0:00So, it looks like something is
0:01happening, and Europe might be falling.
0:04>> There will come a day
0:06that we will see [music]
0:07far more radical extremist and
0:11terrorists coming out of Europe because
0:14of lack
0:15of
0:17decision-making
0:19trying to be politically correct
0:22or
0:23assuming that they know the Middle East
0:26and they know Islam and they know the
0:28others far better than we do.
0:30And I'm I'm sorry, but that's pure
0:33ignorance.
0:34>> So, what we're watching are protests
0:36breaking out all over Europe. More than
0:38half a million people protested in
0:40France. Their supermarkets were looted,
0:43luxury boutiques were smashed, public
0:45buildings set on fire. Thousands of
0:48people were arrested, and in Milan,
0:50rioters cleared out one of the most
0:51famous squares in Europe. Belgium and
0:53Portugal also had marches that same
0:55weekend, and a week before that, a
0:58400-year-old market in Paris also burned
1:00to the ground. So, the question is,
1:03what is happening in Europe? Now, the
1:06official story is that
1:08this is about underfunded schools, like
1:11students protesting things like leaky
1:13ceilings and missing teachers, but
1:16that narrative just does not make sense.
1:18Something much bigger is happening in
1:20Europe, and the question is, why?
1:23So, in today's video, I want to share
1:24with you some of the more interesting
1:26theories that I've come across, and
1:27these theories range from money-related
1:30problems all the way to some extremely
1:33dark ideas.
1:34For example, some people say that after
1:37decades and decades of welfare spending,
1:40Europe just ran out of money, and they
1:42tried to fix it with immigration,
1:44because the more people you have working
1:45jobs, the better off your economy tends
1:48to be.
1:49Okay.
1:50Some people say the immigration theory
1:51has failed. That the people that were
1:54imported were people who were never
1:56going to assimilate and all these
1:58immigration models have failed and we
2:00are watching them fail.
2:02Some people say that all of this is
2:03actually intentional because someone
2:06always profits from this chaos. Whether
2:09that's the military industrial complex
2:11or what people are calling the agenda
2:142030 end game.
2:16Now unfortunately, some of these
2:17theories hold up surprisingly well.
2:20I'm going to explain all of them and the
2:21reasons behind it and why this is so
2:24important even if you don't live in
2:25Europe because
2:27every one of these theories has parts of
2:30them
2:31that are already happening here in the
2:32US.
2:33We have the same immigration debate, the
2:35same debt problem, the same surveillance
2:37technology.
2:39And some people believe that what we're
2:40watching in Europe is actually just the
2:43beginning, right? It's the testing
2:45ground for what's coming next for the
2:47United States.
2:48>> If you think
2:51that the overlords at the point that
2:52they no longer need people because
2:55frankly AI plus humanoid robots does any
2:59job that humans do better than the
3:01humans can do it.
3:02If you think they're going to keep us
3:04around for sentimental reasons,
3:07you have not been paying attention.
3:09>> So I'm going to do my best to explain
3:10all of these ideas and what I personally
3:12think. So with that said, let's get into
3:14it.
3:15Hi, my name is Andrei Jikh. Hope you're
3:16doing well. Come for the finance and
3:18stay for whatever's happening in Europe.
3:20So let me start with a theory that's
3:22based purely on the math and numbers.
3:25This theory says that what's happening
3:26in Europe all comes down to capital,
3:29money. Because in order for an economy
3:31to grow, it needs more productive people
3:34working for the system than people
3:37taking from the system. So imagine like
3:40a restaurant where every retiree gets to
3:42eat for free
3:43and the bill gets paid by everyone
3:45that's eating there.
3:46Now that technically works when you have
3:4910 people for every retiree.
3:52But what happens when everyone stops
3:54having kids?
3:55In that case, the retirees get to live
3:57longer, and now imagine you've got only
3:59two people that are trying to cover the
4:01whole room of retirees expecting to be
4:04paid.
4:05That is basically the European welfare
4:07state. And France is the most extreme
4:09example of this. It spends roughly a
4:12third of its whole economy on social
4:14programs, way more than any other
4:17developed country.
