Full transcript
- 0:00uh welcome Alice uh thank you for
- 0:03joining spaces and uh I look forward to
- 0:06this discussion and um perhaps we could
- 0:09start by uh outlining if you could
- 0:12outline what uh afd's platform is uh
- 0:16what are the the the main things you're
- 0:17aiming for where does Germany need
- 0:19change and just to educate people who
- 0:21have U never heard of uh afd or IFD if
- 0:25it be German um and uh a lot of people
- 0:29especially in America um never heard of
- 0:32afd so perhaps this would be very
- 0:35helpful okay thank you very much elen
- 0:39for having me and um to give this
- 0:41opportunity to to openly speak about um
- 0:46um different matters let me uh just can
- 0:49you hear
- 0:50me I can yes perfect
- 0:53perfect um to start with um who we are
- 0:58um the afd is
- 1:00uh the alternative for Germany it is a
- 1:04relatively new party um founded 11 years
- 1:09ago uh during the course of um the um
- 1:14the Euro um um um
- 1:19problems um so um unfortunately I have
- 1:23to start uh when I shed some light on
- 1:26our party with the Quiet negative
- 1:30circumstances um in
- 1:33Germany our country is a great country
- 1:36with highly motivated
- 1:38people but our
- 1:40country um has been governed not in a
- 1:44proper way within the last 20 25
- 1:47years um we had the Angela Merkel
- 1:51Administration for 16 years and then the
- 1:54so-called traffic light Coalition that
- 1:57imploded last year and now we have
- 1:59heading
- 2:01elections um in my point of view uh
- 2:04Angela Merkel the first green
- 2:08chancelor um she ruined basically our
- 2:11country she enforced without asking the
- 2:15people she enforced to open our borders
- 2:18for illegal immigration in
- 2:222015 she wrecked and destroyed our uh
- 2:26Backbone in terms of obnoxious energy
- 2:31policy um for um the foreign uh
- 2:35listeners here in this audience um
- 2:38Germany is the only industrial country
- 2:41the only industrial country that um um
- 2:46unpluged the nuclear power plant so the
- 2:50aim of Angela Merkel um was to um to
- 2:57enforce just solar
- 3:00and wind
- 3:01energy and you don't need to be very
- 3:05smart um to encounter that you cannot
- 3:09run a industrial country with just wind
- 3:13and solar because you don't have any
- 3:15energy and
- 3:18electricity when the sun doesn't shine
- 3:21and when the wind uh doesn't blow and
- 3:24this is a major problem sorry I mean I
- 3:27obviously I'm a big fan of of solar
- 3:29energy but um clearly somebody if a
- 3:32country is at a very high latitude then
- 3:34the amount of solar um Power in the
- 3:36winter is going to be substantially
- 3:38reduced yeah um and there of course
- 3:39there's a significant difference in the
- 3:41day night cycle of energy usage um so a
- 3:46lot of it a lot of power can be done
- 3:48with solar and with large scale grid
- 3:51energy batteries but it must be
- 3:54supplemented with other forms of power
- 3:57um because um there's not a lot of
- 3:59sunshine in the middle of winter in
- 4:01Germany um so it the solution obviously
- 4:05must be a multifaceted solution uh where
- 4:09there is certainly Renewables but also
- 4:11um that that there does need to be some
- 4:14form some amount of fossil fuel energy
- 4:17and and and especially nuclear I think
- 4:19nuclear is very much underrated I was I
- 4:22think it was a tragic for Dom to shut
- 4:24down the nuclear power plants um in fact
- 4:26they're they're very welld designed and
- 4:28I think that the right move uh is in
- 4:30fact to increase the amount of nuclear
- 4:33power substantially in Germany this
- 4:35would be um this would be great um yes
- 4:39absolutely yeah yes absolutely um so
- 4:44that was the reason why I wanted to shed
- 4:46some light on the current situation so
- 4:49in order to form a opinion what our
- 4:51party stand for because this is exactly
- 4:54what you said um we stand for a energy
- 4:58energy Supply diversification we cannot
- 5:01run a a industrial country like Germany
- 5:06with a strong still strong manufacturing
- 5:09uh base um to tell you the truth um our
- 5:14manufacturing production um it peaked in
- 5:172018 and it plummeted since then due to
- 5:20high energy costs and you cannot run a
- 5:23country like that so therefore we we say
- 5:26look we need to be technology open we
- 5:30need to reinforce again nuclear power
- 5:33plants because nuclear energy Supply is
- 5:37um is carbon free right so therefore we
- 5:40would also yeah we would also reduce our
- 5:44carbon footprint uh which is uh
- 5:46obnoxiously very very high and this is
- 5:49the entire irony about it so uh our
- 5:53governments like the Angela Merkel
- 5:55government and the so-called ridiculous
- 5:58traffic light coal ition they enforced a
- 6:01green policy upon our country that
- 6:04doesn't work and yeah and we would like
- 6:08to go back to technology openness
- 6:11here yeah I think that makes a lot of
- 6:12sense I mean my recommendation and I've
- 6:14said this publicly before is that
- 6:16Germany should not merely reopen the
- 6:18nuclear power plants but substantially
- 6:20increase the um the power generation the
- 6:24the um you don't with on in the same
- 6:27space meaning without increasing the the
- 6:29size of the nuclear power plant uh in
- 6:31any meaningful way without increasing
- 6:32the amount of land area that it uses you
- 6:34can dramatically increase the power
- 6:36output of the nuclear power station
- 6:38because the the actual core part of the
- 6:41power station is extremely tiny people
- 6:43don't quite realize just how small the
- 6:45center core of a nuclear power plant is
- 6:48um yes it's like amazingly tiny and so
- 6:51you can actually in the same land area
- 6:53no increased land area dramatically
- 6:55increase the amount of nuclear power
- 6:57that that that any given nuclear power
- 6:59St is producing um you do need a a water
- 7:03source for um for the to run the steam
- 7:06turbines but uh really far more power
- 7:09output is possible than than people
- 7:11realize um and I think the sensible
- 7:14solution
- 7:15is uh you know Renewables but with with
- 7:19a lot of nuclear and then uh you know to
- 7:21supplement uh where that there has to be
- 7:25some amount of uh hydrocarbon power
- 7:28generation to supplement yes where yeah
- 7:31just it just needs to be sensible yeah
- 7:33absolutely but uh um do you know what so
- 7:36just just uh just let me uh do just like
- 7:40one more example because um like like um
- 7:44like wind turbines wind energy in
- 7:47comparison to nuclear power uh Supply is
- 7:51highly inefficient also uh in terms of
- 7:54land use so for instance I give one
- 7:58example just to sh some light on it if
- 8:00you were to replace one nuclear power
- 8:03plant let's say like one like Mand
- 8:06nuclear power plant here in Germany with
- 8:08an annual electricity production of 10
- 8:12billion kilowatt per hour with Mod than
- 8:15wind turbines with a production of just
- 8:188 million kilowatt per hour per year you
- 8:22would need
- 8:241,250 wind turbines just to just to
- 8:28replace this one power plant and with a
- 8:33rotor diameter of 70 M and the minimum
- 8:37distance from large wind farms um you
- 8:40end up around with like 100 square
- 8:43kilometers for example this corresponds
- 8:47to half of the city major city of
- 8:49stutgart right so uh so this this entire
- 8:54thing and uh just to just to uh uh just
- 8:58to stress the fact again you don't need
- 9:01to be uh very smart just to do your
- 9:05calculations but our but our energy
- 9:09ping crazy thing the crazy thing is is
- 9:11like like a bunch of these these these
- 9:14energy questions um you you do not need
- 9:16to be like like a world leading
- 9:19physicist it's very basic math like yes
- 9:22High SCH less than High School level
- 9:24math I'd say middle school math even um
- 9:27it's it's very straightforward uh
- 9:30not not complicated yes absolutely and
- 9:33then during during the uh crisis like
- 9:36during the war
- 9:38huh sorry no please go ahead yeah so uh
- 9:42during the war of Ukraine so um our our
- 9:46um our um gas supply was just destroyed
- 9:50and that um actually shed some light on
