The Next Global Superpower Isn't Who You Think | Ian Bremmer | TED
Who runs the world? Political scientist Ian Bremmer argues it's not as simple as it used to be. With some eye-opening questions about the nature of leadership, he asks us to consider the impact of the evolving global order and our choices as participants in the future of democracy.

No matter who is in power; the world is losing morality, we are becoming polarised and greed is the new superpower.
Tell me a time in history when it wasn’t polarized and moral. It’s going to crap because we’re at the edge of the 4th turning.

YNWA bro
I thought algorithms technically falls under the nurture umbrella, I guess the google definition of nurture is more accurate? Always thought nurture included all non genetic influences...
@@akiyawynter2170of course you are correct, it IS still just a subset of the "nurture" (i.e., environment exposed to during lifespan basically) category. Algorithms are a notable type of variable to emphasize but regardless, they are obviously still 'nurture variables'
"Question the algorithm" is a very important thought as it forms your "bubble" and most of the information you will get access to. Therefore independent media is still important and even more today than before.
in canada our government has algorithmic control of the whole internet and the govt funds almost all media. One example of how this works is the speaker said "trucker riots in canada" The only violence committed was from a Trudeau supporter that smashed his vehicle into three peaceful trucker supporters. The truckers were 100% peaceful. Why do people think Canada is even a democracy with the government having algorithmic control? This speaker sides with the government funded disinformation.

"...The US increasingly didnt want to be the world's policeman, or the architect of global trade, or even the cheerleader for global values..." said without even a hint of irony! Amazing!
I mean, the US had been getting relatively more isolationist over Trump's 4 years and that populist Republican movement hasn't really died down since
Dude was being disingenuous during that section for sure
Amazing? US increasing didn't want? What a great way to cope with the fact that US increasingly lost its capability to police over others. Yet, US still polices over others, but only using soft power. Since she just doen't have the capacity to directly bomb everyone without a risk of self-destruction.
I waited for the "joke" part of that statement but it never came. Lol
isn't this true? Americas seem to think foreign wars aren't good, nor getting involved in other governments much.
Summary: Bremmer argues that we now live in a leaderless world, but he predicts that the future will consist of three overlapping orders a unipolar security order dominated by the US, a multipolar economic order with various influential players, and a digital order shaped by technology companies.
it has even more info like : the us was once exporter of democarcy little enough but now it has tools to destroy democracy !
He can't predict anything this one. He was arguing, vehemently, that Trump would not become president right until he became the president. Elon Musk told us that we should not take Bremmer seriously. He ekes out a living by pretending to accurately predict what he calls geo-political risk. He calls himslef a political scientist when there is nothing at all scientific about political 'science'.
Good Cliff Notes!
Time saver
The digital order is the most frightening one.
Yoo.. this is actually a really good topic to discuss in TedTalk. Bravo Ian!
As a Russian citizen who works for a government enterprise, I can say that I have never met a person under 50 years old who was angry or in any way raised the question of whether Russia is a superpower. It is obvious to any reasonable person that we are technologically 20 years behind the Western world, that our economy is based mainly on the sale of natural resources, the money from which is spent extremely inefficiently. Until these two fundamental problems are resolved, there is no point in talking about Russia's global status. Our country is now saved from falling completely behind leading countries only by the decline of Western civilization and the social degradation of its representatives. Those who can overcome their problems earlier will take leading positions in the coming decades.
I think the same way. Can't believe 1/2 of ours want to forfeit our progress and turn us into Russia, I'm US, BTW. Any hope of an uprising over there?
Даже не смотря на все проблемы которые есть у России, экономика России все равно одна из самых крупных в Мире, и Россия всё равно является одной из великих держав, в которую в феврале 2022 года приезжал Макрон и Шольц на поклон, чтобы вести переговоры с Путиным. Россия это одна из крупнейших экономик, которая смогла построить собственную систему банковских транзакций и теневой танкерный флот, так что санкции и отключение от Мировой банковской системы нам были ни по чём, а деньги граждан России теперь не могут утекать за границу и будут так или иначе вкладываться в нашу экономику, какой бы неэффективной она не была. Советская экономика тоже была неэффективной и убыточной, потому что в условиях запрета импортных товаров и тотальной государственной монополии не может быть иначе, но это гарантирует независимость от кого либо. И это постепенно будет строиться в России, хотя от частной собственности мы не собираемся отказываться. Россия вполне влиятельная региональная держава, но да, не глобальная
That's an intelligent comment and accurate.
I found your post about life in Russia to be interesting, but I have to assume that your complaint of "money being spent extremely inefficiently" is as Tony Soprano so elegantly puts it "A lady with a Virginia ham under her arm complaining that there's no bread" lol. Maybe that's a bad analogy, but I have to believe that when it comes to badly managing revenues that Russia fares better than most Western nations. The U.S. is the best example of insanity.
Rebounding from total State collapse isn't easy. I don't think America can do it when it happens to us. Russia has my respect, don't discount the progress you guys have managed to make.

