Welcome back everybody. I guess that is DJ calls a postdoctoral researcher at Plymouth University

in the UK where he studies the cognitive aspects of blindness and visual impairment. His neuroscience

books included your brain and quarantine, where does prejudice come from? He also writes about

politics for counter punch the gray zone. His political books include, we'll tell you what to

think, Wikipedia, propaganda and the making of liberal consensus, the latest book is by a fascism,

the tech, or my complex and the end of democracy. And those are all issues that we have a big

interest in talking about on this program. I want to start by playing you this very frightening

tape. I want to know Harari who is kind of the ideological comments are of a world economic

forum. And I would say the acolyte or inspiration for Glaupe Schwab who vigorously and aggressively

promotes him. Harari says this tape. Now scientists are saying, first of all there is no such thing as

free will. Science is familiar with just two kinds of processes in nature. You have deterministic

processes and you have random processes. And of course you have combinations of randomness

and determinism which result in a probabilistic outcome. But none of that is freedom. Freedom has

absolutely no meaning. From a physical or biological perspective it's just another myth,

another empty term that humans have invented. Humans have invented God and humans have invented

heaven and hell and humans have invented free will. But there is no more truth to free will

than there is to heaven and hell. And as for feelings they are definitely real,

they are not a fiction of our imagination. But feelings are really just biochemical algorithms

and there is nothing metaphysical or supernatural about them. There is no obvious reason to consider

them as the highest authority in the world. And most importantly what scientists and engineers

are telling us more and more is that if we only have enough data and enough computing power

we can create external algorithms that understand humans and their feelings much better
