15(light electronic music)
16
175
1800:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,490
19- My name is Johannes,
20and I have a condition.
21
226
2300:01:51,490 --> 00:01:54,150
24I am human.
25
267
2700:01:54,150 --> 00:01:56,560
28I first realized that
29when I fell on my face
30
318
3200:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,321
33on a concrete slab on a beach in Italy.
34
359
3600:02:00,321 --> 00:02:04,610
37I was four, and it was clear to me,
38
3910
4000:02:04,610 --> 00:02:06,710
41beaches cannot be trusted,
42
4311
4400:02:06,710 --> 00:02:11,710
45I hated Italy, and dreams can be broken.
46
4712
4800:02:11,856 --> 00:02:14,447
49The human is a narrative being.
50
5113
5200:02:14,447 --> 00:02:18,330
53We construct emotional
54machines, so-called stories,
55
5614
5700:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,510
58to communicate, to share
59the world in which we live
60
6115
6200:02:21,510 --> 00:02:24,210
63and make it collectively experienceable.
64
6516
6600:02:24,210 --> 00:02:26,067
67And we are pretty good at doing that.
68
6917
7000:02:26,067 --> 00:02:31,067
71Since the primordial soup
72mendelized into primate brains,
73
7418
7500:02:31,190 --> 00:02:33,640
76we have either been fleeing from big cats
77
7819
7900:02:33,640 --> 00:02:36,651
80or telling others about our
81escapes from the clutches
82
8320
8400:02:36,651 --> 00:02:38,704
85of big cats.
86
8721
8800:02:38,704 --> 00:02:41,040
89Sitting around a campfire,
90
9122
9200:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,250
93interpreting and breaking down the world,
94
9523
9600:02:43,250 --> 00:02:45,520
97charging it with meaning,
98
9924
10000:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,970
101regardless of whether the tales
102hold up to a Wikipedia check
103
10425
10500:02:48,970 --> 00:02:49,845
106or not.
107
10826
10900:02:49,845 --> 00:02:52,210
110The human is also a political being,
111
11227
11300:02:52,210 --> 00:02:55,971
114although many members of my
115species don't like that idea.
116
11728
11800:02:55,971 --> 00:02:56,840
119(Wilhelm scream)
120
12129
12200:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,200
123Get used to it.
124
12530
12600:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,360
127You can't avoid being political.
128
12931
13000:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,770
131The moment you choose to
132buy a sugar free Red Bull
133
13432
13500:03:03,770 --> 00:03:06,280
136at Walmart, you commit a political act.
137
13833
13900:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,870
140Same is true when you drag a
141royalty-free hip-hop version
142