- 9:53our in uh son our severe dependence on
- 9:56Russian gas and do you know what what's
- 9:59a government decided in this uh crisis
- 10:02when the energy prices Skyrock after we
- 10:05were cut off of uh of of uh of cheap
- 10:09energy Supply from Russia they switched
- 10:13off the last nuclear power plan to even
- 10:16more uh create a um a shortage of energy
- 10:21so either you must be very
- 10:23stupid or you just hate your own country
- 10:30isn't it I I think it's mostly the very
- 10:33stupid category um the very St well I
- 10:36mean there there's old saying that like
- 10:38one should never ascribe to malice that
- 10:40which can easily be explained by
- 10:42incompetence yes you're perfectly right
- 10:45no so um but yes I I I actually when I
- 10:49saw that Germany was turning off the
- 10:50power plants after being cut off from
- 10:52gas supplies you know from Russia I
- 10:55thought this is the crazi this is one of
- 10:56the craziest things I've ever seen just
- 10:58just when Germany most needs electricity
- 11:03Germany is shutting down one of the best
- 11:05sources of electricity which is nuclear
- 11:06power yes and completely carbon
- 11:10free yeah crazy crazy it's crazy yeah so
- 11:15so I I guess um to summarize the mean
- 11:20the the two main things that uh uh afd
- 11:24is aiming for uh in terms of change is
- 11:27uh a sensible um
- 11:30uh energy policy um and uh sensible
- 11:33immigration policy yes
- 11:37exactly so but actually even more so we
- 11:41would like so um if I if if I may
- 11:44continue a little bit because now it's a
- 11:47it's a el it's a complete new situation
- 11:50for me um that um that I just can have a
- 11:55normal conversation and I'm not
- 11:58interrupted or NE negatively framed um
- 12:01how that has been um in the media the
- 12:03case in the last 10 years which is
- 12:06completely ridiculous so uh um what we
- 12:10what we also stand for since we are a
- 12:12conservative libertarian party so at
- 12:15least we see ourselves like this but we
- 12:18are extremely negatively framed as a
- 12:21so-called extremist Party by the uh
- 12:24mainstream media so we just say look uh
- 12:27we need to reduce uh bureaucracy see we
- 12:29need to free our our firms our companies
- 12:33the individuals of the subious um um bu
- 12:37bureaucratic um um conditions here do
- 12:40you know like how long it takes how many
- 12:43days it takes to get a business permit
- 12:45in Germany just guess well as as as as
- 12:48it turns out I do because we oh yeah the
- 12:51big plan so how many days it take Car
- 12:54Factory uh you know just um near Berlin
- 12:58uh so we had uh many many challenges I
- 13:02mean this is to be clear like we
- 13:04actually had a lot of support a lot of
- 13:06local support a lot of local support
- 13:08from from the the local government from
- 13:10the national government and and despite
- 13:12all that support just the sheer number
- 13:14of rules that bu you know the people in
- 13:17in the government are required to follow
- 13:19um is completely crazy um and we we had
- 13:23to I think it was 25,000 Pages was our
- 13:27permit um and it had to be it had to be
- 13:30all printed on pap
- 13:325,000
- 13:34yes I think this is crazy in the end
- 13:3725,000 and then there has to be many
- 13:39many copies made so it literally was a
- 13:41truck of paper
- 13:44um we like surely we can make this
- 13:46electronic you know should isn't that
- 13:49better no not possible you need to have
- 13:51that on paper in Germany and no it has
- 13:53to be paper I'm like this is crazy um
- 13:56this is only a few years ago it's not
- 13:57the distant pth I mean it's like we're
- 13:59you know we're well into the we're we're
- 14:02we're you know quarter of the way
- 14:03through the 21st century it's like guys
- 14:05let's just 45,000 actual printed pages
- 14:09and then I believe every page needed to
- 14:12be stamped with a physical stamp um I
- 14:15mean it's gonna really Tire somebody out
- 14:17to do so much yeah um you know they're
- 14:20gonna get some many many people tired
- 14:24arms yeah they're G to get a repetitive
- 14:26stress injury from having to stamp
- 14:30stress
- 14:33injuries just end up to the hospital or
- 14:35something I mean that's that's yeah um
- 14:38so uh track of
- 14:41paper I'm not trying to blame the the
- 14:43sort of individuals who are doing this
- 14:44time because they are just following the
- 14:46rules so we have to change the rules and
- 14:49and there needs to be um I think in my
- 14:51view for for you know old countries but
- 14:54especially countries that have endured
- 14:55prosperity for a long time it is
- 14:57extremely important to have have what I
- 14:59call sort of garbage collection of rules
- 15:02which is to reexamine the the rules and
- 15:04regulations U and and make sure that
- 15:07that they are clearly a net good and and
- 15:09if there's any doubt about them being a
- 15:11net good we should eliminate them
- 15:12because otherwise we get to this point
- 15:14where everything is illegal and uh so
- 15:17it's just absolutely
- 15:20crazy absolutely absolutely and it's not
- 15:24only about bureaucracy it's also about
- 15:27taxes Germany has a highest taxes uh of
- 15:31all oecd countries so um so the normal
- 15:36German employee he works half of more
- 15:40than half of a year for the state you
- 15:41have to imagine that like like uh with
- 15:45taxes plus Social
- 15:47Security um so more than half of the
- 15:50year you work for this um dysfunctioning
- 15:54State because like the state uh does not
- 15:58provide the vital um the vital
- 16:01Provisions for the people here so um he
- 16:05doesn't provide for security so we have
- 16:07like like skyrocketing criminal rights
- 16:11here um um he doesn't care about
- 16:15education so we have this same um insane
- 16:19Vish leftish socialist agenda uh in our
- 16:23educational system so the young people
- 16:26they don't learn anything in school um
- 16:30in
- 16:31University um um Etc so they just learn
- 16:35about gender studies and they just
- 16:39yeah and uh no really like like I was
- 16:43under the I was under the impression
- 16:44that Germany had a had a pretty good
- 16:46education system that yes that was quite
- 16:49rigorous with you know the gymnasium and
- 16:50all that sort of stuff at least it used
- 16:52to at one point um yes so um but it
- 16:57sounds like this has uh I don't know the
- 17:00work mine virus has infected Germany
- 17:01quite badly yeah yeah um so you have the
- 17:07the international standard of Pisa
- 17:09testing right so the Pisa survey so uh
- 17:12Germany like a couple of years ago was
- 17:15okay scored okay scored but now so we so
- 17:21we just plummeted because because uh the
- 17:24survey showed that young people are not
- 17:26able uh to properly do Mar
- 17:29or speak or write German and in some
- 17:33like in some states here in Germany you
- 17:35have to imagine they just abolished the
- 17:38writing grades uh in terms uh to get um
- 17:43um the uh language grade right so you
- 17:46don't need to write German properly
- 17:49anymore because our entire educational
- 17:52system has been deteriorating and that
- 17:54is also um the the reason for instance
- 17:58why Young people they votee for uh for
- 18:02us now because they want to have a
- 18:05proper education and they want to have
- 18:07back a proper educ educational system
- 18:11that um um that um that um provides the
- 18:16young people with uh with capabilities
- 18:20and that is also the reason why I uh so
- 18:23my personal opinion is that we have to
- 18:26go back to a merit based system
- 18:29right so we need to go back to a merit
- 18:31based incentive system H and go away
- 18:34from all this socialist gender things um
- 18:38um being in our educational system the
- 18:41families and the parents they have the
- 18:45responsibility of their children and the
- 18:48schools and the university they have the
- 18:50responsibility uh to give good education
- 18:53and that uh and not all this Vogue
- 18:55socialist nonsensical gender stuff
- 18:59sure uh no absolutely um I mean the
- 19:02whole point of going to school is to
- 19:04learn uh useful skills that help you in
