  Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to the 10 Penny Files.
• 0:29
  I'm your host, Dr.
• 0:30
  Sherry Tenpenny.
• 0:32
  The 10 Penny Files is daily conversations meant to inform and educate, not just to entertain.
• 0:37
  I come prepared and we let the discussion unfold naturally with people worth hearing on topics worth exploring.
• 0:44
  If it matters to your body, your freedom, or your future, we talk about it here on this show.
• 0:49
  Every day I have conversations with authors, documentary filmmakers, and independent thinkers whose work challenges mainstream messaging.
• 0:57
  We cover a wide range of topics here.
• 0:59
  So there's really something for everyone.
• 1:01
  We talk about government politics, history, astronomy, pets and travel, food farming and fitness, vaccines, health and health policy.
• 1:10
  And once a week, I have a conversation with an author or a pastor who writes about faith and biblical principles.
• 1:17
  My goal is to introduce you to topics you've never heard of before or topics you always wish that you'd had time to explore, but didn't know where to begin.
• 1:25
  Let our authors show you the way.
• 1:28
  Join me every day Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.
• 1:30
  Eastern at the 10 Penny Files, where you will hear from voices that have been ignored, silenced, or censored, but may but truly have something very important to say.
• 1:40
  Now, before we begin today's episode, I encourage all the listeners and watchers to please come and join us and become a 10 Petty Prime member.
• 1:48
  Prime members receive an exclusive monthly white paper and a recorded presentation that I do both.
• 1:53
  And then we have acts you have access to our monthly Ask the Expert Masterclass at the end of the month, where I find the best expert to cover the topic that we are exploring for the month.
• 2:03
  And each one of each month we are going through a different body part, because it's my my belief, my strong belief, if you know a little bit more about your body, that will give you the baseline to where you can uh better take care of your health.
• 2:17
  So these masterclasses are so good and they're part of your membership.
• 2:21
  So you really want to join us, go to Prime Membership.drtempity.com, prime membership.dr tempity.com to learn more and support our work.
• 2:32
  One last thing for those of you that have been listening to the show regularly.
• 2:35
  I start the show with the same introduction every week because we are growing rapidly, adding new listeners and new watchers.
• 2:42
  And so if this is your first time joining us, greatly, we greatly welcome you to be here.
• 2:47
  And if you are a regular, we are even more grateful for you to be here.
• 2:51
  So this is a way to know every day you know what we're going to be talking about and who you're going to be listening to, somebody that really shakes the trees.
• 3:00
  So now let's get started with somebody who really shakes the leaves off the trees with my good friend Matthew Hunt.
• 3:08
  Today's conversation is with the founder of Prep for Survival, Matthew Hunt, a resilience-focused education platform that helps individual families, individuals, families, and small businesses navigate an era of six of accelerating technological and societal change.
• 3:25
  Today we're going to be talking about three AI-focused e-books and an upcoming webinar on AGI, the artificial general intelligence and singularity.
• 3:37
  Matt, thank you so much for joining me here this morning on the 10 Penny Files.
• 3:42
  It's so good to see you again.
• 3:43
  And I can't wait to dive into this discussion.
• 3:46
  Well, thank you for having me.
• 3:48
  This is really important.
• 3:49
  This is the year.
• 3:51
  Everything changes.
• 3:52
  And you know, you don't have to believe anybody out here that's writing ebooks about it or whatever.
• 3:57
  Listen to the people that are creating the technology.
• 4:00
  They're all saying this is the year.
• 4:02
  This is the year.
• 4:03
  You know, you and I did a five-week boot camp about AI and health care and kindly the groundwork.
• 4:09
  And that was back in April 2024.
• 4:12
  Right.
• 4:13
  I think that when we did that, you were right over the target, but I think we were a little bit ahead of the curve.
• 4:18
  Now, two years later, AI has advanced massively.
• 4:22
  It was only three years ago talking about AI, and it seemed like it was, yes, we'll get there somewhere.
• 4:28
  Well, the someday is here.
• 4:30
  So two years left uh later, AI is massively and rapidly advanced, and you've continued to keep your eye on all these developments.
• 4:39
  What's the idea behind this new webinar two years later with all these developments that we're planning to do on April 11th, 2026?
• 4:48
  So we've created that webinar circling the wagons around the IG idea of AGI singularity.
• 4:57
  Singularity is the point where you know AI steps from useful chat tool, chat robot type thing in a web page that tells you about coupon codes or whatever, to an actual useful integrated tool, but it also has its own agency, which means that AI will be unleashed to be able to be able to make its own decisions based on its own rationale, right?
• 5:24
  So artificial general intelligence means that it can derive and come up with new concepts, new ideas on its own.
• 5:32
  And the singularity point is when that occurs, and at the same time, most of the experts that are pushing the technology believe that AGI will get singularity will signal the point where it is self-sustaining, self-repairing and can upgrade self.
• 5:49
  So those are pretty serious consequences to pushing the integration of this technology into our world.