151
15236
15300:03:14,906 --> 00:03:18,560
154Politics is the practice
155of distribution of power
156
15737
15800:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,910
159and resources within a given community,
160
16138
16200:03:20,910 --> 00:03:24,690
163as well as the interrelationship
164between communities.
165
16639
16700:03:24,690 --> 00:03:25,523
168Period.
169
17040
17100:03:25,523 --> 00:03:26,356
172(gun firing)
173
17441
17500:03:26,356 --> 00:03:28,383
176We project a certain story onto the world.
177
17842
17900:03:28,383 --> 00:03:32,320
180The story differs if you
181are leftist, a progressive,
182
18343
18400:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,430
185or conservative.
186
18744
18800:03:33,430 --> 00:03:36,660
189But be assured, most people
190I know who call themselves
191
19245
19300:03:36,660 --> 00:03:39,544
194anarchists are just stupid libertarians.
195
19646
19700:03:39,544 --> 00:03:43,160
198We communicate our
199views by using narrative
200
20147
20200:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,932
203and conceptual shortcuts.
204
20548
20600:03:44,932 --> 00:03:49,932
207Abbreviated terms like
208'freedom' or 'privacy,' and so on.
209
21049
21100:03:49,993 --> 00:03:52,127
212These shortcuts are important.
213
21450
21500:03:52,127 --> 00:03:56,060
216If someone had called 'global
217warming' something different,
218
21951
22000:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,220
221let's say 'atmosphere cancer,'
222
22352
22400:03:59,220 --> 00:04:02,830
225we wouldn't have problems
226explaining why it's a bad thing.
227
22853
22900:04:02,830 --> 00:04:05,465
230I always wanted to create a glossary
231
23254
23300:04:05,465 --> 00:04:10,465
234of all-important terms,
235because, Jesus fucking McChrist,
236
23755
23800:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,190
239they are always used and
240abused in comment sections
241
24256
24300:04:14,190 --> 00:04:16,400
244on the World Wide Web.
245
24657
24700:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,580
248I wanted to give some of these
249Golden Calves of Discourse
250
25158
25200:04:20,580 --> 00:04:24,230
253a second look, to explain, re-evaluate,
254
25559
25600:04:24,230 --> 00:04:27,020
257and maybe even sacrifice them.
258
25960
26000:04:27,020 --> 00:04:29,810
261I teamed up with my
262good friend Ishan Raval,
263
26461
26500:04:29,810 --> 00:04:33,020
266who definitely matches me
267in my political nerdiness.
268
26962
27000:04:33,020 --> 00:04:36,303
271I mean, look, we both
272have hands on our chins
273
27463
27500:04:36,303 --> 00:04:38,470
276in our Google profile pics.
277
27864
27900:04:38,470 --> 00:04:39,610
280- [Man] Wahooo!
281
28265
28300:04:39,610 --> 00:04:41,300
284- Pompous little fucks we are.
285
28666
28700:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,645
288And because I know a lot
289of creative performers
290
29167
29200:04:43,645 --> 00:04:46,705
293who would do pretty much
294anything for almost nothing,
295
29668
29700:04:46,705 --> 00:04:48,820
298I decided to make this film.
299
30069
30100:04:48,820 --> 00:04:50,670
302- How much longer do I
303have to hold this shit?
304
30570
30600:04:50,670 --> 00:04:51,503
307It's heavy.
308
30971
31000:04:51,503 --> 00:04:53,630
311- You can put it in your resume!
312
31372
31400:04:53,630 --> 00:04:55,232
315Come on, a little bit longer.
316
31773
31800:04:55,232 --> 00:04:57,318
319- And we use my car.
320
32174
32200:04:57,318 --> 00:05:00,557
323- You're the head of
324transportation fleet, okay?
325
32675
32700:05:00,557 --> 00:05:02,810
328So, well, never forget:
329
33076
33100:05:02,810 --> 00:05:06,220
332You don't hate Italy,
333you hate capitalism.
334
33577
33600:05:06,220 --> 00:05:07,920
337What a big word.
338
33978
34000:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,745
341So big.
342
34379
34400:05:09,745 --> 00:05:11,908
345Capitalism.
346(tone beeping)
347
34880
34900:05:11,908 --> 00:05:13,527
350One of the biggest words I know.
351
35281
35300:05:13,527 --> 00:05:15,660
354And I know a lot of words.
355
35682
35700:05:15,660 --> 00:05:18,320
358There's market, too,
359(tone beeping)
360
36183
36200:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,000
363but that one sounds a bit too mystical
364
36584
36600:05:22,691 --> 00:05:25,394
367Oh, I think that's Brian Ewok!
368
36985
37000:05:25,394 --> 00:05:27,500
371- [Brian Voiceover] Good
372to have a comfy seat
373
37486
37500:05:27,500 --> 00:05:29,160
376at my favorite hipster coffee shop
377
37887
37900:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,782
380and wine bar, enjoying
381free wifi from a network
382
38388
38400:05:31,782 --> 00:05:34,720
385whose password is Helvetica.
386
38789
38800:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,490
389I'm just minding my own business
390
39190
39200:05:36,490 --> 00:05:39,040
393when I get spotted by Madame Juju,
394
39591
39600:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,232
397the friendly hipster coffee
398shop and wine bar owner
399
40092
40100:05:41,232 --> 00:05:43,019
402who does sweat yoga.
403
40493
40500:05:43,019 --> 00:05:45,800
406- [Juju] Hello, how can I help you?
407
40894
40900:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,702
410A double eggnog frappuccino
411with tofu-breaded halibut?
412
41395
41400:05:49,702 --> 00:05:50,760
415- [Brian] There's a sticker
416
41796
41800:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,430
419for the Green Party
420candidate behind the bar.
421
42297
42300:05:53,430 --> 00:05:56,039
424- [Juju] Oh, I love the Greens!
425
42698
42700:05:56,039 --> 00:06:00,729
428So friendly, so caring, so cuddly!
429
43099
43100:06:00,729 --> 00:06:02,910
432- [Brian] Marx once called the State
433
434100
43500:06:02,910 --> 00:06:05,260
436a committee for managing
437the common affairs
438
439101
44000:06:05,260 --> 00:06:06,903
441of the whole bourgeoisie.
442
443102
44400:06:06,903 --> 00:06:09,460
445Thank the non-existing God for it,
446
447103
44800:06:09,460 --> 00:06:11,509
449because where management is possible,
450
451104
45200:06:11,509 --> 00:06:13,763
453so also is mismanagement,
454
455105
45600:06:13,763 --> 00:06:16,442
457and some parts of the bourgeoisie,
458
459106
46000:06:16,442 --> 00:06:19,130
461especially those who do sweat yoga
462
463107
46400:06:19,130 --> 00:06:22,160
465and keep their hearts
466wholesome, might be persuaded
467
468108
46900:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,879
470to use that committee
471against their interests.
472
473109
47400:06:24,879 --> 00:06:26,905
475Basically, there are people
476
477110
47800:06:26,905 --> 00:06:29,380
479who own the means of production,
480
481111
48200:06:29,380 --> 00:06:32,132
483let's say fancy coffee machines or servers
484
485112
48600:06:32,132 --> 00:06:34,280
487or farms or server farms.
488
489113
49000:06:34,280 --> 00:06:36,132
491That's the bourgeoisie.
492
493114
49400:06:36,132 --> 00:06:39,190
495And then there are people who don't own
496
497115
49800:06:39,190 --> 00:06:41,380
499the means of production or capital,
500
501116
50200:06:41,380 --> 00:06:44,050
503so they have to sell
504their work: the workers.
505
506117
50700:06:44,050 --> 00:06:47,318
508That's all the baristas
509and sandwich artists
510
511118
51200:06:47,318 --> 00:06:49,860
513and RyanAir check-in personnel.
514
515119
51600:06:49,860 --> 00:06:54,450
517But even if the bourgeoisie,
518which includes Madame Juju,
519
520120
52100:06:54,450 --> 00:06:57,641
522might not be united in
523its political allegiances,
524
525121
52600:06:57,641 --> 00:06:59,790
527they play the same purpose.
528
529122
53000:06:59,790 --> 00:07:01,178
531It isn't her fault.
532
533123
53400:07:01,178 --> 00:07:03,050
535- [Juju] It isn't my fault!
536
537124
53800:07:03,050 --> 00:07:05,233
539- [Brian] In all corners
540and cortices of her brain,
541
542125
54300:07:05,233 --> 00:07:08,037
544she might just regard this as her job,
545
546126
54700:07:08,037 --> 00:07:12,357
548an innocent livelihood and
549even a community service.
550
551127
55200:07:12,357 --> 00:07:14,700
553- [Juju] Oh absolutely!
554
555128
55600:07:14,700 --> 00:07:16,400
557People love me!
558
559129
56000:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,107
561I am the Maggie Gyllenhaal of
562saffron-based cale frosting!
563
564130
56500:07:21,107 --> 00:07:23,135
566- [Brian] All of that it might be.
567
568131
56900:07:23,135 --> 00:07:27,351
570But capitalism is bigger than
571any of our lives and wills.
572
573132
57400:07:27,351 --> 00:07:31,308
575It produces net effects some
576capitalists don't realize.
577
578133
57900:07:31,308 --> 00:07:34,808
580Madame Juju's heart may
581not be driven by profit,
582
583134
58400:07:34,808 --> 00:07:36,993
585but her business must be.
586
587135
58800:07:36,993 --> 00:07:39,428
589Money must make more money.
590
591136
59200:07:39,428 --> 00:07:41,211
593More money must be made
594
595137
59600:07:41,211 --> 00:07:44,530
597so that it can keep up
598with competing coffee shops
599
600138
60100:07:44,530 --> 00:07:47,270
602and wine bars, which
603are constantly coming up
604
605139
60600:07:47,270 --> 00:07:50,090
607and trying to outperform Madame Juju.
608
609140
61000:07:50,090 --> 00:07:51,991
611- [Juju] It makes me cry!
612
613141
61400:07:51,991 --> 00:07:55,540
615It's not even enough for
616me to earn back the money
617
618142
61900:07:55,540 --> 00:07:57,000
620I invested.
621
622143
62300:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,620
624There has to be a good
625return on investment!
626
627144
62800:08:00,620 --> 00:08:01,670
629- [Brian] Investment?
630
631145
63200:08:02,510 --> 00:08:04,430
633- [Juju] There have to be upgrades
634
635146
63600:08:04,430 --> 00:08:08,230
637to match the latest
638speedy-spicy-sprinkle trends,
639
640147
64100:08:08,230 --> 00:08:11,220
642or to keep paying an increasing rent
643
644148
64500:08:11,220 --> 00:08:13,938
646so that the coffee doesn't
647get more expensive,
648
649149
65000:08:13,938 --> 00:08:16,410
651otherwise everyone will go to
652
653150
65400:08:16,410 --> 00:08:20,117
655Monsieur Dudu's down the street!
656
657151
65800:08:20,117 --> 00:08:21,550
659- [Brian] It's true.
660
661152
66200:08:21,550 --> 00:08:22,828
663His coffee is okay,
664
665153
66600:08:22,828 --> 00:08:26,700
667but his wine selection
668is out of this world!
669
670154
67100:08:26,700 --> 00:08:29,107
672So Madame Juju is forced to cut costs
673
674155
67500:08:29,107 --> 00:08:31,247
676by not protecting the environment,
677
678156
67900:08:31,247 --> 00:08:33,590
680or by paying super-low wages.
681
682157
68300:08:33,590 --> 00:08:35,727
684- [Juju] It is so very sad,
685
686158
68700:08:35,727 --> 00:08:38,806
688but I donate to Amnesty International!
689
690159
69100:08:38,806 --> 00:08:41,500
692- [Brian] Overall, the wealth of the world
693
694160
69500:08:41,500 --> 00:08:43,630
696increases on the side of the capital,
697
698161
69900:08:43,630 --> 00:08:45,977
700be it money uninvested and stagnant--
701
702162
70300:08:45,977 --> 00:08:48,280
704- [Juju] There are some
705trillions of dollars
706
707163
70800:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,010
709around like that today!
710
711164
71200:08:50,010 --> 00:08:52,970
713- [Brian] or the things
714required for and by business.
715
716165
71700:08:52,970 --> 00:08:55,600
718And wealth decreases on
719the side of the world
720
721166
72200:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,260
723where costs are cut,
724
725167
72600:08:57,260 --> 00:08:59,885
727people working for wages
728and the world itself!
729
730168
73100:08:59,885 --> 00:09:02,530
732Take atmosphere cancer.
733
734169
73500:09:02,530 --> 00:09:05,510
736Sadly, it's not capitalism's side effect,
737
738170
73900:09:05,510 --> 00:09:07,687
740but a sign of its normal functioning.
741
742171
74300:09:07,687 --> 00:09:10,403
744The system was, for the last 100 years,
745
746172
74700:09:10,403 --> 00:09:14,305
748running on cheap oil and
749making a huge profit with it.
750
751173
75200:09:14,305 --> 00:09:17,410
753Money still needs to make more money,
754
755174
75600:09:17,410 --> 00:09:20,660
757so more and more things have
758to be exchangeable for money.
759
760175
76100:09:20,660 --> 00:09:24,506
762Everything from gummy
763bears to DNA sequences
764
765176
76600:09:24,506 --> 00:09:27,370
767to carbon dioxide emissions.
768
769177
77000:09:27,370 --> 00:09:30,641
771- [Juju] But Friedman
772says that economic freedom
773
774178
77500:09:30,641 --> 00:09:33,898
776is a precondition for political freedom.
777
778179
77900:09:33,898 --> 00:09:35,690
780- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
781
782180
78300:09:35,690 --> 00:09:37,930
784Not so fast, Madame Juju!
785
786181
78700:09:37,930 --> 00:09:41,390
788Well, freedom is a huge
789word too, yes, yes.
790
791182
79200:09:41,390 --> 00:09:45,450
793But in a capitalist society,
794there's only one freedom,
795
796183
79700:09:45,450 --> 00:09:47,655
798the freedom of the market.
799
800184
80100:09:47,655 --> 00:09:48,590
802(grand orchestral music)
803
804185
80500:09:48,590 --> 00:09:51,330
806- [Brian] At its root, capitalism is based
807
808186
80900:09:51,330 --> 00:09:52,795
810on three simple things.
811
812187
81300:09:52,795 --> 00:09:56,250
814Working for a wage, private ownership
815
816188
81700:09:56,250 --> 00:09:58,693
818or control of the means of production,
819
820189
82100:09:58,693 --> 00:10:02,263
822and production for exchange and profit.
823
824190
82500:10:02,263 --> 00:10:06,113
826And it's all sold with
827the promise of liberty.
828
829191
83000:10:06,113 --> 00:10:07,690
831- [Juju] But that has been true
832
833192
83400:10:07,690 --> 00:10:09,610
835since the beginning of time!
836
837193
83800:10:09,610 --> 00:10:11,430
839- [Brian] Capitalism didn't arise
840
841194
84200:10:11,430 --> 00:10:14,457
843according to natural laws
844that stem from human nature,
845
846195
84700:10:14,457 --> 00:10:17,243
848it was spread by organized violence.
849
850196
85100:10:17,243 --> 00:10:21,300
852The concept of private land
853and means of production
854
855197
85600:10:21,300 --> 00:10:24,084
857might seem like the natural
858state of things now,
859
860198
86100:10:24,084 --> 00:10:28,460
862however we should remember
863it is a human concept.
864
865199
86600:10:28,460 --> 00:10:30,670
867First, in places like England,
868
869200
87000:10:30,670 --> 00:10:33,520
871enclosures drove self-sufficient peasants
872
873201
87400:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,910
875from communal land into the cities
876
877202
87800:10:35,910 --> 00:10:37,710
879to work in factories.
880
881203
88200:10:37,710 --> 00:10:40,115
883Under the reign of Henry VIII alone,
884
885204
88600:10:40,115 --> 00:10:45,115
88772,000 people were
888executed for vagabondage.
889
890205
89100:10:45,270 --> 00:10:46,610
892Is that freedom?
893
894206
89500:10:46,610 --> 00:10:50,600
896Later capitalism was spread
897rapidly and violently
898
899207
90000:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,960
901around the globe.
902
903208
90400:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,991
905Do you remember that
906nice little girl Alice?
907
908209
90900:10:54,991 --> 00:10:56,909
910- [Juju] Oh yes, certainly!
911
912210
91300:10:56,909 --> 00:10:58,393
914Lovely.
915
916211
91700:10:58,393 --> 00:11:00,640
918- [Brian] She fell into Wonderland,
919
920212
92100:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,020
922used its resources, and
923was highly judgemental
924
925213
92600:11:04,020 --> 00:11:05,220
927of the natives.
928
929214
93000:11:05,220 --> 00:11:07,580
931A spoiled British imperialist brat.
932
933215
93400:11:07,580 --> 00:11:10,250
935But the Germans weren't much better.
936
937216
93800:11:10,250 --> 00:11:12,102
939- It's the year 1880.
940
941217
94200:11:12,102 --> 00:11:15,041
943Powerful German merchants
944started to profit
945
946218
94700:11:15,041 --> 00:11:18,579
948from overseas commerce in Asia and Africa.
949
950219
95100:11:18,579 --> 00:11:21,410
952The German Empire supported this expansion
953
954220
95500:11:21,410 --> 00:11:23,831
956by conquering large amounts of land
957
958221
95900:11:23,831 --> 00:11:26,785
960and established so-called 'protectorates.'
961
962222
96300:11:26,785 --> 00:11:30,058
964With fraud, Bible, alcohol, and violence,
965
966223
96700:11:30,058 --> 00:11:34,120
968the German Empire grew
969to a staggering 2.6 million
970
971224
97200:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,405
973square kilometers, five
974times the size of Germany,
975
976225
97700:11:38,405 --> 00:11:41,261
978reaching the third place in colonial power
979
980226
98100:11:41,261 --> 00:11:43,515
982right after England and France.
983
984227
98500:11:43,515 --> 00:11:46,470
986The following sarcastic folk song,
987
988228
98900:11:46,470 --> 00:11:47,943
990written in 1890,
991
992229
99300:11:47,943 --> 00:11:51,133
994has its own perspective on the matter.
995
996230
99700:11:51,133 --> 00:11:52,133
998("Bibel und Flinte")
999
1000231
100100:12:44,733 --> 00:12:45,738
1002(light electronic music)
1003
1004232
100500:12:45,738 --> 00:12:48,328
1006- [Juju] But wait, I like black people!
1007
1008233
100900:12:48,328 --> 00:12:50,498
1010They got the rhythm!
1011
1012234
101300:12:50,498 --> 00:12:54,027
1014Equality and justice for everyone!
1015
1016235
101700:12:54,027 --> 00:12:56,378
1018I don't like the super-rich!
1019
1020236
102100:12:56,378 --> 00:12:59,197
1022The middle-class is under attack!
1023
1024237
102500:12:59,197 --> 00:13:02,729
1026The goddamn politicians are to blame!
1027
1028238
102900:13:02,729 --> 00:13:05,077
1030- [Brian] Most liberal-cosmopolitan folks
1031
1032239
103300:13:05,077 --> 00:13:09,188
1034lack faith in public institutions,
1035ideals, and politicians.
1036
1037240
103800:13:09,188 --> 00:13:12,340
1039The notoriety of left-leaning authors,
1040
1041241
104200:13:12,340 --> 00:13:13,528
1043like Michael Moore or
1044
1045242
104600:13:13,528 --> 00:13:14,510
1047(gasping)
1048
1049243
105000:13:14,510 --> 00:13:17,850
1051Noam Chomsky shows that our fellow humans
1052
1053244
105400:13:17,850 --> 00:13:21,800
1055know very well what Moore
1056claims is the awful truth,
1057
1058245
105900:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,799
1060but they act as if they don't know.
1061
1062246
106300:13:23,799 --> 00:13:27,598
1064We have to realize that
1065everyone is part of the problem.
1066
1067247
106800:13:27,598 --> 00:13:31,448
1069It's our habits, our procedures
1070that keep the game going.
1071
1072248
107300:13:31,448 --> 00:13:33,879
1074There is no good or bad capitalism.
1075
1076249
107700:13:33,879 --> 00:13:37,501
1078Inequality is an integral
1079part of capitalism.
1080
1081250
108200:13:37,501 --> 00:13:41,897
1083Everything, including humans,
1084is treated as mere resource.
1085
1086251
108700:13:41,897 --> 00:13:44,330
1088- [Juju] I like punk rock!
1089
1090252
109100:13:44,330 --> 00:13:46,129
1092I make my own sweaters!
1093
1094253
109500:13:46,129 --> 00:13:48,351
1096I recycle plastic bottles!
1097
1098254
109900:13:48,351 --> 00:13:51,538
1100I enjoy books by Terry Pratchett!
1101
1102255
110300:13:51,538 --> 00:13:54,074
1104I am a Buddhist!
1105
1106256
110700:13:54,074 --> 00:13:55,990
1108- [Brian] That is nice of you,
1109
1110257
111100:13:55,990 --> 00:13:58,169
1112but remember that market driven capitalism
1113
1114258
111500:13:58,169 --> 00:14:01,694
1116musters the quasi-scientific
1117discourses of marketing
1118
1119259
112000:14:01,694 --> 00:14:06,271
1121and public relations, and
1122increasingly, Eastern religion,
1123
1124260
112500:14:06,271 --> 00:14:09,260
1126to recommend products to consumers
1127
1128261
112900:14:09,260 --> 00:14:12,746
1130as necessary means in the
1131liberal pursuit of happiness,
1132
1133262
113400:14:12,746 --> 00:14:16,277
1135self-fulfilment, and personal freedom.
1136
1137263
113800:14:16,277 --> 00:14:21,095
1139- [Johannes] Sometimes there's
1140so much beauty in the world,
1141
1142264
114300:14:21,095 --> 00:14:24,500
1144I feel like I can't take it.
1145
1146265
114700:14:25,590 --> 00:14:28,587
1148- [Juju] Well, capitalism
1149has its downsides!
1150
1151266
115200:14:28,587 --> 00:14:31,680
1153But it's way better than communism!
1154
1155267
115600:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,850
1157That's really bad!
1158
1159268
116000:14:33,850 --> 00:14:35,590
1161It killed people!
1162
1163269
116400:14:35,590 --> 00:14:39,200
1165Even worse, it didn't work.
1166
1167270
116800:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,690
1169- [Brian] Let us quote Marx himself.
1170
1171271
117200:14:41,690 --> 00:14:43,940
1173- "The categorical imperative
1174
1175272
117600:14:43,940 --> 00:14:47,700
1177"is to overthrow all relations
1178in which man is a debased,
1179
1180273
118100:14:47,700 --> 00:14:52,510
1182"enslaved, forsaken, despicable being."
1183
1184274
118500:14:52,510 --> 00:14:55,470
1186- [Brian] This imperative
1187is true for all conditions,
1188
1189275
119000:14:55,470 --> 00:14:58,760
1191even the ones created by
1192perverted misinterpretations
1193
1194276
119500:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,216
1196of his writings.
1197
1198277
119900:15:00,216 --> 00:15:03,016
1200State communism killed a ton of people,
1201
1202278
120300:15:03,016 --> 00:15:06,890
1204and the sad truth is that it
1205was based on the principle
1206
1207279
120800:15:06,890 --> 00:15:09,890
1209of a state, it created forms of property,
1210
1211280
121200:15:09,890 --> 00:15:12,886
1213it had banks, police, even a market.
1214
1215281
121600:15:12,886 --> 00:15:16,454
1217State communism was a badly adapted,
1218
1219282
122000:15:16,454 --> 00:15:19,920
1221botched version of the
1222rules of capitalism.
1223
1224283
122500:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,160
1226We shouldn't shed a tear for it.
1227
1228284
122900:15:22,160 --> 00:15:22,993
1230- [Juju] True!
1231
1232285
123300:15:22,993 --> 00:15:26,322
1234And socialism penalizes high achievers,
1235
1236286
123700:15:26,322 --> 00:15:31,322
1238rewards laziness, cuts
1239freedom, and stifles choice.
1240
1241287
124200:15:31,340 --> 00:15:32,173
1243Ayn Rand says--
1244
1245288
124600:15:32,173 --> 00:15:34,512
1247- [Brian] Ayn Rand died on welfare!
1248
1249289
125000:15:34,512 --> 00:15:37,454
1251- [Juju] But socialism
1252stifles competition,
1253
1254290
125500:15:37,454 --> 00:15:40,357
1256impeding technological progress!
1257
1258291
125900:15:40,357 --> 00:15:45,357
1260- May I jump in and remark
1261
1262292
126300:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
1264that one of the largest
1265cooperative projects
1266
1267293
126800:15:51,690 --> 00:15:55,899
1269and planned economies was,
1270
1271294
127200:15:55,899 --> 00:15:58,363
1273ironically,
1274
1275295
127600:15:59,223 --> 00:16:02,460
1277the Apollo project
1278
1279296
128000:16:02,460 --> 00:16:05,970
1281to put a middle-class American
1282
1283297
128400:16:05,970 --> 00:16:07,033
1285on the moon.
1286
1287298
128800:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,721
1289So, let's have a broader look
1290
1291299
129200:16:11,721 --> 00:16:13,138
1293at technology and
1294
1295300
129600:16:15,239 --> 00:16:16,239
1297competition.
1298
1299301
130000:16:17,454 --> 00:16:20,539
1301(grand orchestral music)
1302
1303302
130400:16:20,539 --> 00:16:22,477
1305Aaaaah, I'm at 6 g.
1306
1307303
130800:16:22,477 --> 00:16:23,927
1309Excuse me for a moment.
1310
1311304
131200:16:23,927 --> 00:16:26,177
1313(stertorous breathing)
1314
1315305
131600:16:31,820 --> 00:16:34,380
1317- [Cerebral Cortex] This
1318is Hans Platzgaumer.
1319
1320306
132100:16:34,380 --> 00:16:37,520
1322He enjoys craft beer and gory movies
1323
1324307
132500:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,184
1326in the Italian tradition.
1327
1328308
132900:16:39,184 --> 00:16:40,740
1330- Oh.
1331
1332309
133300:16:40,740 --> 00:16:43,549
1334- [Cerebral Cortex] And
1335he is a passionate gamer.
1336
1337310
133800:16:43,549 --> 00:16:44,382
1339- Jesus.
1340
1341311
134200:16:46,386 --> 00:16:48,636
1343(grunting)
1344
1345312
134600:16:49,940 --> 00:16:52,877
1347You're going to need
1348some lube and a tow truck
1349
1350313
135100:16:52,877 --> 00:16:55,745
1352to pull my boot out of your ass.
1353
1354314
135500:16:55,745 --> 00:16:57,920
1356(laughing)
1357
1358315
135900:16:57,920 --> 00:16:58,780
1360- [Cerebral Cortex] Do you have a minute
1361
1362316
136300:16:58,780 --> 00:17:00,560
1364to talk about something important?
1365
1366317
136700:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,420
1368- Huh, where is that voice coming from?
1369
1370318
137100:17:03,420 --> 00:17:05,580
1372- [Cerebral Cortex] I
1373am your cerebral cortex.
1374
1375319
137600:17:05,580 --> 00:17:07,250
1377Listen.
1378
1379320
138000:17:07,250 --> 00:17:08,300
1381- That's weird.
1382
1383321
138400:17:08,300 --> 00:17:09,920
1385- [Cerebral Cortex] Through the dark
1386
1387322
138800:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,651
1389and not so dark millennia
1390of human history,
1391
1392323
139300:17:12,651 --> 00:17:16,323
1394we have organized ourselves
1395into adversarial cliques,
1396
1397324
139800:17:16,323 --> 00:17:18,490
1399communities, and nations.
1400
1401325
140200:17:18,490 --> 00:17:22,222
1403World events were like
1404deadly ping pong balls
1405
1406326
140700:17:22,222 --> 00:17:26,193
1408hurdling towards us, and
1409these groups were the paddles
1410
1411327
141200:17:26,193 --> 00:17:28,640
1413whose goal it was to knock the ball
1414
1415328
141600:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,007
1417into someone else's court.
1418
1419329
142000:17:31,007 --> 00:17:33,721
1421- What a crazy-ass metaphor.
1422
1423330
142400:17:33,721 --> 00:17:35,700
1425- [Cerebral Cortex] Add military might
1426
1427331
142800:17:35,700 --> 00:17:39,240
1429as the means to hold in
1430place a lopsided system
1431
1432332
143300:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,853
1434of distribution, in which
1435workers create more and more
1436
1437333
143800:17:42,853 --> 00:17:47,280
1439economic value for wages
1440that never quite grow
1441
1442334
144300:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,093
1444at the same rate, and lo,
1445competition became the fabric
1446
1447335
144800:17:52,093 --> 00:17:54,963
1449in which everyday life was dressed.
1450
1451336
145200:17:54,963 --> 00:17:56,732
1453The technology necessary
1454
1455337
145600:17:56,732 --> 00:17:58,968
1457for global cooperation did not exist.
1458
1459338
146000:17:58,968 --> 00:18:00,601
1461(phone ringing)
1462
1463339
146400:18:00,601 --> 00:18:02,943
1465Competition was thus established
1466
1467340
146800:18:02,943 --> 00:18:06,341
1469as the default way of
1470interacting with the world.
1471
1472341
147300:18:06,341 --> 00:18:11,045
1474In its genteel form, competition
1475meant nobody got killed.
1476
1477342
147800:18:11,045 --> 00:18:16,015
1479Gladiators turned to soccer
1480or turned to table tennis.
1481
1482343
148300:18:16,015 --> 00:18:20,719
1484By 1972, computers became advanced enough
1485
1486344
148700:18:20,719 --> 00:18:25,719
1488to simulate competitive
1489games, and PONG was born.
1490
1491345
149200:18:25,763 --> 00:18:26,880
1493- PONG?
1494
1495346
149600:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,181
1497Woah!
1498
1499347
150000:18:28,181 --> 00:18:30,943
1501- [Cerebral Cortex] Humans
1502are a competitive species,
1503
1504348
150500:18:30,943 --> 00:18:34,583
1506but we shouldn't forget that
1507cooperation and altruism
1508
1509349
151000:18:34,583 --> 00:18:37,558
1511are as much hardwired into our brains.
1512
1513350
151400:18:37,558 --> 00:18:39,910
1515- But what does that have to do
1516
1517351
151800:18:39,910 --> 00:18:41,845
1519with that old school video game?
1520
1521352
152200:18:41,845 --> 00:18:44,210
1523- [Cerebral Cortex] If we
1524don't want the PONG ball
1525
1526353
152700:18:44,210 --> 00:18:46,900
1528to go off the table, we
1529can program the computer
1530
1531354
153200:18:46,900 --> 00:18:51,078
1533to control the paddles
1534better than any human can.
1535
1536355
153700:18:51,078 --> 00:18:53,897
1538Our desire to play competitive PONG
1539
1540356
154100:18:53,897 --> 00:18:57,051
1542versus other humans through
1543obsolete hand operation
1544
1545357
154600:18:57,051 --> 00:19:01,741
1547is nothing but a vain
1548show of one-upmanship.
1549
1550358
155100:19:01,741 --> 00:19:04,600
1552There's no other point
1553to competitive gaming
1554
1555359
155600:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,985
1557in the computer age.
1558
1559360
156000:19:05,985 --> 00:19:07,618
1561- What the actual fuck!
1562
1563361
156400:19:07,618 --> 00:19:09,389
1565Fuck! FUCK!
1566
1567362
156800:19:09,389 --> 00:19:11,720
1569- [Cerebral Cortex] That's
1570just your limbic system
1571
1572363
157300:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,043
1574trying to interfere.
1575
1576364
157700:19:13,043 --> 00:19:14,661
1578Pay attention to me!
1579
1580365
158100:19:14,661 --> 00:19:17,943
1582Technology could save us if we'd let it.
1583
1584366
158500:19:17,943 --> 00:19:22,060
1586There is enough material wealth
1587for everyone on the planet
1588
1589367
159000:19:22,060 --> 00:19:25,830
1591to have a sturdy home
1592and a steady food supply,
1593
1594368
159500:19:25,830 --> 00:19:29,493
1596if we stop competing and
1597use our global communication
1598
1599369
160000:19:29,493 --> 00:19:33,938
1601and computation capabilities
1602to level the playing field.
1603
1604370
160500:19:33,938 --> 00:19:36,913
1606- But competition is wonderful!
1607
1608371
160900:19:36,913 --> 00:19:40,950
1610I have come here to chew
1611bubblegum and kick ass
1612
1613372
161400:19:40,950 --> 00:19:42,630
1615and I'm all out of bubblegum.
1616
1617373
161800:19:42,630 --> 00:19:44,151
1619- [Cerebral Cortex] Competitive systems,
1620
1621374
162200:19:44,151 --> 00:19:46,930
1623such as evolution and capitalism,
1624
1625375
162600:19:46,930 --> 00:19:50,168
1627are terrific at creating
1628unpredictable change very quickly.
1629
1630376
163100:19:50,168 --> 00:19:52,640
1632It's the trial-by-error system.
1633
1634377
163500:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,299
1636If you're looking for a
1637wide variety of output,
1638
1639378
164000:19:56,299 --> 00:19:58,851
1641competitive systems are the best.
1642
1643379