4:18Pensions by themselves are about 14% of
4:21GDP, second only to Italy.
4:24And France hasn't balanced its budget
4:27since 1974.
4:30The last time France had a surplus was
4:32when Nixon just resigned.
4:34And today, its debt is around 3.6
4:37trillion euros, which is about 119% of
4:40its GDP.
4:42Interest payments are expected to cost
4:44around 65 billion euros this year.
4:48So, the question is,
4:49where do productive people come from to
4:51pay for all those retirees?
4:54Their math is really bad. See, you need
4:56about 2.1 kids per woman to keep a
4:59population stable. And the European
5:01Union is at only at 1.34. That's the
5:04lowest level on record. So, that is part
5:07of the problem. Then, what is the
5:09solution?
5:10Well, let's just pretend that you are
5:12one of the central planners, right?
5:14You're one of the people running Europe.
5:15How do you solve it?
5:17Immigration, right?
5:18If your own population is not having
5:20enough kids, then you import the workers
5:23from somewhere else.
5:25This isn't even a conspiracy theory.
5:26It's been talked about for a really long
5:28time. See, back in the year 2000, the
5:32United Nations published a report
5:34literally titled Replacement Migration.
5:37And that report calculated how many
5:40immigrants Europe would need to keep its
5:42workforce from getting smaller.
5:45Today, about one in four babies born in
5:48Europe has a mother who was born in
5:51another country.
5:52Now, there's also another element to
5:54this story, and it was pointed out by
5:56someone in a tweet that got over a
5:58million views. And what they said was a
6:01lot of the young Europeans who were born
6:03there spent the 2010s collecting useless
6:06degrees the economy doesn't actually pay
6:08for. And now the economy is
6:11transforming. AI is coming for
6:14entry-level jobs, and they have nothing
6:16to show for it. So, naturally, the
6:18government has to cut spending. It has
6:21to cut its obligations. And that is why
6:23their pensions got reduced, their
6:24ministries were cut, public spending was
6:26squeezed. The only category that wasn't
6:29was defense.
6:31So, if you're a 17-year-old in France
6:34sitting in a classroom, you're watching
6:36your government have no money for you,
6:38but have all the money in the world for
6:40weapons, right? And that is part of why
6:43this underfunded schools is part of the
6:45controversy. The spending is going
6:47somewhere else.
6:49But there's also a lot of other
6:51demographic and money-related problems.
6:54So, that is theory number one. Europe
6:56made monetary promises it can't afford
6:59to pay, its population has stopped
7:01replacing itself, and immigration was
7:04supposed to be how they tried to fix it.
7:06Here's theory number two. Now, before I
7:08explain that, I want to talk about the
7:09most important investment that I have
7:11ever made, which is my health. See, I
7:13don't like going to the doctor, but this
7:15year I injured my back, and I kept
7:16putting it off because I thought you
7:18have to find someone who's in the
7:19network, you have to call during
7:20business hours, you have to get put on
7:22hold, and then when you do finally get
7:24to talk to someone, they'll tell you the
7:25next opening is in 4 months. If there's
7:28something you've been meaning to get
7:29looked at, you know exactly what I'm
7:30talking about. And that's where today's
7:31sponsor, Zocdoc, comes in. Zocdoc is a
7:34free website where you search local
7:36in-network doctors, over 150,000
7:38providers across 200-plus specialties in
7:40all 50 states. You get real patient
7:42reviews and detailed profiles, so you're
7:44the one deciding who fits what you care
7:46about. And you see actual openings on
7:48the calendar, and you click to book
7:49instantly. I can vouch for this because
7:51I actually used it. I picked someone
7:53myself, and I was in the office the next
7:55day. I didn't have to deal with waiting
7:57on the phone, and then weeks to see a
7:58doctor. I walked out with a referral the
8:00next day after booking. It was a very
8:02smooth experience from booking to see
8:03the doctor all the way to the
8:05appointment. And once I was there, they
8:06saw me within 30 minutes. And most
8:08appointments happen within 24 to 72
8:09hours, and sometimes you can get in the
8:11same day. I know clicking a link seems
8:13small, but it's a big step toward taking
8:15your health as seriously as you take
8:16investing and everything else. I
8:18genuinely recommend Zocdoc to my friends
8:19and family. You can go to
8:20zocdoc.com/andre.
