meaningful insights into finance and beyond

8
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:18,166
welcome back to episode 15

9
00:00:18,233 --> 00:00:19,300
where we're exploring

10
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:21,700
the critical intersection of technology

11
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:23,500
policy and innovation

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,700
will delve into how government regulations impact

13
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:30,066
emerging tech sectors like fintech crypto

14
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,933
artificial intelligence energy and defense technology

15
00:00:34,066 --> 00:00:36,500
with insights from leading venture capitalists

16
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,500
Mark Andreasen and Ben Horowitz of A16Z

17
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:41,700
in Silicon Valley we'll discuss

18
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:44,466
the delicate balance between fostering innovation

19
00:00:44,466 --> 00:00:46,700
and implementing sensible regulations

20
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,433
welcome to our deep dive into Tekken politics

21
00:00:50,433 --> 00:00:53,000
after this crazy election yeah

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:53,300
seems like

23
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:55,500
everyone's talking about how intertwined everything is

24
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,466
exactly and we've got two interviews to unpack here

25
00:00:58,466 --> 00:01:01,266
a lot of interesting stuff and uh

26
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,466
some pretty wild theories

27
00:01:02,466 --> 00:01:03,966
well let's jump right in okay

28
00:01:03,966 --> 00:01:06,566
so one speaker actually thinks we're living in

29
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:09,100
a branched timeline a branched timeline

30
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,966
yeah like we're on one path

31
00:01:10,966 --> 00:01:13,200
but things could have gone a totally different way

32
00:01:13,433 --> 00:01:15,966
they point to two big events okay

33
00:01:15,966 --> 00:01:19,800
the first one was the attempt on that politician's life

34
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,800
right they say

35
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,566
the world could be completely different

36
00:01:22,566 --> 00:01:23,866
if that had gone another way

37
00:01:23,866 --> 00:01:25,633
so like a turning point yeah

38
00:01:25,633 --> 00:01:29,033
interesting and the second event is the selection ah

39
00:01:29,033 --> 00:01:32,700
they think this was the first true internet election

40
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:34,200
we've had the internet for a while though

41
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,800
I know

42
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,100
but they have some reasons why this one was different

43
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:39,133
we'll have to get into that definitely

44
00:01:39,666 --> 00:01:42,633
but going back to that timeline split idea

45
00:01:42,633 --> 00:01:44,466
yeah it's kind of scary right

46
00:01:44,466 --> 00:01:45,866
I mean it makes you wonder like

47
00:01:45,866 --> 00:01:47,666
what if things had gone differently right

48
00:01:47,666 --> 00:01:49,066
like the sliding doors kind of thing

49
00:01:49,066 --> 00:01:52,933
exactly and the speaker actually brings up the JFK

50
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,666
assassination oh wow

51
00:01:54,666 --> 00:01:57,666
they're saying there's a similar lack of transparency

52
00:01:57,666 --> 00:02:00,366
around this attempt lack of transparency

53
00:02:00,366 --> 00:02:01,233
how so like

54
00:02:01,233 --> 00:02:02,666
there's no toxicology report

55
00:02:02,666 --> 00:02:05,300
and nobody's really demanding answers huh

56
00:02:05,633 --> 00:02:07,100
that's strange it's almost like

57
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,300
they want us to believe in a conspiracy

58
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:10,633
yeah I see what you mean

59
00:02:10,633 --> 00:02:12,700
and this ties into a bigger issue

60
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:13,800
what's that

61
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,800
people just don't trust institutions anymore

62
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,366
yeah that's a huge problem

63
00:02:17,366 --> 00:02:19,600
if we can't get straight answers about something this

64
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,033
big what can we trust

65
00:02:21,033 --> 00:02:21,566
hmm right

66
00:02:21,566 --> 00:02:22,866
it makes you question everything

67
00:02:22,866 --> 00:02:25,800
exactly and you know what else made me question things

