GHOST: I hope someone finds this.
No one said or did anything to stop them.
It’s too late for me. (melancholic music)
I was alone.
It may not be too late for you.

MAN: America's changed, you understand that?
I think to create the perfect union of democracy
has been a struggle...

RECORDED VOICE: Dear passengers,
people who behave disorderly in public areas
will be punished according to regulations,
and their behaviour will be recorded.
To avoid any negative record of personal credit,
please follow the relevant regulations.
(uplifting music)

So, whatever else happens now, it’s all in a day’s work.

GHOST: I can still remember my grandma.
(sighs)
I used to help her out.
My grandma used to say her memories
were slipping through her fingers like sand.
She said, we didn’t know it,
but that was happening to all of us too.
She said soon, there’d be no past, no history.
She said it was the truth, and she didn’t care who heard.
Then one day, they came for her,
and she was gone. (winding)
That stabbed to the heart of me,
it silenced me.
I never spoke again.
I ran.
I’m still running.
(explosions)
My life’s turned into one of those sci-fi comics
I used to read.
I live off-grid.
My place is in Shoes, on the lower ground.
(rumbling, banging)
There are others here.
Survivors.
Renegades.
(men chatting)
MAN: Know what I'm saying? Anyone know why I’m saying this?
GHOST: There’s a tunnel up to Fragrances,
where the old entrance was.
(muffled shouting)
It’s one of the six ways up to the surface.

