Jordan Peterson highlights the societal challenge of the 15% of the population with an IQ below 85, for whom few jobs exist. The hosts argue that as "high IQ tech geeks" automate the world, the demand for cognitive power increases. They cite the rapid disappearance of Blockbuster and Redbox as evidence of how quickly automation is "setting people up to fail" by removing entry-level roles.
The discussion shifts to Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign and the impact of the smartphone era on political transparency. The hosts argue that since 2007, the rapid spread of information has rendered traditional leadership models obsolete. They compare the "AstroTurfing" of modern movements like ADOS and Blexit to the historical hijacking of the Ron Paul Tea Party movement by establishment interests.
The evolution of media from television to smartphones has accelerated the spread of outrage and social justice movements. Current events in Hong Kong are compared to the civil rights era, noting how imagery like the eye patch has become a powerful symbol. There is a humorous aside regarding how globalist "all-seeing eye" symbolism is being retracted to avoid association with Hong Kong protesters.
