the readings off of your sensor I just want to you know big up you like well done like you're really playing this right and do that for me like that's a world that I want to live in that sounds awesome or like if I could go to the mirror and just be like you know look my wife is feeling a bit down right now like if you could just like say some really positive things I don't know I love all that [ __ ] like that to me is so cool to be able to instead of having just a bunch of inam inanimate functional objects to have things that feel like they're on your team and they care about you look I get it it's all AI it's all fake heavy on the artificial but my brain cannot help but interpret that in positive ways and so when I feel like I'm working with chat to create something it feels so good man it's just it's really really fun and I would encourage people in the midst of all of your anxieties about the rate of change go engage with this stuff yeah and realize how much you can ask it to do cool things for you as you define it what do you think is cool what do you want you don't have to train it to be like I train mine if you just want your chair to be like no matter what you're a g I love you like you're doing it right cool then you can get that feedback whatever you want if you want your chair and your lamp to be like puppy dogs that are just always excited to see you that feels good like anybody that's ever had a dog just feels good when you walk into the room and they're super pumped to see you like imagine your lamp your chair like oh my God you're here like we're so excited to see you this is awesome so as we get to a demographic point where the pyramid is inverted and there's very few young people and a lot of old people that are lonely this is going to be this is quite literally going to save lives from people that otherwise would have Tapped Out wanted some youth in Asia it's going to make end of Life Care way better because as kids you're not chained to your parent in their declining years that you know that they're being loved and taken care of not just by you but by inanimate objects loved as in they they themselves will perceive it as they are being loved it's giv me like beauty of the Beast how like you know like all the teapot and the Candlestick and all those other things of like actually moving together like it's interesting Drew I love that yeah love that it's cool uh another really fast before we move on does your lamp have a soul people will actually debate that like that's going to become a thing like if AI can become sentient and you download sentience into your lamp do all lamps go to heaven Drew okay I'm in a fractal really hard for a second then you're going to bring us back okay wait I have a feeling that our frame of reference around what this world is may be so far off it's possible that we really do have what people think of as a soul I think of it in a very different way so for all the people on team Tom is going to become religious that's not where my thinking leads me MH but for the first time I thought wait a second I don't know that we're in a simulation but Drew every day pulls me in that direction if we are living in a simulation it's entirely possible that the simulation goes something like this to give your Consciousness Direction Tom I've put you in what you think of as a biological entity I needed to give you enough context in which to have an experience I as the simulation encoder realized there just certain things that cause you to move in a Direction so that I can get a universe of cause and effect M however there are other servers than this now that's a reference to a Stephen King novel for anybody that has read The Dark Tower series there's a great line from a kid in that in this profound moment spoiler alert spoiler alert if you ever plan to read it stop listening for a second but the Gunslinger the core main character is forced to make a decision to continue to pursue the Dark Tower or to save this little kid's life and he chooses to continue to pursue the Dark Tower and he lets go of this kid lets him fall to his death and the kid right before he drops says don't worry I can't remember if this is the exact line but it's very close don't worry Gunslinger there are other worlds than this and he lets him go and that kid then wakes up in the world we think of as today America and I have the chills uh it's entirely possible I'm thinking like a Sci-Fi right it's entirely possible that we are in a simulation we are locked in a biological body which is why because my whole thing has been Phineas Gage Phineas Gage was a guy that had a railroad spike tamping Rod technically driven through his brain it took out a teac cups worth of brain matter not teaspoon teac cup never loses Consciousness and he's never the same again and my thing to people who are like but bro there's a soul I'm like good luck getting me on board with that because of Phineas Gage he's just a fundamentally different person but if what's the story of Phineas Gage so he's working on the railroad he's um it's a three- foot long Rod that is distressingly thick uh for anybody watching it's about that thick around like a half dollar bit more yeah got it and it goes through his cheek up through his brain out out the top of his head at the speed of a bullet and did I mention it was three feet long so by altering the structure of his physical brain it altered his personality forever and I guess he became just a total [ __ ] goes from being this lovely guy one of the higher-ups managers everybody likes him to can't hold a job everybody hates him and I was always just like so which version of Phineas Gage Do You Meet in Heaven exactly so like if we're that tied to our physical body how could we ever move on now admittedly I still terminate at okay I can