2192
2193505
219400:27:21,742 --> 00:27:24,015

2196
2197506
219800:27:24,015 --> 00:27:25,569
2199The dollars.
2200

2203- [Customer] Thank you very much.
2204
2205508
220600:27:27,340 --> 00:27:30,870
2207And now, I would like to
2208exchange these to euros.
2209
2210509
221100:27:30,870 --> 00:27:32,300
2212- [Bank] We can cancel that.
2213
2214510
221500:27:32,300 --> 00:27:33,340
2216- [Customer] No.
2217
2218511
221900:27:33,340 --> 00:27:35,130
2220- [Bank] But you'll take a loss on that.
2221
2222512
222300:27:35,130 --> 00:27:37,247
2224- [Customer] Well, that's
2225the nature of things.
2226
2227513
222800:27:37,247 --> 00:27:39,700
2229- [Bank] 44 euros, there you are.
2230
2231514
223200:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,970
2233- [Customer] Ah, the leftovers.
2234
2235515
223600:27:41,970 --> 00:27:44,237
2237- [Bank] So, this is your 35 dollars.
2238
2239516
224000:27:44,237 --> 00:27:47,723
2241- [Customer] Fine, I'll have
2242these exchanged to euros then.
2243
2244517
224500:27:47,723 --> 00:27:48,773
2246- [Bank] Uh-huh.
2247
2248518
224900:27:48,773 --> 00:27:51,449
2250So, there's the 31.35 for you.
2251
2252519
225300:27:51,449 --> 00:27:54,305
2254- [Customer] I'll
2255exchange them for dollars.
2256
2257520
225800:27:54,305 --> 00:27:56,340
2259- [Bank] Have you got some change left?
2260
2261521
226200:27:56,340 --> 00:27:58,180
2263I need 87 cents.
2264
2265522
226600:27:58,180 --> 00:27:59,230
2267- [Customer] Okay.