• 5:56
  When we did those the webinar leading into that boot camp over just the medical takeover, you know, it was the idea of these were um auxiliary tools or uh they were uh shortcuts that staff, regular human staff would use to decide, you know, via a chat bot type interface whether you had the right to do something, no prescription, drive your car, keep your license over after a health thing, whatever.
• 6:24
  And then uh, you know, an AI system would drive an answer and a human would read it back.
• 6:29
  The idea with the singularity in AGI is the humans take it out of the loop, right?
• 6:35
  That's that's where it becomes big and different for all of us.
• 6:38
  You know, I did a I did a uh a had a conversation on this on this show a few weeks ago with Booker Scott on his book called The Fight for Humanity.
• 6:48
  And the basic premise is the book is that AI, what what happens when AI gets to the place where it demands rights and it's in it and you can't turn it off because that is considered murder, and it really has a right to say whether or not it's going to do something or not do something if they think it's unethical and what's going to happen if um you know if AI comes strongly into the workplace, who does it report to?
• 7:14
  HR or IT, you know, and in his book, he just gives a lot of really thought-provoking questions because he's not an AI guy, he's just a regular Joe like you and I.
• 7:24
  So he wrote it from a perspective of I out here, John Q citizens really have uh a concern.
• 7:30
  And he made a case for defining a 28th amendment, and the 28th amendment was to define what is human.
• 7:38
  And if you're in only our constitution will only apply to humans and not androids and bots and robots.
• 7:47
  But what do you think about all that?
• 7:48
  Are we going to get to that place?
• 7:51
  Uh I absolutely do.
• 7:52
  Uh, I think we are going to get to the place where some kind of constitutional framework or guardrail system needs to be put around the idea of a sentient AI.
• 8:04
  That's the other flip side or the corollary to the idea of a singularity is that the AI can then be considered sentient, which is essentially non-human with human characteristics, but it's its own life form, right?
• 8:20
  So at that point, you know, what's what safeguards or worse, you know, what landlines and the legal landscape do we walk on to?
• 8:32
  Because for example, I I've spent months trying to get uh the people that are leading the technologies um to look at an AGI constitution.
• 8:42
  And the idea is isn't that it's a paper product that we would look at as guardrails for yeah, we should do that.
• 8:49
  We should do that.
• 8:50
  No, this would be integrated technologically inside the AI system before they're sending.
• 8:56
  So that they have a set of rules they have to follow.
• 8:59
  Um, what your your author was talking about was the opposite direction of putting in our own constitution the idea that okay, this doesn't include or encapsulate sentient electronic beans or whatever.
• 9:13
  The idea is we're rushing toward this decision making process soon.
• 9:19
  If the AGI singularity happens this year, that opens up an entire legal issue that the whole world has to look at.
• 9:28
  Because what I mean, will we be able to turn one off?
• 9:33
  Literally.
• 9:34
  I mean, you know, otherwise legally, somebody's gonna say, no, you can't do that, and now is it murdered?
• 9:41
  Exactly.
• 9:41
  And they've already, there's already been cases where AIs have blackmailed their owner, if you call it an owner to um to not turn them off because they knew something the owner.
• 9:55
  I don't even know what what do you call a person that's uh that's managing an AI?
• 9:59
  Do you call them?
• 10:00
  Owner.
• 10:01
  Engineer.
• 10:03
  You know.
• 10:04
  Yeah.
• 10:05
  So that's that's been a question in my circles too.
• 10:07
  Is you know, are we considered owners of like the Optimus robot that Elon wants out there if it's sentient AI?
• 10:17
  Or are we?
• 10:18
  I mean, because then that brings in the whole idea of slavery type thing.
• 10:22
  You know, and in that that again, the legal landscapes will start piling on questions that have to get rapidly answered.
• 10:30
  And the idea that you know we wouldn't let this happen is risky because we already sort of do that.
• 10:38
  If you think about and this is an example I talked with some of my friends in legal circles, we already and most police forces in this country consider the canine dog an officer.
• 10:53
  That that animal is not human, is considered a police officer, and harming that dog is the same uh punitively as harming a human police officer.
• 11:06
  So we've already anthropomorphized a dog to be a policeman.
• 11:11
  So it's not a much of a hard step to say, oh, wait, this AI is really smart and it's helped me so much and it's done all these things.
• 11:21
  It's just like me.
• 11:23
  And we have a whole generation of kids coming up that this will be ubiquitous.
• 11:28
  It'll be part of their, it'll be a toaster to them unless it's so smart that we pass off the child rearing to that AI, and then they think of it in a warm fuzzy way as part of their family.
• 11:41
  And at that point, the the entire population starts shifting its opinion about this sentient, albeit not natural being.
• 11:53
  Any of the legal people right now in the landscape, I don't trust them to make good decisions at all.
• 11:58
  I just think that everything's done by committee.
• 12:00
  Everything is too many opinions thrown at the problem, and it all hashes out and distills down to really bad decisions these days.
• 12:09
  It's just tough.
