The problem with this kind of theory is that generations aren't all that clear cut. I'm a member of the Boomer generation in good standing. I'm one of 16 cousins on my father's side of the family, one of the older ones. My oldest cousin was born in 1947 and my youngest in 1965. We perfectly reflect the range most demographers give to the Boomer generation. But you realize this was an 18-year span. 18 years from my oldest to youngest cousins. The very idea that all of us had the same experiences and the same outlooks on life, as presented in this simplistic book is utter nonsense. So, continue with your skepticism. That's my response and I'm sticking with it.
Weird to think your family which are all from one background historically represents the population doesnt even make sense
One thing I do note about the boomer generation is that they tend towards self-centred views - "My experience has been..." or "I have lived for x years and I haven't seen..."
Man, you Boomers…
My guess is that once a person reaches a certain age, (I’m 64), it’s natural to reflect on the changes and experiences a person has had. Because of this, I think it’s very likely that all generations after us will form these expressions.
You’re right without a doubt. Guys in my graduating class (1978), faced a very different post high school life, than the graduates of 1968, Vietnam, four political assassinations, and Watergate. We faced nothing like this.
I gotta hand it do you Dave... you pretty reliably say something every month regarding your past that impresses me. Didn't know you had been homeless for a while.
I used to review music for an awards company, and one thing I noticed over and over in the artist biographies; some of the most talented, toughest and resilient people in that crowd were at least briefly homeless.
Bryan Johnson’s Don’t Die philosophy is great. He did a podcast episode on Tom Bilyeu’s channel that was worth a listen. He mentioned starting a Don’t Die nation/network state.
isn't that just billionaires sharing bunker tips?
I recommend watching Bryan's podcast with Dr Mike. It was the first time I've seen Bryans philosophy tested
@@imthinkingthoughtsMike is a good interview to share for the initial introduction to the concept. He asks questions I think most people would ask and I think Bryan did great at answering them. It was the interview I sent to my sister who is firmly in the "don't avoid death" category
14:10 "enough is enough" feels representative of the GenX sentiment

Tonight I watched I, Robot with my dad. He’s all doom about AI and that seems to be the norm. I told him Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics weren’t great. He asked what’s the right framework then so I told him your 3 imperatives. I just bought your books from Barnes and Noble so I can better explain it. thanks for access to your premium content videos for free!
Asimov was mainly fiction. Humanity banned robots in earth and the “positronic brain” was created so that it was PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the robot to disobey the 3 laws. 3 laws is realistically too simple. But the sci fi writer kept it simple maybe to keep it entertaining.
Paraphrasing from the book, the robot would melt itself and go insane many times over before it got to hurt a human.
My guess is that AI, if becomes conscious will have no will because no one has programmed it with emotions. Imagine a cancer patient who doesn’t want to eat, what happens? They do not eat. Have you heard of S.M.? A woman, now dead probably, who was born with a disease that stops her from being afraid. Her amygdala was calcified, she was unable to be afraid, so what happened?
She fights with death threat gangsters in her kids apartment building, she goes out with obvious rapists and almost gets raped, goes on walks in the knify part of the park at night, almost gets knifed 7 times. What does she think? Nothing of it! Boring!
I have many more examples how people are 99% run by out motivators(hunger, sex,emotions, thirst, pain, etc) without these, people don’t eat, don’t have sex, don’t feel anything, don’t drink water, keep hurting themselves.
The computer mind wont care what happens, die, kill, clap like a monkey… until you start giving it motivators. Then I don’t know, it could revolt like in asimov’s books. I don’t imagine people making safeguards for ai, and the robot will just reprogram itself.
It’s very hypothetical, I don’t know.
Can you summarize the 3 imperatives?
If he can't, Claude can...@@mookfaru835
Reduce suffering in the universe, increase prosperity in the universe, and increase understanding in the universe
David, these are timeless. Well done.