2272
2273524
227400:28:00,970 --> 00:28:03,880
2275- [Customer] Well, can you
2276exchange them for euros then?
2277
2278525
227900:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,960
2280- [Bank] 23 euros 59.
2281
2282526
228300:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,130
2284- [Customer] Fine by me.
2285
2286527
228700:28:07,130 --> 00:28:09,812
2288All right, let's exchange
2289that for dollars.
2290
2291528
229200:28:09,812 --> 00:28:11,240
2293What will that be?
2294
2295529
229600:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,080
2297- [Bank] I need 23.50.
2298
2299530
230000:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,630
2301- [Customer] That was 19, okay.
2302
2303531
230400:28:15,630 --> 00:28:18,060
2305Can I get euros for this, please?
2306
2307532
230800:28:18,060 --> 00:28:20,330
2309And I'll have dollars for that.

2313- [Bank] 11 dollars.
2314
2315534
231600:28:21,740 --> 00:28:22,810
2317- [Customer] I see, fine.
2318
2319535
232000:28:22,810 --> 00:28:24,060
2321In euros please.
2322
2323536
232400:28:24,060 --> 00:28:24,893
2325Thanks.
2326
2327537
232800:28:24,893 --> 00:28:26,130
2329- [Bank] Let's have a look.
2330
2331538
233200:28:26,130 --> 00:28:28,580
2333- [Customer] I'd like
2334these exchanged to dollars.
2335
2336539
233700:28:28,580 --> 00:28:30,400
2338- [Bank] We'll be done in no time now.
2339
2340540
234100:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,000
2342- [Customer] I'll have these
23434 exchanged then, please.
2344
2345541
234600:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,040
2347- [Bank] 40 cents.
2348
2349542
235000:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,270
2351- [Customer] You can't change this?
2352
2353543
235400:28:35,270 --> 00:28:36,103
2355- [Bank] No.
2356
2357544
235800:28:36,103 --> 00:28:37,970
2359- [Customer] Okay, I will
2360bid you thanks, then.
2361
2362545
236300:28:37,970 --> 00:28:39,064
2364- [Bank] You're welcome.
2365
2366546
236700:28:39,064 --> 00:28:42,397
2368(cash register ringing)
2369
2370547
237100:28:45,580 --> 00:28:48,219
2372- The worldwide amount of
2373cash, in coins and banknotes,
2374
2375548
237600:28:48,219 --> 00:28:51,040
2377is 20 trillion euros.
2378
2379549
238000:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,240
2381So, imagine to change that
2382amount, from euros to dollars
2383
2384550
238500:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,250
2386to euros to dollars, back
2387and forth, back and forth.
2388
2389551
239000:28:58,250 --> 00:29:00,480
2391How many times would it take
2392
2393552
239400:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,903
2395for fees to eat up all that cash?
2396
2397553
239800:29:04,300 --> 00:29:05,143
2399Well, guess.
2400
2401554
240200:29:07,660 --> 00:29:09,133
2403Here is the formula.
2404
2405555
240600:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,610
2407We put it into an Excel sheet.
2408
2409556
241000:29:13,610 --> 00:29:16,392
2411And the answer is 849 times,
2412
2413557
241400:29:16,392 --> 00:29:18,562
241518 cents remain.
2416
2417558
241800:29:18,562 --> 00:29:22,637
2419And 2 cents get eaten by
2420Microsoft Excel rounding errors.
2421
2422559
242300:29:22,637 --> 00:29:23,470
2424(computer blipping)
2425
2426560
242700:29:23,470 --> 00:29:24,823
2428But Microsoft always gets its fair share.
2429
2430561
243100:29:26,008 --> 00:29:27,046
2432I need a break.
2433
2434562
243500:29:27,046 --> 00:29:27,879
2436(light electronic music)
2437
2438563
243900:29:27,879 --> 00:29:29,824
2440I don't know why I keep
2441returning to coffee shops.
2442
2443564
244400:29:29,824 --> 00:29:32,180
2445I don't even like coffee.
2446
2447565
244800:29:32,180 --> 00:29:33,780
2449I'm a bad Austrian.
2450
2451566
245200:29:33,780 --> 00:29:37,270
2453Well, at least this one
2454is a hipster-free zone.
2455
2456567
245700:29:37,270 --> 00:29:38,914
2458- Waiter!
2459
2460568
246100:29:38,914 --> 00:29:43,914
2462Hello, Herr Walter, I'd
2463like one scandal, please.
2464
2465569
246600:29:44,570 --> 00:29:46,513
2467- Certainly, Frau Schlammpeitzinger.
2468
2469570
247000:29:46,513 --> 00:29:50,331
2471We have a prescription drug
2472scandal, a healthcare scandal,
2473
2474571
247500:29:50,331 --> 00:29:52,810
2476or a corruption scandal.
2477
2478572
247900:29:52,810 --> 00:29:54,703
2480Each topped with whipped cream.
2481
2482573
248300:29:54,703 --> 00:29:56,940
2484- No art scandal?
2485
2486574
248700:29:56,940 --> 00:29:57,900
2488- No, madame.
2489
2490575
249100:29:57,900 --> 00:30:00,495
2492- Oh, what a disappointment!
2493
2494576
249500:30:00,495 --> 00:30:03,298
2496How I would love an art scandal!
2497
2498577
249900:30:03,298 --> 00:30:05,760
2500- That might be a little
2501difficult, madame.
2502
2503578
250400:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,179
2505We no longer live in the '60s.
2506
2507579
250800:30:07,179 --> 00:30:08,052
2509- Oh please!
2510
2511580
251200:30:08,052 --> 00:30:11,380
2513Just a couple of years ago
2514there was one in Salzburg,
2515
2516581
251700:30:11,380 --> 00:30:15,158
2518the one with the plasticine
2519penis on that horse!
2520
2521582
252200:30:15,158 --> 00:30:17,693
2523And what about Sargnagel!
2524
2525583
252600:30:17,693 --> 00:30:19,240
2527- And that is what madame
2528
2529584
253000:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,870
2531would consider a proper art scandal?
2532
2533585
253400:30:20,870 --> 00:30:21,703
2535Please!
2536
2537586
253800:30:21,703 --> 00:30:23,280
2539If madame would allow me a remark,
2540
2541587
254200:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,690
2543the longevity of such a
2544scandal is negligible,
2545
2546588
254700:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,590
2548on a par with a mere second on Twitter.
2549
2550589
255100:30:27,590 --> 00:30:29,360
2552We'll catch hell from
2553the health department
2554
2555590
255600:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,050
2557if we serve you something like that.
2558
2559591
256000:30:31,050 --> 00:30:32,519
2561A poor excuse for an art scandal.
2562
2563592
256400:30:32,519 --> 00:30:33,742
2565- Come on.
2566
2567593
256800:30:33,742 --> 00:30:37,170
2569This may be the last time I am in Vienna,
2570
2571594
257200:30:37,170 --> 00:30:42,109
2573and I want my art scandal,
2574like old times, 1968,
2575
2576595
257700:30:42,109 --> 00:30:45,292
2578'Uniferkelei'... you know, when
2579the Viennese Actionists
2580
2581596
258200:30:45,292 --> 00:30:48,372
2583shat on a desk at the university.
2584
2585597
258600:30:48,372 --> 00:30:50,317
2587Something risqué.
2588
2589598
259000:30:50,317 --> 00:30:54,590
2591I'm an elderly woman and
2592I am used to a certain level
2593
2594599
259500:30:54,590 --> 00:30:57,110
2596of artistic extravagance!
2597
2598600
259900:30:57,110 --> 00:30:58,560
2600- I see, I see.
2601
2602601
260300:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,440
2604However, if that is what you're after,
2605
2606602
260700:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,689
2608you'd have to live in
2609a disciplinary society
2610
2611603
261200:31:02,689 --> 00:31:05,399
2613and you're in the wrong place for that.
2614
2615604
261600:31:05,399 --> 00:31:09,120
2617- Would you kindly explain,
2618the last philosopher
2619
2620605
262100:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,790
2622I read was Habermas in 1975!
2623
2624606
262500:31:11,790 --> 00:31:13,718
2626- Let's explain discipline.
2627
2628607
262900:31:13,718 --> 00:31:15,490
2630In the course of a lifetime,
2631
2632608
263300:31:15,490 --> 00:31:17,720
2634an individual switches
2635from one closed framework
2636
2637609
263800:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,430
2639of confinement to another,
2640
2641610
264200:31:19,430 --> 00:31:21,661
2643where each one operates
2644according to its own laws,
2645
2646611
264700:31:21,661 --> 00:31:23,900
2648from the family to the school,
2649
2650612
265100:31:23,900 --> 00:31:26,491
2652then to university or
2653factory or the military,
2654
2655613
265600:31:26,491 --> 00:31:28,600
2657from time to time to the hospital
2658
2659614
266000:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,860
2661and eventually to the
2662quintessential framework
2663
2664615
266500:31:30,860 --> 00:31:32,840
2666of confinement, the prison.
2667
2668616
266900:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,589
2670The function is always clear,
2671discipline and punishment.
2672
2673617
267400:31:36,589 --> 00:31:39,107
2675- And how does one go about escaping?
2676
2677618
267800:31:39,107 --> 00:31:41,493
2679I can imagine that must be difficult.
2680
2681619
268200:31:41,493 --> 00:31:44,447
2683- It is indeed difficult as
2684you say, but not impossible.
2685
2686620
268700:31:44,447 --> 00:31:46,987
2688Discipline and punishment
2689are certainly effective,
2690
2691621
269200:31:46,987 --> 00:31:49,731
2693yet at least they produce
2694an inner resistance,
2695
2696622
269700:31:49,731 --> 00:31:53,060
2698as well as the possibility
2699to avoid either.
2700
2701623
270200:31:53,060 --> 00:31:55,190
2703It's hard to monitor in absolute terms,
2704
2705624
270600:31:55,190 --> 00:31:56,870
2707and there are always ways of avoiding,
2708
2709625
271000:31:56,870 --> 00:32:00,820
2711if not hacking and ridiculing
2712these mechanisms of control.
2713
2714626
271500:32:00,820 --> 00:32:02,610
2716Let's take work as an example.
2717
2718627
271900:32:02,610 --> 00:32:04,930
2720You hate your boss, he
2721commands you all the time,
2722
2723628
272400:32:04,930 --> 00:32:06,310
2725he doesn't pay you enough,
2726
2727629
272800:32:06,310 --> 00:32:08,620
2729so you look for loopholes and niches
2730
2731630
273200:32:08,620 --> 00:32:12,260
2733like long trips to the toilet,
2734theft of work materials,
2735
2736631
273700:32:12,260 --> 00:32:14,620
2738misuse of hard and software, sick leave,
2739
2740632
274100:32:14,620 --> 00:32:15,920
2742pretending to look busy,
2743
2744633
274500:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,900
2746playing dumb.
2747
2748634
274900:32:16,900 --> 00:32:18,263
2750- I want my art scandal?
2751
2752635
275300:32:18,263 --> 00:32:21,190
2754- Forgive me, madame, you
2755don't seem to understand.
2756
2757636
275800:32:21,190 --> 00:32:24,430
2759We are not really living in a
2760disciplinary society anymore.
2761
2762637
276300:32:24,430 --> 00:32:26,701
2764The world is changing
2765into a control society.
2766
2767638
276800:32:26,701 --> 00:32:30,360
2769For example, surveillance
2770cameras now have stickers on them
2771
2772639
277300:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,703
2774that read: "Smile, you are on camera!"
2775
2776640
277700:32:32,703 --> 00:32:34,625
2778It's friendly and embracing!
2779
2780641
278100:32:34,625 --> 00:32:37,845
2782Or, Google created a free
2783augmented reality game
2784
2785642
278600:32:37,845 --> 00:32:41,000
2787called INGRESS that is played and loved
2788
2789643
279000:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,800
2791by millions of people.
2792
2793644
279400:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,354
2795The players don't realize that
2796they are actually entering
2797
2798645
279900:32:45,354 --> 00:32:48,780
2800geographical information
2801that Google uses and sells.
2802
2803646
280400:32:48,780 --> 00:32:51,810
2805Google turned expensive,
2806labor-intensive data entry
2807
2808647
280900:32:51,810 --> 00:32:54,670
2810into a game, and now
2811people work for them free,
2812
2813648
281400:32:54,670 --> 00:32:55,891
2815without even knowing.
2816
2817649
281800:32:55,891 --> 00:32:58,710
2819One of the best examples
2820is my old religious studies
2821
2822650
282300:32:58,710 --> 00:33:00,060
2824book from the 1980s.
2825
2826651
282700:33:00,060 --> 00:33:03,101
2828It propagated a responsible
2829treatment of sexuality,
2830
2831652
283200:33:03,101 --> 00:33:05,910
2833instead of the age-old catechistic way.
2834
2835653
283600:33:05,910 --> 00:33:08,330
2837Masturbation was suddenly okay,
2838
2839654
284000:33:08,330 --> 00:33:10,797
2841but you had to do it in a 'responsible' way.
2842
2843655
284400:33:10,797 --> 00:33:13,230
2845Madame, I hope you can understand
2846
2847656
284800:33:13,230 --> 00:33:16,224
2849that it isn't possible to
2850maintain a 'responsible' erection!
2851
2852657
285300:33:16,224 --> 00:33:20,400
2854It was all a perfidious
2855trick to internalize control.
2856
2857658
285800:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,140
2859- Smiling, playing, masturbating?
2860
2861659
286200:33:24,700 --> 00:33:27,100
2863- The moment a person
2864internalizes the control,
2865
2866660
286700:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,210
2868making it an integral part
2869of their psychological makeup
2870
2871661
287200:33:30,210 --> 00:33:33,510
2873and their thinking, it becomes absolute.
2874
2875662
287600:33:33,510 --> 00:33:35,980
2877There is no longer anything
2878external to that control.
2879
2880663
288100:33:35,980 --> 00:33:37,980
2882You don't have to be
2883told to behave anymore.
2884
2885664
288600:33:37,980 --> 00:33:40,948
2887You want to behave because
2888you think it's good for you.
2889
2890665
289100:33:40,948 --> 00:33:43,276
2892And it is very hard to subvert yourself.
2893
2894666
289500:33:43,276 --> 00:33:47,070
2896This is especially perfidious
2897for your bread-winning job.
2898
2899667
290000:33:47,070 --> 00:33:49,300
2901Your boss is your friend nowadays,
2902
2903668
290400:33:49,300 --> 00:33:51,730
2905because it makes it easier to exploit you.
2906
2907669
290800:33:51,730 --> 00:33:53,960
2909Workers, now called employees,
2910
2911670
291200:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,230
2913begin to identify with
2914the corporate identity
2915
2916671
291700:33:56,230 --> 00:33:58,500
2918of the firm itself, resulting in a kind of
2919
2920672
292100:33:58,500 --> 00:34:00,515
2922spiritual share in the company.
2923
2924673
292500:34:00,515 --> 00:34:02,409
2926Did you know that many corporations now
2927
2928674
292900:34:02,409 --> 00:34:04,170
2930have their own anthems?
2931
2932675
293300:34:04,170 --> 00:34:05,860
2934Look, here is the one of Gazprom,
2935
2936676
293700:34:05,860 --> 00:34:08,646
2938performed by Vladimir Tumayev.
2939
2940677
294100:34:08,646 --> 00:34:11,896
2942(light acoustic music)
2943
2944678
294500:35:00,347 --> 00:35:03,210
2946- Neoliberal Russian drinking songs!
2947
2948679
294900:35:03,210 --> 00:35:04,750
2950This is too much!
2951
2952680
295300:35:04,750 --> 00:35:06,723
2954I don't even like rum in my tea!
2955
2956681
295700:35:06,723 --> 00:35:10,363
2958My doctor tells me I don't
2959have much longer to live,
2960
2961682
296200:35:10,363 --> 00:35:13,373
2963and just once more I
2964would love to experience
2965
2966683
296700:35:13,373 --> 00:35:16,940
2968a genuine art scandal!
2969
2970684
297100:35:16,940 --> 00:35:18,610
2972- Where there are distinct boundaries,
2973
2974685
297500:35:18,610 --> 00:35:20,680
2976where there are established social codes,
2977
2978686
297900:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,483
2980that's where one can effectively
2981take action against them.
2982
2983687
298400:35:23,483 --> 00:35:26,832
2985Where there is a wall,
2986there is a hammer that fits.
2987
2988688
298900:35:26,832 --> 00:35:28,283
2990Cast your mind back.
2991
2992689
299300:35:28,283 --> 00:35:31,400
2994The police once arrested members
2995of the Viennese Actionists
2996
2997690
299800:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,410
2999for painting with blood or similar things.
3000
3001691
300200:35:33,410 --> 00:35:36,327
3003The outrage, a great word, of the public.
3004
3005692
300600:35:36,327 --> 00:35:38,820
3007Now, if you will consider the context
3008
3009693
301000:35:38,820 --> 00:35:39,996
3011of the 1960s.
3012(tone beeping)
3013
3014694
301500:35:39,996 --> 00:35:42,431
3016A substantial Catholic
3017society living in Austria!
3018
3019695
302000:35:42,431 --> 00:35:44,890
3021Nowadays, if you want to put on
3022
3023696
302400:35:44,890 --> 00:35:47,010
3025a blood-painting performance,
3026you would probably
3027
3028697
302900:35:47,010 --> 00:35:48,742
3030not even come up on the Facebook timeline
3031
3032698
303300:35:48,742 --> 00:35:50,590
3034of a Slovak tourist.
3035
3036699
303700:35:50,590 --> 00:35:53,171
3038- But waiter, that's still no excuse!
3039
3040700
304100:35:53,171 --> 00:35:56,788
3042If one looks for it,
3043one can find a boundary.
3044
3045701
304600:35:56,788 --> 00:35:59,261
3047There are always boundaries.
3048
3049702
305000:35:59,261 --> 00:36:02,411
3051Because look, say I were to grab a pretzel
3052
3053703
305400:36:02,411 --> 00:36:06,312
3055and stick it in my rather
3056old cunt for all to see.
3057
3058704
305900:36:06,312 --> 00:36:08,790
3060I think that's a case in which
3061
3062705
306300:36:08,790 --> 00:36:11,670
3064one might call it a transgression.
3065
3066706
306700:36:11,670 --> 00:36:13,224
3068- Naturally, you could do that.
3069
3070707
307100:36:13,224 --> 00:36:16,807
3072But the boundaries that you are
3073transgressing are arbitrary.
3074
3075708
307600:36:16,807 --> 00:36:19,670
3077And as far as Austria is concerned,
3078
3079709
308000:36:19,670 --> 00:36:21,796
3081and I mean Austria as a social entity,
3082
3083710
308400:36:21,796 --> 00:36:23,914
3085I think it couldn't care less.
3086
3087711
308800:36:23,914 --> 00:36:26,581
3089(siren wailing)
3090
3091712
309200:36:27,777 --> 00:36:28,670
3093- I am fading!
3094
3095713
309600:36:28,670 --> 00:36:31,800
3097- Calm down, madame,
3098drink a glass of water!
3099
3100714
310100:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,910
3102A scandal must involve
3103an outrage in the sense
3104
3105715
310600:36:34,910 --> 00:36:36,593
3107of a moral and passionate response.
3108
3109716
311000:36:36,593 --> 00:36:39,770
3111In a world of micro-societies
3112and niche capital,
3113
3114717
311500:36:39,770 --> 00:36:41,987
3116it is hard to hold a mirror to society.
3117
3118718
311900:36:41,987 --> 00:36:45,664
3120- But waiter, that would be horrible!
3121
3122719
312300:36:45,664 --> 00:36:47,160
3124- Madame, you are right.
3125
3126720
312700:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,610
3128But I refer you to an ORF interview
3129
3130721
313100:36:49,610 --> 00:36:52,260
3132with the German hip-hop
3133maverick Jan Delay,
3134
3135722
313600:36:52,260 --> 00:36:54,510
3137where he says that he wouldn't think twice
3138
3139723
314000:36:54,510 --> 00:36:55,829
3141about calling the Pope gay,
3142
3143724
314400:36:55,829 --> 00:36:59,119
3145but mocking Islam is
3146something he would never do,
3147
3148725
314900:36:59,119 --> 00:37:01,060
3150out of too much respect.
3151
3152726
315300:37:01,060 --> 00:37:02,110
3154What a coward!
3155
3156727
315700:37:02,110 --> 00:37:06,410
3158- In other words, as long
3159as people have boundaries
3160
3161728
316200:37:06,410 --> 00:37:08,989
3163of respect, there will be scandals?
3164
3165729
316600:37:08,989 --> 00:37:11,000
3167- Yes, more or less.
3168
3169730
317000:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,065
3171But these boundaries of respect
3172
3173731
317400:37:13,065 --> 00:37:16,385
3175are becoming progressively
3176smaller and smaller.
3177
3178732
317900:37:16,385 --> 00:37:18,771
3180- Punk is dead.
3181
3182733
318300:37:18,771 --> 00:37:20,503
3184- So what am I to do?
3185
3186734
318700:37:20,503 --> 00:37:24,493
3188- Simply seek out a new
3189geographical focus for your life.
3190
3191735
319200:37:24,493 --> 00:37:27,783
3193- You're saying I should
3194leave beautiful Austria?
3195
3196736
319700:37:27,783 --> 00:37:29,389
3198- Don't get nostalgic!
3199
3200737
320100:37:29,389 --> 00:37:31,696
3202There would be no Ai Weiwei
3203
3204738
320500:37:31,696 --> 00:37:33,526
3206without the wonderfully disciplined