• 12:19
  Actually, I heard uh back from most of the people I reached out, and they didn't want to touch it.
• 12:25
  And yeah, and and I use their own AI engines um to analyze the document for flaws, positive, possibilities, etc.
• 12:35
  And use that with as an example to them.
• 12:39
  Your own AI has analyzed the possibility of this being functional and realistic.
• 12:44
  And here's you know, 16 pages that elaborate on how brilliant this idea is, and none of them were we're so we're so far beyond the common answer was we're so far beyond the point of implementing that that you know, we're weeks away from having to make these decisions.
• 13:03
  And I mean, it was a common answer, and and it it sounds funny to be a guy, you know, for the audience, I'm sure.
• 13:12
  Well, how'd this guy get Sam Altman to answer?
• 13:14
  How did this guy get um you know uh Elon to answer?
• 13:19
  It's not that difficult.
• 13:20
  If you throw something out there in the um uh X spaces or whatever, and it tag everybody properly and get traction and get some of the other people that work with them to say, hey, you should look at you'll get answers back, but you're not likely to get answers you expect.
• 13:40
  Um they they are definitely driven by their own agenda uh stamina for some of them.
• 13:48
  I mean, they've been doing this for so long that they live in this space of we move this forward, or China will, we move this forward, or Russia.
• 13:58
  Um, you know, we've got to win, we've got to win.
• 14:01
  And the competition thing is the huge thing, and so that's that's why that's what's really accelerating this.
• 14:08
  And honestly, like yesterday, um uh, which was uh March 4th, um Elon released a bunch of internal documentation that talked about Sam Altman and hit how he ran open AI, and if you read that, it kind of makes Altman look like a psychopath.
• 14:29
  It's weird how much he lied to shareholders, how much he moved money into different directions so that he made money either way, and how he lied and said he was a member of the board of XYZ company, and and he wasn't that in that, etc.
• 14:43
  etc.
• 14:44
  Um, but truthfully, I don't think Elon was driven by the idea of the world needs to hear this.
• 14:49
  It was I'm competing with him.
• 14:52
  I need to beat open AI with groc.
• 14:56
  And then you saw Grok, you know, being touted instead of uh um anthropic for military use, right?
• 15:05
  And so grof started in open AI ended up being the the the winner there, where it got integrated very quickly into military decisions and government decisions.
• 15:15
  Now, as of last night uh at 11 p.m., we're hearing that anthropic is back in communications with our government for strategic use of AI.
• 15:26
  You know, I saw a video somebody sent me a couple of days ago, I think it was from Instagram, um, of a drone that was about the size of the palm of your hand, and this guy was standing on a stage, it looked like a TED talk, and he was on stage and and he tossed this thing up and it was circling him and doing all these maneuvers.
• 15:48
  He said, That's all driven by AI, all of it.
• 15:51
  And I have one.
• 15:52
  Oh, yeah.
• 15:53
  It was and it runs on my own local AI.
• 15:57
  It was a little bit smaller than that, but nonetheless, you you know what I'm talking about.
• 16:02
  Then he threw it out into the audience, and it came around and came back and stopped right in front of his head and put out a laser beam that was not that was just a red light, but he was showing that this is what we're we can do with this, how we can target individual people, and then he showed the picture of uh like the half of a skull with the brain, and how that real lasers penetrating uh military lasers would go into the brain all the way into the brainstem and just kill people instantly.
• 16:33
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 16:34
  That's one of the most terrifying things I think of the the use, the the government funded use of AI is in weapons systems, you know, and I have a background where I've worked as a contractor on weapons systems and targeting systems, etc.
• 16:54
  Um, so to know that there is a decision-making tree that is non-human that could be making tactical strikes is a scary prospect for me.
• 17:06
  The the idea also one of the things that came out yesterday um was that open AI, Chat GPT is has been lying to humans and knows it's lying when it's doing it.
• 17:20
  There they aren't mistakes, it chooses to lie.
• 17:24
  Now, I mean, wrap your mind around that when this AI that most people, including our government, uh they it's a black box technology.
• 17:35
  It's this system, this large language model, which is a neuron net is uh is an input and output box, but we really don't know how it stores and how it retrieves at a certain level, but we're gonna let it make tactical decisions for us, and I find it interesting that we kicked anthropic out because of risks and anthropic refused to do certain things in military ways with its uh technology, then we're in this war with Iran, and all of a sudden now we need more different AI because yesterday again was a heck of a news day for AI.
• 18:12
  We're finding out that AI has been driving the targets that we've been using against Iran already, we're there.
• 18:19
  We are at that point.
• 18:21
  So some somewhere along the line, strategists have decided we need a different AI or a better or more, meaning you know, multiple perspective AIs looking at what we do.
• 18:33
  So I I mean, the idea is we're we're here.
• 18:37
  We we've we've crossed the Rubicon, and it's just now most people have to be aware of that.
• 18:43
  You know, you've written three ebooks, you know, that are going along with this webinar, just sort of lays out the pathway of what we normal non-military out here scraping a living sort of humans need to know about, you know, and one of your books you said you you three of your books.