(dramatic music)
(men chattering)
Hey, Ghost.
Going up?
Stay safe.
I met this guy, Jack,
dumpster-diving one night.
It was me who got him in here.
Hey, I’ve found an old picture you might like.
GHOST: He’s got these goofy, p uppy dog eyes.
I’ll show it to you later.
GHOST: He’s an AI.
Stay safe.
GHOST: He listens and watches everything.
(ominous music)
You can’t trust anyone anymore.
When you glean up on the surface, after curfew,
you have to be quick.
You avoid the dogs,
you dodge the street militia. (bullet clinks)
(ominous music intensifies)
(gunfire)
ANNOUNCEMENT: Move north, destruction area north.
This is now a civil disturbance.
Failure to do so could result in arrest and the use of force,
including riot patrol agents and...
GHOST: People thought the world would end.
(shouting)
But the world goes on.
(sirens blaring)
(Taser zapping)
It's us who will end.
(police sirens)
ANNOUNCEMENT: ...must leave the area immediately.
Failure to comply with this order may subject you to arrest
and may subject you to the use of riot patrol agents
or impact weapons.
This is the police department.
You are violating state imposed curfew.
Go home or you will be arrested.
(sirens blaring)
(loud clanking)
GHOST: Gleaning is how we get by.
We pick over the leftovers, the broken, the rejected...
anything we can use.
Thanks, Ghost. I love it!
GHOST: Those puppy dog eyes.
I love this hat.
(men shouting)
(eerie music)
I have no mercy or compassion in me
for a society that will crush people,
and then penalise them for not being able to stand up
under the weight.
(rewind whirring)
How did we get here?
How did we let this happen?
(rioting)
In the late 1980s, early 1990s,
you were in a moment of democratic triumph.
We’re now in a democratic recession,
and it’s endemic in Eastern Europe,
in Western Europe,
in the United States, India,
the Philippines.
This is a new age of impunity.
Some countries are actually just going back to the age
of elite power.
The financial system is rocked to its foundation,
as top Wall Street institutions...
If you have an economic crisis,
and/or a refugee crisis,
these demagogues rise.
They’re promising to protect you from a threat
that doesn’t exist.
You have an incredibly dishonest right-wing media,
who pushes disinformation.
(high tempo music)
Hate and fear are being sown
online across the world,
spreading lies paid for with illegal cash. It’s subversion.
(protestors shouting)
What Putin saw, is, he's like,
“Holy shit, I can hack this system,
and then control global capitalism, and politics.”
There are transnational oligarchs
funding dark money think-tanks
and fake institutions.
Americans for prosperity.
Renowned Washington think-tank, the Cato Institute.
The Institute of Economic Affairs.
They’re lobby shops, set up to influence politics
on behalf of ideological billionaires and big business.
BP is a corporate donor to the lEA.
They come to tons of our events.
BP might say, you know,
"We at BP are really struggling with these regulations.
Can you tell me why you're not going to change this, Minister?"
It’s disrupting democracy.
Social media has enabled the rise of these populist
authoritarian-style leaders.
We will root out the communists, Marxists,
fascists and the radical left thugs
that live like vermin within the confines of our country.
We will make America great again.
Jews will not replace us!
So, you would say that white supremacist tied publications
meet a rigorous standard for fact-checking?
REPORTER: Facebook’s site has been used to incite violence
against Rohingya refugees in Myanmar.
Mr Modi has driven Muslims of this country to the wall.
I have a particular responsibility,
it is to end the free movement of people once and for all.
(applause)
REPORTER: Europe is in the heat of a battle
about the future of democracy,
and Hungary is now the front line.
It’s not just Putin and Orbán,
there’s an alliance of dictatorships.
(explosion) There’s no subtlety
in Netanyahu’s ambition to claim all of the Palestinian state.
There’s a global effort by people in power
to stay in power.
They care more about maintaining power for their clique,
than a broader sense of common good.
(ominous music)
(gunshot)
Hitler massacred three million Jews.
There's three million drug addicts,
I'd be happy to slaughter them.
REPORTER: The volume of killing here is quite extraordinary.
In the 80 or so days that Duterte has been in power,
there’s now been an average of somewhere between 35 and 40
police killings of drug-pushers and drug users every day.
So no qualms about killing killers?
Yes, of course. I must admit, I have killed.
I’m a journalist. This is my 37th year as a journalist.
What’s the role of journalism? Journalism, the mission:
holding power to account, public and private.
As President, you now also defend the constitution.
- Yes. - You break the law,
you threaten to break the law.
You said you had killed a year ago, right?
You told me that,
and yet you now have the task of
keeping the rule of law
and you said you would do that also. How do you...?
Because the rule of law
there must be fear.
When Duterte took office, our institutions crumbled.
He became the most powerful person within six months.
Just because you're a journalist you think you are except from assassination.
It's all wrong.
We continue doing our reporting.
(high tempo music)
(rioters shouting)
Journalist: How do you feel killing Muslims?