68
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:26,800
what's that

69
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,566
the amount of money going to activist groups

70
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:31,100
during this election oh yeah

71
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:32,066
I heard about that like

72
00:02:32,066 --> 00:02:35,666
over a hundred million dollars funneled through Ngos

73
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:37,100
100 million yeah

74
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:39,766
and a lot of those Ngos get funding from the government

75
00:02:39,766 --> 00:02:41,833
so the government's basically funding activism

76
00:02:41,833 --> 00:02:43,866
well that's what this speaker thinks huh

77
00:02:43,966 --> 00:02:46,400
they call it soft totalitarianism

78
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,566
soft totalitarianism yeah

79
00:02:48,566 --> 00:02:50,633
it's like the government's trying to control things

80
00:02:50,633 --> 00:02:52,433
indirectly control things

81
00:02:52,433 --> 00:02:53,500
how through these groups

82
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:55,566
they can censor certain viewpoints

83
00:02:55,566 --> 00:02:57,400
without directly doing it themselves

84
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,966
exactly it's sneaky

85
00:02:58,966 --> 00:03:00,866
it's a bit unsettling it is

86
00:03:00,866 --> 00:03:02,866
and they're not just talking about this election

87
00:03:02,866 --> 00:03:05,066
they see it as a pattern like what

88
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:06,600
like with Operation Choke Point

89
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,833
I've heard of that the government pressured banks

90
00:03:08,833 --> 00:03:11,266
to stop working with certain businesses

91
00:03:11,266 --> 00:03:13,833
right because they didn't like those businesses exactly

92
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:15,833
and then there was the Canadian trucker strike

93
00:03:15,833 --> 00:03:16,366
oh yeah

94
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:18,366
protesters had their licenses threatened

95
00:03:18,366 --> 00:03:20,000
even their kids wow

96
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,966
that's intense

97
00:03:20,966 --> 00:03:23,566
and then there's this thing called the Wells notice

98
00:03:23,966 --> 00:03:24,566
the Wells know that

99
00:03:24,566 --> 00:03:25,366
I'm not familiar with that

100
00:03:25,366 --> 00:03:27,100
it's a notice from the SEC

101
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:30,566
saying a company might be charged with something okay

102
00:03:30,566 --> 00:03:33,866
but just the possibility of charges can ruin a company

103
00:03:34,366 --> 00:03:35,033
how so

104
00:03:35,033 --> 00:03:37,666
other companies get scared and refuse to work with them

105
00:03:37,666 --> 00:03:39,233
even if they haven't done anything wrong

106
00:03:39,233 --> 00:03:42,000
yeah it's like weaponizing uncertainty

107
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,666
that's pretty messed up it is

108
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,033
and now for something a little lighter

109
00:03:47,033 --> 00:03:48,000
okay I need that

110
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,000
one speaker joked about a department of Government

111
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,033
Efficiency uh huh

112
00:03:52,033 --> 00:03:54,166
they called it doge doge

113
00:03:54,166 --> 00:03:55,466
like the meme these speakers

114
00:03:55,466 --> 00:03:57,866
a big Elon Musk fan uh huh

115
00:03:57,866 --> 00:04:00,066
but it does raise a good question about that

116
00:04:00,433 --> 00:04:01,366
can the government

117
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:03,966
ever be as efficient as a tech company

118
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:05,700
that's a good question like

119
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:08,100
imagine if they could move at that speed

120
00:04:08,833 --> 00:04:10,033
what could they accomplish

121
00:04:10,033 --> 00:04:12,066
what could they accomplish so much right

122
00:04:12,066 --> 00:04:13,266
it's an interesting thought

123
00:04:13,266 --> 00:04:16,433
it is but then we hear about these mouse wigglers

124
00:04:16,433 --> 00:04:17,966
mouse wigglers yeah

125
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:18,600
apparently

126
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,200
some agencies use them to track employee activity

