Now, what if I told you your cargo call was the Constitution?

Oh, snap.

No, more that you can't, you're trying to go through the motions to summon again, but you don't know how it works.

Well, you're getting what has been called the China convergence because that's actually – it turns out that corporate fascism is the only way to operate government at large scale.

So all of your countries, no matter what they're going to call themselves, are basically slowly merging on this one institution, which is going to be corporate fascism.

So I wrote a book on it, Total State, if anybody wants more.

Well, I mean, when I say corporate fascism, I mean like the state operating, we're all moving to the China model.

Like technically they're communists, but in actuality, it's actually just fascism.

And that's the only way you can actually manage information.

You can handle immigration at scale.

You can still have a market economy, but continue to have control over information.

Yeah, we have popular sovereignty as our legitimating thing.

So we're gonna go through the motions of that kind of stuff, but we're all moving towards that same government system because it's the only thing that works at scale.

I don't like that.

I wish we would scale down governments, but as long as we're moving towards larger scale governments, this is the only way we're gonna go.

How is that not what you're under?

Yeah, you definitely have these situations where the entire system is designed to socially engineer people to fill those spots.

It's not organic community for the sake of human flourishing, it's community and connection only to the extent which it serves the system, which is why I think Nick Land is one of the most important philosophers working right now.

I've had him on my channel several times, but his point is ultimately that AI is going to outlive the need for human beings, that basically we are the sex organs of capital and we are creating

autonomous systems that are just going to simply use and discard us at the end of the day.