- 19:07life um help you be productive and
- 19:09understand the world yes and uh
- 19:13otherwise it's not a school it's it's a
- 19:15it's just a propaganda
- 19:17institution true yeah so um okay well I
- 19:21mean that makes makes a lot of sense um
- 19:25so see yeah so maybe maybe I can just um
- 19:30go on because I I was um I I was just
- 19:33giving an example of the educational
- 19:35system uh where where the state fails
- 19:39because because because our state the
- 19:42government collected in the last year um
- 19:45a record high of income tax so um they
- 19:49col they collected like around like
- 19:52above one um one trillion right um of
- 19:57euros so it is a record high tax but the
- 20:01state they cannot they cannot handle
- 20:05taxpayers money so what do they do so
- 20:08they just uh um um throw throw the money
- 20:11out of the window for uh for uh for
- 20:15immigration in our social system for
- 20:17instance so since 2015 just to give you
- 20:20some numbers and also the audience to
- 20:23have to have an idea what's going on
- 20:25here in Germany so we had an influx um
- 20:29um of um of almost 7 million people 7
- 20:33million people but these are the
- 20:36officially counted so um 7 million
- 20:39people wow okay 7 million people of
- 20:41influx since 2015 officially counted and
- 20:46then uh because the people they
- 20:49just just another funny numbers our
- 20:52state allows people to throw away their
- 20:55passports before they cross our border
- 20:59that are not protected and controlled so
- 21:0257% almost 60% of the people coming into
- 21:05our country on through a open border
- 21:08they throw away their papers why do they
- 21:11do that because once entered our country
- 21:15our funny country with this funny
- 21:17immigration policy they cannot be
- 21:19deported anymore so that's a reason why
- 21:22so our state our government like um the
- 21:27Angela Merkel government and the last
- 21:29one they proclaimed a policy that
- 21:33everyone can choose to cross our border
- 21:36to immigrate into our social security
- 21:39system and cannot be deported afterwards
- 21:43because they threw away their passports
- 21:46I mean like how how insane is that well
- 21:50it is very insane but that's exactly
- 21:52what's happened in the US yeah exactly I
- 21:54mean clearly there there's you know
- 21:56there's a sort of uh I don't know uh
- 21:58sort of a far-left agenda that's being
- 22:00pushed uh throughout uh Western
- 22:03Civilization any any place they can go
- 22:05because the exact the exact same thing
- 22:07was done in the US where uh and now they
- 22:10they sort of calling people illegal
- 22:11immigrants they call them undocumented
- 22:13and the reason undocumented is because
- 22:15they threw away their passport just like
- 22:17you're talking about in fact if on on
- 22:20the Mexican side of the Border in the US
- 22:21there's a giant pile of of discarded uh
- 22:25passports and driver's licenses like a
- 22:28huge file
- 22:29unable because it's actually worse to
- 22:32come in with a passport than to come in
- 22:34with
- 22:34nothing um and then uh just like in
- 22:37Germany the the the democratic
- 22:39government uh then gives um massive
- 22:42amounts of uh money uh and support to
- 22:46what they call undocumented but but then
- 22:48but if they're undocumented we actually
- 22:49have no idea if they are a murderer
- 22:52rapist we have no idea because they they
- 22:54have no documents so we can't actually
- 22:56tell and so as a result uh there have
- 22:59been there's been a massive influx of of
- 23:01criminals into the US uh because and
- 23:04frankly I I mean I'm wondering what's
- 23:07taking criminals so long to come here I
- 23:09mean this is a t i mean America is a
- 23:11target-rich environment it's it's it's
- 23:13you
- 23:14know the you could in America it's so
- 23:17easy to steal things uh in these wealthy
- 23:19neighborhoods it's like the only thing
- 23:21that is is going to slow down how much
- 23:23you can steal is is is if your back hurs
- 23:25from carrying out all the goods you know
- 23:27it's like because you're just like a
- 23:29it's you're not a rubber you're just a
- 23:31moving company um so uh you know like it
- 23:36seems like all the world's criminals
- 23:37just come to America on that basis um
- 23:40because it's a such an it's much easier
- 23:43to be a career criminal in America than
- 23:44it is in in other countries where
- 23:46there's not that much to steal yeah um
- 23:49so um you a massive increase in crime in
- 23:52in the US yeah may I uh may I ask a
- 23:56question on that so read I read that for
- 24:00instance in California um by the way I'm
- 24:03very sorry what's happening there it's
- 24:05terrible it's really terrible to see um
- 24:08and um yeah it's terrible but um in the
- 24:11case of California that U they just
- 24:15lifted um um uh the the the prosecution
- 24:21of Seft because you have so many cases
- 24:24of theft is it
- 24:26true um yes the the de facto situation
- 24:30um in California is that uh theft is
- 24:33almost never prosecuted it's maybe one
- 24:36or two maybe 1% of the time uh is is
- 24:39theft prosecuted um and uh and even when
- 24:43it is prosecuted the the the criminals
- 24:45are let out on bail immediately so
- 24:47basically theft is legal in
- 24:49California I'm be it's it's it's crazy
- 24:53um it's crazy yeah um now there was
- 24:57recently a referendum uh in California
- 24:59to uh to make to make crime to make
- 25:03stealing illegal again which was and
- 25:06actually that was very popular and it
- 25:08passed uh uh so um because it it was
- 25:12actually literally legal to steal
- 25:14anything under $1,000 which means people
- 25:16could just walk into a store yeah at
- 25:18$1,000 at a time and take out anything
- 25:20they want and if this if the storekeeper
- 25:23stopped them the storekeeper would be
- 25:25arrested um so this is literally like
- 25:28the The Joker and Batman it's like the
- 25:30the criminals you know um are in charge
- 25:33and the the honest citizens are arrested
- 25:35it's just completely insane now like you
- 25:37said the the the people in California
- 25:40did vote overwhelmingly to make theft
- 25:42illegal again yeah um but but but um
- 25:46astonishingly the governor of California
- 25:49uh Governor um Nome he was against the
- 25:53making theft illegal
- 25:56um implement
- 25:59yeah well well but what what they're
- 26:01going to do is even though it is
- 26:02technically illegal again um they the
- 26:06the sort of farli will refuse to enforce
- 26:09it unbelievable because because you
- 26:11really need two things uh for something
- 26:14to work for for laws to work you need
- 26:16you need both the law and you need
- 26:18enforcement of the law and if you don't
- 26:20have if you have if you so I mean this
- 26:23is something that George sorus really
- 26:24figured out I mean he's he's sort of
- 26:26yeah bril brilliant guy but honestly
- 26:27very
- 26:29you know anti-human in my opinion uh is
- 26:31that you don't actually need to change
- 26:33the law you just need to stop
- 26:34enforcement of the law um and and and
- 26:37that that does that does the
- 26:39trick um so I but I think there's there
- 26:43is somewhat of a Reawakening in the US
- 26:46and I think even in California people
- 26:47are are tired of tired of this and they
- 26:49won't change and I think that's that's
- 26:52really if you say like what people are
- 26:54wondering like why did uh why why did
- 26:57Donald Trump win um and it's and and
- 26:59wasn't just a small victory um in the US
- 27:02elections this year uh you know
- 27:04president Trump won uh the Electoral
- 27:07College he also won the popular vote
- 27:08majority of the of the people um and the
- 27:12the the house is Republican and the
- 27:14senat Republican what this says is the
- 27:17American people uh are demanding change
- 27:20that be very clear um and my
- 27:23recommendation to for the people in
- 27:25Germany is to do the same um if if if
- 27:28you are unhappy with the situation you
- 27:30must vote for change um and that is why
- 27:33I'm really strongly recommending that
- 27:35people vote for afd U that's my that's
