[@monikapatel5875]

Becoming cyborg is the ultimate destiny of humans.

[@slouischarlesYT]

What watch is Eric wearing and why does he look younger? Thanks for this!!

[@cactusp00p]

Lmao, didn't expect to hear Dave Asprey, the butter coffee guy here

[@bariswheel]

What’s that watch Eric is wearing? Peter’s laughing is just like Larry King’s

I call bullshit on Eric in the first 3 minutes of this diatribe. @3:55 “..unanimously...” This is ridiculous. All society is built on the three pillars of Energy, Transportaion, and communication. If EVER there was a “unanimously” CRITICAL endeavor to support, it’d be supplanting the exploitive and war producing economy of fossil fuels with the decentralized “We Don’t Have To Bomb Our Way To The Top” tech-centered decentralized energy from “backyard...rooftop” renewable energy. Now you know why Bill Gates is buying all the farm land. And now you know why this changes nothing...NOTHING!!!

agreed, they are monopolists, pretending to save the world :)