There was one incident in Bangalore, India, where in a man from one community responded by mocking another persons religion as his was mocked by this other person, it all happened on Facebook, soon the posts were shared rapidly, one community took major offence and burnt down an entire police station because of all this, that is what social media can do
Social media is explicitly responsible for the plight of the Rohingya refugees… Bangladeshis use Facebook more than email, news outlet websites etc. the anti Rohingya sentiment spread like wildfire…

Informative presentation! Thanks
full of disinformation
In 1975, the movie "Rollerball" was released. It pictured a world where countries no longer dominated the world, but large multinational corporations were in charge. Instead, in the first quarter of the 21st century, Social Media companies are kings and digital tools, psychology, AI and algorithms are their weapons.

I used to be a great fan of the TED series. But, I grew up. I started to do my own research. TED is a mainstream platform that titillates the masses.
One of those gimmicks where he thinks he uses the latest buzzword "technology" and ends the talk. What are we, in the 90's? Tell him to use "AI" and the audience get scared.
Exactly. Also, using the buzz topic of Big Data is also like at least a decade old. I guess Biden's generation is still new to the issue, one could argue. It is also problematic that he mentions Trump, but leaves out the election interference of Twitter in 2020.
It's the masses that matter though
I believe TED Talks is sponsored by Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan Chase, so it has a very clear deep state bias. 30k chinese military men are crossing the US southern border over the past months to kill Americans. The war with Russia will be fought on US soil and Taiwan will fall. BRICS has taken care of the multipolar order As for the US, it's in total collapse. Digital order?? More like advanced technologies and it's the US that is fighting against Russia already. We know this. Tech and digital whatever is too politicized to make any impact.
Yep, same. Used to admire TED talk speakers, but they are just propagators of the will of the Globalist elites who seek to enslave the world. One TED talk speaker likened humanity as the aberrant species in an outbreak that needs to be "controlled". One Globalist acolyte put up the Georgia Guide stone in the 70s that purports to point to the direction that humanity needs to go. It said the ideal human population is 500 million. We are currently at 7.8 billion, off target by 7.3 billion. Hmmm, they just beta tested the engineered Corona virus.

Cops beat them way past the point they would have to. I'm talking about videos of them punching out people that were down and said they surrender to any charges. the truckers were peaceful. This speaker is full of misinformation. In Canada our government funds almost all our media and they have algorithmic control of the whole internet. This speaker just assumes all news is true. There were other factual errors as well but this is the one that is really awful because people believe trudeau's authoritarian media.

