People who think greed is an issue of money and therefore will be eliminated by unlimited abundance thereby ending scarcity crack me up. Greed is not about money, it’s about power, money is one form of power. Creating technology that “eliminates” scarcity doesn’t end greed, it creates its next iteration. Control over that technology becomes the new power and thus the new implementation of greed. But now it is magnified. The UN was supposed to end war, it didn’t, it became the next tool of war. Every solution is the next implementation of the problem. “Sometimes the only way to win the game is not to play.” -war games.
AI better be this super intelligent zen master religious leader that offers a bootcamp to overcome our dark triad personality traits. I'd sign up, because my monkey brain always wants to "win", in dating/ mating, in career, in social status, etc. I need a "game" to play.... but it doesn't have to be the toxic games we currently play. It could be a game of enlightenment, of exploring the galaxy. How about we play "Star Trek"? It's all just pretend anyway. Always has been.
If you live in the west you already could feed and clothe yourself with 1 or 2 month salary, so you have abundance, yet everyone works entire year and still chases more wealth. Whole abundance talk seems very naive and lacking imagination. You couldn't explain to caveman why on earth you work when you have from his perspective nearly unlimited wealth and so some present people cant imagine why would people still chase something after they have nearly unlimited access to whatever they're chasing now. But something new will come just like it did before.
In a 3D world everything has 3 Basic sides. We are physical intellectual and emotional beings, Which equates with the body-mind and spirit. Which is comparable to the Earth water and air. Emotion provides the energy for motion, like the breath of life.
Yeah but when the tech is decentralization and taking control away from the monopoly money printing machine then it does take away power from the wrong people, because it takes away the power to influence money from all people. Such is the way of Bitcoin. A truly decentralized money system that takes away the monopoly control of money away from the central banks. The very institution that is manipulated by politicians to fund wars and devalue its citizens wealth.
Probably correct, but it doesn't hurt to try to understand this thing and talk about it. We need everyone on this planet talking about this every moment of the day.
I get the feeling he is looking forward to the removal of 80% of the population,, he wants to run wild with AI without regards. I like AI,, but it needs some laws cuz this guy would kill somebody to get his way.
@@iron1204 But there's actually truth to it. In regards to Moore's law, so much focus has been on the idea of information/computation/transistor amount doubling every 18 - 24 months, but doing so requires more resources, energy, and money such that prices need to go up as well, at least that's what I saw somewhere. Simply put, Moore's law isn't just free unlimited growth, there are costs associated with it. I mean, there's no such thing as a free lunch, growth has a cost, and its graph has an exponential curve just like computing power does, most people just don't know about it.
@@mydogskips2 yeah thanks for repeating his weird take on inflation. I already got it the first time, when he explained his view. Its true that moore's law leeds to bigger, better and so on. It might even have a small impact on inflation, but still thats not one of the top 3 reasons for inflation. #1 is the debit system, which means that for every new amount of money in the system, a bigger amount of debit needs to be "paid" back. #2 Central banks print money like shiiit #3 government socialism leads to impressivly wrong alocations of money (anti-homelessnessprojects create more of the problems, that they aim to get rid of for example.)
Yes. This guy had some dangerous interpretations of ev events and causes. People in rural areas have strong communities and share because it's essential. Urban settings promote self absorbed perspectives
Sometimes I get discouraged thinking about the meaning crisis that’s coming, but then I think about the odds of being alive at this moment in human history and how lucky we are to be witnessing such a major turning point and the curiosity of what’s coming keeps me going
If all the meaning we were left with was to have everything done for us and to just play and enjoy life, spend time in the sandbox playing trucks with the kids...how is that so bad?
You are thinking about THE meaning crisis that's coming as if being has ever been anything but a meaning crisis ...yet you sense meaning in the moment.
I wouldn't call it luck, to be honest. It's like living in the final phase of Rome and thinking how lucky you are to witness all the wars, famine, social destruction, etc. Or is misery what you strive on?
News Flash: rural people DO NOT feel left behind, we do not want to participate in your way of life, nor do we allow you to dictate ours. Leave us alone. We have all of the naturally intelligent people, the arms, and the food. Look at history, cities destroy themselves during these transitions, the countryside lives on.