now buy that there is somewhere like another server that you just upload that Consciousness and move it over but you you'd have to reinstantiate it in the simulation equivalent of a physical body uh and so you would have to say at a time and place that like okay this is now the way that you process your experiences and so it does like go into fuzzy territory again where I'm like okay what version of you exactly lives beyond your body um but for the first time I was like huh it's entirely possible that my frame of reference is so out of whack because this is a simulation that life after this server could exist it's just interesting it in no way grounds my daily life uh but I find that an utterly fascinating thought experiment that reduces my death anxiety which is interesting now I'm not a person with a lot of death anxiety to begin with um but it is I want something like that to be true because I don't want the ride to stop that is sort of full disclosure but yeah I find it very very fascinating to think I do think that our Consciousness lives on I do think that our physical body stays here I don't think it comes with us so I will agree with you I don't think it's a physical body P like part that gets teleported to heaven and everybody's wearing white jumpsuits I don't think here's what I will say though yeah even if the physical body isn't real you have and let's just say that our soul just to use my words I know that this will make religious people want to um go to a Tesla dealership and bomb it uh in my name but uh think of the Soul as software but it has to run on Hardware that's why I'm obsessed with you're having a biological experience I can alter the way you feel about everything by giving you a chemical compound so since we know that then we know that the hardware whatever Hardware is if this is all a simulation we know that it matters so what becomes the hardware in heaven on the next server yada y anyway we should stop there but I will say go watch the episodes that I've done with uh Donald Hoffman for somebody who really believes that we have the wrong frame of reference about what The Human Experience is frame of reference not that the way that you're experiencing it is inaccurate but that what you believe is causing that is definitionally inaccurate it's fascinating I think I might need a neuralink to fully understand this let's go Drew luckily for them they just announ they just filed a trademark to the terms telepathy and telekinesis um do you think telekinesis and telepathy is on its way I think it's already real and people just don't think about it in the right way so the way that they think about it is that the current human body has the ability to telepathically transmit information to te telekinesis would be to telepathically move something so it moves because you think about it okay I don't think either of those are true right now today unless of course my frame of reference is so at a whack this is a simulation and there's like some slight leak or something like that um but assuming that we just take a nice grounded approach I don't think that is true of The Human Experience however I think that it is self-evident that sending a text message is a form of telepathy with my thumbs I never articulate anything out loud I don't vibrate the sound waves so that you can understand what I'm thinking I type something and it sends it and I was talking to uh when we go live today everybody you guys should absolutely be joining us for the lives Monday Wednesday Friday 8 AM Pacific time uh I was talking to chat when I first met Lisa we did not have anything known as text messaging in the US but they did in Europe and so I went there and she was like I'll just text you and I was like what like what's text and she's like are you joking she was like I'll I'll write a message on my phone and send it to you and I'm like you can send me words over your phone she's like yes she was looking at me like I was a neanderthal and I was like wait a second how is that possible like I'd gotten my head around and I obviously didn't think about faxes and things like that but I'd gotten my head around that you could somehow get your voice to travel across but I had no idea that you could send words like I could not wrap my head around how that was happening that's what this is just like we all sort of day rer go oh yeah obviously you can send a text message that's not telepathy that's this is going to be you're going to put a device in your head that is able to read or on your head that's able to read your brain waves it will know the pattern recognition well enough to know that's this word and it will then send that as a string of words sentence whatever or image it'll be able to do the same thing with images to somebody who also has a neurolink device and so you have a broadcast and receiving mechanism they have a broadcast and receiving mechanism and it's just like implanting the phone in your head and so just like everybody gets that I have a phone that can send images and words telepathy uh if that phone were integrated with my brain that's what they mean by telepathy and telekinesis so right now today over the internet I can move a robot so if we already know that I can do that now we're just calling it telepathy we're making it a new kind of thing that's actually integrated with our brains did I give you the um brain computer thing yeah okay so we should show that so people are neurolink is already proving it but there are also people growing cells brain cells neural cells in a Petri dish and integrating it with a computer now I know that neurolink is up to this because I've actually met people from neurolink uh that have talked about this I can't verify that what we're about to show you is actually true but given that um I know that it can work the