Powerful sharing. This leads us to go back and reflect on many things as youths...
Professors Martin Gilens (Princeton University) and Benjamin I. Page (Northwestern University) looked at more than 20 years worth of data to answer a simple question: Does the government represent the people? Their study took data from nearly 2000 public opinion surveys and compared it to the policies that ended up becoming law. In other words, they compared what the public wanted to what the government actually did. What they found was extremely unsettling: The opinions of 90% of Americans have essentially no impact at all.
Sir WE ARE STUCK IN NATURAL GAS CAN SONEONE SOMEHOW TAKE IT TO $ 5 WHERW WE MANY R STUCK FOR ALMOST NOW 5 MONTHS!...GOS WILL BLESS FOR THIS KIND HELP🙏🙏...NO ONE TILL NOW ABLE TO TAKE US OUT OF WOOD!!
Unsettling, but not surprising. Especially considering the impact of the supreme court deciding that corporations are people. The rich had already had way too much influence on politicians before that, and that only made it worse.
Wow!
Just look at the finance laws. Only the 10% of the richest citizens profit who already own 60% of everything. Volker Pispers (German stand-up comedian), "...for laws from which 90% of the people would profit, you will not be able to achieve a majority in parliament" :/
Reminds me of the "median voter theorem" Of course no one gets what they want. Oh, and also, politicans care more about running campaigns and getting donations from special interest groups than they do pleasing constituents that will vote for politicians in a predictable pattern for the most part anyways.

BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
The discussions and proposals surrounding BRICS nations' potential use of gold are intriguing. People choose to buy gold for various reasons, such as its historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Gold also offers diversification benefits to investment portfolios due to its low correlation with stocks and bonds.
I find gold investment reliable and aim to buy more to recover losses. Silver is also a good investment but differs from my collectibles. Clear investment goals and education are crucial. I work with Margaret Johnson Arndt a SEC-regulated financial consultant. Starting with modest investments, I accumulated nearly $799k over time.

It has already become difficult for us to accept the concept of democracy, considering that for some time now, rulers are not actually chosen for their administrative abilities, but for their influence. The fact is that "democracy" is, in practice, a choice exercised by the owners of financial power, enhanced with the rise of bigtechs.
"Democracy" is the name of the jewish dictatorship
Perhaps,but as it says, 'there is nothing new under the sun.' Is not domination of political processes by wealthy elites par for the course? Indeed the space occupied by 'democratic' concerns or 'democratic' exercises along the historical continuum is very, very small. Furthermore definition of the word 'democracy' is uncertain. One might as well admit that 'democracy' is in the eye of the beholder. I do not mean to suggest that autocracy or totalitarianism are preferable or worthy of admiration! I know quite a few emigrants from the PRC, who may go back to visit but choose to raise their families on this side of the pond. But government by its very nature, is oligarchic, setting a few in positions of authority over the many. Only among tightly-knit small communities should we expect to find some exceptions. Elections are usually considered a defining feature of political 'democracy'. Yet technically hese are usually dominated by political parties, which unless sponsored directly by the State are private organizations. The Word of God, the Bible, does not endorse any particular political system as good for all times and places. The authority which governments exercise is delegated not from 'the people', but from God, and they are accountable to Him for their actions. (Psalm 24:1) The earth is the Lord's, and all it contains; the world, and those who dwell in it.'
This was always the case and holds true with or without democracy, it still remains the best pick out of all the bad options.
BS
first thing to mention is they are not rulers. it's a small word but an important mind shift. subliminal programing.
Because each of us are now globally connected, we have to learn how to be friendly and positively engaging each other, if we do not learn this we're doomed.
The majority is still the majority in reality. However, when you look at a forum on the internet you would think that half the people in the world were gay, trans, communist, etc. That's because these fringe beliefs and orgainasations actually pay people to flood forums with comments and the internet with articles to make this appear to be the case.
@@rustymaximus9179 I have a feeling it's more because the intelligentsia is more familiar with tech and pushes for further integration. Intelligentsia from both the Conservative and Liberal sides of the political factions push for people to inform others of their views and to "Re-educate" those who do not agree. This can be seen in certain arguments made across the last decade; The "Me too" movement had Liberals telling people that women were being oppressed in the workplace, while true, the statement spiraled and people radicalized. The Conservatives in response pushed for "Re-educating" the liberals, stating that the statistics were overreported, that there wasn't actually a problem; and that the wage gap was a lie made up by Liberal lies to trick their fellow man. The Conservatives rather recently have push for an "ALM" approach, trying to limit abortions and "inform" BLM protestors that their actions were unjustified. The ALM was originally proposed in the spirit of saving those who have not had a chance to live yet and called for a sense of responsibility for ones own actions. Liberals in response decried these statements as against the constitution and an afront to human individuality and freedom of expression and choice, they then pushed for ALM protestors to be harassed and thus they were, conservatives in return had ALM protestors harass BLM and "Pro-Choice" protestors. Harassment from both liberal and conservatives has lead to radical micro-factions gaining power and taking action against their perceived Opposers; leading to shootings, rioting, burglary, assault and so much more. Hundreds of people have died at the words of a politician or impassioned speaker urging radical groups on. The January 6th Insurrection has lead to a lack of trust in the USA, due to the highly polarized and radicalized political environment, it also shows how a few words spoken by a politician, whether intentionally aimed at radicalizing a mob or not; can create situations that only compound in difficulty to settle. In conclusion, don't put people in boxes; or suddenly they'll start attuning to radical elements within that box and it'll be both yours and societies fault.
"Because each of us are now globally connected, we have to learn how to be friendly and positively engaging each other, ...": This will not happen, unless you remove the root cause of our current self destruction behaviour: overpopulation. This will only be addressed if we allow our genes (of everybody) to be changed artificially, which would make us no longer want to have a religion and no longer want to have as many offspring as possible.
thats right, learn to sit and fetch and roll over for your digital media masters.
@@mpmpmwell I believe every religion helps the people to positively interact with each other.... it's just the misuse of religion...other than that, I believe with the overpopulation problem
This point was very well presented in the film, "Don't look up". I don't want to spoil the film for those who haven't watched it already, but it does hit close the current reality.
I remember while getting my MBA over 45 years ago, the author of the book, "The Global Reach", lectured at our graduate school and said pretty much the same thing as Ian just said about multi-national corporations. Bought the book and poured over it at the time. What it and Ian stated has been progressing all this time, and quite possibly will come completely true some day. After being around as long as I have, I highly doubt I'll still be alive when it happens though.