I enjoy it.
We killed them, came home and slept.
On the worst day of the violence,
when murder and looting were taking place
all across the city, we saw policemen just standing by,
watching what was happening
but doing nothing to try to stop it.
When you look back over the last months,
you’ve been the leader of this state
through a very difficult period,
do you think there’s anything that
you should have done differently?
Yes, one area where I was very, very weak,
and that was how to handle the media.
RANA AYYUB: He doesn’t like criticism,
he’s self-obsessed,
he’s a megalomaniac,
and I say that all the time.
My name is Rana Ayyub.
I’m a global opinions writer with the Washington Post,
I’m an investigative journalist.
I write stuff which the government does not like.
Mr Modi is going from strength to strength.
He’s become a leader of anti-Muslim
bigots across the country.
I spoke about the fact that
here is a man who’s an authoritarian,
whose only politics is his prejudice of Muslims,
whose only politics is persecution of Muslims,
and if this man comes to power,
he is going to repeat that,
and that’s exactly what has transpired
since Modi came to power in 2014.
(screaming) (glass smashing)
I believe that I’m standing up for just bearing witness.
I don’t even want to do anything.
I don’t want to be anybody’s hero.
I don’t want to be put on a pedestal.
I just wanted to speak my truth.
(high tempo music)
(police sirens blaring)
Nigel, Nigel, this way!
Nigel!
They know this referendum
is too close to call,
and are stepping up the intensity
with just a week to go till polling day.
When ISIS say they will use the migrant crisis
to flood the continent with their Jihadi terrorists,
they probably mean it.
It's no good fighting an election campaign on the facts
Now, this is a once-in- a-lifetime chance
for us to take back control of our immigration system.
because actually it's all about emotion.
The majority of people in this country
are suffering as a result of
our membership of the European Union.
These are things that don't necessarily need to be true.
As long as they're believed.
If people feel that voting doesn’t change anything,
then violence is the next step.
(shouting) (siren wailing)
What I and other journalists have uncovered
is that multiple crimes took place during the referendum.
It was the biggest electoral fraud
in Britain for 100 years.
I’m a journalist.
I kind of came into investigative journalism
accidentally, when I was a feature writer.
This is what they were posting on Facebook,
paid for with illegal cash.
How do you hold power to account?
That’s all I’m trying to figure out is like
what are the different mechanisms for holding
power to account?
Because the old ways don’t work any more.
We have no idea who saw what ads,
or even who placed the ads,
or how much money was spent,
or even what nationality they were.
When I stumbled into this story,
it was really like the scales falling away from my eyes,
and when I understood so much is actually
controlled beyond the naked eye.
If you’re interested, what I’d like to do
is set up something, and I’ll fund it somehow,
that I think... and I think you’re the perfect guy,
we help knit together
this populist nationalist movement
throughout the world,
'cause guys in Egypt are coming to me,
the Modi's guys in India,
Duterte, you know, and we get Orbán, and we are somehow,
some sort of convening authority.
It’s a global revolt.
(high intensity music)
The game-changer was the weaponisation
of social media.
I got 90 hate messages per hour.
That’s when I began to realise, this is really different.
These tech companies enabled a real shift,
because exponential lies literally came at us so fast
that our human capacity to absorb
and fight back was gone.
(messages pinging)
8.5 million tweets were directed against me,
in which the language is so similar, Jihadi, burqa-clad,
ISIS sex slave, you know, terrorist sympathiser.
CAROLE CADWALLADR: I personally got really targeted.
There was this systemic harassment going on online.
It became overwhelming.
The weaponisation of social media
was quickly followed by the weaponisation of the law.
You reporters, you will be allowed to criticise us
but you will go to jail for your crime.
REPORTER: A prominent critic of Philippine President,
Rodrigo Duterte, has been arrested.
Maria Ressa is CEO and Executive Editor
for the online news site, Rappler.
REPORTER: Journalist Rana Ayyub, who’s been a fierce critic
of the government led by Prime Minister Modi,
has been named in a charge sheet filed
by the Enforcement Directorate over alleged money-laundering.
REPORTER: Carol Cadwalladr, as a result
of your reporting on Brexit,
you have been sued by a British businessman.
RANA AYYUB: This boys’ club reads each other's manuals,
okay, what have we done?
Minorities silenced, media silenced,
dissenters arrested, killed.
Social media, we have co-opted them.
Information technology, we have used them.
They all follow the same play book.
Now it fits, now it fits how you make journalists and critics
and activists enemies of the state.
If you don’t have facts, you can’t have truth.
Without truth, you can’t have trust.
If you don’t have any of these three,
you don’t have a shared reality.
You can't solve any...
like let alone existential problems
like climate change, you can’t solve any problem.
You cannot have democracy.