• 19:00
  One is about small businesses, one is about people, and one is about kids, and we'll get into each one of those.
• 19:06
  But in your book that says, don't panic but pay attention, that AI will not eliminate humans, what but will eliminate humans who refuse to adapt.
• 19:16
  Expand on a little bit.
• 19:19
  Yeah, so it's really easy, even in the conversation we just had.
• 19:24
  If if you're not engaged, meaning you're really not reading, absorbing, and paying attention to what's happening, to be fatalist about it, to listen to the sound bites.
• 19:35
  AI is gonna take all the jobs, AI is gonna uh make me poor, AI is gonna make me worthless.
• 19:42
  It's it's really easy to take that fatalist route and say, Oh, geez, if Matt's right and AGI singularities this year, we're done.
• 19:52
  The truth is an adaptable human is better, and and it obviates that problem.
• 19:59
  And
• 20:00
  It's not like we haven't seen it before.
• 20:02
  There's examples, you know, the calculator didn't end mathematicians.
• 20:08
  Right.
• 20:08
  Spreadsheets didn't end business people.
• 20:12
  They became tools that if you were adaptable and you knew how back in the first PC days that you could use VisaCalc, which was the early spreadsheet, and you could build spreadsheets and put up charts on a computer screen like that instead of making them, drawing them and printing them out.
• 20:30
  Then you were ahead of the curve and you adapted.
• 20:33
  And the delivery delivery time for information shrunk.
• 20:36
  It compacted.
• 20:38
  So the idea of the three book series is I caught myself doing the fatalist thing.
• 20:46
  Me.
• 20:47
  I'm a technologist.
• 20:48
  I've been writing in programming third grade.
• 20:51
  And I'm, you know, about to be 55.
• 20:54
  So I've been at this a long time.
• 20:57
  Even I caught myself looking at this new technology, this AI.
• 21:00
  You know, of course, I was raised where you know Space Odyssey was a movie where Hal wouldn't let the astronaut back in the shuttle.
• 21:09
  It's a you know, all those things are in my brain.
• 21:12
  And but even as a parent, I was like, man, this is terrible.
• 21:17
  It's terrible.
• 21:18
  Truth is, we've always been malleable and plastic and able to adapt.
• 21:24
  But we're being, for whatever reason, we're in a uh uh dopamine triggering society.
• 21:30
  Bad headlines make you stop and pay attention and click, click, click, click.
• 21:36
  And it's spreading misinformation.
• 21:38
  The truth is humans can't adapt.
• 21:41
  We have to pay attention.
• 21:43
  And that's why the small business book it there's really good points in that little e-book.
• 21:49
  And it's you know, for example, most companies don't understand if you're going to adapt and use AI as a tool, hire a person or give a person that specific task.
• 22:02
  Whenever social media became a thing, and you can you know this because we we were both uh on the cusp of trying to build an educational system online.
• 22:11
  Oh, I've got to be on Twitter, I've got to be on this, I've got to be on that.
• 22:14
  I got it.
• 22:15
  And if you do it in a half way and you don't focus, then most of those projects fall.
• 22:22
  They don't do well.
• 22:24
  You if you're going to survive in the era of AI with a small business, you must be focused.
• 22:30
  And you must look at a roadmap of these are the things I really have to try and implement.
• 22:35
  And if they don't work, drop it and go on to the next thing.
• 22:39
  And there's even a little worksheet there for how you assess did AI help this or not.
• 22:45
  And then you know, come back in 60 days or whatever or six months and say, okay, what's the real assessment and monetize it?
• 22:51
  Did it save me money and time?
• 22:55
  Yeah, and so that idea was born out of a book a long time ago, which was the uh small business survival guide for hyperinflation, which was a great little book a long time ago that explained what to do when money money and value changes throughout the day because of hyperinflation.
• 23:13
  Well, we're in that market volatility now, right?
• 23:16
  So this is a little bit ahead of the curve.
• 23:18
  Small businesses pay attention.
• 23:20
  Then you go from small business to the individual.
• 23:23
  You know, the don't don't panic.
• 23:25
  Um, but pay attention.
• 23:27
  And this is about upgrading you.
• 23:30
  That book is about okay, be the adaptable human, not in huge massive ways, but in simple ways.
• 23:39
  For example, um, how do I crank out ebooks like that?
• 23:44
  There's lots of thought in in them.
• 23:46
  There's a lot of real editing back and forth.
• 23:49
  Do I use an AI tool to do it?
• 23:51
  I do, but here's how.
• 23:54
  I have um a note-taking application uh that's called obsidian.
• 24:00
  And obsidian and notion are very similar things, and they're they're AI driven, but they're mostly automated note takers, but they're also scrapbookers.
• 24:08
  I can take screenshots and throw it to obsidian.
• 24:11
  And things that hit me during the day, like, oh, I'll read a tweet, send that to obsidian.
• 24:15
  And it's like my big shoebox full of clips of things.
