To stop our adversaries being aware of the reality situation and from investing into it and proceeding past. And because, again, we're artificially constraining ourselves. Right. Because we're trying to keep it a secret. Right. So now that game is changing. Right. That game is changing because it appears that China is making investments and has a large amount of interest in this topic.
And we're at a point now where if we continue to do that, we're going to simply fall behind. And I think there's been this delay within the Biden administration to just kind of ignore that problem for whatever problem is more relevant. He's probably more worried about his son and the legal issues he's in than this massive issue. I don't think he's running anything.
Whoever's been running it, I think. Yeah. So I think this is, I mean, can you imagine how President Trump would be remembered across history if he moved this conversation forward?
Well, that's why we have the red phone with Russia, right? Is it really red? Yeah, it used to be. I'm sure it's a text message now.
Well, they do, and they do with China as well now, although it's less public.
It used to be, but it was there in order to— Let's hear this.
Maybe it's time for another one.
We haven't had support from the top in the past. Right. So we're in such a position. You would have to have me working closely with the White House and you would have to have the White House's buy in on this. I think that's the only way.
And from the top of the executive branch, you use that position of influence, you pass additional presidential memorandums and executive orders that countermand previous memorandums that may have existed in the past in order to legally compel these organizations from the chief executive to be able to move the conversation forward.
to require them to bring this information out, to require them to collaborate. And it doesn't have to be a one-person job. You bring in some of the brightest people in our country in order to evaluate this data, come to a conclusion, and then share those conclusions with the American people.
I mean, ultimately, if the answer is that there is nothing unusual going on here, then we have to respect that, right?
Yeah, and I don't think that's the case here for all the reasons that we've discussed today. So ultimately, it's about finding the truth, right? It's not about finding your way to a conclusion that you already support.
We would have for the first time, I think, a clear direction of where we need to go as a society. It would revamp our academic processes, our fields of study, our beliefs in, you know, religious structures. I don't think they would nullify it. I think they would probably amplify it. And it would, I think, have the equivalent impact of a positive nuclear bomb on our economy.
We would have certainty in what direction to invest in and what technologies to pursue. And I think that by having that direction, that would, again, nuclear bomb level increase in capabilities where we would be able to, you know, be working on propulsion and energy systems and material systems that would advance us well beyond where we are today. It would leapfrog us.
And if we sit on our hands, we don't do that, we're going to find our adversaries in a position to do that instead, which would completely rewrite the geopolitical environment.
I think, well, we already are in AI to some degree, but I don't think it's a technology you can necessarily contain to one country. I mean, China already has their own AI out there. So I think it's going to be somewhat business as usual, at least on the AI side. Quantum computing, a little bit different.
The technology investment is much higher, but still, if China can come in and potentially steal that technology and replicate it, then we're just in another level of arm's race at that point.
But if we have the ability to invest in deep technologies that we aware have an endpoint in reality instead of having to guess the strategic value of something, it's going to allow us to focus our resources in a way that we haven't had the opportunity to do in this country.
I think it would give us a lot of reason to collaborate.
It's like we're all sitting in Plato's cave Duking it out Arguing about what's on the wall right when a few people are creeping upstairs realizing that we have a lot bigger things to worry about and