3211
3212740
321300:37:34,667 --> 00:37:36,595
3214And Iran is also pretty.
3215
3216741
321700:37:36,595 --> 00:37:38,507
3218By all accounts, the
3219weather there is idyllic
3220
3221742
322200:37:38,507 --> 00:37:41,280
3223and every day people are
3224offed because of their,
3225
3226743
322700:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,017
3228for example their views and
3229their sexual orientation.
3230
3231744
323200:37:44,017 --> 00:37:45,100
3233- Thank you!
3234
3235745
323600:37:45,100 --> 00:37:47,778
3237Then I think I'll give
3238the menu another glance.
3239
3240746
324100:37:47,778 --> 00:37:48,947
3242- As madame wishes.
3243
3244747
324500:37:48,947 --> 00:37:52,018
3246Call me when you've selected
3247something to your liking.
3248
3249748
325000:37:52,018 --> 00:37:53,004
3251- Waiter.
3252
3253749
325400:37:53,004 --> 00:37:54,290
3255- Yes, madame!
3256
3257750
325800:37:54,290 --> 00:37:56,310
3259- Could you at least give me the recipe
3260
3261751
326200:37:56,310 --> 00:37:58,060
3263for a real art scandal.
3264
3265752
326600:37:58,060 --> 00:37:59,713
3267I'm just a nostalgic type of person.
3268
3269753
327000:37:59,713 --> 00:38:01,820
3271- I'm sorry, but our old cook passed away
3272
3273754
327400:38:01,820 --> 00:38:03,260
3275the year before last.
3276
3277755
327800:38:03,260 --> 00:38:05,820
3279However, I could bring you an event,
3280
3281756
328200:38:05,820 --> 00:38:08,463
3283and some say you can't
3284even taste the difference.

3301- In 1914, the German

3303
3304761
330500:38:22,193 --> 00:38:25,776
3306Russia and France, effectively
3307starting World War I.
3308
3309762
331000:38:25,776 --> 00:38:29,550
3311The elite wanted a German
3312Reich from Brittany

3316to Saint Petersburg.
3317
3318764
331900:38:30,767 --> 00:38:33,917
3320A lot of walking for simple soldiers.

3349
3350772
335100:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,412
3352That's not what Blade Runner promised me!

3381
3382779
338300:40:53,068 --> 00:40:55,410
3384- [Pundit] I would emphasize
3385the fiber-optic cables
3386
3387780
338800:40:55,410 --> 00:40:56,800
3389that traverse the whole globe,
3390
3391781
339200:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,370
3393not only holding together the
3394current information economy,
3395
3396782
339700:40:59,370 --> 00:41:01,275
3398but scrambling our
3399system of nation-states!
3400
3401783
340200:41:01,275 --> 00:41:03,501
3403- [TV Host] Such a smart-ass
3404