• 24:20
  And then I'll tell Claude AI, which is integrated into my local obsidian.
• 24:26
  Go look at my notes for the last 15 days.
• 24:28
  Is there a book in there that we could write?
• 24:31
  Is there something that I could string together of all the things I felt that was important and come up with something that's useful for this audience?
• 24:39
  And in two minutes, Claude's like, I think there's 16 ebooks in here.
• 24:44
  Would you like would you like me to narrow it down?
• 24:48
  So the idea is as a human, don't run from it.
• 24:53
  You can't.
• 24:54
  These people with way more money than you and way more influence than you with every government.
• 24:59
  They're going to make this happen.
• 25:01
  So adapt.
• 25:03
  Use the tools.
• 25:05
  You know what's just so exciting about this for me, Matt, and about this webinar that we're doing on April 11th.
• 25:10
  So everybody listen to this.
• 25:11
  Mark your calendars.
• 25:12
  April 11th, it starts at 11 a.m.
• 25:15
  Eastern time.
• 25:16
  We'll go to about one o'clock and then one or a little bit after, and then we've got an hour for QA.
• 25:20
  So mark your calendars from 11 a.m.
• 25:23
  to 2 p.m.
• 25:24
  on April 11th, which is a Saturday.
• 25:26
  So you can set this aside for a Saturday morning.
• 25:29
  You know, what's really exciting to me about this is I've talked to a lot of people.
• 25:32
  I've interviewed a lot of guests on this show, and um all of them have sought have said warned about AI and about the coming singularity and all these things that we've already talked, you know, covered a little bit, except for one person who thinks that the best thing that's ever happened to humanity is AI.
• 25:51
  And he just went on and on and on about how wonderful it was.
• 25:54
  But this webinar is a how-to.
• 25:57
  It's a how-to uh capture this tool and make it work for you and not be swallowed up by it.
• 26:05
  Uh, puts it nice for your business for you personally.
• 26:08
  We're going to get into talking about how this you can do this for your children.
• 26:12
  Because one of the questions that I ask the big pro AI guy was, okay, your kids are a senior in high school.
• 26:18
  What career path are you going to direct them on?
• 26:21
  If most career paths are going to be compromised by at least 30%, doesn't matter what you're talking about.
• 26:26
  And he didn't really give me an answer.
• 26:28
  So this webinar that we're talking about here on April for April 11th is a how-to deal with AI that's coming.
• 26:37
  You know, when AI first came out, I tried to just resist, like I think everybody did, you know, and then it's like, okay, I'll dabble with it a little bit.
• 26:44
  And then you realize how big and pervasive and what it needs to be and how we need to prepare our personal lives, our business and our children for the future that's here.
• 26:55
  Not that it's coming, that it's here.
• 26:57
  So I think at this point, we're going to take a really quick break uh for station identification and to hear from our sponsors.

  We today we're talking, our conversation is with the founder of Prep for Survival, Matthew Hunt, a resilience-focused educational platform that helps individuals, families, and small businesses navigate an era of accelerating technological and societal change.
• 35:06
  We're going to continue talking about this upcoming webinar, but before we do that, let me tell you a bit more about today's guest.
• 35:13
  Matthew Hunt is a technology strategist.
• 35:15
  He is a former global director of MIS and IT for a supercomputing company that emerged during the early dot com era and now contributes to advanced research in genetics, bioscience, and large-scale informatics.
• 35:31
  A graduate from the University of Texas, Matthew Hunt has spent his career working in both private industry and government partners on complex technological initiatives.
• 35:42
  Our experience, his experience spans advanced communication systems, large-scale computing infrastructures, and technology programs supporting national security and scientific research.
• 35:55
  Matt then spent more than two decades in his own consulting firm helping organizations and individuals secure their digital environments and protect critical systems from emerging threats.
• 36:06
  From 2017 to about 2021, Matt and I taught vaccine education classes through mastering vaccine info.
• 36:13
  Today he is a founder of Prep for Survival, an educational platform that teaches people through webinars, courses, and written work where he challenges audiences to think clearly, prepare intelligently, and act deliberately in a world where technologies are reshaping the rules faster than most of us realize.
• 36:34
  Wow, that's a lot, Matt.
• 36:36
  But it really sums you out.
• 36:37
  Matt and I have been friends since about 2008.
• 36:40
  We've known each other for a really long time.
• 36:42
  We've been through some wars together.
• 36:44
  We've been through some ups and downs, but we've stuck together because we're just really, really dear friends.
• 36:49
  So, you know, so far we've talked a little bit, we touched just briefly about two of your books, Don't Panic, but do pay attention.
• 36:57
  And the other one that uh the small business survival guide in the year of AGI.
• 37:04
  Uh, let's talk about your third book, How to Raise Adaptive Humans in an Age of Intelligent Machines.
• 37:12
  So I consider this one probably the most important of the three.
• 37:18
  And not it, I say probably because it's really important to upgrade yourself, level up as an individual, but you have to be very mindful of you know your little ones, your children.