45 years ago it didn't work. That's a good sign that it'll probably never work either.
China doesn't care about these corporations. US crony corporatism won't be able to protect them any longer.

Even before technology, multi-nationals were separate uncontrollable power. Tech has made that stronger.
Just about to write something very similar, the one's who control the digital world have the ultimate power...which wont be good for any country....period.
yes i thought he was going to talk about them leaving politics and establishing a new global corporation layer of control above any one county and in every county. (he did in a roundabout way, but kind of hyper focusing on one finger in the puppet glove.)
I’m not going to bother arguing against your point but I will say that if that was your takeaway from the talk then you completely missed the point.

I find the argument of the digital companies acting as a third power pole and, at the same time, a medium very convincing, but I think that their power is less guaranteed than what he suggests. Technology companies rely on infrastructure and investment that can be monopolised or meddled with by states. The Chinese internet, for example, or deep sea fiber optic cables that can be destroyed by the a navy.

Vast areas of the world still remain unconnected to the digital world; even among those who are, their digital habits aren't like an average American or Chinese or Korean & unlikely to be . The problems of the First World haven't yet become the problems of the rest of the world.
Brilliant Ian. Good to hear that you still have it.
I often wonder about the potential of future ai and fundamental cores of tech like operating systems. Could an operating system be generated on the fly which is itself insulated against outside meddling while retaining conventional network access? Could data storage become similarly decentralized and individually encoded? How much of how we currently do dependency based tech will remain in the future? And how complex will the security apparatus become for all forms of computing?
We have lost control of ideologies, what we think of each other, and our humanity due to technology. Everyone thinks they are on the outside looking in and it really astounds me how far off the average person is. This was a really good Ted talk.
Humanity never had control of anything regarding how we developed thorough history. All it ever was is every human doing what he was teached to do, and eventually trying to improve that thing but most time making it worse instead. Despite all the theoretical knowledge we developed since the dawn of science, no one in power ever took that knowledge seriously unless it helped him personally to become more powerful.
Due to a lack of information from cultural difference people were not as collectively polarized on a global scale. You are right, humans just doing human things. Starting with WW1 we saw how countries would pick sides, as countries developed more larger world powers would be more considerate of them and they would be forced to pick sides. I see it as a responsibility of this generation to step back and really be objective. People are too caught up in their own opinion to think of what is realistic and what matches their own ideals. I'm not too optimistic, but it does take a collective self-awareness that I do believe may be achievable with the next generation. Most people born today will probably never achieve it. I'm not saying I'm the objective person in the world, but I think any reasonable person can agree that we ourselves are to blame for most of our problems. Ian is absolutely right saying we are reaching a crossroad. @@radnomaden9438
That’s what people already said in the 1920‘s, the 1940‘s.
No one ever had "control of ideologies" - not sure what that's supposed to mean.
There is always leadership within any given ideology, but politics have created a divide. People try to make themselves agreeable to rally people using people's values and difference. Some people react out of hate and fear, some trying to be virtues and righteous. When at the end of the day the person asking for your support probably could care less what you think. It's in human nature, people are manipulative and with social media it's easier than ever before. @@factorfitness3713

“Technology is an alternative to politics” - Peter Thiel. The mistake is to believe that the center of power are nations rather than wealth. We live in an increasingly global plutocracy
