We were allied with the Russians and now we're enemies with the Russians. This doesn't make any sense. There's some people who may be benefiting from this, but it's not the planet earth and it's not humanity. And I've spent a lot of time in China. China's an amazing place.

And they don't, we need to learn how to govern ourselves so that the governments aren't trying to figure out how to get an angle on each other so that We win and they lose because in this nuclear age, there's no winning and losing. Everybody loses.

Concentration of power in a small number of very wealthy people. And I think we let them do that until we don't. Or until the circumstances are such that it becomes apparent that, and this is where the homo sapiens sapiens comes in, it's time for humanity as a whole to wake up to its true nature. The species that is aware and is aware that it's aware, well, I don't think we've gotten there yet.

We haven't evolved quite that far. And the stakes are very high and the time is running out in a certain way because we are so precocious in our weapon systems. whether they're nuclear or drones or whatever, are getting so sophisticated. And then automatic weapons, autonomous weapons that make their own decisions with AI about killing robot armies. This isn't science fiction anymore.

Eisenhower pointed that out in 1960, I think it was, with the military-industrial complex. And then somebody recently said military-industrial-tech complex. Because now technology and AI and robotics and everything else, again, if we continue on the same path... It's like episodic destruction and then rebuilding.