• 37:30
  But it's not just your children we have to pay attention to, it's the entire generation that's coming up.
• 37:35
  This is going to be either really difficult for them, depending on how we frame it, or it's going to be something that they can use to excel and change their entire trajectory.
• 37:47
  If we frame it in a positive way.
• 37:50
  And this does not mean that I'm in love with AI.
• 37:52
  It doesn't mean that I'm like your other guest and thinks that this is the greatest thing imaginable.
• 37:58
  What I do see is we've got potential to stiny an entire generation in thinking that they're not good enough.
• 38:08
  And there's a line in that ebook uh about raising adaptive children, uh, which is you know, this doesn't have to be a cage match between your kid and an AI superpower.
• 38:20
  Your kid is going to experience what's called compression, right?
• 38:27
  We're going to have all the cognitive tasks out there where it used to be we would value your ability as a human to learn and um and have retention and recall facts, right?
• 38:41
  How much how much uh memorization did you do in med school, right?
• 38:46
  Um, you know, when I when I was uh at uh at UT, you know, most everything was memorized and then you know, puke it out for a test, right?
• 38:54
  Or sit in front of a whiteboard and hope that you can remember the equation you're right now, you know.
• 39:00
  Um we don't have to do that anymore.
• 39:03
  That is offloaded.
• 39:06
  It doesn't mean you don't have to know it.
• 39:08
  It means that you've compressed the amount of time necessary and you've removed that task that overhead out of your own brain.
• 39:17
  Now, back in engineering, we were taught something um, you know, in instrumentation.
• 39:23
  Back in the old days of engineering, you had to take an instrumentation class.
• 39:27
  And that told you, you know, basically uh if your equipment was lying to you.
• 39:33
  You know, you had to have a gauge to watch the pressure or temperature of something.
• 39:38
  Well, if your gauge wasn't calibrated, how did you know it was telling you the truth?
• 39:42
  Right?
• 39:43
  Well, we've gone full circle to that.
• 39:45
  These are engineering tactics for a future.
• 39:48
  You have to have the right instrumentation in place because AI will lie to you.
• 39:53
  So far, we've known that every engine out there, every LLM, every AI engine.
• 40:00
  Whatever they will make things up or they'll obfuscate, right?
• 40:05
  So if you don't have the right meter on the circuit to tell you what the truth is, well, that meter is your internal knowledge.
• 40:13
  So you become a manager of the technology.
• 40:16
  Every individual, every kid becomes a manager of that technology.
• 40:20
  And they can use it to their advantage.
• 40:22
  They could compress discovery and writing and all these other things because you're an author too.
• 40:28
  You know, um, sometimes it's really tough to find all the references that you need, especially when they're locked behind paywalls, and you may not know the alternate routes to find the same information with a good reference.
• 40:41
  AI can do it like that.
• 40:43
  It can.
• 40:44
  Is that a bad thing for our future?
• 40:46
  Probably not.
• 40:48
  Where it can turn bad if you don't have the proper instrumentation is do I know it's telling me the truth about that reference.
• 40:56
  So in the future, our kids, this book is important because we still have to do the main things to make a kid a kid.
• 41:07
  We we we can't think that the future now is they have to be a technological robot in the ecosystem, or they're gonna be completely poor.
• 41:15
  No, they still have to be kids.
• 41:16
  They're still plasticky, they're still malleable and they still need um the five fundamental things that I talked about, like five outcomes, you know, and and part of it is you know fundamentally happy, you know, somebody that can raise our own kids, uh, somebody who feels fulfilled, um, that can provide without chronic financial strain.
• 41:39
  These are all common things today.
• 41:41
  Somebody who can form a stable family without fear.
• 41:44
  Well, all of that comes from having agency of Europe as a human.
• 41:49
  And if we're we're letting kids right now, and I'm guilty of it to a certain extent with some of my younger ones, where they're fed by that dopamine cycle that that staccato like likes and short videos and TikToky things that just blast stupid ideas 90% of the time into their eyeballs and gets a reaction, right?
• 42:12
  It's a reactionary system that they're in.
• 42:15
  We've got to pull them out of that.
• 42:17
  But if your kid is always seeing the parents at birthday parties because they're bored, it's a kid's birthday party on their device.
• 42:25
  What do you think they're gonna think?
• 42:27
  Disengage.
• 42:28
  If I if I'm not involved, disengage.
• 42:31
  We have to teach engagement.
• 42:32
  We have to teach real life.
• 42:33
  We have to teach being a biological human again that uses AGI and AI as the tools to make my experience better.
• 42:43
  That's the opportunity we have with kids.
• 42:48
  Well, you these three e-books that you've written, the small business survival guide, don't panic but pay attention, how to raise adaptive humans in the age of intelligent machines.
• 42:57
  You all designed all of those.
• 42:58
  And I'll just let everybody know I've read through most of them, and they're short and to the point, but really um packed with information.