8:23The link's the first thing in the
8:24description down below as well. That is
8:25zocdoc.com/andre.
8:27Thank you to Zocdoc for sponsoring this
8:29video and for helping us take better
8:30care of our health. And now let's get
8:32back to it. Now, the second theory says
8:34that what's happening in Europe is the
8:36failure of immigration. And not only was
8:39it a failure, but it was predicted to be
8:41a failure by the foreign minister of the
8:44UAE back in 2017. Here's what he said.
8:48>> And and let me say this in English so
8:49you can understand what I'm saying.
8:52>> I have translation.
8:53>> No, I know you have translation, but I'm
8:55I just want to make sure you get it
8:56right.
9:01There will come a day
9:03that we will see far more radical
9:06extremist and terrorists coming out of
9:09Europe
9:10because of the lack
9:12of
9:14decision-making,
9:15trying to be politically correct,
9:18or
9:20assuming that they know the Middle East
9:22and they know Islam and they know the
9:24others far better than we do.
9:27And I'm I'm sorry, but that's pure
9:30ignorance.
9:32>> [applause]
9:33>> So, that was Abdullah bin Zayed. That
9:35was the foreign minister of the UAE and
9:38he reposted his message and he said, "I
9:40told you so."
9:42How was he able to predict this?
9:45This theory says it's because Europe
9:48wanted more to appear like they were
9:50doing the right thing by being tolerant
9:53of everyone rather than structuring
9:55their immigration policies through the
9:57concept of integration. And this gets
9:59very interesting, but integration is
10:02basically when you don't just live in
10:05that country. You also learn the
10:07language, you work, you follow the laws,
10:09and you know the the basic values of the
10:12place you sort of move to. Now, the
10:14thing about integration is that it
10:17doesn't happen because people want it
10:19to.
10:20It happens because they don't have a
10:21choice. And I know this from experience
10:24because when my parents came to the US,
10:26we did not know anyone. I didn't even
10:29speak English, but nobody around us
10:31really spoke Russian. So, I had to learn
10:33the language because I had no other way
10:34to make friends. It was the only way for
10:36me to understand my teachers and
10:38actually function.
10:39But if we moved somewhere else
10:42that is completely different,
10:44would I have learned the language as
10:46fast? Like for example, there's a
10:47neighborhood in New York called Brighton
10:49Beach where you could live your whole
10:51life speaking only Russian with Russian
10:53grocery stores and Russian restaurants
10:55and Russian everything.
10:57If we made a life there instead,
11:00would I have learned as quickly? I
11:01probably wouldn't have because I
11:03wouldn't have to.
11:05Right, that's what happened in a lot of
11:06these European cities. They started to
11:08form what are called enclaves, sometimes
11:10called parallel societies, where their
11:14old culture got stronger, which means
11:17the next generation grew up sort of
11:19stuck between the two worlds. And
11:22sometimes when these cultures live side
11:23by side, they can have a really hard
11:25time mixing. And that's why you get
11:27resentment, rivalry, and eventually
11:29conflict. Now, obviously the US has
11:33these enclaves as well. Places like
11:35Little Italy, Chinatown, Brighton Beach,
11:38but the reason that the US is able to
11:40have its immigrants integrate is because
11:43here in the US,
11:45you have to work to survive.
11:47And work forces you to integrate because
11:49you need the language to get the job and
11:52the job to get the money.
11:54But in a country with a generous welfare
11:57state, that pressure to integrate is
12:00much weaker.
12:01If you can move into an enclave, apply
12:03for welfare, then you might not need a
12:05job. You just get paid to live there.
12:08And some European countries started to
12:10realize that a little too late. That is
12:12why Denmark, for example, passed what
12:14was originally called a ghetto law,
12:16which required young kids in certain
12:18neighborhoods to attend daycare where
12:20they have to learn Danish language and
12:22values.
12:24Italy just introduced a cap on how many
12:26foreign students could be in a single
12:28classroom,
12:29which ironically is one of the things
12:31that the students in Milan were
12:33protesting about.
