[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.080] Speaker 1: I'm not saying that a digital ID is automatically evil, like a digital ID is really
[00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.860] Speaker 1: convenient. I've lost my ID so many times before, it'd be nice just to have it on my phone.
[00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.520] Speaker 1: A programmable money could lower the risk of fraud, that's also nice, and cameras can make
[00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:16.580] Speaker 1: neighborhoods safer. These are all genuinely true and good reasons, but they're all being
[00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:21.840] Speaker 1: built together at the same time by connected institutions that'll be managed by a system
[00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:25.580] Speaker 1: that has never existed before. And it's the combination of them that allows for the
[00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:30.280] Speaker 1: centralization of power in a way that was never possible in human history. One of the main
[00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.580] Speaker 1: companies that's going to be building the surveillance and data infrastructure for this
[00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.080] Speaker 1: system is called Palantir. Palantir is a data analytics company. What you might not have
[00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:44.460] Speaker 1: known is what Palantir means. The name comes from J .R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and in
[00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:50.480] Speaker 1: that story the Palantiri are ancient seeing stones and they let whoever holds them see
[00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:57.160] Speaker 1: anything anywhere at any time. Sauron uses them not just to watch but to manipulate Middle
[00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:01.160] Speaker 1: Earth. What is that in the modern day? That's the algorithm. To make people believe things
[00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:06.060] Speaker 1: that aren't necessarily true. It feeds people their worst impulses and fears. I'm not
[00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:10.080] Speaker 1: saying this is a prophecy of the Bible, but I am saying that symbolism like this doesn't
[00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:10.960] Speaker 1: happen by accident.