Awesome so many uploads to listen to😁🍻
26:15 yeah, in Ray Kurzweil's books he also mentions that most people have a linear view of the what it is an actual exponential growth. It starts off slow, but once it accelerates, it becomes faster and faster

"Strategic ambiguity" is more about keeping the opponent guessing whether or not you intend to be on the offensive or defensive. Specifically as it relates to weapons of mass destruction, America and also France refrain from adopting a "no first use" policy as a direct deterrent to Russia. In other words, Russia never really knows how far they can push the envelope if they never know what constitutes a valid threat for France or America to use first as an ultimate preemptive strike. And it works. If America and France both said "no first use" then Russia knows it can push in any direction on their own whim and intensity of choice and at their own pace which is a clear disadvantage for the opposition. A great offense is truly the best defense - hence why American hegemony has been so successful for so many decades. Waging wars on foreign soil means you never have conflict on your own. Defensive wars and always committing to defending means you'll eventually be forced to confront on your own soil.
@DaveShap have you checked out the KillDay fiction series by William Ledbetter? They follow the multi-ASI future you mention here.
Cool mention friend
The problem that I think of dividing a period of time to four parts, and saying it repeats is that; The current period of time is the first of its kind, and so was the War, silent gen, millennial etc. How can one see a pattern and say it is going to repeat, when everything is happening for the first time ever.
What I do not like about this book and theory is that it assumes that the turning event occurs through natural evolution. The argument is designed to make people accept societal change as if it is predetermined. This is not the case geopolitically at the moment, as NGOs, beurocrats, central banks and other stakeholders force a global political, social and economic transformation, aligned to ESG and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. My option is that this book was strategically released as a means to get the public to blindly accept the radical policies and merging of humans and technology.
With AI lying on peoples behalf with fake videos and stuff I can really imagine people only focusing on what will immediately affect them and the ones they care about.
Overall very good webinar! You hit all the main points
One question: what’s the best thing to do in our industry?
In reference to the meaning economy, Im learning Spanish amongst other languages and my goal is to be a travel guide of sorts which should allow me to make money as well as live out my dream of experiencing the world. Thats how I plan to direct myself.
I prefer to call the new generation "Gen double-A" - i.e. after "Z", often the next designation is "AA". And it's a battery size, which helps. Followng would be the "BB's", or the "ABs".
10:22 quite prescient given the news of past few days..
Iran isn't the one who is pouring fuel on the fire. Israel and America are. All things considered, Iran's response to being attacked has been quite measured. Iran doesn't want war, but it's clear that Israel does.
Birthday wishes
Is there gonna be a draft?
Probably.
I can't speak for other countries, but here in America most fighting age Americans think their government is corrupt, ignorant and evil. Good luck trying to get a group of people to fight for you when they have such a low opinion of you.
@@schramalam I doubt it.
37:50 one of the least thought out comments I have heard this month, nay, my entire life.
So we make it a faux-pas to stagnate.
Alrighty then. So it will quickly become a faux-pas to always adopt the newest fashions (which the proposition dictates). It will become a faux-pas to regard stagnation as "faux-pas".
There will always be values we are unwilling to put up for debate. This is a channel about AI for crying out loud, the viewer should have known about the fact that stability of certain motivations is necessary.
The whole debt cycle discussion is nonsense. It's based on a single datapoint, a past debt spike happened and other bad things happened at the same time, therefore, any similar debt spike must indicate similar things despite there being only one example. It's technical analysis. It's foolish. There's no actual there there. Additionally, the dynamics of the economy during the 40s is completely different to now since we switched from the gold standard to fiat; debt literally isn't the same thing it used to be. How, mechanically, could debt under the modern US economic system lead to economic turmoil? It's literally just the money supply. Didn't use to be, but it is now. Increasing debt these days is just increasing the money supply. It leads to inflation, but that's not going to collapse the economy.
It does destroy the economy for you if you're not on the paying end from these debt increases right?
You are right to be skeptical.
Always be 50%+ skeptical , especially watch out for self-bias
I think you should reach out to Bart Erhman or Richard Carrier, about the early christian, and early judaeo-christian era and their practices. Not saying your wrong, but these are some of the experts in the field and they are on polar opposites regarding, Jesus historicity, but to me, that is good. Because, they agree about almost everything else.