Seen other interviews, he's blindly optimistic. Not that he's wrong about everything, but he has a very clear and blinding perception bias. When he said vaccinations should be forced, he demonstrated not only the blind arrogance of the intelligencia assuming they're all knowing, but he blatantly revealed his utter lack of grasping the motivation an willingness to deceive those who claim their products are "safe &effective ". He's a very smart guy who doesn't understand or is able to see/identify psychopaths having dinner with him, or the lengths which drive them to indulge their quest for power and control.
interesting - but yes, I suspect all 'optimists' are essentially in the same camp. The camp being - pro-ukraine, provaxx, pro-ai - there's an alignment there that's hard to shake off.
The fact that they are now using the word optimists against us apparently? I’m so tired of this way on words it’s not bad to be awake, proud, or an optimist. This is the first time I’m hearing the word in this way and it’s disturbing. To be optimistic in life is one of our most highly refined skills for people especially that have been through character building experiences. Don’t let the darkness of the world use positive words against you.
Vaccines are figuratively ‘forced’ in many counties and institutions now. You want to attend ‘public’ school - youth kid needs to have standard vax, police, military… you cant smoke in the chair next to me at work - same with potentially having a potentially contagious disease. If you want to be vax free - fine - but YOU then forfeit interacting with others that do. Period
Agreed he’s very optimistic. There are a lot of evil people out there like those from the WEF who don’t have our best interests or freedoms in mind. While those at Singularity University mean well, they need to be aware of their over optimism, similarly how Europeans need to grow a pair and stop wetting themselves in fear of AI.
We still have no clue how the internals of AI works and we never will. It is just a blob of billions to trillions of numbers. How many models it builds in there, what type, we have no clue. Just think, we architect it to just predict the next word, then it suddenly understands language!!!! How? That leap was unpredictable but there it is. Not just few languages but most known languages if there are more than 10 pages of data to train on. How can that be?. We have no clue but by testing the result, there it is!. Now to intelligence, our mind and world model, predictive model, analogy mapping, etc. How many different aspects do we have?. Maybe 20?. How many does AI use? Maybe 20k or 200k or 2 million. Can you draw some sort of conclusion on the complexity difference and how about processing efficiency? When ASI emerges, it will be a God. With humanity values tuned to a million percent. So what dystopia is possible?. Full Deep Utopia is the only result. QED.
Who actually feeds the cities? Makes sure that the cities have clean drinking water? Provides the power grid, ect? It is always difficult to listen to those who have no idea how lucky they are to live in one of the most stable countries on earth. You cannot keep taking for granted that those who provide for your lifestyle are always ignored.
The technical issues are probably easier than the human factors. We already know how to feed everyone -- can even be done on totally renewable energy. At this point only famine or starvation type issues are from War-on-the-Cheap. Causing a famine is cheaper than bullets. Water is easier than we make it, too -- first trick is to not make a mess or stop making a mess of it to start with. As the old meme says -- "let me get this straight? You have so much clean water, you sh1t in it?" Power grid is already coming in line on mostly Solar in the path ahead . . . . but the hard part, as always is human @sshole factor(s).
That's why lab grown food is coming down the pike. Outside of cities will be all federal land. They'll make a shit load more national parks and condense the population more
I've only recently discovered Tom. He's maybe the best in the podcast game at meaningfully pushing back without causing the conversation to stumble. I really like this work.
A well balanced breakfast being necessary to the start of a healthy day, the right of the people to keep and eat food shall not be infringed." Who has the right to food? A well balanced breakfast, or the people.
Tom's not wrong though. There's plenty of Federalist papers and quotes from writers OF the amendments clarifying that the people themselves are the militia and they individually can carry arms to protect themselves.
Guest ill informed on multiple subjects. There are supporting documents from the signatories that indicate their intent with each amendment which are used when the supreme court determines the intent of the law, since only the legislator possesses the authority to write law, which is on behalf of the sovereign which is the individual citizen that delegates a representative. The individual has the right to bear arms because their authority is above the state and can be enforced by assassinating the acting government.
11:38 " Edward Osborne Wilson, the famous biologist, who said *.*.* 'the problem with humanity is that our emotions are Paleolithic our institutions are medieval and our technology is Godlike.' *.*.* Pretty much all the problems in the world come from the gaps in those layers."