12:35And all of this, by the way, was
12:36predicted a long time ago.
12:38People like Karl Popper explained this
12:41problem back in 1945.
12:43He called it the paradox of tolerance,
12:46where if a society is tolerant without
12:50any limits,
12:51it eventually gets taken over by the
12:53people who are not tolerant at all.
12:56So, that is theory number two. Europe
12:58brought in people to save its economy,
13:00did not require them to integrate, and
13:03then couldn't bring itself to enforce
13:05its own rules because it cared more
13:07about appearing tolerant.
13:09And now it's suffering the consequences.
13:11Okay, so here's theory number three, and
13:13here's where it starts to get a lot
13:14darker.
13:15Theory three says that what's happening
13:17in Europe is not an accident, and that
13:19all of this is going according to plan.
13:21Why?
13:22Well, it's because if immigration was
13:24supposed to save Europe's economy, and
13:26the evidence clearly shows that it has
13:28not worked the way that it was promised.
13:30Then why does it keep on going? Why
13:32doesn't anyone just change the course?
13:35And this theory says it's because it is
13:37working perfectly for the people at the
13:39very top.
13:40They get the benefits and everyone else
13:43gets to pay the cost.
13:45How does that work? Who benefits from
13:46mass immigration?
13:48Well, first it is big business because
13:51immigrants tend to lead to lower overall
13:53incomes.
13:54And this is actually happened before.
13:57After World War II, Germany's economy
13:59was booming and it ran out of workers.
14:01So, in the 1950s, it started inviting
14:04what it called guest workers from Italy,
14:07Greece, and eventually Turkey. And the
14:09plan was they'd work for a couple years
14:12and then go home. But a lot of them
14:13stayed. They brought their families. And
14:15today Germany has one of the biggest
14:17Turkish communities in the world.
14:19Then fast forward to 2015 and Germany
14:22took in roughly a million asylum
14:25seekers.
14:26What was weird is that one of the
14:28loudest voices cheering for this
14:30was the CEO of Mercedes-Benz who said
14:33refugees could fuel Germany's next
14:36economic miracle.
14:38Why would a car company care about
14:40immigration?
14:42Well, it's because more workers means
14:44cheaper labor, aka cheaper input costs.
14:47More people competing for the same jobs
14:50keeps wages down. And who pays for that,
14:52right? It's not the CEO. It is the
14:55factory worker, the delivery driver, the
14:57cleaner, right? The people competing for
14:59all of these jobs.
15:01Now, the second player that benefits
15:02from this is the politician. And that's
15:05because new citizens become new voters
15:09and voters allow them to stay in power.
15:11In France, polls have shown Muslim
15:14voters backing the far-left party by
15:17huge margins. So, it's no surprise that
15:20the same party is also supporting these
15:22protests.
15:24Now, the third beneficiary is the
15:26ideologues. Right, there's a concept
15:28called luxury belief, which is when you
15:31believe something that looks and sounds
15:34good, but costs you nothing because
15:37someone else pays for it.
15:39A politician in Paris can champion for
15:42open borders, and it costs them nothing.
15:45They don't face any of the consequences
15:47because they are not living in the
15:49neighborhoods that change.
15:51They don't send their kids to the
15:52overcrowded schools. They are not
15:54competing for those low-wage jobs. So,
15:57the people who end up paying the luxury
15:59belief
16:01are the working-class people.
16:02Now, the fourth beneficiary to this is
16:05the central planners because chaos is
16:08always useful.
16:09Every riot is a reason to expand their
16:13powers and to add surveillance and to
16:15eventually restrict what people can say.
16:18And once those powers exist,
16:20it is really hard to make them go away.
16:23And we have seen this all before.
16:25This is the K-shaped economy. The
16:27benefits flow up to the top, and the
16:29costs flow down to everybody else. So,
16:33you privatize the gains and socialize
16:35the losses. It's cheap labor for the
16:38owners, but wage pressure for the
16:41workers. There's moral credit for the
16:43elites, but the consequences for the
16:45neighborhoods. There's votes for the
16:47political class and the parties, right?
