jeffrey epstein, i'm assuming the f b, i accusing the agency of finding to protect them. a lawsuit brought by 12, women says the f b. i allowed epstein to sexually traffic and abuse children and young women for more than 2 decades before finally taking action that seeking a specified amount of damages. argentina is not even inflation. rates has sold above 250 percent. that's according to new government data. with the rising cost of goods, soup kitchen is a feeding to squeeze a lot in america, edits understand human reports now from but as iris of the children and started arriving at this community center for lunch early in the morning. even though it won't be served till mid day, all the food, so here comes from go nations, then. okay. i thought i'm really and i know what it's like to go to bed hungry. so nice. i'm on my feet. i fall into here. it feels good to help them to see someone with a plate of food smile. but the meals being served are not enough to meet the growing

demand in this neighborhood. with a number of people seeking food assistance is doubling every week. 4 months ago they only serve children here now its entire families that have to come here for a plate of food and because of origin tina story inflation donors can't afford to give them so much as they used to. which means the soup kitchen often has nothing to give. and that means that many of the people here have to go for a full day with nothing to eat. the latest overall inflation figure for last month was 20.6 percent. soup kitchen, director santiago, picket or says food prices with the most critical, you know, and so the, we used to pay $0.82 for a kilo fries and now it's triple more than $3.00. but others see the latest inflation figure as a glass half full look at the gun. the news,

what matters is the tendency inflation is down 5 percent compared to december. and well, february may not be an improvement by april. it's expected to drop 8 percent or so that's because the government is not printing any more money to finance the fiscal deficit. it's a textbook build tightening measure that's heating the middle income and poor families, the hardest josie, my type of that i am unemployed teacher. if i don't come to the soup kitchen, i don't eat no me, i've done my pension isn't enough to put food on the table. the lucky ones who came early cause a plateful, lots of many others. this huge part wasn't enough. to see a newman al jazeera window situs, that's it from a dime and drilled with an hour pop lips maybe next night. you and then someone from the for 3 days, this low lying coastal area in northern lebanon was inundated,

when nearby rivers overflowed during heavy rains. those living here are some of the most vulnerable in lebanon, where the economy has all the collapse. the river is water level reached up to here . experts say global climate change is leading to intense bouts of rain. after long periods of dry weather. there are several informal settlements for refugees from neighboring syria in this region as well. concern is growing among communities living here near the backs of 2 rivers. that the worst is yet to come. i think people are taking the end of time for what is actually the end of time. the digital media environment is very, very different from the analog lines that went before. think of the way clocks used to be a clock was

a big round thing with the 2nd hand that went slowly around. it had a narrative arc to it. almost. if you watch the clock, oh, it's a new minute, you know, and it's come around, compare that to a digital clock which is wait for a minute. there's no sense of the passage of time. we no longer have an organizing narrative. people are so desperate for an organizing story that they would rather believe that everything is going to and now in a fiery apocalypse, then then it's going to somehow just keep on going that we're going to stay in this perpetual. now the bill was include to everything that comes with the the,

[000:00:00;00] the news hi. are you doing scrolling? hubbard, texting your friend, you minutes to say hello. so i'm known for something called boom, scrolling reminders, which were the tweets that i was manually writing and sending out of the starting at the beginning of the pen demik around april 2020, telling myself not to look at my phone. doing scrolling is very specifically the

act of looking at your phone with the initial search for information and then being sucked in to information that is non productive and also you lose track of time. and then you also, the utility of the information that you're receiving becomes smaller and smaller. you get sucked into petty arguments arm chair analysis. the time it can be tempting to do scrolling news more time than you expected. is there an email you need to send food, you having you caught me doing scrolling? i didn't scroll so much. i've been trying to like, not do it, but it's hard not to. it makes you feel like i'm losing my mind when i come out of it and it's like 3 hours later in like what just happened through school and it's more so like i'm in

a trance. i have no conception of anything that's around me in my physical and then i kind of like look up or i'll move my phone number night time aside from not to be like okay, i'm to wash dishes. let me find a long form video to watch because like to talk has a 10 minute video feature now. and so i just listen to people talking to me like we just watched the dishes, the during the initial year of the pen demik, people were doing ridiculous things like buying huge amounts of stuff online, trying to over exercises within their apartments. and so for a lot of people, the easiest thing that they could have done was just stay up late and scroll on their thoughts. it's because that felt like that was something within their control . the,