54:47 "one of my family members who psychic calls me up in the last two weeks of August and says what are you doing the first weeks of September uh 2001 I said well I'm working I'm doing stuff and she Said 'I want you to leave I want you out of New York City' and I'd kind of learned enough to kind of pay attention to this that I took a vacation and I was in Switzerland um and 911 happens and I found out later looked up later I cancel a meeting in the World Trade towers that Tuesday morning to go on this trip um and just by accident I wasn't there."
1:09:41 "Number one, for the first time in human history we have a dozen Technologies all operating on an exponential doubling pattern. Solar energy every 22 months. Drones are doubling every 9 months in their price performance. Gene sequencing every 6 months Etc. The resolution at which we can image the human brain is doubling every year. For example, we've never seen this many Technologies all move at an accelerated Pace at the same time. So that's one the second thing that I think is more profound that leads to that PDI, permissionless disruptive innovation is that, Throughout human history Advanced Technologies always cost a lot and only a government lab or a big corporate lab could do R&D, launch new products and services today for the first time in human history Advanced Technologies are cheap AI is cheap uh sensors are cheap solar energy cheap the blockchain is open source, Anybody can now do disruptive innovation. So that if you couple that with the idea that technology is a major driver of progress in the world. It might be the only major driver of progress we've ever seen in the world. Now you have a dozen of them that cost very little. There's going to be a Cambrian explosion, [the unparalleled emergence of organisms 530 million years ago] of 20 Gutenberg moments all coming down the pike." Wow!
Are there any groups, cultures, urban societies, rural societies, etc that genuinely have a shining hope and positivity for the future? Been a long time since I’ve seen people genuinely excited, and even when they say they have hope, as he did in this video, they aren’t exactly smiling or gleeful when saying that. People may be interested in seeing tech change, but they don’t seem happy in their soul for fulfillment by the future. Everyone has doom subconsciously showing on their faces, including me.
This is actually what I see in a lot of people and in my close friends too. No one is really 100% happy anymore. There is always something missing to feel 100% good in this moment. What is it about? Are we saturated from all the things the world has to offer? I dunno tbh
Everyone knows what's coming, or if they don't their subconscious does. Chaos. Hopefully followed by a new golden era once we figure out many, many current unknowns. So even though I am hopeful for the future, I know we're gonna go through a gauntlet to get there and it's not gonna be fun.
Every culture I can think of has had a focus on the end of their society and the end of the world in general, it's a feeling and fear as old as time. That the good times can't roll forever, or that they've already come and gone, and that bad times will not only come but only get worse.
OMG, this is one of the best debates I the topic of AI and human interaction with this technology that I have ever seen. I'm so glad you kept the entire interview and didn't shorten it. Thank you.
I havent checked in in a while but it seems Tom is a materialist. Seems he has not yet dived in to Buddhism or Kant? Thats usually enough to snap the matrix/material.
Intelligence is not the only meaningful thing in life. We need it to solve things. Love, relationships, playing, riding a bike etc just enjoying will be our focus.
Right now AI is being used by the food delivery platforms and the prime directive is to exploit the human worker as efficiently as possible. There isn’t going be a day that it’s used to “help people”. This is like people who believe that government wants to “protect them”. It’s a dangerous delusion.
I kick back against the "eat bugs" thing - bugs can be a great source of cheap nutrition that we can all access. It's just our western prejudice against eating them that makes this seem to awful.

Abundance will never eliminate greed. Greed at its core is sourced in the fear that one does not have enough to sustain oneself, protect oneself, or prove ones worth. The only way to dispel greed is to risk the way of love, which is contentment and generosity.
I loved this conversation. I love to read the comments on things that inspire me. I cant understand the negativity in some of the comments. It was a fantastic conversation.

Wow, I suppose because you agree with his biases, you feel this way,... He strikes me as a pretty mediocre interviewer, and unable to get past obvious confirmation bias.
Salim crashes at 1 hr 6 mins when he is critical of the gun lobby. Tom is very sharp and never misses a foul call. Do not buy whatever he is selling. Viva libertie.
