a c, i could also be at a low by does a will view, but out loud. the key gain g l o view to know 5, but it was a lot the sooner is hearing aids use either. so in a pallet oh, household like to charge the hearing aid measuring the battery costs. okay. but uh, a pound and british pound price and last about a week. so once or twice a week, you take it, you're hearing a battery popping in the night and over the next morning of the 1st battery. so these batteries costs a pound and last 2 to 3 years versus one week. so that is hearing aids, a patient free, an open source, which means that anyone around the world can use or adopt the designs at no cost. me by the components in the hearing aids, the same place is a big 5 company to do. there's no reason hearing an ssl for a 1000 pounds or 20000 pounds. the component costs for this for 40

the but i am 12 so we think that he how did you call his name that time? my duty and also arguing the judge degree. so he was faces incredibly complex,

it's going to take time for the muscles in his tongue and his mouth and also to his ears and his brain to get used to putting it all together for the speech make sense . so that's actually going to be something that will take a long time before he gets right on the side you have i you see the visa they use with us. so all of the song, just so yeah, katie, by time i thing my city change, but it's a visa or even just city. i think the this is turkey. turkey a is the 1st country to develop a national, sustainable tourism program in collaboration with the global, sustainable tourism cubs. village life here retains its job. every meal is like

a feast from the farm to the table. hundreds of excavations and restoration works. this country is a place to slow down and enjoying the simple things coming to discover the natural, historical, and cultural beauties the 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 a 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, when 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 end. now in a fiery apocalypse, then that it's gonna somehow just keep on going that we're gonna stay in this perpetual. now the bill was include to every scene, the combs with the, the the

news hi. are you doing scrolling? how about texting, a friend you minutes to say hello. so i'm known for something called doomed scrolling reminders, which were the tweets that i was manually writing and sending out as a starting at the beginning of the pen demik around april 2020, telling myself not to look at my phone to 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

high it can be tempting to do scrolling this more time than you expected. is there an email you need to send food? you having you caught me didn't scroll and 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 and i'm like, what just happened? i assume 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 around, move my phone number. it's nice not to be like okay, i have to wash dishes. let me find a long form video to watch. just like to talk has a 10 minute video picture now. so i just listen to people talking to me like we just washed the dishes. the

during the initial year of the pen to make people were doing ridiculous things like buying huge amounts of stuff online, trying to over exercises within their apartments stuff. 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 because that felt like that was something within their control. the, the, there is absolutely a pervasive, really 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 few of us from all over the world, central india, underwhelming monsoon, detailed meal currents and failed to bring relief from the gateways. london, i'm seeing roughly a doubling of tents and make shift shelters popping up and parks and public spaces over the last 6 months. it's just little things that you see on the corner of your eye, but add to the overall feeling of things and spiraling down. do you miss the rise of anxiety when your 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, the way a spokesperson for the apocalypse, that i will never hear the end of it,

where they may end up dues 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 years. you know something, something bad around the corner. i definitely definitely have that in the back of my mind. we live in 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 not, you're watching videos the when do you create an 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. 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. the 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 lots of agency in respond welcome to sign period lenders 1st, cyberspace cafe and stupid cafeteria. joining millions of others hitting down the road to seek information 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. 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 right, it's going to be tremendous, says the dreams that we've had in the past. all being 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 past, all these already own into profit from this and you wage. so in order to increase the probability of very particular money making outcomes on the net, we took these technologies and turn them from tools that unleashed wild

possibilities to tools that we used on people to make them behave more predictable . if you're not the customer, you're the product, but we're more than that. where, where is the labor force? right? well 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 exhaust it, 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. the name am i to the i bought a but the more about that more of the again, the 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. they 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 do 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 in the, the time that i am alive wanting it to be interesting. but, and i don't think especially the case anymore. i think we are an interesting times the the 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 beams current 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 you're suffering immensely. the, the other thing is it seems like humanity is a bit star for it. it relationships with in the reaction to that is to then loudspeaker appears within culture and 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 preparation 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 comfort file refuge.

the, i think there is part of the 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 rush, cause i wrote

a p talking about conversations he 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 ships 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 doomsday. people coming here to survive the will to phillips. yeah, it's a usual topic that pops up every now and again. uh, previous, last as an engineer i got a few calls about whether it was actually a cruise or not. ill bunk is in the, in the,

in the outback sort of question. or put it as an even mess, i think is counseling. we've never seen anything come across this asking for permission to put one in. but i mean, you think is that something you actually ask permission for? it's out there, but we embrace on a lot of people in the com who is a european businessman. he bought a property out of queenstown. he has this parts from last year where he shows a picture of his property and the location looks very much like why and are preserved to me. and then he's got the solar panels down the bottom minutes. caption is really for world war 3, within a nuclear, somebody beside it, and that's the heli pads. oh, if you are for rolls royce, rolling through every time i roll up here, i'm worried something's gonna run out of the gatehouse romero me. i've spoken with

people who is excavated 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 in that building 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, this gape 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 mask, 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 on 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. speaks of shops, spies, 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 get bush papers late in 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 have 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 installation is tendencies of the billionaire class. we can see that and go off. that's ridiculous. when something like kogan depend, demik 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, or 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 food do i have in my basement? how long can i ask them? do i have a gun to keep my neighbor's house, or 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 liked about it was not as hard as us. we found out like people were more focusing on know to me and that they believe that whatever within them could be the solution to react with more trust facing what we called the break upfront. not much what we called the business side. actually they bring solutions. so they're nice

people, they're 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 i think was an e code. it could be a check. yeah. big, now i should put a here i see, to national so that because of the 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, you, my faith is dependent on your faith. yes. read it is a community in, but only in the sense are extensive, which in online community can be a community occurs in actual relationships and people living systems, places that they're in their species going every day. we're 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 neil. 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 even stop 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 the 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 that 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
