    one thing that people still doesn’t understand and know is that china has been lying about its GDP for decades. so youll see 18.6 trillion dollars, but its been estimated that china’s REAL gdp is around 5 trillion dollars only…about the same as japan’s. yes authoritarian countries tin to lie about its gdp to attract people like us to invest there.

    The clash of technological superpowers to assert dominance and their agenda through government is already here but it’s not new, take for example fossil fuel companies like exxon, they knew about climate change and how their extraction of fossil fuels are causing it, yet they bribed scientists and politicians to skewer the facts. It’s not just technology we should be critical of but also media and education, they too are heavily influenced by powerful people and special interest groups. We should learn to think critically

    Good speech. One thing he left out is the relationship between different forms of government and tech companies. It’s only in a free market democracy that tech companies have been practically left to run the internet in a way that suits their interest and revenue. Appropriate laws need to be made to protect people from being harmed and damaged especially children. In an authoritarian regime, that’s a different picture. Internet technology has been controlled and used by government as a new and powerful tool to control and oppress people. In China it has practically helped the communist government build a digital prison for all its people via a so-called social credit system. The biggest boss of all tech companies in China is the head of the ruling party because there’s no law in that country. Whatever the ruling party thinks suits their interest and desire to stay in power is the law. It’s amazing some people here can’t grasp this simple fact.
    Some people here believe in sharing source code on internet, which has been continuously exploited by tech companies and individuals outside of America. The running joke is whenever there’s new source code open on internet there’s a new innovative tech/app in China. Some people lack honesty and conscience. They don’t have any problem stealing other people’s work and claim it as their own.

    “Presumption that as they got wealthier and more powerful they would become Americans. Turns out, they’re still Chinese.” This foundation of Ian’s talk is so fundamentally inaccurate and flawed, nothing built on it can have any credibility. Sorry Ian, I thought you were smart. But as a progressive American with some knowledge of Sino/American history and politics, I’m astounded by your ignorance. No one thought Chinese would “become Americans.” Liberalization, to some degree, sure. Fine, put aside. The really moronic statement is “they’re still Chinese”. Because it makes no distinction between the Chinese people and their oppressive totalitarian single party involuntary system of government. By saying this, you demote and discredit the people of China. Especially those who have been imprisoned, tortured, or shot and killed by their government for protesting for any improvement in democratic freedoms. You, sir, have debased and discredited yourself. You appear to be drinking the CCP’s “coolaid” (propaganda). Shame on you!

    When talking about the power of technology and tech companies, keep in mind the basic roots of their power are democratic values (free speech) and capitalism (free markets). So the extent of a digital order will ultimately be determined by the rules of the game. But the elephant in the room is not just the bad actors that use technology to promote their distorted views, but also the gullible people who follow their banter. Oh, by the way, excellent presentation.

  39. Ryan Kenniff

    June 15, 2023 at 6:42 pm

    I became familiar with Mr. Bremmer via his “J-Curve” model; thank you sir for your efforts and open dialogues. I’m not sure that the technology titans of the VOD are subject to the same sort of checks and balances therein this older nation-state model, as those parameters would be natural within the balancing mechanisms of governmental power and citizen control. But, most (if not all) keystone prodigies of algorithms and AI do still seem beholden to the capitalist mechanisms of competition and profit, per their companies’ founding principles. Let us hope that the faux capitalism promoted under modern command-and-control economies is not too alluring, characterized by manipulated currencies and tailored results/data. Only one mouthpiece is allowed to have the correct answers, no matter whether any evident truth, ethic, or civic value is present therein. It is still so that the _Invisible Hand_ would keep the capitalist titans innovating and improving, while the control alternative likely offers a slow stagnation, succumbing to willful ignorance, to be buoyed by protectionist and handout profits as rewards. In other words, the obligatory and complicit catering to a government’s preferred policies, to keep the status quo intact, is so strong when total control is employed for governance, as to be of great danger for our collective global future, in terms of peace and prosperity.

    The digital divide is something else to consider in this. Almost half of the world, 4 billion people, don’t have any internet access and are being left behind. That’s a big motivator for us as we scale to better provide fast, dedicated, and cost efficient internet.

    well, in order to keep creating wealth for themselves they need to have a constant stream… by destroying their own populations through whatever means…. means they don’t have power. Why would that change? If I knew I needed roughly 5 billion people on this planet to maintain what I think I need… why would I do things that reduce that to less? If I owned 100 slaves and needed 100 slaves to get what I need done. Why would I create, or change things in such a way that reduces my slaves to 10? If I were a king…. why would I kill everyone I ruled except a few…? what power do I have then? Are we going to believe that there are people that actually think if they are the only ones left alive… they have true power? hahahahah This world is ridiculous and no matter how many times its proven, nothing changes.

    The United States has always exported disinformation and fake news through mainstream media, overthrowing governments, supporting dictatorships and controlling third world economies.

    Today, with the rise of social media, control of big tech companies became more important than control of the media.

