Cass Sunstein

So the question is, you know, isn't how would counter-speech operate in the ideal academic seminar where everyone is completely open-minded? It's the question, how does counter-speech work in the real world? And here I think There are a number of questions that need to be asked when designing a counter speech campaign.

And I think the first question to ask is, who is the speaker? Who's the messenger? Who are you going to have actually do the work of issuing the correction? Cass Sunstein has a lovely thought.

He calls it a surprising validator.

It's someone who confirms something that you wouldn't expect it to confirm.

On the left, computer scientist and technology critic Jaron Lanier, who has spent years warning that business models built on behavioral manipulation can distort relationships, identity, and public life.

On the right, legal scholar Cass Sunstein, whose work on choice architecture and nudges has made one idea unavoidable.

The default itself is a decision, and somebody has to make it.

This is a fictional debate.

So Brzezinski was basically saying – in 1970 where we would be at right now in 2017.

So they knew where it was gonna go and that would require basically completely committed cult member technocrats uh like people you're talking about like uh schmidt at google regina dugan from darpa to google uh cass sunstein at the nsa i mean these are the characters who are you know sort of taking the reins not so much of the i mean the money the monetary influence the banking influence and all that the assets are still going to be in these big bloodline families.

That's not going anywhere.

But they have a managerial class, and that's the technocrats that we're talking about who are going to actually run the system.

But that's pretty deep.

That's deep psychological warfare.

I mean, the people that are propagating this don't even know that that's what's going on, right? If you doubt me, just read Cass Sunstein's

article.

So you had books, Surowiecki's book, The Wisdom of Crowds.

Cass Sunstein had a book.

There was a letter in Science asking that these things have regulations lifted on them because they were and are deemed to be futures contracts and therefore under the purview of the CFTC.

We can come to Kalshi and the CFTC's, you know...

I still believe that Donald Trump should rescind the Smith Modernization Act of 2013 that I believe scandals.

Cass Sunstein, the the nudge guy, the you know, with his ethics are pal Norm Eisen in the most unethical and and corrupt regime ever, which will end up being the Obama regime on many levels.

But they put in that.

the United States government, to the tune of $800 million under Obama, could use propaganda that they use overseas to manipulate nations and overthrow regimes and election interference with the CIA, Black Ops, NED, USAID, that they You could use it on us just in time for the pandemic and the 2020 election nonsense and everything with January 6th.

I think that you would expect that would be a sector where you'd see it rolled out very quickly.

In terms of regulation, though, of the financial industry, one of the things, as Frank and I were talking before about getting a... independent regulatory body for AI up and running, which is something, by the way, Cass Sunstein has a proposal on this, but also Demis Hassabis has put out early on a proposal to say that we need to regulate AI in the same way we do regulate financial institutions.

So something like FINRA should be proposed for the AI companies.

Now that's going to be a kind of public-private partnership idea in a standard setting and all of that, but with some kind of accredited third party observation.
