WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 This one I think goes nicely with, it'll probably 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.120 be a couple of weeks ago that this came out now, 00:00:06.139 --> 00:00:08.859 but I'm still feeling inspired by it a little 00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:10.859 bit. I don't know. We'll have to read the article 00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:13.080 and see if there's any overlap. This is from 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.480 Newsweek .com. I don't know anything about Newsweek. 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.339 It's not the Epoch Times. Yeah, that's all we 00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:21.620 know at this point. We don't know which cult 00:00:21.620 --> 00:00:25.160 owns this one. This one is at least from 2025, 00:00:25.579 --> 00:00:28.539 April 17th. The title of this article is, oh, 00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:31.980 it was updated. April 18th. Published April 17th. 00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:35.179 White House says it has tech that can manipulate 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:38.560 time and space. Hmm. This is by Joe Edwards. 00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:42.200 A comment by White House science advisor Michael 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:45.759 Kratzios has gone viral after a speech in which 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.700 he claimed U .S. technology can quote manipulate 00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:52.420 time and space and quote prompting online speculation. 00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:56.899 Why it matters. The viral interpretation of Kratzios 00:00:56.899 --> 00:00:59.780 comment reflects the growing impact of social 00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:02.880 media and framing public understanding of government 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.400 messaging. Wouldn't the ability to manipulate 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.420 time and space be why it's mattering? Not just 00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:11.219 the social media aspect of it. To be fair, it 00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:14.180 doesn't take much to manipulate time and space 00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:16.859 other than go really fast. Oh, I was thinking 00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:19.519 project looking glass. Okay, technically like 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.980 just moving at a different speed or elevation 00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:24.599 manipulates time and space. That's true. And 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.920 technically like us just existing through time 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.200 is manipulating time and space. space, depending 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.000 on your thoughts of free will versus, like, everything 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.620 happens with cause. That's deep. That's more 00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:36.599 than I was ready for on this little minute. You 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.480 think they just cut a philosopher in the army 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.480 who's saying, like, doing nothing is the best 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.819 approach? Because we are manipulating time and 00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:46.819 space at all times anyways. While the White House 00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:50.140 has not issued a formal clarification, I wonder 00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:52.299 if they have by this point. Maybe we're still 00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:55.140 waiting. I don't know. No, we're not, because 00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.359 at this point... this is a different um white 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.239 house at this point because this is from april 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.340 2025 so this is the yeah this is the biden no 00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:05.239 wait sorry you're right no it's been a year jesus 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.099 already what a year hold on no kidding it feels 00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:13.620 like it's been 11 years yeah The speech's wording 00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:17.639 suggests the phrase was metaphorical, intended 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:28.300 to refer to the transformative nature of modern 00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:31.699 innovation, not literal manipulation of space 00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:34.500 -time or the invention of time travel. What to 00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.520 know? Kratzios, director of the White House Office 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.090 of Science, made the remark during a policy address 00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:45.349 at the Endless Frontiers retreat in Austin, Texas 00:02:45.349 --> 00:02:48.250 on April 14th. Quote, our technologies permit 00:02:48.250 --> 00:02:51.250 us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance 00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:54.229 annihilated, cause things to grow and improve 00:02:54.229 --> 00:02:57.629 productivity. End quote. Kratzio said. That just 00:02:57.629 --> 00:03:00.289 sounds like a really stupid jargon statement. 00:03:00.669 --> 00:03:02.490 Yeah, it does. That doesn't even sound that weird. 00:03:02.870 --> 00:03:05.330 Who even knows what he's trying to say? You have 00:03:05.330 --> 00:03:09.189 to preface this with like RFK juniors in this 00:03:09.189 --> 00:03:13.629 presidential cabinet. Just compare that to anything 00:03:13.629 --> 00:03:16.389 that guy says. He can look at a kid and tell 00:03:16.389 --> 00:03:19.030 that his pores are congested with, like, oil 00:03:19.030 --> 00:03:21.150 genitals or something like that. I don't fully 00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:23.550 understand the words he uses. They're so raspy. 