    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.
  • We rural folk aren't "Left behind" You city folks have gone off the rails.
  • It's incredible how highly "educated" some people can be--while remaining so naïve and misinformed.
  • @roncee1842
    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.
  • @sherbear8286
    I don’t think this guy knows anything more than anyone else about how AI will affect us.
  • @EPFForsyth
    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.
  • @MicahBratt
    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
  • @kylehagan3007
    Tom good job pushing back bro… excellent interview. This man is a would be authoritarian
  • @SawaEfimov
    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. This success reminds me of the dynamic shifts in wealth, the potential for conflict like war, and the looming specter of economic collapse. It's a reminder of the volatile yet rewarding nature of the cryptocurrency market. As we navigate through uncertain times and digital transformations, it's crucial to stay informed and agile in our investment strategies. Inspired by Salim Ismail's insights on how "Life As We Know It Will Be Gone In 5 Years," I'm reminded of the importance of adapting to changes and embracing innovation to secure our financiaI futures...
  • @Eterna7Plays
    Given who is creating A.I. in our timeline we should expect a horrific dystopia.

    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."
  • @catbert7
    Fascinating conversation, but Salim seems very surface-level. Everytime Salim gets challenged on the details of his position, he has none.
  • @SpruceUp612
    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.
  • @adamdonovan4071
    You will live in the pod and eat the bugs….you will own nothing and be “happy”, and they will redefine “happy” to ensure your compliance.

    The WEF loves people like Tom- a nice guy suffering from fantasy over facts on science subjects and a sucker for the scam artist.