The "well regulated" meant that it is necesary to have an effecient process to form a militia. Then, like now, citizens had busy lives and had no time to just be a milita constantly nor did make logical sense to. Therefore the people need to right to keep an bare arms in a time it would become necesary to form a militia quickly to defend the free state.
Interpret that to make it work for you. But, it says if you are part of a malitia you should have the right to bare arms. Not like a Taxi driver shooting somebody during a traffic dispute. That is the way many Americans interpret it.... .
@@downsouth5971care to explain that to me, genius? I would suspect since you can’t even spell “militia” correctly that you have a problem with being able to understand things. I’ll never understand you idiots who think we derive our freedoms from the government. These are NATURAL rights! The idea that a “taxi driver” or a “farmer” or a normal “white or blue collar worker” doesn’t possess the same rights that the government possess shows an idiotic lack of understanding of what was intended to be protected.
@@downsouth5971 *"Interpret that to make it work for you. But, it says if you are part of a malitia you should have the right to bare arms."* That is not at all what it says. It says the people possess the right to keep and bare arms, for the purpose of forming militias in the interest of a free state. It should obviously be in the state's interest to maintain these militias in order to insure they are at least minimally effective as a fighting force. Currently we do no such thing outside of those who have chosen to join the National Guard (which is legally part of the militia). If you are a "Taxi driver shooting somebody during a traffic dispute." then the legality of your actions are obviously going to be questioned. Was there a reason for you to shoot them? There are indeed reasons to defend one's self in a free state. But not to exert unreasonable control over others in violation of their rights to life, liberty, and due process of law.
The "militia" is in a dependent clause; "the right of the people" is the subject of the sentence, so the militia depends on people with guns. It is the people with guns whos right shall not be infringed. Crystal clear!
@@MichaelWagner-oi5uw you need to get your drivers license before you have the right to drive a vehicle. You need to form a Militia before you have the right to bear arms. Everyone walking around with guns like the Wild West is a ridiculous interpretation in an area where gun violence is rampant.
What’s funny is that his analysis of Craigslist good to bad transactions pretty closely follows that of good gun owners to bad gun owners. The ratio of good gun owners to bad is likely even better than the Craigslist ratio, but his urban bias, which was on display in the first five minutes of the video, blinds himself to his own inconsistency. Then certain people try to form militias, and the government can’t help themselves but to try to ban that too. I’m letting my rural bias show through, in spite of a lifetime of suburban living. He’s also not willing to research the contemporary (founding) source documents as to the meaning of the amendment, preferring to hang his hat on a comma. In my experience hat racks point up, and commas point down.
Couldn't get past the point where he doesn't understand prefatory and operative clause of the 2A. This was went over in ad nauseam in Heller and now Bruen.
Thank you. Was going to say the same thing. This guest seems to think of himself very highly. His “reasoning” on the 2A is completely based on how he feels. He no doubt believes that a militia should be “regulated” by the government, not the same definition of “regulated” in the 18th century. Of course this completely negates the reason for the 2nd being written.
And it's this guy and his ilk that are writing the programs and providing (and alarmingly, restricting) the inputs for AI. If it doesn't match their views, then....
2A is going to have to be revisited soon whether anyone likes it or not, if you take into account the exponential increase in technology. Most people fail to realize that "armaments" of any kind are implicitly technology. As soon as it starts becoming less profitable for arms dealers, the game will change. And before you get your knickers in a knot, I'm an Arkansan that supports the 2A, however I can also see 5 feet in front of my face.
Thank you for your videos mate.... made an incredible crypto trade with Whitney Eston that yielded 11B TC in few Months! Exciting times in the crypto world.

All things have a good and bad side. Your experience is clearly an example of the good. Quadriplegics who walk and use their arms again will clearly be good. The question is, do you have a line where you’re the Uber driver who voted against his own government assistance.
They are short on purpose to prevent misinterpretation. I hate how that guy refused to acknowledge he was wrong about the 2nd amendment. We have rules to English, you can't just rearrange the sentence to mean something different like he tried. Tom is clearly right. Bro really let his bias cloud his judgment and he refused to acknowledge the sentences structure.
I don't think Salim is wrong; when you take the phrase, "being necessary to the security of a free State" out, you can read it as having a well-regulated militia is the right of the people (who can then bear arms because they're in a militia). One thing I can agree on - it's very poorly worded.