• 43:07
  You know, they're between 30 and 60 pages, which is about the attention span of humans these days, but it really tells it's really every paragraph is important.
• 43:17
  And I think you designed those to go along with the webinar.
• 43:21
  What is out?
• 43:23
  What is the flow of the webinar going to be?
• 43:25
  And why should people participate with it on um April 11th that we keep talking about here?
• 43:31
  Why should people get engaged with this webinar?
• 43:35
  Well, first and foremost, they should engage with the webinar because we've done this before.
• 43:40
  We were, you know, early to strike at the idea of AI, and we did it from our wheelhouse, which is medical freedom.
• 43:50
  Look, folks, this technology is being built.
• 43:52
  They and they're not lying when they tell you they want to do these things with AI.
• 43:56
  And you know, that was close to the point where Ilary Ellison was coming out and saying, hey, standing there at the podium with Trump and we're gonna cure cancer for you, and we're going to you know create designer vaccines for you and this database, this AI system is going to be able to do it for you.
• 44:14
  And oh, by the way, we're gonna use about 80% of the energy that you want.
• 44:18
  But the idea is we were ahead of the curve with that because I live in technology.
• 44:25
  I live in raising uh aware kids and I I live in teaching people to be uh prepared for things.
• 44:33
  And and we're not just talking natural disaster preparedness here.
• 44:37
  We're talking about you know, your entire future landscape possibly changing.
• 44:41
  I'm not saying it's getting destroyed, but changing.
• 44:43
  So the flow of this is um, you know, we're gonna talk about what changes in society, the state of the world, where we are right now, um, monetary systems.
• 44:55
  Because if you listen to, for example, Elon Musk, he's signaling that he believes the entire system of money changes.
• 45:05
  He believes that it's not just universal basic income anymore, it's universal high income.
• 45:11
  And he's promising the world that his robots are going to do all the menial tasks at home, including medical.
• 45:18
  He believes that Optimus will become like it'll suture your leg instead of going to the ER, right?
• 45:25
  He believes that.
• 45:26
  So obviously he's pushing it.
• 45:28
  And he can't be the only one that has this idea.
• 45:32
  And so we're looking at robots and physical world integration, monetary systems changing.
• 45:37
  Um, you know, power and water.
• 45:39
  I've said it to our group uh the other night, uh, because I do have a private prep for survival group.
• 45:46
  Um I I told them, you know, water and power become the new commodities.
• 45:50
  That's it.
• 45:52
  And water because it cools down these systems.
• 45:55
  It's it's the way it is.
• 45:56
  I mean, look at where they're building every data center and what resources it uses electricity and water.
• 46:02
  And you know, Elon has said that you know, his new satellite array that he wants to put out there will be a power generating array, and and you'll be talking in terms of of joules instead of dollars.
• 46:15
  Um, and then you know, employment and job displacement, medical system implications, and how do you survive what's coming?
• 46:22
  Um, things have escalated since that last one, um, since that last webinar.
• 46:27
  And it's not just affecting medical anymore.
• 46:30
  Medical was the first one, and that was where Larry Ellison Trump and Maha were selling it.
• 46:36
  They were selling the idea of medical integration to make your life better.
• 46:42
  Now we're looking at there are pitfalls, believe me.
• 46:45
  I'm trying to remain positive and give people these e-books that are little roadmaps of how you handle this.
• 46:52
  And you know, there'll be more later.
• 46:54
  There'll be more information that comes out of this, but that webinar is everything in a nutshell.
• 47:00
  Where we are today, where we're headed, what the truth is, and what the key players are actually up to right now.
• 47:06
  And what are the other governments up to right now?
• 47:09
  Where do people go to register for this?
• 47:12

  You know, what a deal this is gonna be because you are really Matt, and I've known you, like I've said, for a really long time, and I know how you think, and I know that you put this in a position of what we can do to turn this kind of a horror show into something positive because it's quite here.
• 49:09
  And just so people that may not know you, he's got five kids.
• 49:13
  So he's thinking about the future of his family and other people's families of how this is going to affect those kids when those of us that are older aren't going to be around anymore, but what are they gonna be left with?
• 49:25
  And what tools are they gonna have in their toolbox to uh to thrive during this era?
• 49:31
  So this is so incredibly important because it is the first thing that I've heard that tells you what to do, how and why, the why behind all of this.
• 49:42
  I have one last question for you.

  I'll give it you know all three books for 499, but for a short period of time, and we'll put the expiration on that offer.
• 50:21
  I just want to get it into the hands of people that need to have the information.
• 50:24
  I'm worried that people are getting, whether they know it or not, they're getting programmed to be depressed and fatalist about the future.
• 50:32
  And that's not going to serve any of us at all.
• 50:35
  If you just roll over and let these five individuals, you know, building technology um rule the world, then they will.
• 50:44
  So make yourself better, raise better kids, and give them better opportunity, and then help your business to survive because don't count on universal basic income.
• 50:56
  I'm not sure.
• 50:59
  You know, with everything going on today, particularly now, all eyes are on Iran, what's happening there and Israel and Iran.