127
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,266
track their activity

128
00:04:24,266 --> 00:04:25,700
was to see if they're actually working

129
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:26,066
oh wow

130
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:27,433
kind of a funny image right

131
00:04:27,433 --> 00:04:30,066
yeah but it also shows how inefficient things are

132
00:04:30,066 --> 00:04:32,766
people getting paid to do nothing basically yeah

133
00:04:32,766 --> 00:04:35,633
and that ties right back into government accountability

134
00:04:35,633 --> 00:04:37,733
and spending are we getting our money's worth

135
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,833
these speakers don't think so yeah

136
00:04:39,833 --> 00:04:42,666
it's a big concern it's like we have amazing tech

137
00:04:42,666 --> 00:04:44,900
but the government can't keep up totally

138
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:46,066
and it's not just the tech

139
00:04:46,066 --> 00:04:47,866
it's the whole mindset right

140
00:04:47,866 --> 00:04:49,633
and that brings us to American health

141
00:04:49,633 --> 00:04:53,466
oh boy these speakers did not hold back what they say

142
00:04:53,466 --> 00:04:55,800
they basically think the government is poisoning us

143
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,500
poisoning us well

144
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,133
with the food system

145
00:04:59,433 --> 00:05:02,600
they're really critical of subsidies for unhealthy food

146
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,666
yeah that's a big problem

147
00:05:03,666 --> 00:05:06,066
it's like we all know what a healthy diet is right

148
00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:08,666
common knowledge but then we're surrounded by cheap

149
00:05:08,666 --> 00:05:12,100
junk food and the government supporting it exactly

150
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:12,833
it's messed up

151
00:05:12,833 --> 00:05:15,366
makes it hard to make good choices for sure

152
00:05:15,633 --> 00:05:17,866
but there might be some hope

153
00:05:17,866 --> 00:05:20,700
oh the kind of optimistic about RFK junior

154
00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:21,833
RFK junior yeah

155
00:05:21,833 --> 00:05:23,500
he got appointed to that health position

156
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:26,000
I heard about that he wants to reform the food system

157
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,366
that's good take on those big food companies

158
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,833
we'll see what happens yeah

159
00:05:29,833 --> 00:05:31,100
it's worth watching definitely

160
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:32,300
so uh

161
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:34,833
one speaker told this crazy story

162
00:05:34,833 --> 00:05:35,600
yo yeah

163
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,566
about the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

164
00:05:37,566 --> 00:05:40,366
I remember that Mark Zuckerberg and his wife

165
00:05:40,366 --> 00:05:42,066
trying to cure all diseases

166
00:05:42,066 --> 00:05:43,466
sounds great right

167
00:05:43,466 --> 00:05:44,666
yeah who would be against that

168
00:05:44,666 --> 00:05:46,400
well there was a huge backlash

169
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,000
people are really suspicious

170
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,300
like

171
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,833
some saw it as billionaires trying to control things

172
00:05:50,833 --> 00:05:53,133
like buying influence exactly

173
00:05:53,233 --> 00:05:54,800
others thought it was amazing

174
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,566
like vital funding yeah

175
00:05:57,566 --> 00:05:59,600
that's a tough one is it good or bad

176
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,300
hard to say

177
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:02,633
it's a bigger debate about philanthropy in government

178
00:06:02,633 --> 00:06:04,366
right who should be doing what

179
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,433
but you know what I liked about these speakers

180
00:06:06,433 --> 00:06:07,200
what's that

181
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,966
they weren't afraid to criticize their own side

182
00:06:10,966 --> 00:06:11,500
oh yeah

183
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:12,466
they're on the right right

184
00:06:12,466 --> 00:06:14,966
yeah but they called out hypocrisy

185
00:06:14,966 --> 00:06:17,100
like where like with immigration

186
00:06:17,633 --> 00:06:20,566
Republicans used to be all about legal immigration