- 27:38my strong recommendation and and I think
- 27:41uh this is simply the sensible move U
- 27:45and um I think Alice be's a very very
- 27:47reasonable person and hopefully people
- 27:49can tell just from this conversation
- 27:52like nothing outrageous is being
- 27:54proposed uh just common sense um so uh
- 27:59in fact I I I as I've said publicly I
- 28:02think only afd can save Germany and I
- 28:05just want to be very clear about that
- 28:07only afd can save Germany end of story
- 28:11and people really need to get behind afd
- 28:13and otherwise things are going to get
- 28:15very very much worse in Germany yes
- 28:18because because be because you rightly
- 28:21said um there is a difference of making
- 28:24a law and then enforcing it so now we
- 28:26have the situation in Germany where you
- 28:29have on the one hand you have the afd
- 28:31and on the other hand what's so-called
- 28:34uni party right the uni party consisting
- 28:38of all the others because because they
- 28:41stick together and um no matter what
- 28:45they say they're not able to implement
- 28:49to enforce the promises they're doing in
- 28:52every election especially the Angela
- 28:54Merkel party do you know that the uh
- 28:56that the chancellor CED so so my so my
- 29:00running mate of the Chris Democratic
- 29:02party that it's um wrongly labeled for
- 29:06instance by The Economist as a center
- 29:08right party so in my opinion it's a
- 29:10leftish green party but anyway Angela
- 29:13mer was the first green Chancellor we
- 29:15had here so um what he did is um that he
- 29:20by the way um just um talking about
- 29:24interference um so I just look it up
- 29:27here um
- 29:28he called your interest so your
- 29:31interests in German politics pushy and
- 29:34presumptuous
- 29:36and about George Soros yeah yeah exactly
- 29:39and Bill Gates so that was not a problem
- 29:44when Bill Gates uh um actually tried to
- 29:46sell his Mna vaccination and not
- 29:51mentioning all the huge um side effects
- 29:55on people's health and no one takes
- 29:58responsibility about that and the entire
- 30:01Bluff and scam of wearing a mask right
- 30:06so yes it's unbelievable and um also
- 30:09that candidate of the Chris Democrats
- 30:12like fredrich Mez he warned the world
- 30:15about the consequences of voting for
- 30:18Donald Trump in October last year so uh
- 30:22so so far for like foreign interferences
- 30:26right so it's unbelievable it's really
- 30:28unbelievable like how Donald Trump was
- 30:31treated by German media and German
- 30:35politicians during um his election
- 30:38campaign was unbelievable and I
- 30:40mentioned that before in a Bloomberg
- 30:42interview it created for me it created
- 30:46physical pain to see that how he was
- 30:48disparaged like and his entire family so
- 30:53um yeah so I feel very sorry for these
- 30:56people um
- 30:58um just like uh yeah um um saying
- 31:02negative things and um now yeah while we
- 31:07while we talk 150 bureaucrats of the
- 31:10European Union are watching us our
- 31:13conversation um to enforce this
- 31:16ridiculous Digital Services act that is
- 31:20uh nothing uh nothing else than a
- 31:24censorship on Free Speech but free
- 31:27speech right it's a yes and you said it
- 31:30free speech is a precondition of
- 31:32democracy if you are not able to form a
- 31:36proper opinion and exchange opinions and
- 31:39ideas and uh a democracy should be a
- 31:42competition of the best ideas right and
- 31:45compromises absolutely yeah but yes
- 31:47exactly without freedom of speech people
- 31:51are are are obviously not able to say
- 31:52what they want to say and and then um
- 31:55they cannot make an informed vote so if
- 31:58if if people are are simply fed
- 32:00propaganda and have no access to what's
- 32:03really going on then uh they can't make
- 32:06an informed vote uh and then they you
- 32:08don't have a real democracy so that's
- 32:11why I say you know free speech is the
- 32:13bedr of democracy uh there must be free
- 32:16speech in order for people to make an
- 32:17informed vote so that's essential um and
- 32:22and and you can sort of it's actually
- 32:24quite easy to tell who the bad guys are
- 32:26it's like who wants to shut down free
- 32:27freedom of speech they are the bad guys
- 32:29it's very clear yes and you know what
- 32:34what uh what um what Adolf Hitler did
- 32:38the first thing he switched off uh U um
- 32:42free speech so he controls the media and
- 32:46uh and without that he would have never
- 32:50been
- 32:52successful
- 32:54successful this is what you do
- 32:55absolutely yeah no exactly it's um that
- 32:59that was uh one of one of the first
- 33:01things he did was was to control the
- 33:03media and um and uh imposed extreme
- 33:08censorship um and uh and really what he
- 33:11was trying to do was shut down any PRS
- 33:14Semitic uh media uh anything premi or
- 33:17any defense of the Jewish people was
- 33:20shut down that's that so that's that's a
- 33:23so we have like you know very you know
- 33:26for those who who want censorship they
- 33:28should I think they should be careful
- 33:30what they what they ask for because uh
- 33:33when if once you Institute censorship
- 33:35it's only a matter of time before that
- 33:36censorship is turned on you and
- 33:39eventually they will censor you and
- 33:41that's the that's the danger um because
- 33:43people love to censor uh things they
- 33:46don't agree with but they don't realize
- 33:48that one day that censorship is going to
- 33:50be turned on them absolutely so yeah um
- 33:54so I mean I mean you mentioned of course
- 33:56uh uh you know Hitler and whatnot uh now
- 34:00there's a lot of the media uh wants to
- 34:03portray afd as far right as somehow
- 34:06associated with Nazism or something like
- 34:08that perhaps you could address uh that
- 34:12that concern because you know people
- 34:13when they have sort of rightwing in
- 34:15Germany they you know naturally have a
- 34:18bit of a negative
- 34:22reaction um yes thank you uh thank you
- 34:25for the question uh first of all
- 34:28um I would like to um since I'm a um
- 34:32Economist um um I would like to um shed
- 34:36some light on the idea uh when we talk
- 34:39about Hitler uh on the idea of the
- 34:42national
- 34:44socialists uh back then during the third
- 34:46R uh the National Socialist um as a word
- 34:51says there were socialists out of are
- 34:54consider yeah naal Industries like czy
- 34:58yes absolutely he was a communist and he
- 35:01considered himself as a socialist so
- 35:05what they did they um they um they um um
- 35:11um yeah they um state founded then the
- 35:14um the um private companies and then
- 35:17they asked for um for uh taxes huge
- 35:21taxes and then also wait a second I need
- 35:24to ask the word now for
- 35:28National yeah nationalize the entire
- 35:31industry yeah you said that before and
- 35:34um and and the biggest success the
- 35:38biggest success after that terrible era
- 35:42in our history was to label Adolf Hitler
- 35:47as right and conservative he was exactly
- 35:51the opposite he wasn't a conservative he
- 35:54wasn't a Libertarian he was a communist
- 35:59socialist guy so full stop no more
- 36:03comment on that and we are exactly the
- 36:06opposite we are libertarian conservative
- 36:09party and see look at this uh during uh
- 36:13like now like during the discussion of
- 36:15this terrible Hamas attack uh on Israel
- 36:19so only the leftish
- 36:22Palestinians they criticize uh um um the
- 36:26policies here so you have a deeply
- 36:31vested
- 36:33anti-Semitism within the leftish
- 36:35movement and it was always that case why
- 36:39and Adolf Hitler he also played with
- 36:41that he played with the Envy of people
- 36:45Jewish people have been highly
- 36:48educated very cultivated and there were
- 36:51successful there were worthy people back
- 36:53in Germany then and then he enforced the
- 36:57Envy of the population against these
- 37:01people and it was a socialist measure
- 37:05taken against them look at Stalin look
- 37:08at the Soviet Union under Stalin the
- 37:10very same thing so he was nothing else
- 37:13than anti-semitic uh socialist and we
- 37:16are exactly the opposite we are a
