I just watched the second part. Thank you. Yes, the technocrats are trying to redefine humanity as nothing but meat-bags. Truncated. I do wonder what this means their inner lives looks-like. Brrr…
A slight modification on The Mule within Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy : The psychohistorians could not forecast The Mule, because he was more than a meat-bag. He was – by definition – outside their system. The Mule was a powerful Empath – including using empathy as an offensive weapon to modify individual and group behavior. As such, he fell outside a “Rational” system and the limits thereof. The psychohistorians only won the ‘game’ because The Mule proved to be sterile and his genes/abilities did not enter the long-term picture…
Doc, Brandon O’Connell’s got some decent arguments in his now unlisted youtubes that one nation (and its mafia) already has control over the backdoors and killswitches on 90+% of all digital control systems. The narrative that all major tech catastrophes of the last 20 years trace down to this nations’ warfare by deception is a narrative with legs. BO advocated watching Captain America Winter Soldier as an accurate metaphor.
Listening to the interview now Doc. First thought: it’s another involuntary dialectic that we all may or may not get any choice about. Digital vs analogue. And if things go horribly wrong in society in such a manner that the few 5 or 10% of the planet survive some genocidal problem, they will have a scapegoat to blame it on as accidental and/or intentional by some other agent than them. Remind anyone much of any other past group in history setting up political / military traps and home-ruled genocides?