Absolutely correct. The center of power and authority is Not Big Brother Government as predicted by George Orwell in 1984, but rather a Big Brother Oligarchy composed of special interests wealthy billionaire puppet masters who will be the authoritarian force who determine policy.
@@santiagomorales9129 You might be able to seize stuff for now, but effective innovation and progress requires some level of trust and cooperation. The entire foundation of your social structure will be built on volatility and abuse, and the "prize" at the top of the structure - all of the power - will be too big to resist for long. This of course coupled with the implicitly understood philosophy of "might makes right" means the amount of work required to maintain the position of power from infighting etc. is going to handicap your ability to grow and evolve - which itself was fundamentally limited when you used your hard power to steal from the best and brightest, leaving only you and your sycophants to do the hard work, that let's be honest, such a caveman-like brain probably won't be capable of performing.

Years later, I was struck by an illustration of this mind ending belief in authoritarianism when I watched the movie “downfall” as a soldier saluted Hitler knowing full well that in the next millisecond he would be shot in the forehead. That is us, man,
If Hungary ever decides to go back to the so-called 'democracy', we in Russia will be honored to have their president and Foreign Minister getting a job in Russia, heck the Hungarian FM can even get the Lavrov's position, because he will retire soon.

REALLY Important presentation and critically important question. We also need to understand - very clearly and very quickly - what social media and the use of devices, from toddlerhood up, is doing neuro-developmentally to our children. To their brain.. To their capacity to socially relate. To their attention span and tolerances for delayed gratification, to their capacity for emotional regulation and reading others emotions, for empathy. To their capacity for critical analysis, to their politics, and their perceptions of reality. To their mental health. All these aspects capacities and more are right now being impacted and what this means into the short, medium and longer term for our humanity is a sobering thought. But one we must face and spotlight - and fast.
I agree, it's starts with the children.
Oh, we're amusing ourselves to death. Primates staring at their devices to be amused by ever forthcoming entertainment of the lowest quality. Produced by the masses for the masses. Nothing to understand, just observe everyone around you. I'm as guilty as everybody else.
Amen
As we watch this on our cells, like and share it over our social media apps. The telegraph, radio, television… technology has ALWAYS changed the game. Adaptability is the key to survival, not standing your ground or fighting to stay in place. Technology is a freight train. Step aside and get left behind, stand still and get obliterated, or get moving down the tracks. Adaptability is your friend!
Pfff - Ian Bremmer knows nothing.
After hearing the initial statement claiming that the US had no intention of exerting control over the world, I began to doubt the validity of everything said thereafter.
Given your avatar, you are the exact product this video right here talked about. A son of algorithms rather than reason, because you choose to believe in whatever relative truth you want rather than the actual facts of the world. The US has distanced itself from exerting that kind of control for ages. And if you don't understand that then that only means that you're not aware of the world financial and political policies the US backed from. Allowing for more choice. Hence why the US right now is in the position where it has to regain friends in areas of the world which it had previously dominated 40 to 50 years ago. It is okay to not know about this, nor understand it. What isn't ok is to pretend you understand it and then throw whatever statement to support your own personal beliefs, beliefs that rely on ignorance. Then again, ignorance also means being unaware. Conclusion being if you are really this unaware, then you're never going to be aware of how unaware you are. Therefore, you are the exact product this video right here talked about. A son of algorithms.