- 37:19Libertarian conservative party we are
- 37:21wrongly framed the entire time and we
- 37:24would like to free the people of the
- 37:27State I want to have independently
- 37:30thinking people self-confident people I
- 37:33would like to have a state that is
- 37:36minimized minimized uh to his functions
- 37:40um and letting the people having their
- 37:43freedom of speech um freedom of wealth
- 37:47also like generating wealth uh with
- 37:49these obnoxiously high taxes the PE uh
- 37:53the state roads the backbone uh of
- 37:57wealth right so the people are not able
- 37:59to accumulate wealth that make them
- 38:02independent from the state so I would
- 38:05like to have independently thinking um
- 38:09well educated people who have the
- 38:11freedom to form their own opinion I want
- 38:14to have strong leaders in Germany I
- 38:17don't want to have stupid weak leaders
- 38:19as we had uh in the last couple of years
- 38:23because these people cannot uh think
- 38:25straightly and there are a big dat
- 38:28look at the war in Ukraine now there a
- 38:30big danger of to our national security
- 38:33and to uh actually to the entire
- 38:36European security this is also my hope
- 38:40um in Donald Trump and in you in your
- 38:44Administration um that you end that
- 38:47terrible War this worthless worthless
- 38:50dying of young people every day like as
- 38:53fast as you can because the Europeans
- 38:55they cannot they actually given up on
- 38:58everything like on a good military on a
- 39:01good negoti negotiation power they're
- 39:04completely depend um on the US um in the
- 39:08sense of oh um the USA need to do the
- 39:12entire job we don't need to do anything
- 39:15uh we just escalate the entire conflict
- 39:19um um against Russia it's very dangerous
- 39:23what's going on here and only um um you
- 39:26can you can you can basically stop
- 39:29it yeah I I mean I think U president
- 39:32Trump is is going to you know is going
- 39:35to solve that that conflict I think very
- 39:36quickly um as you point out U it's now
- 39:40been in somewhat of a a stalemate for a
- 39:42few years and all that's happened over
- 39:44the past few years is hundreds of
- 39:45thousands of people dying um but but for
- 39:48for no gains yeah um and the longer this
- 39:51conflict goes on um the more uh Ukraine
- 39:55weakens relative to Russia I mean
- 39:56Ukraine is smaller country it simply
- 39:58cannot afford the losses relative to
- 40:00Russia Russia has uh it's just you know
- 40:05it's this this is the longer this drags
- 40:07on the worse it is uh for for Ukraine um
- 40:10and then you've got all these poor you
- 40:12know men dying and in for nothing why um
- 40:19so um I hope this can be this this
- 40:22terrible conflict can be resolved uh
- 40:24quickly and I think it will be under
- 40:25President Trump yeah well be great
- 40:28actually because this is our now really
- 40:30like um the people here like like many
- 40:34people are
- 40:35anxious and they're anxious for a very
- 40:39good reason I think because this
- 40:41conflict uh conflict has a potential to
- 40:44escalate big time um towards a nuclear
- 40:48exchange and here the European
- 40:51governments they have no measure they
- 40:53have no strategy they have no red line
- 40:55no story line uh of their foreign and
- 40:58security policy towards Russia towards
- 41:02Ukraine um they have no strategy to end
- 41:05that and they don't have the military
- 41:07power right so they under spand the
- 41:10budget to
- 41:11Nato for actually for decades like for
- 41:16for a very long time like the average
- 41:18for instance of Germany because um the
- 41:21share of GDP is supposed to be 2% so
- 41:25Germany on average I think just like uh
- 41:28slightly above 1% so Germany didn't
- 41:31contribute but Germany is also not
- 41:35prudent um of the defendants of our own
- 41:39country so this is the second thing so
- 41:43uh we are we are we are completely
- 41:45dependent on the US but I think uh and
- 41:48I've listened to this very interesting
- 41:50uh speech of JD Vance um he said um he
- 41:55doesn't want to he doesn't want to have
- 41:57client states right yeah so he wants to
- 42:01have independent
- 42:04states who who all that also form their
- 42:09own independent opinion on things right
- 42:12so you you you for instance in your
- 42:15companies you don't want to be
- 42:17surrounded by yes people and by mediocre
- 42:20people right so me neither so I try to
- 42:24acquire absolutely yeah so I try to uh
- 42:27also I try to to to um to have uh the
- 42:31best people in my team uh and these best
- 42:34people they have the task to criticize
- 42:36me every day and I don't want to have
- 42:39yes Sayers right because you cannot
- 42:42learn so you have no mistake correction
- 42:46Sor I just say yes
- 42:48yes yes yes yes yes people no but but
- 42:54it's so but it's so important to yes no
- 42:57yeah
- 42:59yes um so yeah no absolutely I mean for
- 43:03say my companies like SpaceX and Tesla
- 43:05if you know if
- 43:07um if if we we we are constantly looking
- 43:09for critical feedback because if we make
- 43:11a mistake uh then the Rockets blow up
- 43:13and the cars don't work yeah so uh you
- 43:16know physics is is very unforgiving um
- 43:18you know there's you know I say like
- 43:20really physics is the law um and and and
- 43:23everything else is a recommendation
- 43:24because I've seen people break every
- 43:27kind of law but I haven't seen them
- 43:28break physics um and so if you don't get
- 43:31the design of the rocket and operation
- 43:33of the rocket exactly right and if even
- 43:35one thing is wrong the rocket explodes
- 43:38yeah so um you know that's I'm strong
- 43:40believer in seeking critical feedback
- 43:42and in fact I think critical feedback
- 43:43should be viewed as a
- 43:46gift
- 43:48yes
- 43:50absolutely yes um so no no no no but uh
- 43:54but uh um just uh just um um just to uh
- 43:58continue on that topic so um if you
- 44:02don't have that feedback loop so um your
- 44:06your rocket May explode right but here
- 44:09in this critical phase of this terrible
- 44:11war in uh in the um
- 44:14Ukraine uh many people may die due to
- 44:19the stupid policies that have been many
- 44:21people have died yeah indeed yeah um so
- 44:25well I mean let touch on some some uh
- 44:28maybe potential what people may view as
- 44:31hot mton uh issues like what are what
- 44:33are your views on
- 44:35Israel oh very complicated the more no
- 44:39no really
- 44:41like the more the more I read about the
- 44:45Middle East and the situation in Israel
- 44:47the more complicated it gets and to be
- 44:51honest I wanted to ask you um about a
- 44:54potential solution because to be honest
- 44:57like in my humble opinion I don't see a
- 45:01a a solution so maybe maybe uh um Israel
- 45:07um have to find some um um alliances
- 45:11with the Sunni States maybe if possible
- 45:15um and um yeah to be honest from my
- 45:19point of view like from my perspective
- 45:21it's a very complicated situation and I
- 45:25don't you know
- 45:27I'm not this person I'm not the
- 45:29politician um if you ask a question that
- 45:32I do this blah blah blah I really say
- 45:35what I think to to do honest uh U
- 45:39politics and to be honest I don't know
- 45:44um very like to be very Frank I don't
- 45:47know how to solve the conflict at this
- 45:50point in time and I hope maybe you have
- 45:52an answer on
- 45:54that sorry for for for being
- 45:57dissatisfactory but it's so complicated
- 46:00and um um I want to give pent answer and
- 46:03in case of Israel I don't know how to
- 46:06resolve this conflict to be
- 46:08honest uh well well I guess maybe
- 46:11another way to say it is uh do you unly
- 46:13support the existence of the state of
- 46:14Israel yes of course okay that's what
- 46:18people want to know yeah
- 46:21so asking questions that maybe seem very
- 46:24obvious but oh no no oh yeah
- 46:28oh yes now now I now I see was this
- 46:31question no absolutely yeah so uh so we
- 46:34need to protect the existence of Israel
- 46:38and we need to protect not only the
- 46:40existence of the state of
- 46:42Israel um I also think that Benjamin