16:49But, it's the crime for the people who
16:50live there. So, it's heads I win, tails
16:52you lose kind of a thing.
16:54So, that is theory number three.
16:56It's not necessarily that Europe's
16:58leaders are too stupid to see the
17:00problem.
17:01It's that the people with the power to
17:03fix this don't have any incentive to fix
17:06it because they are the ones who benefit
17:09and profit from it. The fourth theory
17:11says that what we're watching is a
17:13late-stage capitalism. Now, this is
17:15going to be one of the most complex
17:17theories here, but it ties a lot of
17:20incentives together. Because all of
17:22these systems of control that have
17:24perfected extraction are now in their
17:27perfect form. For example, we have
17:29perfected the algorithms to extract the
17:32maximum attention from you, the viewer.
17:35And the corporations have perfected the
17:37extraction of your health, your time,
17:39your money, your attention, everything.
17:42Now, credit to Simon Dixon where he
17:44describes this power structure of the
17:46world, which is the financial industrial
17:48complex, the military industrial
17:50complex, and the technological
17:52industrial complex. These are the three
17:54biggest groups of power that all make
17:57money in different ways.
17:59And here's what he said about Europe.
18:02His argument is that for decades, the
18:05military industrial complex made huge
18:07profits from the forever war model in
18:10the Middle East. And that model is
18:12coming to an end because soon we'll have
18:14AI and robots. So, the question is,
18:17where does the money go next?
18:19For now, it is unwinding into the
18:22military industrial complex. See, in
18:242025, NATO countries agreed to increase
18:28defense spending from 2% of GDP to 5% of
18:32GDP by 2035.
18:35How are they going to pay for all that?
18:37It's the same concept. You privatize the
18:40gains and you socialize the losses to
18:42the public.
18:43France, for example, is cutting pensions
18:45and schools and all these different
18:47government aspects. Every category gets
18:49squeezed except defense spending. And
18:52because of that, the real winners are
18:55companies like Rheinmetall, which is
18:57Germany's biggest weapons manufacturer.
18:59Its stock was trading at around $100 the
19:01day before Russia invaded Ukraine, and
19:03then 3 years later, it was around
19:04$1,000.
19:0610x return, right?
19:08Simon Dixon believes that Europe is one
19:10of the testing grounds for a privatized
19:13police and surveillance state. And
19:15here's an example, by the way. Before
19:17the 2024 Olympics,
19:19France was the first country in the
19:21European Union to legalize AI-powered
19:24video surveillance. There's cameras that
19:27analyze people's movements and
19:29suspicious behavior.
19:30It was supposed to be temporary, just
19:32for the Olympics,
19:34but then it got extended, and now the
19:36French government wants to keep it going
19:38until 2030.
19:40Remember that third theory, every crisis
19:42is a reason to expand surveillance and
19:45centralize power. And Simon's warning is
19:47that whatever gets tested in Europe
19:49eventually comes home to the United
19:51States.
19:52And where it gets really dark
19:54is Simon argues that the civil unrest
19:58itself was created on purpose. You might
20:02have even seen videos floating around on
20:03Twitter where it looks suspiciously
20:07manufactured. Now, we know this because
20:10it has happened before.
20:12There was something called Operation
20:13Gladio.
20:15During the Cold War, NATO secretly set
20:18up what were called stay-behind armies
20:19across Western Europe. And the idea was
20:22that if the Soviet Union invaded, then
20:25these secret groups would fight back
20:28from behind enemy lines.
20:29The Italian Prime Minister publicly
20:31admitted it in 1990, and the European
20:34Parliament condemned it that same year.
20:37But in Italy, investigations connected
20:40some people in that world to far-right
20:43terrorists
20:44that were behind the bombings that were
20:46blamed on the left. And this was during
20:48a period known as the strategy of
20:50tension. The idea was that if people
20:53were scared enough, they would beg their
20:55governments for more security and more
20:58control.
20:59And Simon's claim is that those networks
21:01never really came home.
21:03Now, this is, of course, speculation.
21:05There's no evidence for this publicly,
21:06but history shows that Western
21:09governments have used manufactured chaos
21:12before.
