Episode description:
Have you ever felt the digital world tightening its grip, turning convenience into control? I sat down with Hrvoje Morić, the brilliant mind behind Geopolitics & Empire, for another compelling conversation in Puerto Vallarta. We delved deep into the rapid acceleration of the global control system, where digital IDs, AI, and cashless societies are reshaping our reality at light speed.
From the chilling implications of AI – not as sentient beings, but as powerful tools for surveillance and societal sifting – to the unsettling normalization of previously unimaginable concepts, we explored the relentless march toward a future often depicted in dystopian fiction. Is this merely progress, or are we witnessing the deliberate deconstruction of our freedoms and the very essence of what it means to be human?
We grappled with questions of truth and deception, the subtle creep of totalitarianism, and the critical importance of holding firm to our core beliefs in a world that constantly pressures us to compromise. As the lines between physical and digital blur, and the state's reach expands, what happens when your very existence relies on a system designed to monitor every move?
Amidst the "black pilling" realities, we also sought out the "white pills"—the sources of joy, resilience, and hope that sustain us. How do we navigate this accelerating landscape without losing our sovereignty, our sense of self, and our appreciation for the simple, profound truths of life?