- 46:45netan have made many mistakes in the
- 46:47past to be honest um but we also need um
- 46:52to take our responsibility as a German
- 46:54nation state to protect Jewish life
- 46:58Jewish people in our country who are
- 47:01exposed right now to uh to um to um um
- 47:07mus Muslim crime right so they are not
- 47:11safe here anymore so um you I don't know
- 47:16if you if you uh saw uh some videos
- 47:20here off the streets of Berlin I'm right
- 47:23now in my office in Berlin but uh like
- 47:26with all these demonstrations of the
- 47:29Palestinians here well um a Jew could
- 47:34not walk uh U um through the street
- 47:37anymore right and we have have a a huge
- 47:41potential of uh anti-semitic crime
- 47:45against uh uh the Jewish people and to
- 47:48be very Frank to be very Frank here the
- 47:53afd is the only protector and I'm saying
- 47:57that like very frankly the alternativa
- 48:01for dut land the afd is the only can
- 48:04only be the only protector of the Jewish
- 48:08people within here in Germany because
- 48:10the uni party all others
- 48:12parties they did exactly the opposite
- 48:15they let like millions of people in they
- 48:18let um um do let them do crimes on our
- 48:22streets like the crime rate are
- 48:25skyrocketing and so the Jewish people
- 48:28they leave our country when I when I
- 48:31talk to my Jewish friends who live in
- 48:34Germany and in Switzerland and in France
- 48:36and in Austria they were very afraid um
- 48:40um um after the Hamas attack on the 7th
- 48:44of October because uh they were they
- 48:47were they were um afraid that they um
- 48:50would likely to be attacked by um by
- 48:54Palestinians by Hamas supporters or by
- 48:57the antifa or by the leftish terrorists
- 49:00I don't know but they were very afraid
- 49:03very sensitive going on the streets and
- 49:06uh we we step up for this people even
- 49:10though the opposite in the mainstream
- 49:13media the opposite is
- 49:16claimed but this is this is this is not
- 49:19true it's just a is just a lie about our
- 49:24party yes I think that's that's what I
- 49:26wanted to just make it clear that uh
- 49:29that that afd is being massively
- 49:31misrepresented especially in the in the
- 49:33western media um so um yeah and you know
- 49:38and uh no I say I I very much support
- 49:41the state of Israel but I I mean I also
- 49:42believe that that we want to uh be uh
- 49:46Mindful and and have empathy for you
- 49:49know civilians uh who who are who are
- 49:51dying as well uh the you know when I've
- 49:54had conversations with prime minister
- 49:56and yaho and um and I think I think
- 49:59we're largely agreed I mean there's so
- 50:01there there's really there's three steps
- 50:03which is like you there's there's no
- 50:06choice but to um eliminate those who
- 50:09wish to eliminate the state of Israel um
- 50:13you know Moss essentially um but then uh
- 50:16and then the second step is to to fix
- 50:18the education so that uh you know people
- 50:21Palestinians are not trained from when
- 50:23they are children to to hate and want
- 50:27the death of Israel so you've got to fix
- 50:29the education system and and then the
- 50:31third thing which is also very important
- 50:33is to to make uh the pal Palestinian
- 50:36areas
- 50:37prosperous uh this is this third step is
- 50:40very important um and and this this this
- 50:42is maybe the hardest step uh which is uh
- 50:47but but you have to have that third step
- 50:48you have to uh bring Prosperity uh you
- 50:51have to help rebuild and you have to
- 50:52bring prosperity and I've had this
- 50:55conversation with with many people um in
- 50:57Israel I said that third step is is
- 51:00essential um true and and and they've
- 51:03asked me well when is this worked and
- 51:05I'm like well I'll give you a very big
- 51:06example um you know after World War I
- 51:10the the Treaty of asai was extremely
- 51:12unfair to Germany um and it it it
- 51:14created a massive amount of resentment
- 51:16and the the treat asai laid the
- 51:19foundation with its extreme reparations
- 51:22um for play the foundation called World
- 51:25War II um was without the Treaty of
- 51:27Versa Hitler would not have succeeded
- 51:29yes true and yes and and so and then but
- 51:33if you look at so so then the lesson was
- 51:34loarn so then after World War II um uh
- 51:38when Germany and Japan were defeated uh
- 51:42the US actually helped rebuild uh Japan
- 51:45and Germany providing financial support
- 51:48to rebuild Japan and Germany and now
- 51:50Japan and Germany are
- 51:52allies and and this is a very important
- 51:56and fundamental lesson of History yes
- 52:00you're absolutely right when um after
- 52:03the uh the Hamas attch um I um I just
- 52:09opened Google Maps to have a look okay
- 52:11uh what is the geographic situation
- 52:14there and when you see the Gaza
- 52:17stripe right it's a Gaza Strip which is
- 52:22just locked locked in um um with with no
- 52:27resources and not even uh water supplies
- 52:30so there can be cut off a water supply
- 52:33and uh and other supplies just like just
- 52:37just like
- 52:38instantaneously and uh this construction
- 52:42also like like just having a look like
- 52:45from uh from a geographic perspective
- 52:48you don't need to be very smart that
- 52:50this is this is not going to work out
- 52:53and um to make this area
- 52:57wealthy with uh with a specific measure
- 53:01being taking taken um it's a very vital
- 53:06First Step true yeah I think I think
- 53:09it's essential um and it requires uh
- 53:13overriding the natural human instinct
- 53:14for reciprocity which is that you know
- 53:17to basically an eye for an eye um you
- 53:19know but the problem with that an eye
- 53:21for an eye is that if you keep doing
- 53:23that an eye for an eye as the saying
- 53:24goes an ey for an eye makes everyone
- 53:26blind
- 53:27um that's why I think there's great
- 53:29wisdom to forgiveness yeah um you know
- 53:32you need both strength and forgiveness
- 53:35um but uh this this is the only way to
- 53:39stop the the endless cycle of
- 53:41violence it's a very nice uh nice
- 53:44sentence like um the eye forign eye
- 53:47makes uh makes everyone
- 53:50blind yeah exactly
- 53:53so um you so hopefully that that that
- 53:56can be the future um that's the best
- 53:58future I can think of I think any any
- 54:00there there's not some other future
- 54:02that's that that's that that
- 54:06works so um so how about uh may I ask
- 54:11you um um another question because uh we
- 54:15just um uh jumped topics uh what is your
- 54:19point of view so uh so um so um we
- 54:23stopped that um your Administration will
- 54:26end um the war in Ukraine very swiftly
- 54:31uh but um what is what is your
- 54:35perspective on the instruments and
- 54:37measures that could be taken so uh would
- 54:41you like to uh talk about it can you
- 54:43talk about it a little bit so what we
- 54:46could expect
- 54:48yeah well this to be clear I mean this
- 54:51this is up to president Trump you know
- 54:53um he is the the commander and chief um
- 54:58and uh so it's it's really uh you know
- 55:02you know up to him so um I I don't want
- 55:06I don't want to speak for him so but I
- 55:08but I just I do think that there's there
- 55:12there is a path here to a resolution and
- 55:15um but does require strong leadership uh
- 55:18in the United States uh in order to to
- 55:21get this done yeah um so yeah um
- 55:27but I'm confident that it can be done
- 55:30okay yeah yeah and I do think it's
- 55:32possible to have peace in the Middle
- 55:33East as well um these are these are
- 55:36possible so and I think that would be a
- 55:39great future for the world yeah so
- 55:42um
- 55:44yeah no great so it's absolutely Fair um
- 55:48so um so very very um fine with me um
- 55:56yeah yes well let's see are there any
- 55:58other topics we should discuss or if you
- 56:01have any questions for me or anything
- 56:04you because because uh because I want to
- 56:08ask and many people are interested in
- 56:10that so why do you believe um that uh
- 56:16flying to Mars and populating
- 56:19Mars is your top um priority uh uh topic
- 56:25is B X and when do you think uh when