Isn’t this a science fiction movie? (laughs)

(ominous music)
(winding/whirring) GHOST: Grandma read newspapers,
watched TV news non-stop.
She recorded everything,
said she was keeping the receipts.
I didn’t understand, I was too young.
News disappeared, just like Grandma.
(clanging)
Nobody noticed or cared.
(water drips)
AUTOMATED VOICE: Name?
Where were you born?
(eerie music)
Where in New San Francisco have you visited?
(rumbling)
(women chatting)
(whirring/winding)
GHOST: Every day I pass the same people on my way up.
The girl who used to sing is gone.
It’s like one by one they’re turning into ghosts,
or grains of sand.
(rustling)
(unclear voices, shouting)
(rustling)
(water splashing)
GHOST: There was one place...
a secret place my grandma used to take me to.
When I was small,
I thought this was where people came to pray.
(melancholic violin music)
It was a place where you could read books.
There was special writing too,
about things you couldn’t see,
where you could meet people
and not be afraid they’d rat you out
to the authorities.
It’s where my grandma left me everything she’d saved.
All the memories...
and all the recordings she’d made.
Her receipts from her life,
and from a long time before, too.
I can feel people all around me.
My parents are here...
and my grandma too.
It’s our memory they want to wipe out,
language, culture,
and history.
And people connecting,
people protesting.
This is why they came for Grandma.
They said it’s wrong.
They said it’s a crime.
and I know one day they’ll come for me, too.
(treacherous music)
(drone buzzing)
The event wasn’t just one thing.
It was a slow creep.
Places we used to visit got taken over,
walls got built,
access was denied.
When you’re desperate,
just surviving,
you can’t see what’s been taken away.
(wind blowing)
You can’t fight back.
(engines rumbling)
(rocks crashing)

You will face criminal charges.
(static electricity)
(digital beeping)
GHOST: My grandma used to tell me how when she was a girl,
she played with other kids in the park.
(motor whirring)
And one by one, they stopped showing up.
Some of them got sucked into screen images.
Some of them got suicidal.
(tense music)
Others vanished.

