Top White House Advisor: The US Empire Is DYING And Socialism Is Coming Next! | David Friedberg

It's inevitable that socialism will happen in America. But I don't want to lose my agency, my liberty, my freedom. Do you think the US as an empire is in decline? The answer is yes. And I was appointed to President Trump's Council of Advisors in Science and Technology. And one of the great lies is that the government will save you. But the more government has tried to create services for people and help bring them up the ladder, the more expensive those things get. Sixty-three percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. People can't afford to pay their bills, and it needs to be fixed. What will ultimately happen? So all my politician friends are about to chop my head off about this, but David Freeberg, what is the most important subject of our time? AI. We're entering this golden age and people don't realize we're in it. And I don't buy into the narrative that Dario, Elon, and Sam end up having all the value in AI. In the next ten years there will be a billionaire that will emerge that has zero net worth today, downloaded open source AI, and built a company that made them a billionaire. And they're gonna be someone that's gonna come from nowhere. And there's gonna be a lot of these sorts of stories. But this narrative that AI will take

Jobs away. You don't believe it. So from data, from evidence, over all periods of technological revolution like this, we've never seen jobs decline. And the average person doesn't see it, but oh my god, the stuff we can do is unbelievable. Right now we have a billion people in the world that are starving, we have hundreds of millions dying from terrible disease. These are the sorts of things that are gonna get resolved because AI unleashes this capacity for human adjustment. advancement and it's transforming every aspect of biology and our understanding of life sciences.