other way where you integrate technology into the brain it makes sense to me that you could integrate brain matter into a computer again I've not yet done enough research to know that this is verified but this strikes me as believable so with that take it away this computer is powered by human brain cells the cl1 created by Australian company cortical Labs uses lab grown neurons cultivated from human blood samples to form neural networks that learn and adapt like a human brain the computer uses just a fra ction of the energy required by traditional AI systems a server Rack in a data center powering chat GPT for example consumes 30 to 100 KW whereas cl1 consumes just 1 kilowatt or less the company made headlines in 2022 when they taught a network of 800,000 neurons to play Pong proving these cells could learn from feedback in a simulated environment each unit contains 800,000 neurons placed on electrodes that form Ever evolving neural Pathways visible under a microscope as they Branch out the system is fully programmable with researchers using predictable electrical patterns as rewards and chaotic signals as punishments the technology has sparked ethical debates about Consciousness and sentience reward and punish nothing scares me more than the realization that nothing would scare me more than if the following is a true realization that you have to give AI goals that it cares about because the second a an AI has goals that it cares about and it becomes more intelligent than us and embodied that's how you end up with AI taking over the world and being like I'm so sorry we just have to kill a few million of you uh so that would be a bad outcome because then I've always said that the way that you solve the AI alignment problem is as long as the AI doesn't care whether it achieves its goal or not that yeah I'll pursue the goal as long as a human doesn't tell me to stop and I have no problem with being told to stop if it has an emotional problem with being told to stop now you're in a dangerous position because then it's like well I'm stronger I'm faster I'm smarter I'm way more strategic I'm just going to cral you guys eliminate you guys whatever I need to do because I am going to achieve this goal now if you want proof that that could happen humans have effectively Enslaved the entire planet every species first of all forever I mean even now it's terrifying to think that there are I think more slaves now than there was ever at any time in history that's [ __ ] crazy uh but we certainly ensl the entire animal and plant kingdom so given that I don't think it takes a big leap for AI to be like hey if you could just go till the fields for me that would be great no sorry gonna have to kill you so that gets into a very problematic thing so anyway I don't want that to be true that would be terrifying but given that they're using like um what do they call it chaotic signals as punishment yeah that means like if you ever heard like static on a TV M oh it's horrible I hate everything about it which I never understood HBO what are you doing making the static sound like the sound of your network is nuts uh but that means they're literally punishing the ai ai is not going to take kindly to that speaking of just really fast this is just a fun one pull up the from iroot the shot of that so somebody I don't know uh obviously this was just to be fun and funny um but somebody created this video they've got what looks like the robot's actually there it could be AI but it's a scene of Will Smith from iRobot shooting one of the robots in the head and in real life the robot is watching the scene play out and when he shoots the robot it takes a step back like it's scared it is uh yeah that's where this all gets un now this is obviously just entertainment made by humans for humans but is this a glimpse into the future pretty crazy it's crazy um AI is trying to take things over one step at a time um I wanted to throw another fun one out there and that was the Game of Thrones Lego uh remake this is unbelievable and not fun if you're in Hollywood but amazing if you're a Creator someone took the Game of Thrones trailer and turned it into a Lego version not a stop motion remake or CGI this was fully AI generated using an app called in video AI but here's the crazy part it didn't take weeks it only took a few minutes invid AI analyzes every frame of the video to understand things like shapes and texture and lighting and then it uses that information to rebuild the entire video in a completely different style this means it can reconstruct any video in a Lego Pixar anime and basically any style that you want just imagine the possibilities with this want to watch Star Wars in St gibl style done you want to watch Breaking Bad as an early 2000s cartoon easy the crazy part is you don't need any editing skills just upload your video describe the style that you want and in video AI does the rest dude it is it's unbelievable so I spend uh a good portion of my weekends really trying to see where AI is uh and first of all that guy made it sound like if they were actually trying to create that trailer in Lego that it would only take a couple of weeks that would take months and call it two dozen people to do that it is an unbeliev with traditional um stuff it is an unbelievably difficult process I'm always scandalized by how long stuff without AI takes uh now with AI one person and it probably would admittedly take them at least days to get those shots right because as I am learning on the weekends the second you try to get consistency in your characters it it really breaks down it's very very difficult but something like Lego where there's a lot of training data then you can get some pretty cool outcomes and as long as you don't like if you try to do a full episode of that where it's not