Very interesting facts about this subject ✍️
To be a superpower you have to be a team - not politically fractured. To be a superpower all segments of the economy have to work to improve the country - not tear it down or cash out healthy companies for a payday putting millions out of work. Soldiers have to believe in what they are fighting for. Soldiers have to know their country has their back. Citizens must believe in their country and shed a tear now and again when national anthem is played. Personally, I feel the United States is struggling on all these requirements.
Not just the US but globally. As information spreads through the internet, people are becoming more knowledgeable whether it be the truth or misinformation. But they are getting non-the wiser.
The United States stands as proof then of how dysfunctional a country and its institutions can be for the good of the nation and its people and still maintain dominance. The US nearly always looks to be on the brink of a social collapse and yet its companys have and continue to be among the largest and most profitable in the world. I think there will need to be a rebalancing back to the norm because its social issues are out of control and destroying its citys, and so continues the boom and bust story of the united states soceity.

@@JTMarlin8 Lmao 🤣 Why does Islam attract more converts than any other religion? One major reason is that vIslam says: "refugees welcome" to those fleeing failing liberal social and religious institutions. Let me explain. Liberal secularists promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal. Nevertheless, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by liberal secular norms, people stop marrying, having children, and practising religion. Put differently, the liberal is fundamentally a hypocrite - despite what he or she might say, no liberal person is actually interested in being part of a liberal marriage, a liberal family, or a liberal religion. Matters are different when it comes to Islam. Muslims also promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal. Moreover, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by Islamic norms, it boosts marriage, birth rate, and religious practice. Put differently, the Muslim is actually interested in being part of a Muslim marriage, a Muslim family, and the Muslim religion. The current era is an era of refugees fleeing from liberalism. Liberal marriage, family, and religion have collapsed. As a result, refugees from liberal societies seek marriage partners abroad, and if they practice any type of religion , it is a non-liberal version whose centers are located abroad. Islam is the most obvious choice for them.
We need to scrutinize how well those technology companies align with global values and their ethical postures where those values are in conflict. We collectively need to increase our stakes in those companies and limit the stake held by any individual or company.

AI is simultaneously the greatest advancement of human potential and the greatest risk to human culture. We will absolutely not get it right the first time, and we will suffer the consequences.

