Summary
Glenn Diesen discusses the historic crossroads world powers once again find themselves at in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which will determine which countries and regions will fall behind and which ones will leapfrog and dominate. He examines this struggle through the prism of geoeconomics, the splinternet, censorship, and how all countries are now racing to develop their own technological sovereignty in all spheres (e.g. internet, smartphones, social media, software, hardware, operating systems). He fears the trend (e.g. social credit system, Covid passports) suggests we are moving away from democracy and more toward political authoritarianism or fascism. He looks at the trend toward global governance and regionalism as Europe decides whether it will stay with Atlanticism or move closer to Greater Eurasia.

| 0:55.8 | hit one of the most important themes in the world today, you know, those two themes of the great |
| 1:01.5 | powers and the conflicts now that are being generated between the great powers, Russia, China, |
| 1:06.5 | U.S., and the Great Reset, as I call it, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And we're at a crossroads, |