21:13And why they'd want chaos
21:15is because, once again, we're in the
21:17middle of this transition from a world
21:20run by the United States
21:22to a world that's run by different
21:25regional powers.
21:27And transitions like that require huge
21:30repricing events.
21:32Basically, a crash.
21:33When asset prices crash, the average
21:36person has to sell what they own at a
21:38loss.
21:39They lose their stock portfolios, they
21:41lose their savings, and who buys them
21:44are the people at the top.
21:46Sam T. Dixon calls this pricing the
21:47average person out of ownership and
21:50moving them into a lease-based economy
21:53where you rent everything and you own
21:56nothing. While all the assets
21:58concentrate into fewer and fewer hands.
22:01And according to him, the street of
22:02removes and the civil unrest are central
22:05to how all of this happens.
22:08And while it's happening, the FIC, the
22:10MIC, and the TIC, those three power
22:12structures,
22:13they are making money from extracting
22:15the real wealth and resources. So, that
22:18is theory number four. It's pretty dark.
22:21Basically, it's a controlled for-profit
22:23demolition as a business model because
22:26war makes money for the weapons makers,
22:28financed by the banks,
22:31and fear justifies the surveillance for
22:33the tech companies, and the crash
22:36transfers the assets to the big players
22:38and the losses to the governments, aka
22:41you, the taxpayer. The fifth theory is
22:44what people are calling the Agenda 2030
22:46end game. Now, I made a whole video
22:47about this you can watch, but there was
22:49an evolutionary biologist, Bret
22:51Weinstein, who recently explained where
22:52he thinks all of this is going.
22:55>> We are useless eaters from the point of
22:57view
22:58of our overlords.
22:59>> Mhm.
23:01>> If we are necessary because they can't
23:03get their
23:04plumbing to work,
23:06they have a reason to keep us around.
23:08At the moment, the immigration crisis
23:11across the West looks like the
23:13replacement of a population of people
23:16who are attached to the idea that they
23:18have things like rights
23:20with a bunch of people who don't have a
23:21long history of having
23:24rights.
23:25They're going, if they have not already,
23:28they are going to settle on the idea
23:30that
23:32we are unnecessary and that they are
23:34morally justified in taking care of the
23:36issue somehow. I just think that that's
23:37where this goes inevitably.
23:39>> So, his argument is that right now, the
23:42people at the very top need us for about
23:44the next 5 minutes, he says.
23:46They need people to drive their trucks,
23:49to grow their food, to fix their
23:50plumbing.
23:52But what happens when AI and humanoid
23:54robots can do every one of those jobs
23:57better and cheaper? Once ordinary people
23:59will not be needed, there is nothing
24:02stopping the people at the top from
24:04deciding they would be better off
24:06without us.
24:07>> Yeah, pigs to the slaughter, exactly.
24:09And
24:10hey Gen Z,
24:13that's your future if you're not very
24:15careful. It's The time to fight is now
24:17because you won't be able to fight if
24:19this stuff is deployed at scale and you
24:21can be debanked in an instant or you can
24:23have somebody, you know, if you become a
24:25problem, somebody can create the
24:27evidence that you did something you
24:28didn't do and lock you up. That's the
24:30end of our ability to fight.
24:32>> Now, there's another story that makes
24:34this, I think, feel less crazy, which is
24:35that there was actually a writer named
24:37Douglas Rushkoff who studies technology
24:40and the future. And he was apparently
24:42paid once to give a talk
24:45to a small group of billionaires. And he
24:46thought it'd be about investing.
24:48But instead, they spent the whole time
24:50asking him about their bunkers.
24:53>> And where I I was supposed to do a talk
24:55and it turned out to be just five
24:56billionaires who wanted advice on their
24:58on their doomsday bunkers. It became
25:01this conversation about, you know, how
25:02do I maintain control of my Navy SEAL
25:05security force after my Bitcoin's not
25:07worth anything? You know, and so it was
25:09this this nuttiness. And And the
25:11interesting thing is that I use that
25:14story as a springboard to look at this
25:17kind of tech bro billionaire Silicon
25:20Valley mindset.
25:21>> So, that is theory number five. Agenda
25:232030 is the public version. That's kind
25:25of the nice sounding one for the people
25:27that aren't paying too close of
25:28attention, but the real version of it is
25:31much more intentional.
