“The Club of Rome is an entity that has a very intertwined history with groups that have become infamous over the past several years, like the World Economic Forum, for example. Dennis Meadows essentially said something to the effect that, for the good of people, the planet, and the economy, it would be necessary either to reduce the world’s population so that people could have freedom and use resources as they want, or that a scientific dictatorship would have to be imposed on 8 billion or 7 billion people in order to ensure accurate allocation of resources, all of this by an educated, technocratic scientific elite.

There are some thinkers in Silicon Valley, like Eric Schmidt, for example, who wrote a book on AI with Henry Kissinger. They essentially say that there’s going to be a future brought to us by AI, where there will be a class of people that understand how AI works, who program and maintain it, and then there will be another class—really, they don’t say ‘underclass,’ but I would use that term—of people upon whom AI acts, who can’t understand what AI is doing to them. Eventually, because of their dependence on AI, this underclass will become cognitively diminished and mentally unable to make decisions for themselves without AI’s help.
There are many other indications, I would argue, such as Universal Basic Income (UBI), which, again, I don’t think is intended for the top oligarchs in Silicon Valley like Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, and Peter Thiel. Instead, UBI is likely intended for other people who aren’t necessarily in that economic tier. If these people succeed in their designs, I think it’s very likely we’ll see more of a two-tier society, without any sort of need for a middle class.”
“Eventually, because of their dependence on AI, this underclass will become cognitively diminished and mentally unable to make decisions for themselves without AI’s help.” I would argue it’s already happened but not with regards to cognitive diminishment, but rather in the loss of knowledge and understanding of history and the world. So what if people are not cognitively diminished if they don’t possess any knowledge about the real world? For people to be able to use their cognitive abilities, they need to possess knowledge about the world. But since we live in an Orwellian world, they are deprived of real knowledge about the world.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
A great example of this is the host of this video. I love his dumbfounded face when he listens to Whitney. All of us know many people with big cognitive abilities—simply put, smart people who are saying stupid things and believing in the world of the naive created by propaganda. To be able to understand and use your cognitive abilities, you need to understand not just some specific event or thing, but also the context in which it happened. Having cognitive abilities—so being smart—means nothing if you don’t understand the world; in other words, if you don’t understand the context of those things.

“All right, we’ve already, here in the opening minutes, put a lot of things on the table. I want to start now piecing them together into a worldview that someone who doesn’t have your depth of knowledge can begin to understand—how this all fits together.
