as they say on the market shows, worry some. but on a more fundamental level there are also danger signs. when young people are told by their leaders that work is a scam, and that stealing things from other people is a human right, how do you think your economy s going to look in 10 years? how about your civilization? the answer depends in part on how much idleness and theft you put up with. any society that cannot declare unequivalently and with confidence that stealing is wrong has no future. when you let the mob loot, you are doomed. this is why we used to shoot looters. not because we hated them, it wasn t personal. but in order to defend the foundation of all that we have which is private property secured by law. without that, we would be living in savagery and chaos. in chicago, they already are. this is what america s second largest city looked like this weekend. [screaming and yelling]. oh, my god! tucker: there s no point to that. nobody s benning. what you re se
granted and that there s conscious is just a normal thing that happens but to the best of my knowledge, we see no evidence of conscious life anywhere in the universe. so it might be there. you know, physics called sort of the firmy paradox when even rico firmy physicist asked where are the aliens. a lot of people ask me where are the aliens. i think if anyone would know about aliens on earth, it would probably be me. tucker: i would think. yeah, i m, you know, very familiar with space stuff. and i ve seen no evidence of aliens. so i would immediately, you know tweet it out and in a split second that would probably be top tweet of all times, found one guys, jackpot.
the open ai team. i mean i haven t talked to larry paige because he doesn t want to talk to me anymore for a few years. tucker: can i ask you, since you ve been around a lot of this, the thinking. so why would anyone not be a tthis esist the human center in technology. what s the thinking there? i think what he s trying to say is, if i were to guess, that all consciousness should be treated equally, and whether that is digital or biological. tucker: hmm. and you disagree. i disagree, yeah. especially if the digital consciousness or whatever you want to call it, digital intelligence, decides to curtail the biological intelligence. tucker: right. so you re just building your own slave master and why would you do that? doesn t sound great.
so we haven t yet evolved to deal with that because this is all fairly recent in the last 50 years or so before birth control. i m sort of worried that hey, civilization, if we don t make enough people to at least sustain our numbers perhaps increase a little bit then civilization s going to crumble. the old question of like, will civilization end with a bang or a whimper. it s currently trying to end with a whimper in adult diapers which is depressing as hell. tucker: the most depressing. sear sglufl war is less depressing. yeah, i d rather go out with a banging tucker: with your shoes on not with your diaper on. yeah, more exciting. tucker: whatever you think of elon musk, he s one of the rare figures in this country, maybe around the world, who sticks to the fundamentals. how do we keep the human race going, what s good for humanity and what s bad. those are the questions our leaders should be discussing
which i, you know, important caveat i think the last time the feds raised rates going into a recession was 1929. tucker: what happened then? yeah, the great depression. tucker: the concern, and i m telling you nothing you don t know but the concern is if the fed drops rates again then inflation accelerates and you can t do that in an election year. so inflation is going to happen no matter what. if you increase the money supply, you get inflation. tucker: right. so there s no there s not some magical cure for getting rid of inflation except increase the productivity, the output of goods and services. so say like what is money? you ve got these sort of it s basically numbers in a database that come up with some total.
