Henry Ford

The factory, factory workers were, were imported, um, were kept under watch, but, you know.

Uh, and, and I, I'll say it again, and I guess we'll get to this at some point, but Henry Ford building the largest truck plant, plant in the world in the midst of the Depression in Soviet Ukraine, you know, profit seems to come...

You know, there's a reason Henry Ford was so wealthy, that he was willing to throw all his views towards Jews to the wind for a massive profit, which he received.

There was no native auto industry.

There would've been if there was no, you know, um, if the Czarist Russia was continuing to develop.

You know, it was such a, a shock when, in the early '90s, because I was, I was there for it.

I was in college- Uh, when those files were opened for the first time, it was a shock really to the left, uh, because everything that people like Joe McCarthy, others like him, Henry Ford, everything that they were saying was true.

Now, I know that there was some attempt to, you know, get rid of a lot of them, put them out of order.

I don't know if there were many destroyed just so it, it couldn't keep going, but, um, by the mid-'90s, this stuff had been now published and, and well known even in English in, in certain places, and, um, it just, you know, it...

It's how to say it's it's for me, I normally give you this example.

So back in the days when Henry Ford invented his Ford Model T, everybody was riding horses.

And I think the horse riders and different kinds of guys who were driving people from one destination to another by horse, I think they were a little bit engaged and a little bit concerned about the immodality.

But what actually happened? The idea of a taxi driver or the idea of driver never actually left the planet.

I think that's if I was in a gym still like that's how I would approach it.

Like if you have more people who are engaged in the process of wanting to get better, those are the people that you can speak to who are ready for help.

And I think that I think I wonder if it just always comes down to this, Anton, because, you know, as you were speaking about Henry Ford, I think Neil Brennan brought up this thing of.

There was a whole book written when the TV first came out about this was the death of radio and this is a demonic thing and everything's going to change.

But now, in marketing with the use of AI, we can get all of that.

So I challenge, especially go-to-market teams, If we didn't do certain things before, just because it was hard to do manually or it was expensive or slow at scale, rethink that, reimagine and go there, right? Because I do believe we're in this Henry Ford moment.

You can't reimagine the future by simply automating your past.

That's good.

We say it and we think it.

And as Henry Ford famously said, if you think you can't, I think you can't.

You're right.

So whenever we listen for fear, the next thing we're going to do is we're going to name the fear before it names a strategy.

Irrelevant.

I wouldn't have a clue what Henry Ford's political views

are.

And I never thought to ask.

These people, Edison is the most famous example, were absolutely and visibly motivated by a functioning patent system.

And then into the 20th century, when you have Henry Ford in the assembly line of the manufacturing industry, modern manufacturing systems.

You have the Wright brothers and the airplane.

And then of course the computer system and then the internet and the dawn of the information age.

You know, it was such a shock when in the early 90s, because I was there for it, I was in college, when those files were opened for the first time.

It was a shock really to the left because everything that people like Joe McCarthy, others like him, Henry Ford, everything that they were saying was true.

Now, I know that there was some attempt to, you know, get rid of a lot of them, put them out of order.

I don't know if there were many destroyed just so it couldn't keep going.

The factory, factory workers were, were imported, um, were kept under watch, but, you know.

Uh, and, and I, I'll say it again, and I, well, I guess we'll get to this at some point, but Henry Ford building the largest truck plant in the world in the midst of the Depression in Soviet Ukraine, you know, profit seems to come-- You know, there, there's a reason Henry Ford was so wealthy, that he was willing to throw all his views towards Jews to the wind for a massive profit, which he received.

There would have been if there was no, you know, um, if the Czarist Russia was continuing to develop.