(suspenseful music)
We are Uyghur people,
historically from Central Asia.
A Turkik Muslim group like Khazaks,
and Uzbeks and Tatars.
We are Sunni Muslim.
The Chinese government always had this paranoia
that the region is not safe.
That Uyghurs always have the desire to seek independence
and therefore it must use every power
to make sure it is completely controlled.
REPORTER: You're looking at the World Trade Centre,
we understand that a plane has crashed
into the World Trade Centre.
We don’t know anything more than that.
9/11, when Bush declared war against terror.
The Chinese government conveniently said:
"We also face the Muslim terrorists."
Branding Uyghurs as terrorists.
This was the escalation to impose strict policies
to make it legal to arbitrarily detain and kill Uyghur people.
(threatening music)
Then this kind of high tech surveillance started.
Using cameras.
Facial recognition.
They set up a working group to examine every person
every family.
To check who has travelled abroad,
who ever signed a petition,
ever protested for anything.
They categorised the entire population
as normal,
suspicious,
and untrustworthy.
They built the biggest reservoir of data ever collected.
(dramatic music)
Every Uyghur aged over 12
must go to the hospital to provide a "health profile"
DNA,
fingerprints,
iris scan,
facial recognition from various different sides of their face
and also voice recognition.
They had to read 20 times one paragraph of a newspaper
establishing bio data,
and then the computer can automatically give a result
whether you are normal,
you are suspicious
or untrustworthy.
(ominous music)
REPORTER: The Uyghurs have many of the same complaints
as the Tibetans.
They say they’re discriminated against,
that they’re not allowed to practise their religion
and culture freely.
And they’re afraid to speak in public, especially now.
One man said to me,
“You talk today,
and tomorrow your whole family disappears.”
(suspenseful music)
REPORTER: Human rights campaigners say
that over a million people
have been interned in concentration camps
in the far west province of Xinjiang.
It’s probably the largest internment
of an ethnic or religious minority
since the Holocaust.
Those who they believe, potentially are untrustworthy.
Not even dangerous,
potentially
have to go to these so-called "re-education camps".
they completely re-engineer them.
So the Uyghur people were given two choices:
You either become a Han Chinese person
or
you die.
(loud street chatter)
(scooter buzzing)
We’re on the precipice
of probably the biggest revolution
that the world has gone through in modern times.
China is the blueprint,
because this technology is for sale.
(treacherous music)
Israeli soldiers use facial recognition software
to take photos of Palestinians,
in order to scan their faces into this Wolf Pack database.
It’s the latest component, really, of a system of total
surveillance of the Palestinian population.
(ominous music) (drone buzzing)
Israel have found a way to control
millions and millions of Palestinians
through surveillance technology,
through weapons, through drones.
(explosion)
A myriad of surveillance and repression,
and Israel says, if you want to have good relations with us,
we’ll sell you this amazing technology,
so you can also surveil your dissidents and critics.
(sirens blaring) (woman screams)
(explosion)
Technology's integrated into warfare,
and there are algorithms that help guide military strategy
that offer death and destruction among civilians.
You’re removing people from the decision-making,
so you don’t even have any capacity
to bring a perspective on whether or not
we should drop a 2000-pound bomb on a refugee camp.
(ominous music) (cameras whirring)
(robot whirring)
The way in which we communicate and live is changing.
The possibilities for what people in positions
of power can do,
and the way that they can intrude into our lives,
into our relationships, has all changed.
Because we have this totalitarian architecture
around us, you only need a change of government,
or change of circumstances,
before it’s used in a totalitarian way,
when it’s too late.
(gunshot)
(muffled loudspeaker)
AUTOMATED VOICE: Names of relatives and associates?
What groups or organisations do you connect with?
Do you have contact with any illegals in America?

between those who want freedom,
justice and equality,
and those who want systems of exploitation.