    It was US and European big business that off shored work to China by throwing their own home workers on the scrap heap for cheap unregulated labour with no workers rights or human rights coupled with no pollution controls. China was a low tech agricultural economy for a long time until Western big business set up shop and moved the Worlds Industrial supply chain to the far East. So, while Western media were telling us all how nasty and inhuman China was/is, our very own Western Governments and big business were happy colluding with and exchanging tech, industrial supply chains and manufacturing with a totallitarian regime that murdered its own people. But you know, it was nothing personal, just business??!! The West has created its own internal monster through Corporate greed, and socio economic chaos back home by throwing home employees on the scrap heap with low paid service sector work as the alternative. This was never going to end well, big business has food production, medicine, private finance ownership of public and government infrastructure coupled with no real responsibility. Our governments nothing more than powerless flimsy puppets to the Western powerful business elite. They also have the power to lobby governments to make life easier for them and change laws and trade barriers to suit themselves, this explains the Wests ever declining quality of life for its citizens. Blaming China and Russia does not explain anything if you dig enough, and you do not need to dig far. Big business and greed has allowed the West to screw itself over in the end. The USA is still a great country, and we need a strong US to counterbalance China, Russia and the other emerging BRICS nations. But the US has allowed obscene wealth and greed to over rule its own people and dignity, the US needs to reign in some of these unelected super powerful elites and remodel itself internally to support its own people through mixed employment with manufacturing and industrial supply chains again. Moving everything to the Far East was an incredibly dumb thing to do, do you think the people of a culture as intelligent as the Chinese are going to continue as the Wests sweat shop forever??!! China was clever when it let the West use its labour force, but they never allowed Western big business to dominate or control them in any manner. China is now learning to project power like the US outwith its own territory.

    Basically agree except on the 1st part: US still has military supremacy in most part of the world, but in the neighborhood of China, China already has overwhelming military power with her DF supersonic missiles and 055 missile destroyer. One 055 destroyer can sink a whole US carrier fleet.

    Whatever happens, as long as humanity is considered in every action, humanity with humans will prevail.
    Concept economics brought the conflict between the ‘educated’ and ‘uneducated’ seeding greed in the shadows of philantrophy. Give what is due to humanity who deemed intellect a solution for the whole (civilization, being civil) and not for a few saying, “overpopulation, we need to reduce.”

    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.

    Read title of TED Talk…I did not think that… After listening to Ian, I am still unsure. My initial reaction is “Ian is reaching!”. For example, why does the “Digital Order Gang” (DOG, he he he) split into to two groups once the something happens, that Ian had concluded, based on something else he thinks is the case. This analysis feels contrived. But well done, Ian! Kudos to you!

    Wait. @ 9:18, why did you mention that “Donald Trump is able to speak without a filter”? You mean without censorship by the liberal biased media!? I WANT him to speak his mind, UNFILTERED, because I’ll know what he’s thinking, unlike the warped and depraved liberals that are manipulating EVERYTHING and plotting to try and cheat him out of another election. Furthermore, the one who needs a filter, or rather a handler, is the current President Dementia that you all CHEATED into office, who’s clueless about which day it is, whose hand to shake, or which way to fall off the platform. Here’s a simple thought; How does Trump fill stadiums EVERYWHERE he goes, yet pedo Joe can’t fill a grade school cafeteria, yet won the election. Explain that….You libs have done a great job at eroding trust in the election system, and ELIMINATING any confidence in the presidency.

    And there WAS NO RIOT at the Capital on January 6th. That was a spirited PROTEST, unlike the libs burning cities down across the country for months on end, but that news wasn’t covered. Clearly, you are either deceived, or depraved, because you’re unable to see the truth from lies, and good from evil.

If you do not, then you do not and will not fit in. don’t break the law, and don’t go telling other people what to do, because soon, 5g will end your little rants and put you in a hot box.

    He doesn’t get it, it’s not the SM algorithms that are the problem – they simply feed us what we want to see.

    Many (most?) people on SM want to experience negativity towards what they fear which gives them a big shot of what they crave. These folks simply are being served what they asked for.

    As much as I wish it was, this is not the fault of SM. It is, however, a sad statement about current Western societal values… in other words, poor quality of character… and personal responsibility went out the window..

    The US is unable to effectively project power so they’ve resulted to funding proxywars.

    June 21, 2023 at 8:04 pm

    Why did he word it like that? At 2:12 what kind of warped narrative creation was that? C’mon now. “We thought they would become Americans” …… Why did you word it like that? First, the idea was that money would influence them into capitalism – and if you’ve ever been to China, you would know just how materialistic and capitalist Chinese people really are, despite the words used to define their government. And then you kept on with that weird narrative warping: “Turns out… they’re still Chinese”

    From this moment on, I will be sceptical of everything you say, because you have shown your desire to create a weird narrative, rather than present facts as they are.

  161. Alex Ander

    Also, it’s hilarious that you’re trying to portray South Africa as anything more than a country that is in the process of complete collapse. Do your viewers know how tragic the past few decades in South Africa have been? That the entire COUNTRY – every single person in every single city – gets a routine power-outage every single day??? That the unemployment rate is FIFTY percent? Inflation is run away with itself, and the government is completely corrupt and amassing vast personal wealth.

    Yes. Agree. Where SpaceX, Google, FB, Microsoft, internet etc originated, created, and invented? it is in the US and followed by far advance countries right? Technology helps the world to advance further little by little in exponential way affecting our daily lives and further more where AI gets responses from our inquiries? Of course from the collected data stored in each advance technology created by the companies. So our freedom and democracy and even our own identity are being destroyed with this high technology. Can we kill this technology so we can go back to basic definitely no. But we can stop them by destroying us if the government create laws, rules and regulations to avoid future digital wars.