25:33Now, if you made it this far and you did
25:35not fall asleep, congratulations. Here's
25:37my personal thoughts on all of these
25:39theories.
25:40I think there is truth in all of them.
25:43A lot of people hear this kind of stuff
25:44and they think it's crazy, right? It's
25:46fear-mongering.
25:47But I don't think it is.
25:49When you look around the world, you can
25:50already see the culling of the herd, so
25:52to speak. It's in progress. We have food
25:56that makes us sicker, because sick
25:58people are profitable. That leads to
26:00forever customers for the pharmaceutical
26:01industry. And forever customers are very
26:04profitable. We have an education system
26:06that's failing us. There's division on
26:09every front imaginable, fueled by the
26:12algorithms which curate our perfect
26:15little worlds.
26:16Civil war is also the most effortless
26:18way to make money
26:20while the herd culls itself. Right?
26:23Because it keeps us fighting each other
26:25instead of seeing the real problem.
26:28We have things like financial
26:29repression. We have inflation eating
26:32away at everyone's savings while the
26:34people who own the real resources get
26:37richer.
26:38That leads to less people being born,
26:41naturally. Right? It's This is all
26:42provable. This is not a conspiracy
26:44theory.
26:45There is, in fact, a shadowy room full
26:48of elites where this gets decided. It's
26:50the World Economic Forum in Davos,
26:51Switzerland.
26:52But even if it's not where this gets
26:54decided, then all of this is basically
26:57late-stage capitalism, driven all by
27:00incentive. It's like Charlie Munger once
27:03said, "Show me the incentive, and I'll
27:05show you the outcome."
27:07The incentive is profit. It's an all-out
27:10Game of Thrones.
27:12And I know that sounds really
27:13depressing, and here's how I try to stay
27:15sane through all of it.
27:17At the end of the day, I think it's
27:19almost human nature doing what it does
27:22best. Like this goes deep into the realm
27:24of psychology, but it's inherently
27:27within us to systematically enslave and
27:31subordinate ourselves. So, it stands to
27:33reason that at the end of this game of
27:36capitalism and extraction,
27:38it inevitably leads us to a place where
27:41we have a handful of winners that
27:43control most of the world's resources,
27:44and the rest of the world, which never
27:46will.
27:47At its basic form,
27:49this is a game of incentives played out
27:52to its most logical conclusion.
27:54But the good news is I think you're a
27:55player, too, right? And almost
27:57everything they profit from is something
28:00that I think you can take back.
28:02If the incentive in healthcare is to
28:06profit from your health,
28:08then know that, and own your health.
28:10Cook your own food. Move your body. Read
28:13the labels. None of them can sell you a
28:15lifetime of prescriptions if you don't
28:17need them.
28:18They profit from a broken education
28:20system, so educate yourself. Don't let
28:22them indoctrinate you and your family.
28:24Everything you need to learn is free.
28:26You just watched a 30-minute video about
28:27all of this for free. They profit from
28:30your attention, right? The algorithm
28:32wants us scared, angry, and divided. And
28:36every time you notice that, and you
28:37maybe close the app, you take back some
28:40of that control.
28:41They profit from division, so don't fall
28:43into the basic narratives. Don't spend
28:46your life and energy for their profit.
28:49If the plan is
28:51you'll own nothing and be happy
28:53then the most rebellious thing I can do
28:55is own something. Right, like the assets
28:57that can't be printed or inflated away
29:00or frozen.
29:01So don't forget, you're a player in this
29:02game.
29:03You just have to know that there is a
29:05game and you have to know how to play
29:06it.
29:07If you like to see more of my thoughts
29:08and how I'm personally investing and
29:09preparing for all of this, you can find
29:11all those videos in the member section
29:12where I post a day early.
29:14It helps me make more videos like this
29:15one and take on fewer sponsors. So thank
29:17you so much for watching. I'd love to
29:18see you next time and I'd like to know
29:20which of these theories you think is the
29:22closest to the truth. As always, take
29:24care of yourself, own what you can, and
29:26I'll see you next time. Take care.