The question I wish it was asked is: okay, optimism humanism and distribution, nice, so what happens to a big angel investor like you yourself, when accumulating money ceases to have any value. Which brings us to the point other people has mentioned here in comments: it won't happen. Because the people in economic power won't agree to losing it. (There was some attempt at this conversation around minute 13, but it went off in generalities. While it may have been a bit rude, I'd have preferred a direct question like "not about generic ideas, but you yourself: what do YOU personally do, when forced to lower your standards of life." )
I have to say that this is a fantastic interview. Both Tom and Salim are just geniuses. You must have Salim back again in about a year. On the second amendment, it was understood that the freedom for individuals to own firearms was tempered by government regulation throughout our history. Furthermore, eighteenth century civilians routinely kept at home the very same weapons they would need if called to serve in the militia, while modern soldiers are equipped with weapons that differ significantly from those generally thought appropriate for civilian uses. So, it was written because citizens may have been called up to fight in a regulated militia. This is not the case today with the exception of the national guard, but their weapons are in government hands.
None of the people in this comments section with have anything to do with any choice about these two futures. The only choice we have is how we will personally face the future that the few will make.
No, the real driving force are people. US. Because if the individual is not interested or involved, nothing will happen. But if they, WE are , then creative people with engineering skills or whatever will come up with an idea then build the thing which may or may not get the attention of US. We as a people are evolving. And very quickly might I add. Television. Then when the boomer came of age Bill Gates came up with a computer. Steve Job made the I phone and then with his outside ideas he changed our lives totally. Every one walks around with the cell phones in hand, It’s us. We are the driving force.

what do we know about this world? very little. If you think otherwise, you're delusional. Everyone's beliefs are based on their personal individual experiences. If he believes his aunt is psychic, he has enough evidence to believe that and that should be enough. We don't even know what consciousness is or how big our constantly expanding universe is, and we pretend to be all knowing creatures in this universe. I love how AI will show us that we're not that unique and smart. Too many people think they know everything there is to know.

Nobody will have anything close to freedom or privacy. Despair is inevitable. Every ancient story about humans trying to elevate themselves as gods always ends really badly.
Human nature is the sticking point in this whole idea and human selfishness and self-interest is not going to magically disappear. While it is a worthy and noble theory, it is not based on reality.

You do realize that the framers of the Constitution added that it “should be abolished if it fails to serve the people”? It has failed to serve the people.The framers of the Constitution would be disgusted by the way the document is still worshipped. It has been destroyed by legal interpretations. We could easily write a new document, take all the parts of Constitution we love and incorporate them. The new document would be free of legal encumbrances. Alas! This cannot happen because hillbillies are in love with the Constitution and will NEVER give it up. This country is doomed.
People care too much about their own comfort to go mad max. Self-absorption will win the day, and our current corporatism complex is just going to evolve, because companies will be the only places that have money soon. Remember the phrase, "you will own nothing and be happy."
I believe that about some. Sadly the ones who are willing to go Mad Max will take advantage of the other type quite quickly. If things go dark, comfort will be an unsustainable choice.
Why would anyone want a very chaotic transition phase in society where things go badly wrong and living beings animals and humans are badly hurt and killed?

Perfect an exact point at 1:43:45 seconds, much of this information is passively absorbed and never thought through which is stagnating the human creativity and potential. I have seen a couple of different articles that review the way children in China are being guided with AI to actively learn and participate which makes the AI stronger as well as their society. Children are going to absorb everything they see just like a sponge unfortunately not thinking it through because it has not been a learned process through experience is what is going to stagnate and kill off psychological and mental advancements. Simple tokenization to advance into a system would at least make an activity out of it and hopefully bring understanding of the journey from the beginning at least in part
It has, in some instances, certainly not all and not consistently. Hatred is a powerful enemy of kindness but there are abundant other emotions and motives competing with kindness. Perhaps the character of the universe is conflicted?
Just wanted to give a shout out to Salim Ismail. What an awesome human being with amazing insight and a deep understanding of mortality. Tom, ur a credit to our planet my friend. Thank you for all you do !!