Throughout history and particularly in modern times, the arms industry has had a profound impact on global dynamics. Technological advancements have been instrumental in augmenting this influence. The notion of freedom has often been perceived as an elusive concept for the majority of the population, as a select few individuals hold the power to shape societal norms and dictate the trajectory of our lives. It is possible that artificial intelligence (AI) could play a role in rehabilitating those who are deemed undesirable.😊
BRILLIANT AND URGENT
During the revolution of my native Argentina for independence from Spain, there was a phrase that became famous: "we, the people, need to know what this is about", and I think it is very applicable to the intent of digital companies regarding their methods and data nowadays.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😅
whether it might be new to people's majority, it's not for many, global digital leaders are well intervened - if not controlled (throughout different emergency episodes) - by government agencies... I get that the speaker is exacerbating most of the bad news at the end of the talk only to point into a political challenge, but the truth is these leaders have no domination interests other than simple ambition of business, they're not the ocult aliens conspiracy theories talk about, they were common nerd people, and they are still controlled, spied and helped by the government in a really tight ways. Anyway the 60% of the beginning of this talk is quite true, except for "USA exported democracies" that is almost outrageously FALSE.
This is true. However tech companies in many countries are controlled by those governments and as such he missed that important fun fact. I remember a line from a movie which resonates with me but obviously hasn't resonated with others. "It is not the people who should be scared of thier leaders but thier who should be scared of thier people". China is scared shirtless of its people which is why it monitors them and uses various tactics to keep them from making a fuss. Imagine a country of 1.4 to 1.8 billion people getting angry and tell me how any military can control that without killing itself?

When I heard "Our identities are determined by nature, nurture, and algorithm", spontaneously, I ask myself "who am I?. am I the product of the algorithm?".
Yes, this talk goes to the heart of the conversation we are having in society! Do we want to stay with the "companies are here to make profits only, not owe any social value and goodwill to society" as Milton Friedman told us along with his cohort of economists. His group won the debate back in the 60's-70's (which looking back didn't seem hard to do), so here we are? This goes for tech companies AND the multi-nationals? If so, then these companies will have to form their own security operations to protect themselves from each other as they proceed? Also, start forming their own laws. These are the things we, society, give them to help make them successful. If they owe us nothing, then do we owe them anything?
And yet you give them your money? Ya. NPCs like you deserves the yeetment.

As a computer scientist, I disagree to an extent. While technology has an overwhelming level of control over ideologies and politics, a technology company cannot function without electricity, headquarters, network, and servers. Now guess who has control over these resources, governments! I think the control of a tech company will have to align with the host country, which brings us back to the unipolar or bipolar world where a lot of compute resources were assigned to certain few countries from the start.
I agree. They also movie-size this subject.
Oligarchs control the politicians because the way politics works is politicians need money and businesses fund them. This is true for most democracies. Ultimately big businesses are almost controlling the world.
@@harshhingu1439this just brings us back to communism. This is literally what communists also think for better or worse.
In the US, large technology companies are beyond regulation. The TikTok hearing was pathetic. It was the same with Mark Zuckerberg. The government can't regulate a powerful source of "donations" that they're too stupid to comprehend. Sure, they can permanently cut us off from Chinese markets by encouraging China to develop their own technology and supply it to Russia (oops). Who didn't see that coming? Tech companies aren't in danger. They think circles around the government.
@@harshhingu1439 If I understand correctly, China doesn't really fit that model. The people vote on policy, so China is a democracy. They just have a different form than a 2-party liberal democracy. Massive media campaigns aren't necessary because of their meritocracy. Corruption is punished, so big business can't control the officials. (I'd say 'politicians', but it seems like an insult.) There's probably a whole lot I don't understand or have wrong, because I don't live there and can't speak Chinese yet. Still, I find their collectivism admirable. Many ways in which life is hopeless are specific to Western democracies.
We should not ask corporations whether they will 'do something about it'. That is the role of government.
I am reminded eerily of the Long Earth Trilogy that I'm reading right now. A really good series of books that look at what humans would do if we have access to infinite number of parallel earths whose exploration is headed by a tech giant with more power than most governments. I'm on book 2 right now, and it is depressing how even with infinite resources, humans still make war based on greed and outdated ideology. Also, the earth's government uses tech to control the long earth, which gives the tech company unparalelled access and power in the parallel earths, which is very similar to how governments are using big tech companies today. This series is very, very well written, but it puts the ugliness of human nature front and centre. Its written by Terry Pratchet and Stephen Baxter. Terry Pratchet had a way of critiquing modern society in the best ways possible and surprise me in his plots. I highly recommend all of his books.