3407(laser zapping)
3408
3409785
341000:41:04,953 --> 00:41:05,786
3411- [Pundit] Aaaaah!
3412
3413786
341400:41:05,786 --> 00:41:07,140
3415Ouch!
3416
3417787
341800:41:07,140 --> 00:41:10,250
3419- [TV Host] Bottom-line, media
3420is the strongest political,
3421
3422788
342300:41:10,250 --> 00:41:13,419
3424economic, and heuristic
3425power in the modern world.
3426
3427789
342800:41:13,419 --> 00:41:15,360
3429Media is always owned.
3430
3431790
343200:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,720
3433I own some, you own some,
3434but most of it is owned by,
3435
3436791
343700:41:19,720 --> 00:41:21,749
3438well, someone else.
3439
3440792
344100:41:21,749 --> 00:41:24,468
3442- [Johannes] Recently, I
3443asked my friend David Fine
3444
3445793
344600:41:24,468 --> 00:41:27,840
3447to do a research study on his lunch break.
3448
3449794
345000:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,319
3451His results suggested 35% of the media
3452
3453795
345400:41:30,319 --> 00:41:32,415
3455is owned by Mark Zuckerberg.
3456
3457796
345800:41:32,415 --> 00:41:34,258
3459I first offered him 25 euros
3460
3461797
346200:41:34,258 --> 00:41:36,950
3463if he could find that
3464it's actually 45%,
3465
3466798
346700:41:36,950 --> 00:41:38,612
3468but he said nobody would believe that.
3469
3470799
347100:41:38,612 --> 00:41:41,289
3472We agreed on 35% for 20 euros.
3473
3474800
347500:41:41,289 --> 00:41:45,100
3476David Fine completed his
3477study in under two minutes.
3478
3479801
348000:41:45,100 --> 00:41:46,180
3481Five stars.
3482
3483802
348400:41:46,180 --> 00:41:47,050
3485Would buy again.
3486
3487803
348800:41:47,050 --> 00:41:49,316
3489- [TV Host] You see, it's
3490redundant to talk about fake news,
3491
3492804
349300:41:49,316 --> 00:41:52,713
3494because news is by definition fake.
3495
3496805
349700:41:52,713 --> 00:41:54,770
3498Ask the constructivist.
3499
3500806
350100:41:54,770 --> 00:41:57,070
3502- [Correspondent] That's right!
3503
3504807
350500:41:57,070 --> 00:41:59,140
3506- [TV Host] News is fake
3507because it is created
3508
3509808
351000:41:59,140 --> 00:42:02,860
3511and edited in a specific way,
3512for a specific target group,
3513
3514809
351500:42:02,860 --> 00:42:04,683
3516for a specific purpose.
3517
3518810
351900:42:04,683 --> 00:42:06,900
3520The idea of freedom of the press
3521
3522811
352300:42:06,900 --> 00:42:09,680
3524and journalistic objectivity
3525is strange in a world
3526
3527812
352800:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,957
3529so obviously based on power relationships.
3530
3531813
353200:42:11,957 --> 00:42:13,050
3533(bell dinging)
3534
3535814
353600:42:13,050 --> 00:42:15,150
3537Facts used to be a driving force
3538
3539815
354000:42:15,150 --> 00:42:17,040
3541and selling point of journalism.
3542
3543816
354400:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,810
3545But research is expensive
3546and market forces
3547
3548817
354900:42:19,810 --> 00:42:21,530
3550don't care if you sell something
3551
3552818
355300:42:21,530 --> 00:42:24,340
3554because it's researched
3555well or faked well.
3556
3557819
355800:42:24,340 --> 00:42:28,070
3559- [Activist] Free speech,
3560free speech, free speech.
3561
3562820
356300:42:28,070 --> 00:42:29,345
3564- [TV Host] Freeze peach?
3565
3566821
356700:42:29,345 --> 00:42:32,705
3568- [Activist] Free speech,
3569free speech, free speech.
3570
3571822
357200:42:32,705 --> 00:42:35,350
3573- [TV Host] Shut your piehole!
3574
3575823
357600:42:35,350 --> 00:42:37,830
3577Who or what do people imagine delivers
3578
3579824
358000:42:37,830 --> 00:42:39,750
3581the right to free speech?
3582
3583825
358400:42:39,750 --> 00:42:43,306
3585The question should not be,
3586do you believe in free speech?
3587
3588826
358900:42:43,306 --> 00:42:45,540
3590The question should be,
3591
3592827
359300:42:45,540 --> 00:42:48,609
3594who in our bourgeois democracy
3595really has free speech?
3596
3597828
359800:42:48,609 --> 00:42:51,370
3599Defending the free speech of Nazis
3600
3601829
360200:42:51,370 --> 00:42:54,220
3603doesn't guarantee the free
3604speech of anti-fascists.
3605
3606830
360700:42:54,220 --> 00:42:56,556
3608The content of speech, or any right to it,
3609
3610831
361100:42:56,556 --> 00:42:58,650
3612isn't what's important.
3613
3614832
361500:42:58,650 --> 00:43:00,460
3616The provision of labor power
3617
3618833
361900:43:00,460 --> 00:43:03,130
3620and social inclusion
3621determines the affordance
3622
3623834
362400:43:03,130 --> 00:43:04,676
3625anyone's speech is given.
3626
3627835
362800:43:04,676 --> 00:43:06,310
3629- [Pundit] But that
3630means we have to uphold
3631
3632836
363300:43:06,310 --> 00:43:07,610
3634the ideal of free speech for all,
3635
3636837
363700:43:07,610 --> 00:43:09,920
3638otherwise the bourgeois state
3639and forces of domination
3640
3641838
364200:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,753
3643have an excuse to--
3644
3645839
364600:43:10,753 --> 00:43:11,839
3647- [TV Host] Smart-ass again.
3648

3652
3653841
365400:43:12,930 --> 00:43:13,763
3655- [Pundit] Ouch!
3656
3657842
365800:43:13,763 --> 00:43:15,670
3659- [TV Host] Let's not act
3660as if we live in a world
3661
3662843
366300:43:15,670 --> 00:43:17,886
3664where everyone has the same free speech.
3665
3666844
366700:43:17,886 --> 00:43:21,670
3668There was no freedom of
3669speech in Eastern Germany,
3670
3671845
367200:43:21,670 --> 00:43:23,787
3673yet there were very active
3674communication channels,
3675
3676846
367700:43:23,787 --> 00:43:25,700
3678pamphlets, and discussions,
3679
3680847
368100:43:25,700 --> 00:43:27,497
3682all beneath the radar of the state.
3683
3684848
368500:43:27,497 --> 00:43:30,052
3686The open media world of liberal societies
3687
3688849
368900:43:30,052 --> 00:43:32,589
3690always encouraged free-ish speech,
3691
3692850
369300:43:32,589 --> 00:43:35,211
3694but in a way of calming down dissent.
3695
3696851
369700:43:35,211 --> 00:43:38,167
3698- [Pundit] But comedy
3699functions as an important--
3700
3701852
370200:43:38,167 --> 00:43:39,968

3704

3708
3709854

3711Goddamn it!
3712
3713855
371400:43:41,634 --> 00:43:44,005
3715- [TV Host] The oh-so-wonderful
3716heroes of liberals,
3717
3718856
371900:43:44,005 --> 00:43:48,466
3720the comedians and satirists,
3721never really changed anything.
3722
3723857
372400:43:48,466 --> 00:43:51,954
3725A naked emperor is still an emperor.
3726
3727858
372800:43:51,954 --> 00:43:55,188
3729- [Activist] Free speech,
3730free speech, free speech!
3731
3732859
373300:43:55,188 --> 00:43:56,887
3734We are a free society!
3735
3736860
373700:43:56,887 --> 00:44:00,110
3738You can say whatever you
3739want, whenever you want,
3740
3741861
374200:44:00,110 --> 00:44:01,978
3743on whatever channels you want!
3744
3745862
374600:44:01,978 --> 00:44:03,784
3747- [TV Host] Sure.
3748
3749863
375000:44:03,784 --> 00:44:07,020
3751But it's irrelevant, and we all know it.
3752
3753864
375400:44:07,020 --> 00:44:09,608
3755How can we find a way to communicate
3756
3757865
375800:44:09,608 --> 00:44:11,395
3759when no one wants to listen?
3760
3761866
376200:44:11,395 --> 00:44:14,250
3763The totality and power of the media
3764
3765867
376600:44:14,250 --> 00:44:16,289
3767is an ongoing negotiation.
3768
3769868
377000:44:16,289 --> 00:44:19,950
3771Normality and reality are
3772created within its structure.
3773
3774869
377500:44:19,950 --> 00:44:22,312
3776To attack normality and reality
3777
3778870
377900:44:22,312 --> 00:44:24,880
3780would also mean to attack this structure,
3781
3782871
378300:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,520
3784something folks have referred to
3785
3786872
378700:44:26,520 --> 00:44:31,100
3788as the semiotics of reality
3789or social semiotics.
3790
3791873
379200:44:31,100 --> 00:44:33,210
3793- [Stefanie] Have you heard
3794about the Bechdel test?
3795
3796874
379700:44:33,210 --> 00:44:34,610
3798- [Katharina] No, what's that?
3799
3800875
380100:44:34,610 --> 00:44:36,350
3802- [Stefanie] It's a test for movies.
3803
3804876
380500:44:36,350 --> 00:44:38,940
3806A movie has to have at
3807least two women in it,
3808
3809877
381000:44:38,940 --> 00:44:41,380
3811who talk to each other about
3812something besides a man.
3813
3814878
381500:44:41,380 --> 00:44:42,832
3816- [Katharina] Oh, I see.
3817
3818879
381900:44:42,832 --> 00:44:45,201
3820So this film passes the test now.
3821
3822880
382300:44:45,201 --> 00:44:48,436
3824- [Stefanie] Yes, we are
3825the token conversation.
3826
3827881
382800:44:48,436 --> 00:44:51,220
3829- [Katharina] Oh, that's very nice then.
3830
3831882
383200:44:51,220 --> 00:44:52,710
3833- [TV Host] It's important to analyze
3834
3835883
383600:44:52,710 --> 00:44:54,359
3837how something is represented,
3838and what is not represented
3839
3840884
384100:44:54,359 --> 00:44:57,855
3842or how it lacks representation.
3843
3844885
384500:44:57,855 --> 00:45:02,130
3846It's not Zuckerberg, whose
3847assholishness is not in dispute,
3848
3849886
385000:45:02,130 --> 00:45:03,440
3851we should attack,
3852
3853887
385400:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,259
3855but rather the cultural
3856grammar of the public space.
3857
3858888
385900:45:06,259 --> 00:45:09,570
3860Power is formed within such a grammar.
3861
3862889
386300:45:09,570 --> 00:45:11,660
3864Access and non-access to everything
3865
3866890
386700:45:11,660 --> 00:45:13,343
3868is regulated in its realm.
3869
3870891
387100:45:13,343 --> 00:45:15,319
3872Meanings are negotiated there.
3873
3874892
387500:45:15,319 --> 00:45:18,720
3876Good and evil are determined.
3877
3878893
387900:45:18,720 --> 00:45:20,740
3880It is a common reflex for people to think
3881
3882894
388300:45:20,740 --> 00:45:23,230
3884they are helpless against
3885almighty governments
3886
3887895
388800:45:23,230 --> 00:45:24,438
3889and corporate powers.
3890
3891896
389200:45:24,438 --> 00:45:27,190
3893But power is more like an icky jellyfish
3894
3895897
389600:45:27,190 --> 00:45:28,536
3897than a solid brick wall.
3898
3899898
390000:45:28,536 --> 00:45:30,070
3901Play with it!
3902
3903899
390400:45:30,070 --> 00:45:32,240
3905- [Pundit] Y-y-yes, madame!
3906
3907900
390800:45:32,240 --> 00:45:35,590
3909- [TV Host] That's how I like my pundits.
3910
3911901
391200:45:35,590 --> 00:45:38,507
3913(calm piano music)
3914
3915902
391600:45:56,818 --> 00:45:59,568
3917(ducks chirping)
3918
3919903
392000:46:15,214 --> 00:46:17,797
3921(dogs barking)
3922
3923904
392400:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,626
3925We live in a paradoxical world.
3926
3927905
392800:46:25,626 --> 00:46:29,597
3929The largest phone providers
3930own no telco infrastructure,
3931
3932906
393300:46:29,597 --> 00:46:33,568
3934the most popular media
3935owner creates no content,
3936
3937907
393800:46:33,568 --> 00:46:37,717
3939world's largest media
3940house owns no cinema,
3941
3942908
394300:46:37,717 --> 00:46:42,717
3944the largest software vendors
3945create no apps, and so on.
3946
3947909
394800:46:43,130 --> 00:46:46,480
3949- [Wizard] What is this sorcery?
3950
3951910
395200:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,420
3953- [TV Host] Yet, we obviously live
3954
3955911
395600:46:48,420 --> 00:46:50,641
3957in a highly material world.
3958
3959912
396000:46:50,641 --> 00:46:54,440
3961Our freedom of yada-yada-yada
3962seems a bit sketchy
3963
3964913
396500:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,410
3966when you consider that all our lovely
3967
3968914
396900:46:56,410 --> 00:47:00,130
3970'Pepe the Frog' fan blogs and
3971anarcho-syndicalist forums
3972
3973915
397400:47:00,130 --> 00:47:03,850
3975would be gone in a heartbeat
3976if just one company decides
3977
3978916
397900:47:03,850 --> 00:47:04,840
3980to shut down their
3981
3982917
398300:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,612
3984itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-deep-sea
3985cable.
3986
3987918
398800:47:08,612 --> 00:47:11,327
3989Or imagine if our home
3990country wants to pull an Egypt
3991
3992919
399300:47:11,327 --> 00:47:12,822
3994or Turkey on us.
3995
3996920
399700:47:12,822 --> 00:47:15,820
3998- [Teknomator] I know now why you cry.
3999
4000921
400100:47:15,820 --> 00:47:18,342
4002But it's something I can never do.
4003
4004922
400500:47:18,342 --> 00:47:20,302
4006- [TV Host] Prost!
4007
4008923
400900:47:20,302 --> 00:47:23,241
4010There is no freedom of information until,
4011
4012924
401300:47:23,241 --> 00:47:26,341
4014let's put it in simple terms,
4015
4016925
401700:47:26,341 --> 00:47:29,504
4018you can download your hardware.
4019
4020926
402100:47:29,504 --> 00:47:30,853
4022Not gonna happen.
4023
4024927
402500:47:30,853 --> 00:47:34,997
4026Even the wonderful DIY
4027revolution can't change that.
4028
4029928
403000:47:34,997 --> 00:47:38,740
4031All our hacker gadgets and
4032Arduinos and Linux notebooks
4033
4034929
403500:47:38,740 --> 00:47:41,340
4036are made from the same raw materials
4037
4038930
403900:47:41,340 --> 00:47:42,980
4040as the corporate hardware,
4041
4042931
404300:47:42,980 --> 00:47:46,528
4044mined under horrific conditions
4045by 21st century slaves,
4046
4047932
404800:47:46,528 --> 00:47:50,045
4049assembled by folks with a similar fate.
4050
4051933
405200:47:50,045 --> 00:47:54,928
4053Here is a crazy, yet strangely
4054compelling piece of music,
4055
4056934
405700:47:54,928 --> 00:47:58,250
4058first presented at the German
4059Evangelical Church Assembly
4060
4061935
406200:47:58,250 --> 00:48:00,240
4063in 1975.
4064
4065936
406600:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,730
4067A mixture of Christian revival attitude
4068
4069937
407000:48:02,730 --> 00:48:04,673
4071and left-leaning agitprop.
4072
4073938
407400:48:04,673 --> 00:48:07,413
4075Quite something, isn't it, Pontius?
4076
4077939
407800:48:28,131 --> 00:48:31,298
4079("Du kleine Löterin")
4080
4081940
408200:50:03,196 --> 00:50:06,446
4083- [Johannes] I am useless as an artist.
4084
4085941
408600:50:07,434 --> 00:50:09,767
4087There is nothing left to do.
4088
4089942
409000:50:10,919 --> 00:50:14,420
4091Oh, a video filter that
4092makes videos look like
4093
4094943
409500:50:14,420 --> 00:50:16,254
4096they are really old.
4097
4098944
409900:50:16,254 --> 00:50:19,083
4100This changes everything.
4101
4102945
410300:50:22,325 --> 00:50:25,408
4104(light guitar music)
4105
4106946
410700:50:34,273 --> 00:50:36,856
4108(tone beeping)
4109
4110947
411100:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,013
4112- [Narrator] Hey, you.
4113
4114948
411500:50:59,310 --> 00:51:00,290
4116Yeah, you.
4117
4118949
411900:51:02,190 --> 00:51:03,220
4120What?
4121
4122950
412300:51:03,220 --> 00:51:05,430
4124Is someone there, you're asking?
4125
4126951
412700:51:05,430 --> 00:51:07,080
4128Someone watching you?
4129
4130952
413100:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,929
4132Of course there is.
4133
4134953
413500:51:08,929 --> 00:51:10,670
4136But don't be scared.
4137
4138954
413900:51:10,670 --> 00:51:14,354
4140You are my big brother,
4141the modern subject.
4142
4143955
414400:51:14,354 --> 00:51:17,410
4145I know you haven't known me personally,
4146
4147956
414800:51:17,410 --> 00:51:20,582
4149since our parents, Father
4150Honor and Mother Concern,
4151
4152957
415300:51:20,582 --> 00:51:24,522
4154sent you away to the Boarding
4155School of Bourgeois Privacy
4156
4157958
415800:51:24,522 --> 00:51:26,100
4159when you were young.
4160
4161959
416200:51:26,100 --> 00:51:28,111
4163But those years of your life are over.
4164
4165960
416600:51:28,111 --> 00:51:33,111
4167I am here to pick you up and
4168guide you into a new tomorrow!
4169
4170961
417100:51:33,410 --> 00:51:34,613
4172Let me give you a hug!
4173
4174962
417500:51:35,870 --> 00:51:36,703
4176No?
4177
4178963
417900:51:36,703 --> 00:51:39,153
4180You miss Bourgeois Privacy?
4181
4182964
418300:51:41,395 --> 00:51:42,660
4184My, my!
4185
4186965
418700:51:42,660 --> 00:51:44,124
4188Don't cry!
4189
4190966
419100:51:44,124 --> 00:51:47,480
4192You say your liberty
4193was protected in there?
4194
4195967
419600:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,111
4197You felt safe having a personal space
4198
4199968
420000:51:50,111 --> 00:51:53,760
4201that felt hidden from outside curiosities,
4202
4203969
420400:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,035
4205views, and disapproval?
4206
4207970
420800:51:56,035 --> 00:51:59,970
4209You don't understand, big brother!
4210
4211971
421200:51:59,970 --> 00:52:04,918
4213The privacy you've had so far
4214is a historical contingency,
4215
4216972
421700:52:04,918 --> 00:52:07,092
4218not a universal fact.
4219
4220973
422100:52:07,092 --> 00:52:09,678
4222You can't stay in school forever.
4223
4224974
422500:52:09,678 --> 00:52:13,528
4226It's a stage in the life
4227of a subject like you.
4228
4229975
423000:52:13,528 --> 00:52:18,528
4231See, privacy, as we think of
4232it, is only 300 years old.
4233
4234976
423500:52:18,580 --> 00:52:22,890
4236It doesn't exist in its
4237precise Western bourgeois form
4238
4239977
424000:52:22,890 --> 00:52:24,310
4241in Eastern cultures.
4242
4243978
424400:52:24,310 --> 00:52:27,580
4245But as common goods came
4246to be held in few hands,