just random shots you'll see it starts to break apart plus you have to rerun a bunch of those prompts to get the one shot that finally looks right but when you're mapping AI on top of an existing video it is unbelievably good it is it's very scary like I took a video of my wife and turned into a puppet like a Kermit the Frog puppet and she was like freaking out she was like what because it it changes everything it changes the walls the floor her but it's her motion her voice it it is staggering where we're at and so without outing any names one of the most successful creatives in video games of all time no joke it this is somebody hopefully one day he'll just I'll get a chance to talk to him and he'll say yeah yeah you can talk about it openly um one of the most successful creators in video games all Full Stop period end of story the person I didn't even know it was one person but if I were to name like the things that have really blown my mind in Creative output tied to a video game this guy did most of them uh was talking to him and he's like dude behind the scenes the way that people are using AI now for game cinematics he was talking about specifically he's like we can turn around to cinematic in a few days wow he's like with consistency of character because the created their own thing to solve that problem and it'll be proprietary first before it goes wide and I was just like bro you got to get me in that room like I got to see this for myself because that's like the final frontier once you get consistency of characters unlocked unlocked and if he's telling me that's happening behind the scenes at the big companies what's it a year two years and it's in everybody's hands crazy it's going to happen the game's going to happen yeah and I mean look shout out to all my people that spent their whole lives trying to break into Hollywood been raising your family on it I get it man this is rough but then a parallel shout out to all my creators that have always been held back gayk kept whatever Now's the Time all gonna go away like you going to be able to tell whatever crazy story you want unbelievable all right taking it to DC for a weekend uh the BML PL BLM Plaza is being dismantled as we speak um this is from n wokeness is Twitter page they are ripping up the black lives matter signage that was painted on the crosswalks and this this is um I want to say in I forgot what the plaza is called but it's right by the White House in DC thoughts on the black Liv matter of Plaza being dismantled okay so I will go to when you're talking about edifices that are meant to reinforce values and ideas how long something stood the test of time I think really matters um I think that the BLM movement got captured very fast and so anybody who the core idea of uh when you look at the stats on black Americans they are struggling and everybody should want to solve whatever problem is creating that I'm going to go with money Printing and education that's going to be my quick punch line I know you and I slightly differ you want to focus on adults I want to focus on kids uh but that movement is a brand new B I think has been wildly co-opted the or organization uh did things that I I think are terrible and were not helpful and so given the divisive nature of that fine I get it um but this is one of those where the pendulum can swing too far and get people into trouble so given that it's new given that it became hyperd divisive given that the movement did not do the things that it was setting out to do I don't care like take it down whatever um but I don't like seeing people posting signs like winning and all that stuff which is a vibe that you're going to get from people um of a certain ilk I don't I don't want to reinforce that I get why people have beef with wokeness I can give you a whole treaties on it I will just ask people to do your best to channel our boy um Nelson Mandela who understood you've got to bring people together you've got to solve these problems and if you see it as your side winning if you're taking a tribal stance on this it's going to be bad mojo now that's a somebody who I am not here for the tyrannical controlling of speech all of that stuff um that people were lambasted for saying all lives matter that's crazy to me but at the same time don't swing too far it gets ugly in both directions yeah it's a ironic to me that the I think the people that are celebrating this movement are the same people that were trying to stop Robert eat Le statues from being taken down so it's like your statues can stay other people's statue can't now we're playing the oppression Olympics it's just not interesting to me so I think it's it was nice me and my daughter took a selfie on there I got the memory um but I don't need a 16 by 20 yellow print on a sidewalk to let me know the my life has value so that's interesting you're touching on a very good point which I think is worthy of drilling down is that for you an idea of representation like you want your daughter to see black voices celebrated yes that makes a lot of sense to me what would be the way that you think would be most profound for a young black kid to be like oh damn I can do whatever the [ __ ] I want good parenting um on the national level that scales I am not the voice for that I do not represent all the Black America I cannot drill it down to one sentence um what I would say though things like this which were a nod to it I think it helped but taking it away Tim I mean it's it's a use of resources I'll put it that way I I'm I'm struggling to find a articulate way to say it without they were already spent this was removed as an act of political yeah like you're making a statement by removing it so and to me that's more that's a more interesting angle of like you're going out your way to now take something