Every collapse is a signal — the sound of an idea outliving its usefulness. In this episode, George Monty explores how outdated paradigms are dissolving under the pressure of new technologies, and how moments of uncertainty often carry the greatest potential for reinvention.

From the ruins of old institutions to the rise of AI, blockchain, and bioengineering, this is a conversation about adaptation — about seeing crisis not as an ending, but as an initiation into the next phase of human creativity.

In this episode:

• How dying systems make room for revolutionary innovation
• Why technological disruption is both threat and opportunity
• The psychology of adaptability in times of massive change
• The invisible link between chaos, creativity, and evolution
• How to harness technological transformation consciously

Speaker 0 (0s): Well, well, well, welcome back, everybody. Hope you enjoyed the last podcast where we got into an in depth idea or multiple ideas of supply chains and eugenics in a world that seems to be changing in a way reminiscent of old ideas. Does that make sense? I guess what I'm trying to say in a way to segway into this new idea I have is to talk just a little bit more about the old idea. 

And the old idea is this world of boomer ideology and the old ways. It seems to me, there's a lot of talk about the fourth turning in the fourth industrial revolution and what it comes down to is cycles. And there was no, I don't want to get into people being evil or angry or racist, or I think what's probably more likely is that there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. 

I think we've all heard that before. And what we're seeing right now is in fact, the retirement of a large group, probably the largest group, the boomers are retiring. And so were, there are ideas. And it's not that even though gen X, Y zoomers millennials, they tend to look at these older people in positions of authority and power and think to themselves, how can these people do what they do? 

Do they not see the level of destruction that they are bringing down upon the world? Do they not understand the level of poverty they are bringing to the future people on this planet? Do they not care? And it's a valid point. However, it's not that those people don't care. It's just that those Ideas are the only idea. Those were there, Ideas. 

They don't have new ideas. They only have their ideas and their ideas of what worked in the past logically should work in the future. When you're set in your ways, it's very difficult for you to see things differently. And that's why things are changing. And that's why there is this old world. And nothing seems to be working the dollar. The military might have the United States, this idea of globalization, as idea of stakeholder capitalism. 

These are all really old ideas that never truly came to fruition in the way the people thought they would come into fruition. You look at Klaus, Schwab, Henry Kissinger, Joe Biden, Donald Trump. You look at all these old people that did their best to try and do what they thought was right. I don't agree with a lot of what they did. 

However, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they did, what they thought was right. And they are Dying. And so were there Ideas, it's cyclical. And now we're moving into this new brave new world where it is possible that if we don't remember our past, we're doomed to repeat it in the future. Let me read to you a quick little excerpt of what I'm talking about. 

And I think it lends credence and evidence to show that this argument is something that has been with us forever, unity and division within appearance, a lively New debate about the concepts. One divides into two and to fuse into one, this is unfolding on a philosophical front in every country. 

This debate is a struggle between those who are four and those who are against the materialistic dialectic, a struggle between two conceptions of the world, the proletarian and booze was a conception. Those who maintain that one divides into two is the fundamental law of things are on the side of the materialistic dialectic. 

Those who maintain that the fundamental law of things is that to fuse into one are against the materialistic dialectic. The two sides have drawn a clear line of demarcation between them and their arguments are diametrically opposed. This polemic reflects on the ideological level, the acute and complex class struggle taking place in China and in the world. 

This is a passage from the red flag of peaking, September 21st, 1964. I want you to think about those two struggles. The struggle between two classes, one divides into two 

Speaker 1 (5m 59s): Or to fuse into one. I think about that for a minute. Does 

Speaker 0 (6m 5s): One divided into two? Can you cut it in half? And each person gets half a day 

Speaker 1 (6m 12s): To, to fuse into one. 

Speaker 0 (6m 19s): It's an interesting concept to think about it. It's capitalism, it's communism in a way 

Speaker 1 (6m 23s): It is it's life. 

Speaker 0 (6m 26s): It's the yin and the yang. And depending where you're at in your life probably depends on where you think you fall in those lines of demarcation. Everyone's heard that quote, that when you're young, if your not a liberal, 

Speaker 1 (6m 40s): If you don't have a heart 

Speaker 0 (6m 42s): And when you're old, if you're not a Republican, you don't have a, 

Speaker 1 (6m 44s): The brain is nothing. You don't have a heart or a brain is not that you're the scarecrow or the lion. It's just that you must be, 

Speaker 0 (6m 56s): Be on both sides of this argument at one point in your life, in order to truly understand, 

Speaker 1 (7m 2s): Stand that there is no solution to this problem. There was only the acceptance of it. Does that make sense to take a hard line and always say, no, 

Speaker 0 (7m 18s): We must take from this and give to 

Speaker 1 (7m 20s): These, or on the flip side to say, we must circle our wagons become one. 

Speaker 0 (7m 30s): You got to be on both sides. You have to live both of those experiences. 

Speaker 1 (7m 35s): Do you truly understand the argument? And once you've lived, both of those experiences, you know that there's no right answer. There is no right answer. There's only what's right for you and the people around you take it to the extreme that's human nature. That's why we have chaos. That's why we have greed. That's why we have oppression, 

Speaker 0 (8m 8s): Same forces, greed, and oppression, right? 

Speaker 1 (8m 11s): And selfishness. They give 

Speaker 0 (8m 18s): The way to inspiration. They give way...