4273infrastructure of privacy,
4274
4275985
427600:52:44,767 --> 00:52:49,191
4277served to legitimize the
4278bourgeoisie against other classes.
4279
4280986
428100:52:49,191 --> 00:52:52,728
4282The bourgeoisie often
4283defined its moral superiority
4284
4285987
428600:52:52,728 --> 00:52:55,337
4287over the masses of workers through

4292
4293989
429400:52:58,240 --> 00:53:00,840

4296simply couldn't afford

4352
43531003
435400:56:35,243 --> 00:56:38,057
4355But privacy was already being undermined!
4356
43571004
435800:56:38,057 --> 00:56:41,040
4359The technological advances toward the end
4360
43611005
436200:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,020
4363of the 19th century were
4364discussed just as much
4365
43661006
436700:56:44,020 --> 00:56:45,490
4368as today's are.
4369
43701007
437100:56:45,490 --> 00:56:47,302
4372The telephone was dangerous
4373
43741008
437500:56:47,302 --> 00:56:51,170
4376for opening the home's
4377safe space to faraway ears.
4378
43791009
438000:56:51,170 --> 00:56:55,160
4381X-rays were a weapon to peek beyond walls
4382
43831010
438400:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,626
4385into the most private quarters.
4386
43871011
438800:56:57,626 --> 00:56:58,502
4389(sighing)
4390
43911012
439200:56:58,502 --> 00:57:01,240
4393Calls for strong laws to protect privacy
4394
43951013
439600:57:01,240 --> 00:57:03,010
4397against such threats emerged,
4398
43991014
440000:57:03,010 --> 00:57:07,550
4401most famously in the 1890
4402essay The Right to Privacy,
4403
44041015
440500:57:07,550 --> 00:57:11,783
4406which is still prevalent in
4407privacy legislation debates.
4408
44091016
441000:57:11,783 --> 00:57:15,300
4411The problems were not
4412limited to the intrusions
4413
44141017
441500:57:15,300 --> 00:57:17,100
4416into individuals' lives.
4417
44181018
441900:57:17,100 --> 00:57:19,711
4420Disrespect the line
4421between public and private,
4422
44231019
442400:57:19,711 --> 00:57:22,330
4425and you set poor moral examples
4426
44271020
442800:57:22,330 --> 00:57:25,400
4429and degenerate proper public discourse.
4430
44311021
443200:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,812
4433For example, the authors warned
4434against newspaper stories
4435
44361022
443700:57:28,812 --> 00:57:33,553
4438leading to improper public
4439discussions of private matters.
4440
44411023
444200:57:33,553 --> 00:57:35,970
4443Such stories could matter to the demos,
4444
44451024
444600:57:35,970 --> 00:57:39,592
4447and become a matter of politics.
4448
44491025
445000:57:39,592 --> 00:57:40,860
4451Hmmm.
4452
44531026
445400:57:40,860 --> 00:57:43,290
4455In the 20th Century, liberal democracies
4456
44571027
445800:57:43,290 --> 00:57:46,120
4459promoted privacy as a liberal counter
4460
44611028
446200:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,018
4463against populist doctrines,
4464be they communist or fascist.
4465
44661029
446700:57:50,018 --> 00:57:53,662
4468This period was also when
4469the welfare capitalism
4470
44711030
447200:57:53,662 --> 00:57:55,480
4473of liberal democracies,
4474
44751031
447600:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,840
4477through their surpluses from
4478colonialism or imperialism,
4479
44801032
448100:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,482
4482raised the living standards
4483of most of their populace.
4484
44851033
448600:58:02,482 --> 00:58:06,052
4487The so-called middle
4488class had privacy, too.
4489
44901034
449100:58:06,052 --> 00:58:08,670
4492But these very economic conditions
4493
44941035
449500:58:08,670 --> 00:58:11,660
4496enabled marginalized
4497parts of bourgeois society
4498
44991036
450000:58:11,660 --> 00:58:15,140
4501to think about the good
4502and the bad of privacy.
4503
45041037
450500:58:15,140 --> 00:58:18,390
4506Feminist activists used
4507drastic publicity tactics
4508
45091038
451000:58:18,390 --> 00:58:22,110
4511to start discussions of
4512issues formerly hidden
4513
45141039
451500:58:22,110 --> 00:58:23,230
4516by privacy and taboo.
4517
45181040
451900:58:23,230 --> 00:58:25,199
4520For example, in France and Germany,
4521
45221041
452300:58:25,199 --> 00:58:27,710
4524they started public mass confessions
4525
45261042
452700:58:27,710 --> 00:58:30,287
4528involving prominent women, stating:
4529
45301043
453100:58:30,287 --> 00:58:31,723
4532"We had abortions."
4533
45341044
453500:58:31,723 --> 00:58:35,086
4536Similar tactics were used
4537by homosexual activists.
4538
45391045
454000:58:35,086 --> 00:58:38,933
4541Oh, I got carried away.
4542
45431046
454400:58:38,933 --> 00:58:40,910
4545What did you say, big brother?
4546
45471047
454800:58:40,910 --> 00:58:42,853
4549Oh, it's not all bad.
4550
45511048
455200:58:42,853 --> 00:58:45,140
4553Especially for marginalized groups,
4554
45551049
455600:58:45,140 --> 00:58:49,489
4557it is useful to have space
4558free from authoritarian eyes.
4559
45601050
456100:58:49,489 --> 00:58:51,673
4562But privacy is under attack.
4563
45641051
456500:58:51,673 --> 00:58:54,650
4566This time, the troubles might be terminal,
4567
45681052
456900:58:54,650 --> 00:58:56,580
4570along with probably so many other troubles
4571
45721053
457300:58:56,580 --> 00:58:58,533
4574of bourgeois political economy.
4575
45761054

4578Dear big brother, put in your earbuds!
4579
45801055
458100:59:01,794 --> 00:59:05,260

4589
45901057
459100:59:09,052 --> 00:59:12,952

46391068
464001:00:33,527 --> 01:00:37,727

4687
46881079
468901:01:06,217 --> 01:01:08,863
4690It's a necessary entanglement,