- 56:30will you be ready to have a human
- 56:33expedition to to Mars if you if you
- 56:38allow if I may ask this question because
- 56:40everyone is interested so these are
- 56:42great projects
- 56:44right yeah um well I mean I I think at
- 56:49at a very high level I think sort of
- 56:52like what what set of actions um are
- 56:55going to to lead to the long-term uh
- 56:59prosperity of civilization um you know
- 57:03the sort of a growth in the scale and
- 57:06scope of Consciousness um you know the
- 57:09to to the best of our knowledge uh the
- 57:12there we we are the only place with with
- 57:15life or certainly the only place with
- 57:16life that that is intelligent in some
- 57:19form you a lot of people think oh there
- 57:21there must be aliens but I've not seen
- 57:23any evidence of aliens um and if the
- 57:27archaeological records are correct you
- 57:29know Earth is 4 and a half billion years
- 57:31old but civilization as measured from
- 57:34the first writing is only about 5,000
- 57:36years old which is about 1 millionth of
- 57:38Earth's existence so we're all of human
- 57:41civilization is a tiny flash in the van
- 57:44uh so far uh and so we have to say well
- 57:47what steps can we take to ensure the
- 57:50long-term survival of uh of of Life as
- 57:53We Know of Consciousness and if we are a
- 57:56multiplet species the probable lifespan
- 57:58of of Consciousness is dramatically
- 58:01greater than if we are a single planet
- 58:03species um this is not to say that I
- 58:06think that there's that Earth is about
- 58:08to die or anything like that but there
- 58:10is some risk um you know if there is if
- 58:13there is a global thermonuclear war or
- 58:15some extreme natural event like a giant
- 58:18you know meteor that hits the Earth uh
- 58:21that causes a mass extinction event I
- 58:23mean if we look at the fossil record
- 58:25there are at least five extreme mass
- 58:29extinction events uh that would have
- 58:31basically Extinction events that would
- 58:33have destroyed all of humanity
- 58:35completely um uh there's five of them at
- 58:38least um and so so I think if we we
- 58:44should take this opportunity today um
- 58:47because For the First Time In the four
- 58:49and a half billion year history of Earth
- 58:51it is possible to extend life and to to
- 58:53extend Consciousness beyond Earth
- 58:56and and that window of opportunity may
- 58:58be open for a short time or it may be
- 59:00open for a long time but just just in
- 59:02case uh it is it is open for a short
- 59:05time um we must take advantage of this
- 59:08window um and as quickly as possible
- 59:10become a multi-planet species um and
- 59:13ensure the long-term survival of
- 59:15civilization so what is your time frame
- 59:19um for
- 59:21a for a Expedition like for the first
- 59:24first human Expedition
- 59:29well yeah so to be clear the what
- 59:32matters is not so much the sort of flags
- 59:34and Footprints but the establishment of
- 59:37a self-sustaining City on Mars uh where
- 59:40the critical threshold is where the city
- 59:44can grow uh independent of Earth meaning
- 59:46if the resupply shifts from Earth stop
- 59:49coming from any reason um that the that
- 59:52the U the Mars colony does not die out
- 59:57um that that's if we are able to reach
- 59:59that point uh then uh we have we have
- 1:00:03passed one of the the very important and
- 1:00:06fundamental firy great filters um you
- 1:00:09know this there's this idea of like why
- 1:00:11don't we see evidence of of intelligence
- 1:00:14life well there that there this idea
- 1:00:18that there are these various great
- 1:00:19filters that that these civilizations
- 1:00:22never pass and one of those great
- 1:00:24filters is never never going Beyond home
- 1:00:26planet so if we can pass the F great
- 1:00:29filter of being a single planet species
- 1:00:32um and to be clear if we are a single
- 1:00:34kind of species it is just a matter of
- 1:00:36time before we are
- 1:00:38annihilated one can argue about how long
- 1:00:41it will take but eventually there will
- 1:00:43be something that happens that
- 1:00:45annihilates uh
- 1:00:47civilization um it might be very far in
- 1:00:50the future but we simply know from from
- 1:00:53the fossil record as I mentioned that
- 1:00:54there have been at least five Mass
- 1:00:56natural Extinction events and and I
- 1:00:58think there's there's added risk for
- 1:01:00humans that we could destroy ourselves
- 1:01:03um because the dinosaurs did not have uh
- 1:01:05thermonuclear weapons uh so they also
- 1:01:09didn't have spaceships um so so we've
- 1:01:12got uh we've got the risk of the of
- 1:01:16thermonuclear wall that could destroy
- 1:01:17everyone but we also have spaceships
- 1:01:19that can make life
- 1:01:21multiplanetary and um so the but with to
- 1:01:26answer your question more directly um I
- 1:01:28think we can send UNCW Starships to Mars
- 1:01:31in approximately two years so Earth and
- 1:01:34Mars are are to be Earth and Mars align
- 1:01:37for for planetary transfer roughly
- 1:01:41every every two years every 2 years ah
- 1:01:44two years yes so the Earth obviously
- 1:01:49takes a year to go around the Sun Mars
- 1:01:51takes approximately two years um and
- 1:01:54obviously one cannot go to Mars when it
- 1:01:56is on the other side of the Sun from
- 1:01:58Earth yeah U so we we have to wait for
- 1:02:01when Mars is in roughly the same
- 1:02:03quadrant of the uh solar system as Earth
- 1:02:07and that occurs uh uh for about six
- 1:02:10months every two years um and the
- 1:02:12optimal transfer window is typically
- 1:02:14just a few months so uh for a few months
- 1:02:18every two years or every 26 months uh
- 1:02:21you can you can transfer to M um so so
- 1:02:25we Curr there's currently a Ms trans
- 1:02:27transfer window which means that the
- 1:02:28next one is in two years from now um and
- 1:02:32then there'll be another one two years
- 1:02:34after that so for the one in two years I
- 1:02:36think we can send uncrewed Starships to
- 1:02:38l m to you to test that we The Landing
- 1:02:42systems are working properly
- 1:02:46um we want to make sure that we don't um
- 1:02:48you know add add more crators to Mars
- 1:02:52um yeah that would be the
- 1:02:57uh yeah the trater count increment must
- 1:03:01be zero um and so once we prove that it
- 1:03:06is safe to land then um if if like if
- 1:03:09all the shifts we send in about two
- 1:03:10years land safely uh and we think we
- 1:03:13understand the issues then in in
- 1:03:15principle that in about four years you
- 1:03:17could send the first uh people um and
- 1:03:20then it then the number of ships can
- 1:03:23expand exponentially from the from that
- 1:03:25point
- 1:03:26um I mean as as a rough order of
- 1:03:28magnitude my guess is that uh we need to
- 1:03:32transport about Mill about a million
- 1:03:34tons of cargo uh to Mars to make it s
- 1:03:38sustaining um you know when things are
- 1:03:40very uncertain I think if you can even
- 1:03:42guess to within one order of magnitude
- 1:03:44are doing quite well um so I suspect
- 1:03:46probably 100,000 tons is maybe not
- 1:03:48enough and hopefully we don't need 10
- 1:03:50million tons so therefore my guess is
- 1:03:53hopefully a million tons is enough to
- 1:03:55make Wass
- 1:03:56self-sustaining so maybe it's a million
- 1:03:58tons of cargo to S Mars and about you
- 1:04:01know a million people or more um so
- 1:04:05that's that's really what matters the
- 1:04:07the critical threshold from the
- 1:04:08standpoint of of a fundamental uh
- 1:04:11branching of the future of civilization
- 1:04:14uh is is is that that point of reaching
- 1:04:17on Mars where uh Mars can grow by itself
- 1:04:21even if uh resupply ships from Earth
- 1:04:23stop coming at that point the future of
- 1:04:26civilization branches and to a good
- 1:04:29Branch wow um and probable lifespan of
- 1:04:32civilization is dramatically greater yes
- 1:04:35and and my guess is that that there will
- 1:04:37be cases where the the the future
- 1:04:40martians actually come and help and
- 1:04:42rescue Earth and you know when there is
- 1:04:44an emergency um you know just as America
- 1:04:47has helped to to rescue the rest of the