187
00:06:20,566 --> 00:06:22,366
welcoming people exactly

188
00:06:22,566 --> 00:06:24,366
but now they're much more restrictive

189
00:06:24,366 --> 00:06:25,933
as a big shift it is

190
00:06:25,966 --> 00:06:27,966
and they connected to economics

191
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,100
how so they say

192
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,600
Republicans are now the party of the working class

193
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,100
and Democrats of the elites

194
00:06:33,100 --> 00:06:34,900
yeah kind of a role reversal

195
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:37,100
interesting and it shows in their policies too

196
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,000
in what way

197
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,200
they say Democrats focus too much on identity politics

198
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,900
and not enough on working families

199
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:44,300
exactly makes sense

200
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:47,433
and then anyone who disagrees gets labeled racist

201
00:06:47,433 --> 00:06:48,066
sexist all that

202
00:06:48,066 --> 00:06:49,866
yeah you can't even have a conversation

203
00:06:49,866 --> 00:06:51,433
it's like you have to agree with everything

204
00:06:51,433 --> 00:06:53,566
or you could canceled it's a real problem

205
00:06:53,566 --> 00:06:55,800
both speakers were worried about this intolerance

206
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,666
yeah this unwillingness to debate

207
00:06:57,666 --> 00:07:00,500
we've lost the ability to have nuanced conversations

208
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:01,800
everything's black and white

209
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,966
us versus them

210
00:07:02,966 --> 00:07:05,833
one speaker even compared it to the Salem witch trials

211
00:07:05,833 --> 00:07:07,533
wow a bit extreme

212
00:07:07,866 --> 00:07:10,433
but I get the point accusations are proof now

213
00:07:10,433 --> 00:07:13,066
and questioning the narrative makes you a heretic

214
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:15,066
it's toxic totally tearing us apart

215
00:07:15,066 --> 00:07:16,766
so what's the solution yeah

216
00:07:16,766 --> 00:07:18,900
only had some ideas like what

217
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,000
personal responsibility hard work

218
00:07:21,366 --> 00:07:23,466
strong values back to basics

219
00:07:23,466 --> 00:07:26,033
yeah building strong families and communities

220
00:07:26,033 --> 00:07:27,966
sounds good but not easy

221
00:07:27,966 --> 00:07:29,633
especially now true

222
00:07:29,633 --> 00:07:31,800
they also talked about education reform

223
00:07:31,966 --> 00:07:35,366
what do they say our system focuses on indoctrination

224
00:07:35,366 --> 00:07:38,166
not critical thinking kids need to think for themselves

225
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,200
not just be told what to think right

226
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,000
one speaker even suggested teaching stoicism

227
00:07:43,033 --> 00:07:44,400
stoicism yeah

228
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,266
that ancient philosophy self control and resilience

229
00:07:47,266 --> 00:07:48,866
interesting idea it is

230
00:07:48,866 --> 00:07:52,066
it's about rediscovering timeless wisdom

231
00:07:52,066 --> 00:07:54,966
in a world that's changing so fast right

232
00:07:54,966 --> 00:07:57,966
we need that grounding maybe the past can guide us

233
00:07:58,066 --> 00:08:00,600
what do you think I think there's something to that

234
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,533
yeah me too

235
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,033
those old ideas have lasted for a reason

236
00:08:04,033 --> 00:08:06,666
exactly and you know what else surprised me

237
00:08:06,866 --> 00:08:09,900
what's that they were all about embracing change

238
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,000
we usually hear about resisting change

239
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,833
I know but they see it as inevitable

240
00:08:14,833 --> 00:08:17,266
fighting it is pointless you'll just get frustrated

241
00:08:17,266 --> 00:08:20,800
and civilizations that embrace change thrive

242
00:08:20,866 --> 00:08:23,100
the ones that cling to the past decline

243
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:25,600
it's true the US is at a pivotal moment