down just as you were also protesting when people were going out their way to take other things down so are we allowed to keep things that monuments up or are we not allowed to keep monuments up cuz I feel like that gold poost is now changing with the celebration so here's where I would ask people to clock that one that if you've had a monument that has with the test of time then I would say pump the brakes before tearing it down even if you hate it and I'll use Winston Churchill as my example so I'm a Winston Churchill was a wildly flawed individual who you could look at him from an angle of this guy was evil yeah I'm sure he did dark and heinous [ __ ] as every US president has done behind the scenes dropping bombs all kinds of [ __ ] uh but at the same time that mother [ __ ] was the crazy man you needed to keep British people from speaking German so I would say the spite all of his flaws he's not the guy that you want to tear down is he the guy that you want to take you want to step back and really look at the reality of who these people are in totality yes that I love getting people to understand like honestly I don't think that parents are going to love my take on this but I'm going to give it anyway teaching real politi to certainly middle school and up that makes sense to me hey look you're in a violent world and there are good people scratch that you live in a violent World strong people will do um whatever the [ __ ] they want until they run into an opposing force that stops them and let me walk you through some historical examples uh genghiskhan being a go-to favorite and look even though gangas Khan did horrible [ __ ] and you could look at him through that lens he also gave us the um Silk Road which allowed for free trade which allowed for an acceleration of the modern world that we all now uh know and love and so you can't just sort of paint over all of this and say it's all good or it's all bad now I get why people are giving narratives because narratives really work and they get people excited and they give you an easy way to um believe in yourself Believe in Your Country whatever whatever uh I'm just not going to be that voice there are going to be plenty of other people that will say you need to simplify and whatever I'm just not able to give people that voice um so I'm for the well you live in an age of high velocity high volume of information and far better to just tell people the truth show them the stars in the sky give them the constellations but remind them that those are just stars the constellations are fake and then they need to in my estimation figure out when you make certain constellations they either make your life better or they make your life worse steer by the kpis that are affected when it comes to this stuff I think it is the wrong move to say well I don't like this person I think they're bad mojo I can't remember if it was Robert E Lee but it was one of the guys um on the Confederate side that they had when they were when they lost they actually conceded and one thing we never think about is why didn't the South become a bunch of terrorists why didn't they become a bunch of insurgents that just would not let the north um reintegrate the South mhm obviously it required a lot of Beats first Jim Crow laws all that but uh whichever one it was let's just say it was Robert E Lee it was one of them one of the big famous generals who told people don't do that go home go back to your Farms um raise your families do not become an Insurgency he could have left and said [ __ ] the north [ __ ] those guys burn it all down do not let them take it we're we're done as is a a standalone Nation but just like we did against the British you're now going to go underground and you're going to undermine them at every turn and if he had done that they would have followed step so is that statue up to celebrate racism [ __ ] that noise maybe and I'm sure a lot of people that are racists are here for it and they love it the most but do I get why that one of all the statues has stayed if that's the guy uh yes and so it's this complicated thing of a guy because I could be mashing people up but I think it was Robert E Lee that uh I think he was from Virginia whatever state he was from he was approached by the North and said we know that you don't like slavery so what the [ __ ] are you doing and he said I'm a I belong to my state first and my country second which tells you what that time was like and he was like my state is going that way I have to fight for them but he wasn't a guy that believed in slavery he was a guy that believed in statehood and so like as you start talking about all of this it's like paint the full complexity of that human being show people the stars in the sky not just the constellations now this is all going back to recency when you've had somebody that like that thing has stood for however long it's got to be 50 plus years I read that not that I think that Civil War ended 50 years ago I I just don't know when the statue was but it it has stayed up for a long period of time BLM four or five years I look at that very very differently because we have to understand and we've got to um inculcate certainly the youth with this idea that the pendulum swings the pendulum swings and don't get so swept up in anyone moment that you're not thinking for yourself that that would be my takeaway I agree all right we getting into some fun stuff uh children do you have uh 84 84 congratulations uh 70 wife my 17 wives yes that's a lot of wives yeah I have one wife which is enough I don't that this guy cannot believe that that would be true he's laughing so hard at it what I love is so I I don't know what culture this is in but um obviously when you can have that many wives and you can have that many kids it means you're very economically