I personally don't want to live in the world that they're proposing, a world... where everything is digitized, everything is controlled, everything is run by AI. AI is making decisions for our health, AI is making decisions for all these things. So yes, a relatively small number of people have these visions. Most people
In life, if I go to my... I live in a rural area in northern New Mexico, beautiful part of the world. And when I'm home, I go to my local food co-op. That's where I get to connect with my neighbors. Really good people, Andre. You know, most of them are so... Their lives are so full with raising their children, working two or three jobs, trying to put food on the table, keeping things together.
They don't have time to think about this stuff. So they don't know... the specifics of what you and I are talking about. What they do know is that the world is changing and it's happening too fast. And I had a woman actually say this to me. She said, it's not, it's the changes are not chosen by us. They're happening to us. And so their answer is to pull back. They're saying, we need to slow down.
They're pulling their kids out of public schools to teach them the values that they cherish in their family. They're growing their own food. Less engaged in the banking system, less engaged in traditional forms of finance, retirement, jobs and careers, all of that. That's their answer is by going back to the basics. So, yes, it is a relatively small number. However, they now have the ability.
The policies are being written, as you and I are having this conversation. The policies are already in place. And some of those policies now are being made into law. And that law, just the way we have lobbyists for oil and gas industry and pharmaceutical industry, there are now lobbyists.
lobbying for these sustainable development goals in the US Congress and in the European Union, that's what changes everything. These are unelected officials. We didn't ask them to represent us and we didn't ask them to what their ideas are for a better world. They have assumed this position through the use of their own or misuse of their own power.
And now these policies are being imposed upon us. And the insidious thing is it is done so slick. The marketing is so slick and sexy. I know what's happening and I'm still in awe when I see the YouTube videos You know, commercials making this stuff look so sexy. For example, they're targeting young people.
You can put a computer chip in your brain, and with no wires, you can communicate with your keyboard and play all your video games, and a young person is going to say, sweet, you know, let me see if I've got this straight. I can play... I can play my video games and never touch the keyboard. And they say, yeah, yeah, you can do that. Well, who doesn't want that?
Because they've never been taught what the price is they're paying.
Well, we know from the laboratory experiments, the horrible things that happened to the primates that were used to develop the technology that Neuralink, for example, has been reluctant. They did come forward. They're reluctant because it's not what they want to emphasize. But the horrible things that happened to those primates to get to that point where it is now, FDA has just licensed it.
These computer chips for use in the human brain. Now, there's a flip side to all this. And there always is. I love technology outside my body. And I respect technology. And I respect AI. And I think if we harness the technology, it can lead us to amazing places without giving our power and our biology and our lives away to this.
Let me give you an example. I mean, this is a beautiful thing. A Neuralink chip for a man or woman who have given their lives in service to the battlefield of Afghanistan or Iraq and been blown to pieces, but are still alive to do that. And if they come home with only one arm or one leg or no legs, what a beautiful thing to take a robotic technology
and hook that to a chip in the brain that allows them to have arms and legs again, to hold their babies and to love their children and to feed themselves and wash and comb their own hair. I mean, what a beautiful thing. This is good technology. So it's not the tech. It's the thinking underlying the tech, the thinking that we are indoctrinated to accept.
This is it. We are led to believe that we are a flawed species. And they keep saying, and ultimately, the ultimate goal for much of this, you mentioned without saying the word, is immortality. They're afraid of dying. And they believe that if we can develop the technology to download consciousness onto a chip, which I believe is I know how deep you want to get in this. I believe it's not possible.
You can't. And the reason is because we are more than ones and zeros. And the scientific community is reluctant to accept that. So they are searching. I remember I was a kid in northern Missouri when Einstein left this world, and they took his brain and gave it to University of Kansas right across the state line.
And they dried it and thin sliced it so they could look into his brain and say, what makes Einstein so different from everyone else? They didn't find anything with the exception of one small feature. His brain had way more folds. than most brains do. Well, what that means is when you take that fold and you stretch it out, it means he's got more surface area, which means he's got more neurons.
They were looking for the information in his brain. The neurons are the antenna that tune us to the place in the field where our memories live. Studies are very clear on this, where our divinity lives. where our imagination, our creativity, our ability to love, all of those things are part of our divinity.
And the neurons are the antennae that tune us to our localized places in the field, which is why it makes perfect sense. If you give away your humanness to synthetics, to silicon organs, or the equivalent, silicon brains, You're not going to be able to tune to that.
You can still be alive, but what kind of a human are you if you've lost your ability for empathy, sympathy, compassion, love, forgiveness, and those kinds of things? So this is the whole point of where the technology is leading. We cannot capture consciousness on the computer chip because consciousness... This was, Brian Greene did an amazing interview with Joe Rogan, and they talked about this.
And ultimately what he said, he believes, and he thinks it's going to take another 100 years, is what Brian Greene said. He said he thinks that we will discover that the stuff we're made of, the quarks and the quantum particles, leptons and the quarks, when they behave a certain way, that's what we call consciousness. And I like Brian Greene a lot. In my opinion, he's missing the point there.