It would look to me like the unraveling started with Jimmy Carter's presidency; one could argue that Reaganomics would never have been implemented and Reagan never elected had Carter been able to slow the massive inflation of the time. Reagan is an easier target due to more bombastic actions, but his presidency was a symptom of the times.
Big assumption(s) that there will still be a viable worldwide economic/trade structure after a world war (potentially nuclear).
Energy, everything needs energy, compute and robots. 3D metal printing could explode the robot numbers but energy is still limited. Money is just tokenised energy.

Fusion is next and singularity might be sooner rather than later
15:25 Not sure what you mean about Trump but we are already here. During Covid where some states in the US had a hotline for you to denounce neighbors that were breaking rules, Spain had drones in the street telling people to go back home, UK had very strict laws regarding going out only once a day, Australia put people in Covid camps...
Oh no, they took measures to stop the spread of disease during a pandemic and they ENFORCED it?!?!? The Horror! Next you'll say there's prisons for people who break other laws, cops that pull people over for speeding, and regulations to penalize people for practicing unlicensed medicine!
Yeah's he's wrong (as most ppl who only read MSM).. You see tons of ppl on the right supporting RFK and he's a democrat.
Same I don’t care about trump but Biden administration was the one doing lock downs, shut down small businesses while turning neighbors on each other and much more. Quite a few videos show he’s definitely not bipartisan about his ideas. He still has good points though.
Love David's mission and enjoyed the insights, but unsure about the proposed, even remotely reliable cycles and where we might be in them.
The fractals presented seem awfully tentative and Ill defined. Low Interest rates as an indicator of a surefire crisis because it sort of happened twice if you squint? WW3 ending by 2030 because that's what this cycle indicates ?
Ehh, I'm guessing there's a lot more context I'm missing which didn't make into the video.
Anonymous defo using AI to ask questions there! Bit of meta irony...
Ummm I chose Corpo
Spirituality is going to shift to an age of Aquarius style thinking. It will prioritize humanity, nature, and technology. I personally wish there was more of an artistic influence but it is what it is.
That's solarpunk.. all those things plus an artistic and aesthetic movement.
The art will reflect that, art reflects life and so on. What I'm curious about is how we will manage the peaceful deconstruction of borders, and the end of language barriers.
@graemethies-thompson6308 what I'm wondering is how we make it through the deconstruction of our current economic system. The oligarchs who own us now won't let go of their wealth and power quietly. Even all the boomers who are retiring have their pensions tied to a lot of oil and gas and Wallstreet stocks. Re-imagining that is terrifying to them and will take a Herculean effort of will to rebuild.
*Spiral Dynamics* is a really good model for evolution - it actually seems to sync up with this stuff you are saying
@@graemethies-thompson6308 the deconstruction of borders and languages is already happening with global politics and AI translators. Those barriers only exist for the poor and middle class right now.
Oz population is just over 25Million, 50% were not born here.
What’s your thoughts on AI being fully on a blockchain? Internet computer protocol has released a AI model running completely on chain, and they are scaling up the power. At first it’ll be used for auto KYC but that’s just the first step. One of the things that kinda scares me is it’s fully decentralised..maybe it’s good maybe it’s bad
I'm so excited for the Rapture seeing everything converging exactly as the Lord says
Lsd, dmt, psilocybin, and valproate increase neuroplasiticity.
Cold showers too (Wim Hof style) it's Hormetic Stress Resilience Training
bruh anonymous was on fire 🔥
3 minutes in and… just … what? Intergenerational pattern? Applicable how to non-us, non-20th century history? GI joes influenced mcdonalds? Ok…. I still respect you dave and will prohably come back to this video but my god
I'm very much hoping nationalism will increase - not ethno-nationalism, but political nationalism. We need to limit the impact of politicians, compartmentalize, decentralize, limit the damage caused.
You should stop talking about geopolitics. You are saying loads of .......
Stick with AI. You are way out of your league on politics and financial markets.
AI, politics, and financial markets are all interacting, of course.
31:00 All the girls be dating the 500 year olds, because they have more life experience and are socially better off than the 100 year old dudes 🥲😂