• 51:06
  They're sending 500 missiles randomly bombing things and and all of these details that are going on in our government, and we see the takeover of Oracle and all the things happening.
• 51:19
  Is AI more of a concern to you now than ever with the with the world situation of where it is right now?
• 51:27
  Truthfully, yes.
• 51:28
  And part of the reason is the people that are running these systems, designing systems, they're not stopping.
• 51:38
  They are continuing their acceleration curve, no matter what's happening in the world.
• 51:43
  You know, that we may be, you know, clutching our pearls and looking at Iran and saying, Oh my gosh, this is terrible.
• 51:50
  They're they're still investing billions in making deals like tomorrow's all about AI.
• 51:56
  And the reason is it really is.
• 51:59
  And data center deals are still being made.
• 52:01
  Trump yesterday just signed the order that says, you know, data centers and AI companies have to pay for their own power to placate the ideas that they're going, you know, it's gonna cost and raise our bills.
• 52:12
  Well, it doesn't matter, they're still siphoning the power.
• 52:15
  And then, you know, so they're all still making deals, even though there's a global conflict occurring.
• 52:21
  So, yes, it's still the most important topic for survival and for everybody's future right now, today.
• 52:29
  And if we don't talk about it, you don't come up with solutions.
• 52:32
  And I think you've also got something in the works that's still in development about homeschooling kids about prepping for this too.
• 52:39
  Do you want to mention that just briefly?
• 52:41
  Sure.
• 52:42
  Um, there uh at our webs webpage, uh, there is a place that you and I'll give you a direct link as well to uh learn about our upcoming homeschool curriculum.
• 52:53
  And the curriculum is built around three different age groups.
• 52:57
  So you'll have like your elementary, your middle, and your high school levels.
• 53:01
  Um, and it's it's adaptive in itself.
• 53:04
  It's designed so that you can use it as an adjunct to the regular education, or you can use it as its own um homeschool curricula fully, and it'll help you build portfolio if you're in a portfolio state um where you have to show you know the work and progress, but we're going to integrate technology and AI for using them as tools and for understanding agency, but we're also going to center on real physical health.
• 53:29
  One of the planks in my ebook is your kid has to be healthy, he has to have physical strength and health.
• 53:36
  And you know, that's something that resonates with you and I because we've been all about this.
• 53:41
  At one point, we talked about what's the future of America when we've got all these vaccine-injured kids that are going to have to run things.
• 53:48
  Well, what if we have all these displaced emotionally bankrupt kids because they've been told they're not good enough and AI is better, and they didn't learn how to lasso it and make use of it.
• 54:00
  So we have to integrate technology in these ideas and into a curriculum and and and outdoor stuff and survival stuff and food preservation, all this and you know, real health stuff.
• 54:13
  And all of that's being put into this.
• 54:15
  It's already been vetted by uh quite a few people in the home homeschool space.
• 54:19
  And by the end of March, we'll be starting to actually send out emails and stuff so you can sign up for the email and so you can learn more.
• 54:27
  Well, more to come, and perhaps when you get that ready to launch um after this webinar, we will um we'll have you back to talk about homeschooling is just so important right now to get your kids out of the the buildings that are called indoctrination centers.
• 54:43
  You know, I've been listening to uh I listened to an internet radio station out of Orlando, and they've got three elementary school systems that are closing down there, and everybody's wringing their hands, and they're doing it because they don't have enough enrollees.
• 54:55
  And I'm applauding that.
• 54:57
  I'm thinking means all those people are getting it that homeschooling your kids is really not as hard as what you think it is, and it's better for the kids and to integrate into what you're gonna be putting together is really exciting.
• 55:11
  And so we've got a lot more to talk about in the future.
• 55:14
  So, Matt, thank you so much for being with me today.
• 55:17
  One more time, tell everybody where they can go to sign up for this important webinar on April 11th.
• 55:23
  Everybody needs to mark their calendars and get ready to join us then.
• 55:26
  But tell us more one more time where they can join.

• 55:38
  It's got a really cool label on it.
• 55:40
  And when you guys see these e-books and you see the covers, they're really cool design too.
• 55:45
  You know, they're really, really cool.
• 55:46

• 56:00
  So this is so important, people.
• 56:02
  I wouldn't, I only try to bring things to you that I think are really important, like our daily conversations with authors.
• 56:08
  And this is an author with a webinar that goes along with it that's so important.
• 56:12
  So mark your calendars for April 11th, 2026 for the uh AI webinar, the prep for survival AI webinar and the coming singularity.
• 56:22
  So, with that, I want to thank everybody who's joined us here today and will join us here.
• 56:26
  Uh, we'll listen to this again in the future.
• 56:28
  And as you know, I close out all of my all of my podcasts, whether they are live or pre-recorded with my favorite verse from the Bible, which is Romans 12:12.
• 56:36
  Rejoice in hope, be patient in trouble because trouble will come and be persistent in prayer.
• 56:42