244
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,900
adapt or get left behind we're at a fork in the road

245
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:30,700
one path leads to progress

246
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:33,500
the other to stagnation the choice is ours

247
00:08:33,666 --> 00:08:35,433
and they see AI and blockchain

248
00:08:35,433 --> 00:08:37,366
as both a challenge and opportunity

249
00:08:37,366 --> 00:08:40,166
they could revolutionize everything for better or worse

250
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,200
depends how we use them

251
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,833
so it's about our intentions and values exactly

252
00:08:43,833 --> 00:08:47,100
one speaker even predicted AI powered governments

253
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,466
AI governments sounds crazy right

254
00:08:49,466 --> 00:08:52,533
like but they think AI could solve a lot of problems

255
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:54,433
like corruption inefficiency

256
00:08:54,433 --> 00:08:58,066
exact sightedness a government driven by data and logic

257
00:08:58,066 --> 00:08:59,900
not emotion interesting

258
00:09:00,166 --> 00:09:01,966
but scary who would control it

259
00:09:01,966 --> 00:09:03,300
how do we make sure it's ethical

260
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,133
big questions definitely

261
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,866
and they also see potential in blog chain

262
00:09:07,866 --> 00:09:09,500
for everything finance

263
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:10,833
voting supply chains

264
00:09:10,833 --> 00:09:12,433
more transparency insecurity

265
00:09:12,433 --> 00:09:15,133
empowering individuals decentralization

266
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:16,666
but of course there are challenges

267
00:09:16,766 --> 00:09:18,800
like what scalability regulations

268
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,366
bad actors always two sides right

269
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:22,966
but even with all that

270
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,066
they're optimistic about the future

271
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:28,366
American ingenuity will prevail

272
00:09:28,366 --> 00:09:30,200
we can create a better world

273
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,000
but it takes effort courage

274
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,566
challenging the status quo

275
00:09:33,566 --> 00:09:36,000
they want us to have a pioneer spirit

276
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,766
take risks explore new frontiers

277
00:09:38,766 --> 00:09:41,233
build something new it's about shaping the future

278
00:09:41,233 --> 00:09:43,933
not just waiting for it it really is like uh

279
00:09:44,366 --> 00:09:46,700
taking control you know exactly

280
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:48,733
it's about individual action

281
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,966
that's a big take away from these conversations

282
00:09:50,966 --> 00:09:53,866
yeah it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the problems

283
00:09:53,866 --> 00:09:56,100
great but these speakers remind us that we

284
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:59,566
can make a difference even small things like voting

285
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:00,300
volunteering

286
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,833
or just talking to people about these issues

287
00:10:02,833 --> 00:10:05,000
they told this great story about some young people

288
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,966
oh yeah

289
00:10:05,966 --> 00:10:07,800
promoting civic engagement

290
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,366
getting others involved yeah

291
00:10:09,366 --> 00:10:09,700
it shows

292
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,300
that change can start anywhere from the bottom up

293
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,900
grassroots movement exactly yeah

294
00:10:15,900 --> 00:10:19,433
so don't underestimate your own power

295
00:10:19,433 --> 00:10:20,800
your voice your action

296
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,000
you can be a catalyst in your community

297
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,066
but it's also about being informed

298
00:10:25,066 --> 00:10:26,600
knowing who to support right

299
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,666
look beyond those party labels

300
00:10:28,666 --> 00:10:30,866
support candidates who share your values

301
00:10:30,866 --> 00:10:34,100
we need to move past this partisan gridlock

302
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,833
find leaders who are competent

303
00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:38,466
ethical who actually want to serve the public

304
00:10:38,466 --> 00:10:41,566
not just their party it's about putting country first

305
00:10:41,566 --> 00:10:43,166
I think everyone can agree on that

306
00:10:43,166 --> 00:10:44,733
so we've covered a lot

307
00:10:44,766 --> 00:10:45,700
a ton of ground

308
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:47,366
but there are a few more things I wanna mention