[000:00:00;00] the, there is absolutely a pervasively unhealthy relationship that many people have with technology and information. and i don't think that's necessarily their fault. many social platforms are leveraging our attention in ways that facilitate this circumstance. the deal falls from all over the world. central india underwhelming monsoon did el nino currents and failed to bring relief from the gateways. london, i'm seeing roughly a doubling of tents and make sure of shelters popping up and parked some public spaces over the last 6 months. it's just these little things that you see on the

corner of your eye, but add to the overall feeling of things spiraling down. do you miss the rise of anxiety when you're confronted with the reality of living in a corrupt, dysfunctional civilization? that is at odds with the natural world, you have taken some form of step towards awareness that way and spokesperson for the apocalypse. i will never hear the end of it up like where they may end up too. and it feels really like a huge combination of like every bad thing that's ever happened happening at once, right. in front of you. that feeling that kind of feeling of like, uh, world war 3 is coming or you know, something, something batch around the corner. i definitely definitely have that in the back of my mind. we live and such a weird time where we can see what's actually happening to people on our phones.

it's not like, oh you're hearing this, you're hearing now, you're watching videos the when the you crean invasion happened. i spent several hours reading about how poorly russia had maintained its military based on photographic analysis of the wheels. it's one thing to know that ukraine is severely being affected, that most people don't need to know about how to analyze photographs of tanks and lack of tire maintenance among the russian military. like those kinds of levels. climate change wars, natural disasters, the economy, those bags. you can essentially read a page these bases on each of those topics on

a daily basis and never get to the bottom of it and feel completely overwhelmed and loss of agency in response wilson to sign period london's 1st cyberspace cafe and stupid joining millions of others hitting down the road to seeking somebody superhighway the internet gave us new possibilities. you know it open the door to start thinking about living and working in a more peer to peer fashion in order to foster a new kind of human culture coolant. very exciting, and i mean like to like, one day when we gave the internet to people in the late eighty's early ninety's, it unleashed all sorts of creativity, a new possibilities. all it's going to be tremendous, says the dreams that we've had in the past. all thing able to access what's called the information superhighway and perhaps do a shopping house on,

on the information superhighway. do some banking perhaps? what happened though was once business people saw how exciting this, this internet was, they started to think about, well, how do we make money off this thing the best. so these already own into profit from this new wage. so in order to increase the probability of very particular money making outcomes on the net, we took these technologies and turned them from tools set on least wild possibilities to tools that we used on people to make them behave more predictable . or if you're not the customer, you're the product. um, but we're more than that. where, where's the labor force? right? that's we are working for just social media company. when we dutifully enter in all our stuff and give them all our data, think of how you feel when you get off the internet, you're exhausted, that's work and it's not exhilarating, it's, it is labor. so really they're just looking for different ways to monetize any

single human behavior and then sell that back to us as some form of in power. no, no, no, i don't have the name and most of the model, but the more about that more of the been there. but again, the bottom, i think with that more of a pop was the, with the most common thing i said was, hi, are you doing scrolling? it made people feel present again in themselves, made them a little bit more aware of. maybe they had been on their phones for a long time, so i would often encourage people to take walks or do offline activities. there is very little guidance on what people can do, how it personally affects their lives, what they do, and do not need to know that is essential. and then also what people are doing in response to try to make those things less for a fake and don't stay like. and i think that is

a real issue with not only the media industry, but also forces that benefit from that chaos or that feeling of chaos among the general public. the. there are lots of people who have already felt a radical shift in their communities or countries. and even if you're in 1st world life or in a privileged place, you could go most days and not really encountered whatsoever. yet in 2017, i was reaching kind of a peak where my collapse awareness made me want to have a broader, more intimate conversation with anyone. some of that probably was its own form of kind of romanticize a time that i'm into the time that i'm alive wanting it to be interesting. but i

