Jonathan Taplin with Tom Friedman: The End of Reality and the War in Gaza
Вставка

- At a time when the world is in crisis, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. The metaverse, generative AI, cryptocurrency, space travel, and transhumanism are existential threats in moral, political, and economic terms, argues Jonathan Taplin’s new book 'The End of Reality: How Four Billionaires are Selling a Fantasy Future of the Metaverse, Mars, and Crypto'. Taplin is joined by Tom Friedman to discuss Taplin’s insight into the power of these billionaires leading to what he believes is the bankruptcy of our society by mass disinformation. They also discuss the Israel/Hamas war and the crisis in the Middle East, and how the current crisis has been impacted by these issues. Recorded January 29, 2024, at The 92nd Street Y, New York.

What’s real today: people talking face to face, hugging, exchanging ideas, sharing a meal, laughing, crying.
Playing with children and teaching them, while learning from our interactions with them.
Children? They're just going to grow up into giant two-legged hamsters. At the rate things are going, lots of babies born this year won't survive to your respectable old age, because almost every ground ape wants to have more bananas than the neighbors.
Perhaps Jonathan Taplin had a reason for only “showcasing” four billionaires (Andreesen, Musk, Thiel and Zuckerberg). I would suggest that Jeff Bezos’ control of the consumer market, not to mention the way you get there, AWS, should be included in this primordial mix.
Good, moral, decent man. Brilliant man. Clearly lives talking mainly to himself. The fascists and greedmongers count on this. For all our sakes, he desperately needs an "anger translator"
It took 25 years these two guys realize Peter Teal was an ass 😂
There is O visibility because of Netanyahu!
UBI would be a pay off to take over white collar jobs and make a small group of men very rich in the end.

( By the fact that I have responded to you, you are now on social media. If you respond, you will confirm it. 😈)
The Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel and the Palestinians is a 1983 book by Noam Chomsky
about the relationship between the US, Israel and Palestine. Chomsky examines the origins of this relationship and its meaningful consequences for the Palestinians and other Arabs. The book mainly concentrates on the 1982 Lebanon War and the pro-Zionist bias of most US media and intellectuals
There's an upside to "the end of reality" and that's the end of Reality TV.
But the end of reality began with reality TV. 😵💫
@@joejohnson6327 Well, you know how the saying goes, "the end justifies the means".
A couple of nostalgic old guys.
Thomas Freeman is the greatest of boomer philosophers
Amazing interview.❤
If I was a cartoonist , I would draw a map of the US with the caption, America in the Age of STUPID.
Pal's won't take that initiative because a two state agreement would automatically recognize Israel's Right to exist. Hamas won't do that so there can be no solution involving hamas or their sister, hezbollah.
Section 230 of the Descency Act needs to be used to bring these guys to the table and put them on notice . Bill Clinton and Al Gore it appears helped to further erode our Democracy.
❤ to read John’s book (End of Reality) but it’s selling @ 18.99 on Amazon,that’s a lot of money that I can’t spare. Tom I got yer book on Amazon for Beirut to Jerusalem ❤Great ❤ read. Appreciate John sending an autographed on for free .. thx 😊..
Rivetting and thought provoking conversation. Thank you Tom for bringing these voices to the fore
UBI is an inevitability - automation will replace most work.
If people have a lot of time on their hands, that's a good thing to have the time and resources to do your own thing.
If your own thing is nothing and the only use you have is work, what actually is the point of your life at that point? i.e. If you have nothing to live for but work, then you have nothing to live for - especially when your work is no longer needed.
Um, ah, um ah, um, ah to distraction.
No kidding
Such great, informative guys! Thank you both for this get together.
Im glad that i have been right about Tom Friedman.... he's stopped making sense to me..
Don't get ol.
Love this❤ Thank you.
Here is my like button.😂
I will use the anolog button too!😂😂
The government would not pay people to stay home in their pajamas!!!! The idea would be they could find ways to still be useful to society, but they wouldn't need to worry as much about making ends meet!!!! I love the interview, but I take serious issue with this idea that invokes Reagan's mythical welfare queen.
This guy sounds like a crank to me. Not buying it.
Um um um um Jesus Christ dude.
UM UM UM UM UM UM UM
Deep fakes are not a bad thing if used judiciously.
I would love to see a movie with, say, Bogart, DeNiro and DiCaprio all in their twenties doing their thing.
Palestinian partner??? 2 state solution? What are you talking about? please name a plausible Palestinian for that partnership. You've lost me. Now you're just talking about something ridiculous
