he talked about history of america, did an analogy between a country & a company, explained the power of exit, his examples range from one end to the other end of the spectrum of structure of common man mindset/mentality of how the what in the world spectrum is structured & why. he took the example across 4 cases - open source, customer, company, country. try and understand his thinking, its insane, its all encompassing, he's looking at the world as a whole, with few to no biases.
People are saying it's ahead of time. All these concepts are literally from the book he referenced in the presentation in the 70s.Kudos for connecting many of the points though.
Any question now? I'm writing this on Jan 31, 2021. A lot has happened in the past 13 months. A lot has happened in the last month alone. Balaji has been right this whole time. We're definitely headed the direction he says.
@@AustinMCraigDoesNeatStuff No question about it! Did you read TIME magazine's article about the cabal of tech/media companies that "protected" the 2020 election?
What's wrong with this is because since this talk was given Google, as a company, has become evil. Facebook is a force for destruction of our democracy via rampant trumpism. There are no ideals. There are just profits and systemic racism. We need some governance to ensure equity for everyone. Without it, the rich just get richer and the poor get poorer. Paper or tech it doesn't matter. The outcome is the same due to human nature.

The more I listen to @Balajis the more I'm convinced he's a time traveler.
I agree. :-) a time traveler genius
He often claims he lives trying to imagine the world in 5yrs time, so it makes perfect sense you feel this way. Totally agree myself haha
the best kind of time traveler

Well, this was ahead of its time.
In what way??
Facebook and Google actively work with our government and advocate integration and regulation.
It still is :(
@@Vilatan that's so crazy tbh
@@rron5641 Which is why he's now bullish on crypto and decentralization
@@adish5248 Are there any new lectures? Sounds interesting
one of best talks I have heard, ever, on the future
Casually talking about bitcoin in 2013.
This is a very very important idea

Omg that Microsoft slide is almost the funniest thing I've ever seen
You should get out a bit more.
It's been 6 years since this talk. Does it seem that world is moving this way? I don't know.
He notes the backlash from “Paper” (aka Big Media) is beginning. We’re in the midst of it now in late 2019.

@@AustinMCraigDoesNeatStuff No question about it! Did you read TIME magazine's article about the cabal of tech/media companies that "protected" the 2020 election?
Yup, with blockchain
Obviously
Satoshi Srinivasan?
Brilliantly worded
This guy definitely read The Sovereign Individual. He made like 20+ references to it in the first few minutes alone
Nice speech!
You guys realize he's pitching anarcho-capitalism, right? He wants a country governed just informally by a cartel of tech companies.
What is wrong with that?
@@fahrankamili7931 I hope you realize you won't be included.
no he is not. go back to your paper world.

EXIT is a metaconcept ! Wow !

this is as "revolutionary" as musk's las vegas loop
This is actually goofy
FREESTATE PROJECT