00:03:23.830 --> 00:03:26.990 Yeah, I mean, but look at everything else they 00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:29.810 got going for them right now. It's not just our 00:03:29.810 --> 00:03:32.289 future. To be fair, the guy could not get through 00:03:32.289 --> 00:03:35.289 school without heroin, keeping him not distracted. 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.340 I didn't know that. He used heroin to focus in 00:03:39.340 --> 00:03:41.860 law school. Super weird guy. Wow, no kidding. 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.060 Kratzios said during prepared remarks published 00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:48.560 on the official White House website. While the 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.180 statement was likely intended as aspirational 00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:54.340 language about technological progress, it has 00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:57.340 since circulated wildly online with some interpreting 00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:00.240 the comment literally. In the speech, Kratzios 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.919 emphasized the importance of American leadership 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.139 in emerging technologies and criticized regulatory 00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:09.099 burdens that, in his view, had slowed progress. 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.439 Quote, we have weighed down our builders and 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.060 innovators, And quote, he said, re -quote again, 00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:17.480 but how do you read this like a nice sentence? 00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:20.120 You don't. But we are capable of so much more. 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.800 End quote. I'll just go with how I feel like 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.120 it. Yeah, I'll read this next one. That's always 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.300 how they want you to interpret everything they 00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:29.959 do is how it makes you best feel. I like that. 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.879 I don't mind that. Crazio's remarks were made 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.360 just weeks after his confirmation as the administration's 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.199 chief science official. Speaking in Texas, he 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.939 described the Trump administration's tech technology 00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:45.160 agenda as one focused on reducing bureaucratic 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:50.019 constraints constraints constraints Boosting 00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:53.160 research and development and enabling American 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.959 companies to lead Globally the quote about manipulating 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.980 is gonna be China now soon the quote about manipulating 00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:02.439 time and space appeared alongside references 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.920 to artificial intelligence aerospace and productivity 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.939 tools in context Kratzios evoked quote the choice 00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:12.639 of individuals to craft new technologies and 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.160 give themselves to scientific discoveries that 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.839 will bend time and space and quote and quote 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.600 again make more with less end of quotes what 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.560 people are saying what happens next i'm just 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.540 make more with less yes i'm just gonna end the 00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:30.889 article there okay And that's good. That just 00:05:30.889 --> 00:05:33.470 sounds like I mean, Elon Musk has probably said 00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:35.870 that they have that technology in the next two 00:05:35.870 --> 00:05:38.750 years, five years ago. So what was just kind 00:05:38.750 --> 00:05:41.829 of what any of it? It sounds like CEO speak for 00:05:41.829 --> 00:05:43.930 things that you want to accomplish. Like, yeah, 00:05:44.269 --> 00:05:46.509 words. Yeah, I don't even know what they're trying 00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:50.430 to say. It does sound like word salad. And on 00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:54.769 that note, he said AI and I can't wait to start 00:05:54.769 --> 00:05:58.050 kicking robots. because it sounds like they're 00:05:58.050 --> 00:06:00.410 gonna remember they're training the robots to 00:06:00.410 --> 00:06:02.990 kick us back. Yeah, which I really wish they 00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:05.250 wouldn't teach them that unless it's just strictly 00:06:05.250 --> 00:06:08.709 to CEOs. Yeah, it can stop their talk like this. 00:06:08.970 --> 00:06:12.689 If they program them like the orcas. Yeah, they'd 00:06:12.689 --> 00:06:15.990 never do that. But the lesson is that's why you 00:06:15.990 --> 00:06:18.350 have to kick the robots because they're gonna 00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:21.069 kick you anyway. So yeah, you might as well get 00:06:21.069 --> 00:06:23.509 it in while you can say that you got to put in 00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.750 on the oppressor. at some point early on. Anyhow, 00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:29.089 you guys got 48 hours. Find your nearest robot 00:06:29.089 --> 00:06:31.069 place and kick him. Okay, bye.