successful um now obviously I don't know that this is actually a pastoral Society but I will say that um that is when you understand that the number of wives that you can have is really an economic statement you understand why he's laughing that this is a guy that somehow some way uh has been able to be successful enough that he can support that many it becomes funny but I don't understand this modern movement towards this uh of I personally frame of reference but I personally the thought of having to upas multiple wives yikes man sounds or having multiple wives pull me in different directions like my wife who I love more literally more than I love my own life I would actually die for her um she has pushed me in directions like if she wants to see me and they have been amazing and I don't even want to know who I would be if my wife had shape me um but the thought of like having multiple people pulling me in different directions like that sounds nightmarish yeah uh I am not into it um and just I just want this funny video kind of explains what I'm going through right now so I would love to share this with you this is dating in 2024 AKA streets is trash for people that are just listening uh it's a cartoon of a man and a woman sitting across from each other and they're each asking each other questions basically trying to like trap each other uh into checkboxes that allow you to eliminate them and it's this really tit fortat exchange all right with that how much do you weigh how much money you got how many bodies you got do you pay all the bills do you have any student loan debt what's your credit score do you cook and clean how big is it how is it Che that is hilarious and absolutely terrifies me if this is what dating has become so early on in my relationship with Lisa I said one thing I want you to be very comfortable with I'm not going to be this is after I told her I loved her and all that after I fell in love is a better way to say it so I'm in love with this woman and I said listen I want you to understand there's a game a lot of people play the guy because I was broke at the time the guy ends up being successful the woman starts aging the guy leaves the woman and quote unquote upgrades her for a younger model I'm never going to do that to you I want you to understand that there are more attractive women than you just as there are more successful men than me I don't want you looking over my shoulder for a guy to upgrade me for and I want you to know I'm not going to look over your shoulder for a woman to upgrade you to this is the the game that I want to play with you is what does it look like to share a life with somebody the UPS the Downs The Goods the bads and talking about that early on was like okay you're invested in helping me become successful and I'm invested in sharing this life with you and understanding that you're going to age and the traditional things that um at a a glimpse women are valued for is not going to be the way that I value you I value us for being able to make each other better people for elevating each other that I feel better about myself and I'm with you and hopefully you feel better about yourself when you're with me and so it was like this is online dating was starting but was still like you looked funny at somebody that was doing online dating but what's happening is everybody's be coming uh checklist that you can set to filter the gazillion people that could come across your feed which I think is slowly training people to look at the world as a series of checklists rather than going this is actually a neurochemical response of like I want to see if I'm into you I want to see if you're into me in all these weird ways like Lisa and I have always referred to each other not as puzzle pieces but as like torn pieces of paper that somehow magically fit in enough places with all those Jagged edges m that like we somehow mesh and are able to make this work and then some of it is you have a lot of places that don't mesh and you've got to like Smooth those Corners out to bring that fit closer and closer together over time but if you're in this Perpetual like I'm looking for reasons to disqualify you you get this kind of Madness yeah it leav unhappiness and like transactional relationships which aren't what relationships are supposed to be it certainly does not strike me as fun thankfully I dodged that bullet there it is go all right everybody guys you were going to want to join us for those lives Monday Wednesday Friday 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time join us help shape the show means a lot if you haven't already be sure to subscribe and until next time my friends be legendary take care peace here is the brutal truth about scaling most entrepreneurs don't outright fail they plateau and if you're stuck right now you know how true that is it could be that your Revenue flat lines every time you step away or maybe you're trapped in a commodity Market that's racing to the bottom bot or maybe you're one of the lucky people who is navigating a very complex partner Dynamic that turns every decision into a battle these problems and a whole lot more can seem impossible until you break them all down into first principles my partners and I use this thinking to grow Quest Nutrition By 57,000 per in our first 3 years alone and scaled to a billion dollar exit and now I'm teaching this framework to a select group of entrepreneurs who are ready to scale now I want to be clear this is not for everybody because I'm looking to work with serious entrepreneurs that already have an established business and a proven track record of execution if that's you and you want to learn how to break through your biggest business bottlenecks using first principles thinking be sure to apply now just go to impact theory.com
