Summary

Zahra Sethna of Collapse Life discusses her transition from an idealistic UN employee to a critic of the organization. The conversation explores how biometric IDs, digital wallets, and algorithmic monitoring are creating a global “electronic concentration camp” that transcends national borders. Zahra analyzes the concept of “collapse” not as a sudden catastrophe, but as a gradual erosion of traditional lifestyles and institutional trust, mirrored by the historical fall of the Soviet Union. Ultimately, while the technocratic rollout is accelerating, human imperfection and decentralized resistance may cause these complex systems to fail.