- 1:04:50world in World War I and two and uh and
- 1:04:52the Cold War um and you know where would
- 1:04:55the world be if if not for America
- 1:04:57helping out in those three
- 1:05:00circumstances so so my I think that
- 1:05:03there's a good chance Mars helps save
- 1:05:04Earth at some point in the future maybe
- 1:05:06many times and then once we have uh a a
- 1:05:10civilization on Mars we can expand to
- 1:05:12the rest of the solar system uh to the
- 1:05:15uh you know the larger asteroids like
- 1:05:19SES maybe to the moons of Jupiter and
- 1:05:22Saturn and Beyond at least through the
- 1:05:24rest of the solar system and
- 1:05:26then you know and then we go from being
- 1:05:29hopefully a multiplet civilization to at
- 1:05:32some point a multi- stellar civilization
- 1:05:34and we're out there Among the Stars um
- 1:05:37and uh and then we can try to find out
- 1:05:39what is the nature of the universe uh
- 1:05:44you know Perhaps Perhaps when we go to
- 1:05:46and visit these far away star systems we
- 1:05:49will discover the remains of long dead
- 1:05:52alien
- 1:05:53civilizations I think that would be
- 1:05:55incredible interesting for sure it will
- 1:05:57greatly improve our understanding of the
- 1:05:59nature of the universe absolutely yes so
- 1:06:04and and and things like the time scales
- 1:06:05are just remarkable to think about um I
- 1:06:08mean physics uh suggests that the
- 1:06:10universe is about 13.8 billion years old
- 1:06:13um and um I mean even the elements in
- 1:06:16our body that aren't hydrogen
- 1:06:20um like any heavier elements had to be
- 1:06:23formed in um in the center of a star and
- 1:06:27so the you know the a large part of our
- 1:06:29body was actually formed in the in the
- 1:06:32center of a star and that star exploded
- 1:06:34and then the elements recondensed um
- 1:06:37ultimately billions of years later to um
- 1:06:41form Earth and
- 1:06:43humans so but so when you think about
- 1:06:46these time scales they were really
- 1:06:47remarkable to think about um yeah and
- 1:06:51but a civilization that lasted a million
- 1:06:53years so our civilization you know like
- 1:06:55so I think a good metric for saying what
- 1:06:58when does a civilization start I think
- 1:07:00is maybe writing you know that's if you
- 1:07:03can pick anything I'd pick that that's
- 1:07:05only 5,000 years ago
- 1:07:07so um so for a civilization like let's
- 1:07:10say last an incremental million years
- 1:07:13that that's an enormous amount of
- 1:07:15crime as compared to the length of human
- 1:07:18civilization but it's very small
- 1:07:20compared to the age of the Universe um
- 1:07:23you'd have to go three digits past the
- 1:07:25decimal point of 13.8 million years just
- 1:07:27to increment 1 million
- 1:07:29years so so I think we may find when we
- 1:07:33go out there and explore these star
- 1:07:34systems that that there were alien
- 1:07:36civilizations maybe they lasted for
- 1:07:37millions of years much longer than we've
- 1:07:40lasted um and and I any civilization
- 1:07:43that can last a million years is going
- 1:07:45to be in the Hall of Fame this is this
- 1:07:47an incredibly long time um so anyway and
- 1:07:52I think as you know for Humanity we
- 1:07:54don't want to be one of those lame One
- 1:07:56Planet civilizations like you know any
- 1:07:59self-respecting civilization should have
- 1:08:01at least two planets um so that's um
- 1:08:05that's what we should aim for Wow uh if
- 1:08:09you so so you just said that um um the
- 1:08:13uh the human body comprises of elements
- 1:08:16of an exploded and then uh re reordered
- 1:08:20um elements right so do you uh do do you
- 1:08:25think that this um coincidentally
- 1:08:28happened or do you believe in
- 1:08:30God I'm just curious because because
- 1:08:34because many people say okay this cannot
- 1:08:37have been a
- 1:08:39coincidence um that cannot right so uh
- 1:08:43so it
- 1:08:44just could have been um God so do you
- 1:08:47believe in
- 1:08:49god well I'm I'm open to believing in
- 1:08:53things proportionate to the information
- 1:08:56that I receive so um so I mean I I guess
- 1:09:00I have sort of a physics view of reality
- 1:09:03uh which is you know uh you know I guess
- 1:09:08I'm trying to I'm trying to understand
- 1:09:10the universe as much as possible to
- 1:09:11understand what's going on I I'm
- 1:09:14certainly open to the idea of God and if
- 1:09:16you say like well where did the universe
- 1:09:18come from U how is it created
- 1:09:22um I suppose there would be some entity
- 1:09:25that
- 1:09:27that you could call God I I that would I
- 1:09:30don't
- 1:09:31know but but there's that's a separate
- 1:09:33question from say is is there some
- 1:09:35entity that is observing our daily
- 1:09:37actions and rendering rendering a moral
- 1:09:40verdict on what we do from day to day um
- 1:09:43that doesn't appear to be the case
- 1:09:45because you know at least that there's
- 1:09:47some very evil things that happen in the
- 1:09:49world and
- 1:09:50if if there's someone observing us on a
- 1:09:52moral basis continually then it it does
- 1:09:55seem odd that uh some very evil things
- 1:09:58are allowed to occur um but but maybe
- 1:10:02that is the case I I don't know I I just
- 1:10:04I try to um form my opinions based on
- 1:10:06what I learn and as I learn more I
- 1:10:09aspire to change my views to match what
- 1:10:12I
- 1:10:14learned yeah same here to be honest um
- 1:10:19I'm still on a search and I I don't know
- 1:10:23what to believe um um so it's called
- 1:10:26maybe a
- 1:10:28agnostic and um yeah um but it's very
- 1:10:32interesting to see how how the world and
- 1:10:35also the universe
- 1:10:38evolved um and um yeah it was it was
- 1:10:41incredibly interesting to listen to your
- 1:10:44Visions um and um yeah it's it's quite a
- 1:10:48vision for for for every one of
- 1:10:51us yeah I would say that what I have is
- 1:10:54a philosophy of curiosity
- 1:10:56uh so I'm I'm curious about the nature
- 1:10:57of the universe and um I would say I
- 1:11:01subscrib to the Douglas Adams School of
- 1:11:03philosophy that was described in the
- 1:11:05hitag as gu of the Galaxy um you know um
- 1:11:09and um you in that book the Earth was
- 1:11:11sort of a giant computer that was trying
- 1:11:13to answer the question what is the
- 1:11:15meaning of life um and then it comes
- 1:11:18back with the 40 42 and and they're like
- 1:11:21what does 42 mean and it's well it's
- 1:11:24actually the the answer is the easy part
- 1:11:26and the question is the hard part um so
- 1:11:30uh you know that was actually quite uh
- 1:11:33an Illuminating thing for me because I
- 1:11:35had sort of an existential crisis when I
- 1:11:37was I 12 or 13 about the meaning of life
- 1:11:40and you know I read I read
- 1:11:42many the religious texts and the books
- 1:11:45on
- 1:11:46philosophy um you know I was like
- 1:11:48reading sh aronia and whatnot uh which
- 1:11:51is a bit depressing if you're to read as
- 1:11:52a child um but you
- 1:11:57ultimately why do they're they're a bit
- 1:12:01negative um so uh at times you know um
- 1:12:06it's it's actually it makes more sense
- 1:12:07reading it as an adult but uh but then I
- 1:12:10I read the H Guide to the Galaxy which
- 1:12:12is really a book in philosophy in the
- 1:12:14form of humor and um and I think it kind
- 1:12:16of really illust that that I thought was
- 1:12:20very insightful uh that that we should
- 1:12:24basically try to understand that nature
- 1:12:25of the universe and in fact understand
- 1:12:28even what questions to ask about the
- 1:12:29answer that is the universe and so that
- 1:12:32led me to conclude that we should aspire
- 1:12:35to uh expand the scope and scale of
- 1:12:38Consciousness so that we're better able
- 1:12:41to to know what questions to ask about
- 1:12:44the nature about the answer that is the
- 1:12:46Universe um so we we should just seem to
- 1:12:50you take the set of actions that lead to
- 1:12:52a greater understanding uh of the
- 1:12:56universe
- 1:12:58wonderful actually these are these are
- 1:13:01perfect um last words to be honest for
- 1:13:04our conversation because because because
