Is the world going absolutely crazy?

0:10.0

If you are like most people and many of the people that I talk to and interact with,

0:15.0

they are overwhelmed.

0:17.0

They are inundated with how much is going on in the world.

0:21.6

The kind of craziness of Epstein file releases, war on Iran, the rise of artificial intelligence, the looming threat of it, basically taking over the economy, the conversations of whether or not the human species will even survive

0:39.0

artificial general intelligence. I don't know about you, but it seems like the dial of fear

of paranoia has been amplified. It's been turned up, without question. And the truth about the

1:50.1

But the truth is that no one can really know what's going to happen.

1:53.9

Nobody knows if a nuke is going to get used in the next year or two.

1:57.3

Nobody knows whether or not artificial and general intelligence or ASI is going to wipe us out

2:02.7

or help us become interplanetary. Nobody really knows how things are going to unfold.

2:07.1

And so my prediction isn't necessarily about what's going to happen with technology or in