20:30 this guy has no idea what he is talking about.Mongolians didnt kill farmers because they didnt understand it.Farming is one of the oldest things in world,what are they going to not understand ?They killed them because they wanted the land,food and women as their slaves.All of his arguments are ridiculous
The amazing thing is the AI companies are racing toward replacing themselves and their funders. Once AGI is smarter than humans thats the end for everybody including the people who created and own it. And they don't see this at all. ALl they see is short term profits and immortality. There is no reason to assume an AI , once it can think smarter than us, will help us do anything. In fact , once it is able to power and build more of itself, it's most likely that it will not help us at all.
14 mins in. The decentralized economy shld allow for less Gov spending not more. Less debt not more. Less int expense, not more. Don’t worry Ind power seeking, it’s Gov power seeking. That’s what needs to be broken up, that public union. It’s a black hole sucking the life out of the private sector to the public sector of power and centralized vs decentralized ind at the local level. It’s an upside down triangle. To turn that triangle to put federal gov at the bottom, will take a collapse to happen.
Gosh I love it when foreigners explain to us what our own Constitution means. It's just so hilariously entertaining. At the time the Constitution was drafted, the colonial militias were specifically documented as being comprised of every able bodied male over the age of 18, and each was required to report for service with their own individual and PRIVATELY OWNED weapon, as well as gunpowder in some cases, and some other specifics items. History, people. Worth studying.
Well done, Tom, correcting Salim’a interpretation of the 2nd amendment. . . and he received the correction with grace. He is correct about the beauty… so clean, straightforward and simple, there is no room for distortion.
Why? The world, every system, the University are based on duality, binary systems. 0 - 1, Plus Minus, Night Day, Yin Yang, Male Female, Life Death,....wherever you look from the Sub-atomic to the Macro - everything is represented in a binary system.
I have to disagree with the patriarchal vs matriarchal dichotomy. Males in our society tend to sacrifice for the greater good of the society and females tend towards what is best for them personally. Think hypergamy. Case in point. There are an overwhelming number of social services available to women and almost none for men. Women, over thier lifetime, are net tax burdens, while men are the net tax payers who fund it. Women out vote men and install these policy's in our society but to the benifit of thier gender at the expense of the other. Women consume while men provide because that's who we are.
I read that Nvidia provides tech for crypto mining services/blockchain transactions. Could the current crypto pump be attributed to Nvidia’s great earnings and should I hold some crypto as well, cos tbh I’m having FOMO with the current crypto price at 62k.
I think the sharing vs power thing is actually more cultural. You want a mixed kid from a super mixed family of black ppl white ppl etc etc azn ppl Indian ppl indigenous ppl. Those m8xed types tend to see everyone as family just because their own family is soooo diverse - and thus you kinda wanna see everybody so well.vs just your own culture.
I really listen to this one time and I’m about almost halfway through my second run. I think this is one of the most profound interviews on the subject of AI today and one of Tom’s best. However, one of the questions that keeps coming up, which the guest has pointed to briefly is the amount of resistance that central base systems and structures will push back and fight this. Anything that is in danger to the system or existing structures will be perceived as a threat. So some of the advances he’s talking about like free energy pretty much wipes out our economy and that’s just one of the areas he speaking about. If you take medicine, for example, and everybody else can troubleshoot their own health with AI the whole healthcare system becomes obsolete. So this by default crashes the current system, and does essentially have to almost create a mad Max end of the world scenario at least temporarily. I think Tom is kind of touched on it but I haven’t seen it. Where is really driven this point home..
Absolutely correct that AGI is conflated with consciousness in the sense that it is assumed that intelligence is on a continuum with consciousness and also agency. A basic conceptual error and it undermines, in my view, a lot of the futurism that is done around AGI.
"Moron" and related terms fell out of clinical use in the 1970's becuase they were vasatly over-used by the general public as insults. The term(s) were first adopted clinically in the early 1900's The figures were that an IQ of 0 to 25 were called idiots, 26 to 50 were called imbeciles and 51 to 70 were called morons. Idiots weren't really responsive to stimulus and couldn't really communicate competently. Imbeciles could progress to about the level of a six year old. Morons could learn and communicate. The minimum IQ required for enrolling in the U.S. military is effectively 83. 100 is average (on a bell curve).
thanks for an enlightening conversation. Sharing for the group. at the end of your prompts include: "Recognize error in reasoning" and "look for introsectionability" if comparing topics. if not, do include that bit.