don't think especially the case anymore. i think we are an interesting times the parents, the eclipse separated is a online discussion for him. it's based in a larger platform called the read it. there's about close to $500000.00 subscribers . a been a moderator for the last 4 years. the conversation is focused on the notion of collapse, which is defined as a radical reduction in population or complexity across multiple systems for a significant period in a relatively quick range of time. the dean, scrolling capital of the internet, i was interviewed for the journalist who wrote the article that called it that, i mean he pulled it from the ether. it was already a notion, but i think a lot of people missed the points. the,

the whisper on the wind is that the earth is suffering immensely. the, the other thing is, it seems like humanity is a bit star for it. it relationships with endings. the reaction to that is to then this loudspeaker appears within culture of people that are trying to point the spotlight in that direction. i had a single encounter with some billionaire doomsday preparation. you know, where i thought i was going to be giving a talk on the future, you know, digital technology. and it was just 5 tech bros who wanted advice on their bunkers, where to put them how to maintain control of their security fours. whether i thought they were reasonable plans or not, but it set me on a journey not to research billionaire peppers and their underground layers,

but rather how did the wealthiest most powerful people in the world today come to believe that it's all ending? there's an obvious subset of the technology who will just be leveraging their wealth and an individualistic way to try to insulate themselves even further. i know people personally who left the states specifically to go to new zealand cuz it sounded like congress file refuge the i think there is part of this sort of conflict of human consciousness that thinks of new zealand is a place that safe in the world from global 3, if you look at a bunch of different parts of popular fiction is this place that's considered as

maybe the saving grace of humanity. the having grown up around here in queenstown. i already had sort of associated economic interest in how is changing i mean in 2017, this journalist douglas rushed costs. i wrote a piece talking about conversations he'd had with wealthy, powerful people in silicon valley in particular about the way they were thinking about new zealand as a place to escape to in the case of tuesday, essentially from that there were emerged, reports on individuals and companies sort of saying, yeah, that's true. i've seen a bunch of there were companies that sell survival bunkers saying they'd ship them here. so they kind of spared a conversation with the new zealand. i developed a document true trying to answer the question of whether there were survival

bunkers here or no the the dreams die. people coming here to survive the world across the lips. yeah. it's a usual topic. mit types are leaving now and again. uh previous, last as an engineer i got a few calls about whether this actually occurs or not. ill bunk is in the, in the, in the back sort of question or put it as an even mess, i think is counsel. we've never seen anything come across this asking for permission to put one in, but i mean, you think, is it something you actually ask permission for? it's out there, but we embrace on top of to be full in the. com who is the european businessman. he bought a property out of queens,

dumped his this purse from last year where he started the picture of his property and the location looks very much like why in are preserved to me, and then he's got the solar panels down. the bottom of this caption is really for world war 3 with the nuclear. somebody beside it. that's the heli pads. oh, the fusion of rolls royce, rolling through every time i roll up here, i'm worried someone's going to run out of the gatehouse, romero me spoken with people who as kicks cuz they did and built the properties here and they've talked about significant underground structures. this is the scenes or i guess of the conversation about the kinds of properties that are being built. we realize the survival bunker is secret on purpose, and the billing is don't want to be accessible. they're worried about economic clips leading to a society of people. essentially,

they're worried that as their neighbors are going to turn on them, these are the people that are perpetuating our current economic system, profiting from it, and then preparing for its collapse, in spite of the impact that we have on everyone else in the world. the most simply, the mindset is the idea that with more technology, you can solve the problems of the last technology and make more money in doing so. this idea that you can somehow escape from the problems you are creating by doing what you're already doing faster. and that's the basic rule of capitalism. it's a race that ultimately doesn't work because it turns out the real world kind of is