309
00:10:47,366 --> 00:10:47,800
oh yeah

310
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,433
what else one speaker was worried about

311
00:10:49,433 --> 00:10:52,166
political discourse the quality of the conversation

312
00:10:52,166 --> 00:10:53,466
yeah it's gotten so bad

313
00:10:53,466 --> 00:10:57,266
they blame social media it's all outrage and division

314
00:10:57,266 --> 00:10:58,666
people just wanna score points

315
00:10:58,666 --> 00:11:00,233
not have real conversation

316
00:11:00,233 --> 00:11:01,666
we're addicted to the drama

317
00:11:01,666 --> 00:11:03,500
the conflict the negativity

318
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,266
it's hard to find thoughtful debate

319
00:11:05,266 --> 00:11:07,233
and they also criticize the mainstream media

320
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:07,800
oh yeah

321
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,233
what they say it's all about sensationalism and ratings

322
00:11:11,233 --> 00:11:13,600
not accuracy they just wanna grab your attention

323
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,666
keep you hooked even if it means twisting the truth

324
00:11:16,666 --> 00:11:18,966
it's a problem because it distorts reality

325
00:11:18,966 --> 00:11:20,600
makes it harder to understand things

326
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,400
and then there's government overreach

327
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,633
oh yeah

328
00:11:23,633 --> 00:11:24,466
that was a big one

329
00:11:24,466 --> 00:11:27,500
they think that government is too intrusive in our lies

330
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,500
regulating everything but we eat

331
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,733
what we say how we raise our kids

332
00:11:32,033 --> 00:11:34,666
it's stifling they want less government

333
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,233
more freedom the classic libertarian argument

334
00:11:38,233 --> 00:11:39,866
it might be controversial

335
00:11:39,866 --> 00:11:42,000
but it's worth considering definitely

336
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,100
and that's what these speakers did so well

337
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,766
presenting different perspective

338
00:11:45,766 --> 00:11:47,033
challenging our assumptions

339
00:11:47,033 --> 00:11:48,566
encouraging critical thinking

340
00:11:48,566 --> 00:11:50,700
it's a lesson in forming your own opinions

341
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:54,266
absolutely I've Learned a lot from these conversations

342
00:11:54,266 --> 00:11:56,900
me too and I hope you have to listener

343
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:59,300
we've covered so much technology

344
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:01,200
human nature history

345
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:03,600
but the key takeaway is that

346
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,633
we're living in a time of incredible change

347
00:12:06,633 --> 00:12:08,200
unprecedented opportunity

348
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,900
the old rules are gone the lines are blurring

349
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,100
the future is uncertain but also exciting

350
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:16,566
it's up to us to decide what happens next

351
00:12:16,566 --> 00:12:19,300
these speakers believe we're at a crossroads

352
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,400
the choices we make now will have huge consequences

353
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,600
not just for us but for future generations

354
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,866
it's a big responsibility

355
00:12:25,866 --> 00:12:27,800
but also an incredible opportunity

356
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,266
we can shape the future create a better world

357
00:12:30,266 --> 00:12:32,566
more just more prosperous

358
00:12:32,566 --> 00:12:34,700
more fulfilling but it takes work

359
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:38,366
we have to be informed engaged and courageous

360
00:12:38,366 --> 00:12:41,266
embrace change challenge the status quo

361
00:12:41,266 --> 00:12:43,200
work together build a better future

362
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,900
so go out there and make a difference

363
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:46,200
the future is waiting

364
00:12:46,366 --> 00:12:48,666
and that concludes our deep dive for today

365
00:12:48,666 --> 00:12:51,033
thanks for joining us until next time

366
00:12:51,033 --> 00:12:52,633
keep learning keep questioning

367
00:12:52,633 --> 00:12:53,800
and keep pushing the boundaries