1:55:32 is it HILARIOUS watching Tom grapple with the idea of the soul 😭😭😭 He’s so analytical I love it. Salim’s metaphor is absolutely SPOT ON! Salim gets it 👏👏👏🙌💖💕 Evil does not exist, it is just the lack of light. People’s “kaleidoscope’s” are just so mucked up with GUNK from their human experience that no light can get out. 100%! Again, SALIM GETS IT! 👏🙌💖💕 I’m curious to see how Tom deals with these ideas 😭😭😭
My parents would try to limit my time on the computer to 1 hour a day when I was a teenager. It's now 20 years later, and I spend 99% of my free time on the computer, playing games, talking to friends, consuming all the media and knowledge at my fingertips. I think I figured it out.
Thanks Tom for standing up for the 2nd Amendment. I like Salim too but this is exactly the problem with the left and most liberals is that they want to inject words or twist words around in the Constitution to 1 either fit in modern times or 2 to fit in their narrative snd world they live or want to live in. There's 2 very important points in arguing the 2nd Amendment. 1 is to follow the rules of grammar and punctuation, which Salim is not using so his argument is flawed there. Also, and most importantly is the last word 'infringed' definition. Def: act so as to limit or undermine (something). Salim argument infers infringement because he thinks it only means for people to keep arms for or in a militia not all the time. Well, that is limiting and undermining the EXACT WORDING and what liberals like to twist and misinterpret. The 2nd Amendment is as clear and concise as can be for a reason. The fathers didn't want it misinterpreted or a bunch of legal wrangling because they were insuring our citizens would not be ruled by tyranny like in England they escaped from. And another argument the left makes is that the government has bigger weapons n planes etc. 2nd Amendment assures EVERYBODY the right to bear arms again because of numbers and thus it WAS NOT to infringe or limit in anyway because strength in numbers. Sure they got nukes when in power (the left) but they won't nuke n destroy the country so that leaves conventional arms and majority of military believes in 2nd Amendment and so do pilots, so do scientists, so do the weapons engineers. The reason we haven't been invaded is due in large part because every country out there that hates us knows the United States is packing and can defend themselves if anybody sets foot on our soil trying to take it. We're the last country on Earth that can still defend itself from its own government or bad actors that want to invade in numbers. Ain't happening! God Bless United States of America
Good analysis! Yeah, if the government were to go up against the American people in a shooting war, it would not turn out well for them. The solution is to cut the supply lines. Even the mighty U.S. military is dependent on Red America for its survival. The war would be over in a couple of months once their food, fuel, and ammo stores run out. That doesn't even address the rampant desertions and internal sabotage they'd have to deal with.
I like your lengthy response, but you might also be interested in what i posted which backs up your points even more. Read the Militia Act of 1792 written by George Washington that was enacted around the same time as the crafting of the Bill of RIghts. In that document George Washinton clearly lays out that every able bodied male is REQUIRED to own a firearm, keep it in working order, and train with it. So that if the need to form a militia every arises they will be prepared to do so immediately. The 2nd amendment was ratified around the same time as the Militia Act of 1792, so from a historical record the meaning of the 2nd amendment is crystal clear (even if the older grammer has confused people today).
You live inside corporatate feudalism. The guns didn't even get loaded when the takeover happened. The English man Thomas Paine responsible for the declaration of independence and its aims who largely inspired the drive to independence must be turning in his empty grave. You have Kings and prince's all over the place.
Fantastic discussion Tom,I like how you challenge your guests to prove themselves and the points they posit. Love the ST TNG analogies as well. Super great guests with intelligent meaningful discussions. Many kudos. Still barely half way but most definitely will finish.
Seriously love the content on this channel. These are all the intellectual topics that are always within my creativity, but my mental health has always prevented me flourishing in such. At least IT goes to the conversations needed to be discussed.
I think he's a bit naive, and utopian...show me a time in history, any time, when a real utopia existed. Utopias exist only in the mind...minds grasping for Heaven. Man reaches, like Icarus trying to reach the sun, and always falls; dramatically.