limited. the long mosque just like the brightest minds in the world, like how much would it cost in the world $100.00. and they actually did the math, they like, took it seriously. they sit down and see it was $6000000000.00 we could like really interest this problem. he never did that. he said, like, tell me how much know do it in stevie spent $44000000000.00 on twitter. i mean, like most parts of politic fiction. that's what it's trying to get hired all this, like when you strip away all the conveniences of our lives. like who are we really what we're talking about here with 1000000000 years and dear priorities and how they are preparing for an end of days. it's a similar thing, isn't it? that sort of reveals who they are, what their priorities are, and what they do with the power and wealth that they have. by the end of it, i didn't really care if people head of survival bunk underneath their properties

because i did find it to be true that they were treating use deal and itself as the bunker. the landscape of clean sounds changed considerably. well said, but he needs coming in more money is coming in streets of shots. i suppose it's safe place to come to the play space. if something does go wrong in the world, i think we've got bush x rays, i think with these more resources and opportunities up up in the forest from the hope anything could happen in this country. right. so as a key we were pretty well clear say pick out and go somebody. yeah, if we history. yeah. so the volume is going to have a bank because then we'll go bush, just basically the summer even if they have been cuz it's a ridiculous strategy because i mean, at some point you've got to come out and it, by that point, you've alienated yourself from the community that will remain here when you need

more food, if you get sick, you know, if you need some company, it's easy to point out. the kind of i solution is tendencies of the billionaire class. we can see that and go, that's ridiculous. when something like kogan, the pandemic happens, we all start to see where is that tendency in ourselves? we start to think about other human beings the way the tech crows do. oh, they're dirty, are contaminated and scary. i need to insulate myself from them when people start thinking about like prepping, if they're like tech bros. they think how much do do i have in my basement? how long can i ask? whom do i have a gun to keep my neighbors out? you can talk to any real pepper and they'll tell you the 1st thing you think about is, what are the other people on my block doing? they know that you can't prep a lot we, we're very interested by all these printers movements in the us. and we've got to

discover these survival environments and friends and what we like to vary to was not as hard as us. we found out like people were more focusing on autonomy and that they believe that's with them within them could be the solution to react with more trust facing what what we called the business side. actually they bring solutions. so there are nice people there and not like people who like hiding in their printers, and that's actually the exact opposite it's. they're more about sharing this, the spirit of communities very important as well. so we believe that the group is stronger than not to look into the excuse that did i think, but the more that the people to know the level of these um

within the code it could be one the check. yeah. big. now, i see here i see 2 national so that the 2000 and past punky done the don't we'll, we'll move you to be able to we're not gonna do that. you get to care about every body we're all of is the good. so not a bad thing, it's a good thing, right? but that's really hard for a lot of us because then using, oh my god, you mean my fate is dependent on this on the health of the planet? yes, you, my faith is dependent on your faith. yes, read it is a community in, but only in the sense are expensive, which and online community can be for community occurs in actual relationships and

people living systems, places that they're in their species going every day where losing species you know, it's like you can't get much clearer than that, i think amenities as 30 will off a cliff and our ability to collectively proactively respond to that is, is pretty neal. the loss of hope is not necessitate apathy, an action or an active as of, as they are framing its fun loses hope. that doesn't mean one stops taking action. to suggest that would mean that all action can only come from home, which has been found that even at 1st glance, little on a deeper analysis, it's a, it's a great time i think, to accrue the understanding and skills so that we can move forward into this transitionary phase, there's just so much distraction and i know people need escapes from that to

not just walk off a cliff, the kitchen. okay. to embrace the beauty of this experience to a lot of times i feel so obligated to do something about climate change. and then i feel like if i'm, if i'm just writing books or giving talks or helping people experience all them, i'm like the, the band on the deck of the titanic playing as it goes down. but then i think what's more beautiful than being the band on the deck of the titanic, if it's is going down the, the latest news as it breaks, they've actually came to the civilian medical facility. and what seems to be a target to assess the nation with detailed coverage. this is not the only school that has been targeted schools in the cause of ship are not only schools, there shelters and graveyards. and phyllis journalism allegations of georgia has