Do you have a teapot?
Do you mind?
Water?
(water pouring)
(gas stove hissing)
(teapot clangs)
(water pouring)
Greek mountain tea.
My secret store.
Hmm.
I’m surprised it still has any scent left.
Perhaps there’s still someone out there
collecting it from the hills.
Perhaps there’s still hills out there.
Perhaps there’s a Greece,
a Japan...
if they’re not both under the sea.
Hmm.
(futuristic music)
"There is no better teacher than adversity."
Every defeat, every heartbreak,
every loss contains its own seed.
They killed the guy that said it, but it’s still true.

Hmm, that’s right.

Somebody has to win.
(sniffs)
(slurping)
GHOST: She used to be a professor of history,
until AI decided what she taught
was obscene and criminal.
That’s when she came down to live with us.
This was the last time I saw her,
she vanished soon after.
Happens all the time.
That’s how I know she was a true friend,
someone I could trust.
But it’s too late now, she’s gone.
(rumbling, static)
(sirens blaring)
Welcome.
(applause)
Wow.
You purchased Twitter with...
...to do something for charity.
There’s a new set of kings that nobody voted for,
and they have more money and power
than any corporation ever has.
REPORTER: Tesla boss, Elon Musk,
is now the richest person in the world,
with a net worth of $185 billion.
REPORTER: Facebook’s got $46 billion in cash.
The cashflow’s somewhere around $10.5/11 billion.
REPORTER: Google’s parent company, Alphabet, surged,
for the full year revenue rose to nearly $75 billion.
That now makes Alphabet
the world’s most valuable company,
ahead of Apple.
REPORTER: I just want to jump in with
some Amazon numbers:
revenue, $89 billion.
They are powerful not simply because
they have all the money and the wealth,
but because they’ve amassed all of the information.
Age, gender, ethnicity, religion,
what car you drive,
what products you purchase in shops,
what churches you attend,
how you see the world, what actually drives you.
How open you are to new experiences,
whether you prefer order and habits
and planning in your life, how social you are,
how much you tend to worry.
Big data is an understanding of your personality,
because it’s personality that drives behaviour,
and behaviour obviously influences how you vote.
These technology companies
have become behaviour- modification systems
for sale to the highest bidder.
(high tempo music)
We are worth more when we are dead slabs
of predictable human behaviour,
than when we are as living, breathing
informed citizens of a democracy.
We are worth more when we are addicted,
outraged, distracted, polarised and disinformed,
than if we are living, breathing,
free humans and citizens.
Technology domesticates us into the new kind of human.
The last time human beings were commodified,
it was the age of industrialisation,
and it was labour,
and when labour was commodified,
we had sweatshops, we had factory lines,
we had child labour,
we had exploitation of our physical bodies.
Now what’s commodified is not our physical bodies,
it’s our attention.
So what are they going to do next?
(futuristic music)
(dramatic music)
In 2017, a new AI engine got invented.
These things are generative, large language,
multimodal models.
(computer generated speech)
These models treat absolutely everything as language.
(high tempo music)
Everything human beings do runs on top of language:
our laws,
the idea of a nation state,
friendships and relationships.
And just like AI can now transit between human languages,
you can translate between almost anything.
Images can be treated as language.
Sound becomes a language. (synth sound)
DNA is just another kind of language.
This becomes the total decoding and synthesising of reality.
These models are so sophisticated
that they can actually autonomously generate
anything that you might think is unique to human creativity,
or human intelligence.
It is a massive cybersecurity issue,
it’s a national security issue.
It is a potent threat for geopolitics, election hacking,
because anybody’s identity can be assumed and appropriated.
There’s absolutely no guard rails,
no laws,
nothing that prevents the tech from gambling on this
without any consequences.
The longer nation states do not use their power
to regulate artificial intelligence,
the more data and power it gets,
which usurps the powers of nation states.
This is right up front, changing our lives.
(high tempo music continues)
Every worker has a scanner at all times
that basically tracks exactly where you’re at.
What they’re doing is they’re producing
this massive data that they are using
to be able to analyse the entire workforce.
We’re not treated as human beings,
we’re not even treated as robots.
We’re treated as part of the data stream.
We are now solving problems with machine learning
and artificial intelligence
that were in the realm of science fiction
for the last several decades.
There will come a point where no job is needed,
the AI will be able to do everything.
(drone buzzing)
So how do we build a society
where it’s not just the owners of all the machines,
and they own all the wealth,
and then all the rest of us are kind of serfs?
(jet humming)
The wealthy getting wealthier, the poorer getting poorer,
AI will exacerbate that,
and that, I think, will tear society apart,
because the rich will have just too much,
and those who are have nots will have very little way
of digging themselves out of the hole.
What we’re looking at is a paradigm change
in human communication, even human evolution.
The key question is, who controls the machines?
I am the reason OpenAI exists.
Perhaps the most important foundational technology
of our time, artificial intelligence.
Basically, there’s no institution in the world
that cannot be improved with machine learning.
(dramatic music)
If we continue giving our money
to these technology corporations,
these people will have more power and wealth
than the entire world.
And that’s what the most alarming thing is.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome on stage,
Peter Thiel. (applause)
From a libertarian perspective,
the western governments are not working that well,
there are all these things,
they’re not very competent.
MAX CHAFKIN: Peter Thiel,
the most influential venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.
And as a libertarian,
I’m always sort of anti-government, anti the state,
but there’s also been an extraordinary decline of
competence of the US government.
He is ultra-libertarian.
I mean, it’s like a real bring down the system ethos.
Our system only works with growth.
If you try to have a zero growth society,
it would represent a tremendous break from our past.
MAX CHAFKIN: Billionaires should be allowed to pay less in taxes.
Businesses should be allowed increasing freedom,
you know, bordering on the freedom
to kind of run the world.
Corporations are underrated,
because so many of these other institutions do not work.
It’s one of the things that’s endlessly frustrating
to a lot of the very successful people in Silicon Valley.
MAX CHAFKIN: He’s not just this singular figure,
he’s somebody whose ideas have proliferated.
Following Thiel is sort of this path
through the history of Silicon Valley.
It’s obviously very dysfunctional
to have mass homelessness,
it’s very dysfunctional to have no law and order.
But if you think of it as a sort of inefficient
redistributionist strategy,
there’s a lot of it that has a certain weird perverse logic.
In San Francisco, where I lived for 15 years,
the homeless people were in the lower parts of town.
They didn’t climb up the hills.
The value of the houses on the hills went up way more
than the value of the houses on the flat parts went down.
And so you have to think of the homeless people as like
this feature to increase the value
of the higher-end real estate in the city.
(typeface clacking)
Peter Thiel owns this company, Palantir,
a Silicon Valley big data company,
which has got its claws into the British government,
and it’s infiltrating itself into the NHS.
Concordance wants to fix
the fragmented healthcare supply chain.
This new health service will be organised on a national scale,
as a public responsibility.
And so everyone will pay for it,
and everyone will benefit from it.
When you’re ill, you won’t have to pay for it.
What we have in the NHS
is an entire nation’s medical history,
from cradle to the grave.
That is a vast data set, at an individual level,
and then at a nationwide level.
So, if you want to do anything with healthcare and big data,
it is a massive asset.
REPORTER: US tech firm, Palantir Technologies,
has won the biggest IT contract
in the history of NHS England.
The company have been awarded a £330 million deal
to provide AI software to bring together the data of patients.
It’s really, really important
people are transparent with what ultimately is our data.
The first funding that Palantir ever got
was actually the venture capital arm of the CIA.
And up until very recently, all of its customers
were the government.
This includes the Department of Justice,
Department of Defence,
Department of Homeland Security,
immigration, customs enforcement.
The idea that a company like that,
a company involved in surveillance,
in counter-terrorism, in border enforcement,
has any place in the NHS is ridiculous.
He’s ahead of the curve, and I want to thank you,
you’re a very special guy.
CORI CRIDER: Peter Thiel is a perfect example
of a libertarian tech bro,
who believes that what we really need
is to get away from the reins of the state,
and just set up some kind of free-for-all system
where the billionaire Übermensch
can live unfettered by other people.
We have to save this planet,
and we shouldn’t give up a future
for our grandchildren’s grandchildren, of dynamism
and growth - we can have both.
Manufactured worlds,
rotated to create artificial gravity with centrifugal force.
These are very large structures, miles on end,
and they hold a million people or more each.
High-speed transport, agricultural areas.
Some of them would be more recreational.
You could have a recreational one that keeps a zero G,
so that you can go flying.
These are ideal climates,
these are shirt-sleeve environments.
People are going to want to live here.
Techno-libertarians are really hoping for
some kind of a techno-monarchy,
where this group of elite tech bros
creates the blockchain and the algorithms
that automate our reality
under their benevolent programming, God-like wisdom.

DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF: It’s survival of the richest,
because they’re preparing for a civilisation threatening
catastrophe in their lifetime, the event,
the thermonuclear war,
the electromagnetic pulse,
the climate catastrophe, the pandemic,
the economic revolution,
whatever it is that makes life for them unliveable.
So, they’re running around trying to make toys
that somehow fix things,
like underground bunkers,
and rocket ships.
(cheering)
I want to thank every Amazon employee
and every Amazon customer,
because you guys paid for all of this.
DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF: It’s always an end justifies the means journey,
towards their better place.
And externalising a tremendous amount of horror
onto whoever isn’t on board their particular thesis.

GHOST: Could this world and my life have been different
if I’d have done something, stood up, fought back?
What difference could I make on my own?
(electronic whirring, static crackling)
(trunks snapping) (trees crashing)
(dramatic music)
They are taking our lands away
to give it to the wolves.
Evangelicals are coming into our lands
to divide our people,
erase our culture
and now they want to take away our souls.
I want to tell Bolsonaro:
Respect our life.
Respect our territory.
Respect our rights.
Respect our ancestors.
We will not give up our lands.
Because we are here to fight.
(flames crackling)
We’re running faster and faster through the woods,
increasingly blind, with less steering and control.
Things are going faster and faster and faster.
We no longer have a grip on time itself.
There are geological natural changes,
there are social changes
and there are technological changes,
and I think mostly we don’t feel that we’re in the driving seat.
We feel that these forces are driving us.
(car rumbling)
Oh my God, oh my God.
Oh my God.
My God.
My God, please stop, please! Oh my God.
Oh my God! Please, please!
Please get me out of here. Please.
Please.
Oh. Oh.
(wind howling) Oh my God.
(rumbling)
(sombre music)
We have known for quite some time
that climate change acts as a threat multiplier
for all dimensions of society,
and now we have our world on fire.
We’re losing lives. We’ve got infrastructure buckling.
We should be accelerating into the energy transition now.
(woman shouting)
We are truly in a climate emergency.
It’s here and now, it’s not in the future.
(fire crackling)
We have faced a lot of bad stuff in the past,
wars and famines and genocides,
but this is bigger than any of that.
If we allow dictators,
billionaires and private corporations much more power,
they will allow the planetary scale trashing of ecosystems.
And we will see the collapse of almost all life on earth.
Our duty, as people who care about other people,
is to oppose those who don't care about anyone
except themselves.
Because if we do nothing, we face mass extinction.

AUTOMATED VOICE: Name?
Where were you born?
Where in New San Francisco have you visited?
Names of relatives and associates?
(electronic beeping)
What groups or organisations do you connect with?
What is two plus two?
Which books have you read?
Have you ever participated in a protest?
(sombre music)
Do you pray?
Would you like to self-confess your crimes?
(gunshot) (crowds shouting)
I really feel like we’re already living
in a science fiction world,
and in this world, individual will is gone.
That’s the reality we’re already living in.
(high tempo music)
(shouting)
(sticks beating)
This year, 72 percent of the world
is under authoritarian rule.
They crush democratic institutions from within.
They don’t stay in their countries.
They then ally globally,
and that’s where we begin to see the power shifts.
Time is ticking.
If we do not act when we can, we will lose free will.
That’s the tipping point.
Are we going to fall off the cliff?
Will democracy survive, will fascism win?
(dramatic music)
