Even if you don't agree with him in his political conclusions or his career choice, he makes some very good observations

  • Society is reflecting the internet
  • Centalization of the internet makes it a tool of global mass surveillance that is difficult to get around
  • Censorship and the erosion of rights through centralization is meant to concentrate power (specifically mentions manipulating search results)
  • People don't seem to care about the erosion of rights as much as they should, less they be labeled a 'conspiracy theorist'
  • Specifically talks about global unemployment and a mass reset (albeit through a socialist lens)

It is very insightful that he was calling things so bad 6 years ago, but compared to today there was the illusion the internet was still a fairly open place.