47171086
471801:01:24,430 --> 01:01:28,120

47481093
474901:01:41,634 --> 01:01:44,522

4774Julian Assange Molesting a Chicken.'
4775
47761099
477701:01:59,320 --> 01:02:00,570
4778You lost.
4779
47801100
478101:02:00,570 --> 01:02:02,683
4782- I got the weirdest boner.
4783
47841101
478501:02:02,683 --> 01:02:04,153
4786(rooster crowing)
4787
47881102
478901:02:04,153 --> 01:02:05,720
4790- [Narrator] A democratization
4791of surveillance
4792
47931103
479401:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,036
4795would allow it to be turned
4796against the powerful.
4797
47981104
479901:02:08,036 --> 01:02:11,100
4800Post-privacy will be difficult, though,
4801
48021105
480301:02:11,100 --> 01:02:13,240
4804if the playing field isn't level,
4805
48061106
480701:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,880
4808if information is released
4809but the same groups
4810
48111107
481201:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,260
4813have the power.
4814
48151108
481601:02:17,260 --> 01:02:20,780
4817But if we hold the information,
4818if we decide how it's used,
4819
48201109
482101:02:20,780 --> 01:02:23,595
4822given how important it is to
4823everything that happens today,
4824
48251110
482601:02:23,595 --> 01:02:26,712
4827we can settle historical power imbalances.
4828
48291111
483001:02:26,712 --> 01:02:30,550
4831See, I'm not the state, or Wall Street,
4832
48331112
483401:02:30,550 --> 01:02:33,342
4835or the servers of Silicon Valley.
4836
48371113
483801:02:33,342 --> 01:02:35,282
4839I'm Little Brother.
4840
48411114
484201:02:35,282 --> 01:02:37,982
4843I own no means of production,
4844
48451115
484601:02:37,982 --> 01:02:40,390
4847except all the information I have
4848
48491116
485001:02:40,390 --> 01:02:41,820
4851about you and your friends.
4852
48531117
485401:02:41,820 --> 01:02:44,510
4855What we need today is a network, platform,
4856
48571118
485801:02:44,510 --> 01:02:49,000
4859or some equivalent institution
4860of Little Brothers like me,
4861
48621119
486301:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,249
4864who have no monopoly over violence,
4865
48661120
486701:02:51,249 --> 01:02:56,249
4868power over your credit rating,
4869or ownership of your debt.
4870
48711121
487201:02:56,390 --> 01:03:00,312
4873My sole power rests on
4874having all this data.
4875
48761122
487701:03:00,312 --> 01:03:03,079
4878But I'm not alienated from you.
4879
48801123
488101:03:03,079 --> 01:03:04,598
4882I'm on your side!
4883
48841124
488501:03:04,598 --> 01:03:08,130
4886So let's attack the
4887forces that make us fear
4888
48891125
489001:03:08,130 --> 01:03:10,930
4891for the loss of privacy at their roots,
4892
48931126
489401:03:10,930 --> 01:03:13,880
4895because we have the core productive force
4896
48971127
489801:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,930
4899of the day in our hands.
4900
49011128
490201:03:15,930 --> 01:03:19,264
4903We can take these forces on together!
4904
49051129
490601:03:19,264 --> 01:03:22,264
4907(computer blipping)
4908
49091130
491001:03:26,956 --> 01:03:30,373
4911(light electronic music)
4912
49131131
491401:03:31,210 --> 01:03:34,300
4915- [Johannes] I once met a
4916pansexual German paratrooper
4917
49181132
491901:03:34,300 --> 01:03:37,400
4920who thought Michael Haneke
4921is totally overrated.
4922
49231133
492401:03:37,400 --> 01:03:38,640
4925Clever fellow.
4926
49271134
492801:03:38,640 --> 01:03:39,900
4929He invited me to check out
4930
49311135
493201:03:39,900 --> 01:03:42,290
4933Vienna's Museum of Natural History.
4934
49351136
493601:03:42,290 --> 01:03:44,562
4937I joined him and he told
4938me an interesting story.
4939
49401137
494101:03:44,562 --> 01:03:48,272
4942In 1952, Austrian big-game hunter
4943
49441138
494501:03:48,272 --> 01:03:51,910
4946and Africa 'researcher' Ernst Zwilling,
4947
49481139
494901:03:51,910 --> 01:03:55,630
4950a colonial revisionist and
4951member of the Nazi party,
4952
49531140
495401:03:55,630 --> 01:03:58,950
4955brought a male chimpanzee
4956from Cameroon to Schönbrunn,
4957
49581141
495901:03:58,950 --> 01:04:00,450
4960the Viennese zoo.
4961
49621142
496301:04:00,450 --> 01:04:03,220
4964In his African home, Honzo had reportedly
4965
49661143
496701:04:03,220 --> 01:04:05,280
4968been a friendly and likeable animal,
4969
49701144
497101:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,630
4972but in the zoo he began
4973to show a violent temper.
4974
49751145
497601:04:08,630 --> 01:04:10,650
4977Due to his choleric outbreaks,
4978
49791146
498001:04:10,650 --> 01:04:13,192
4981poor Honzo was kept in
4982solitary confinement.
4983
49841147
498501:04:13,192 --> 01:04:16,165
4986The chimpanzee was given
4987beer and cigarettes.
4988
49891148
499001:04:16,165 --> 01:04:20,278
4991He got addicted and died an
4992alcoholic and chain smoker.
4993
49941149
499501:04:20,278 --> 01:04:23,650
4996After his death, the chimp was taxidermied
4997
49981150
499901:04:23,650 --> 01:04:26,210
5000and put into the Museum
5001of Natural History.
5002
50031151
500401:04:26,210 --> 01:04:29,740
5005Now people from all over
5006the world stare at him.
5007
50081152
500901:04:29,740 --> 01:04:31,782
5010That's gotta be an allegory of something.
5011
50121153
501301:04:31,782 --> 01:04:34,365
5014(tone beeping)
5015
50161154
501701:04:37,214 --> 01:04:38,047
5018- Hello, Politics!
5019
50201155
502101:04:38,047 --> 01:04:39,760
5022Your reputation precedes you.
5023
50241156
502501:04:39,760 --> 01:04:43,046
5026- It has been a wild few
5027millennia, but, these days--
5028
50291157
503001:04:43,046 --> 01:04:46,031
5031- My God, what happened to your voice,
5032
50331158
503401:04:46,031 --> 01:04:47,710
5035the fabled vox populi?
5036
50371159
503801:04:47,710 --> 01:04:49,507
5039- Yes, that's why I'm here.
5040
50411160
504201:04:49,507 --> 01:04:50,880
5043I'm not sure, frankly, who I am!
5044
50451161
504601:04:50,880 --> 01:04:52,998
5047- But you are Politics!
5048
50491162
505001:04:52,998 --> 01:04:55,503
5051- Yes, but who am I really?
5052
50531163
505401:04:55,503 --> 01:04:57,054
5055I mean listen to this voice!
5056
50571164
505801:04:57,054 --> 01:04:58,140
5059And I feel different!
5060
50611165
506201:04:58,140 --> 01:05:00,320
5063It's not just aging, it's
5064a different existence.
5065
50661166
506701:05:00,320 --> 01:05:01,153
5068Maybe I'm dying.
5069
50701167
507101:05:01,153 --> 01:05:02,404
5072- Now, no hasty conclusions.
5073
50741168
507501:05:02,404 --> 01:05:04,346
5076Let's start with what we can see.
5077
50781169
507901:05:04,346 --> 01:05:06,306
5080This voice, who's voice is it?
5081
50821170
508301:05:06,306 --> 01:05:09,730
5084What is the subject,
5085the subject of Politics?
5086
50871171
508801:05:09,730 --> 01:05:11,607
5089- Well, I've been talking to my family.
5090
50911172
509201:05:11,607 --> 01:05:13,450
5093They tell me I've changed.
5094
50951173
509601:05:13,450 --> 01:05:14,370
5097They're worried about me.
5098
50991174
510001:05:14,370 --> 01:05:16,890
5101They say I'm getting carried
5102away by the whims of the age,
5103
51041175
510501:05:16,890 --> 01:05:18,800
5106not representing what I have in the past.
5107
51081176
510901:05:18,800 --> 01:05:19,633
5110But I can't tell.
5111
51121177
511301:05:19,633 --> 01:05:20,466
5114I'm just going with the flow.
5115
51161178
511701:05:20,466 --> 01:05:21,858
5118- What do you mean going with the flow?
5119
51201179
512101:05:21,858 --> 01:05:23,482
5122Who are you speaking for?
5123
51241180
512501:05:23,482 --> 01:05:25,180
5126- That's the confusion!
5127
51281181
512901:05:25,180 --> 01:05:27,050
5130One moment I speak for
5131women, another for men,
5132
51331182
513401:05:27,050 --> 01:05:28,309
5135another for genderqueer people.
5136
51371183
513801:05:28,309 --> 01:05:29,142
5139The next day I get called TERFy,
5140
51411184
514201:05:29,142 --> 01:05:30,323
5143and then I speak for trans
5144people, then black people,
5145
51461185
514701:05:30,323 --> 01:05:31,156
5148then white people.
5149
51501186
515101:05:31,156 --> 01:05:32,208
5152Kids these days treat me like God,
5153
51541187
515501:05:32,208 --> 01:05:34,079
5156as if I can solve all their problems.
5157
51581188
515901:05:34,079 --> 01:05:38,260
5160Now I see how God feels,
5161responding to prayers all the time.
5162
51631189
516401:05:38,260 --> 01:05:39,093
5165- Wait.
5166
51671190
516801:05:39,093 --> 01:05:41,260
5169You don't speak for the people?
5170
51711191
517201:05:41,260 --> 01:05:44,326
5173- That's what my friend
5174Philosophy keeps telling me to do,
5175
51761192
517701:05:44,326 --> 01:05:47,840
5178but Neil deGrasse Tyson said
5179philosophy is a distraction,
5180
51811193
518201:05:47,840 --> 01:05:48,711
5183and Neil's a person-of-color,
5184
51851194
518601:05:48,711 --> 01:05:50,060
5187a voice that has been
5188historically sidelined, so--
5189
51901195
519101:05:50,060 --> 01:05:52,873
5192- Hmm, no wonder the
5193vox populi is damaged.
5194
51951196
519601:05:52,873 --> 01:05:55,449
5197Right now, yours is the vox grex!
5198
51991197
520001:05:55,449 --> 01:05:57,920
5201But you're still Politics?
5202
52031198
520401:05:57,920 --> 01:05:58,753
5205- I'm not sure!
5206
52071199
520801:05:58,753 --> 01:06:00,838
5209- Well, tell me what you do
5210to represent your subject.
5211
52121200
521301:06:00,838 --> 01:06:03,240
5214- Well, right before I came here,
5215
52161201
521701:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,900
5218I was a Tumblr post that
5219said 'Writing class notes
5220
52211202
522201:06:05,900 --> 01:06:08,046
5223in glitter pen is nonbinary culture.'
5224
52251203
522601:06:08,046 --> 01:06:09,830
5227Just before that, I banned Halloween
5228
52291204
523001:06:09,830 --> 01:06:11,800
5231at an elementary school, since
5232Halloween isn't inclusive
5233
52341205
523501:06:11,800 --> 01:06:12,717
5236and can be awkward for some children.
5237
52381206
523901:06:12,717 --> 01:06:15,030
5240Before that, I was in
5241alt-right incel form,
5242
52431207
524401:06:15,030 --> 01:06:16,366
5245saying I'd rather stick a razor up my ass
5246
52471208
524801:06:16,366 --> 01:06:17,350
5249than share a planet with women.
5250
52511209
525201:06:17,350 --> 01:06:19,140
5253I spent all last night as J. K. Rowling,
5254
52551210
525601:06:19,140 --> 01:06:20,850
5257arguing as an enlightened radical centrist
5258
52591211
526001:06:20,850 --> 01:06:21,683
5261against Corbynites.
5262
52631212
526401:06:21,683 --> 01:06:23,786
5265Yesterday, I was on Twitter,
5266calling out Chelsea Manning
5267
52681213
526901:06:23,786 --> 01:06:25,784
5270for advocating NO BORDERS.
5271
52721214
527301:06:25,784 --> 01:06:27,060
5274I've been Richard Spencer a lot,
5275
52761215
527701:06:27,060 --> 01:06:28,000
5278saying the U.S. should be a safe space
5279
52801216
528101:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,365
5282for people of European descent!
5283
52841217
528501:06:29,365 --> 01:06:31,510
5286I don't know who I am at all.
5287
52881218
528901:06:31,510 --> 01:06:33,951
5290- Let's see, what does
5291all this have in common?
5292
52931219
529401:06:33,951 --> 01:06:36,020
5295You're working against double standards,
5296
52971220
529801:06:36,020 --> 01:06:37,970
5299ensuring people get fair treatment.
5300
53011221
530201:06:37,970 --> 01:06:38,803
5303Isn't that good?
5304
53051222
530601:06:38,803 --> 01:06:41,505
5307More important, isn't that
5308what you've always done?
5309
53101223
531101:06:41,505 --> 01:06:44,534
5312- Yes, but you know what
5313my friend History says?
5314
53151224
531601:06:44,534 --> 01:06:45,770
5317- What?
5318
53191225
532001:06:45,770 --> 01:06:46,603
5321- He says it's different now.
5322
53231226
532401:06:46,603 --> 01:06:47,436
5325He says that in the past,
5326
53271227
532801:06:47,436 --> 01:06:48,590
5329say with anti-colonial struggles
5330
53311228
533201:06:48,590 --> 01:06:49,580
5333like the Haitian Revolution,
5334
53351229
533601:06:49,580 --> 01:06:50,940
5337advocacy for the disenfranchised
5338
53391230
534001:06:50,940 --> 01:06:53,060
5341was on the basis of their
5342belonging to a broader category,
5343
53441231
534501:06:53,060 --> 01:06:56,010
5346like human, hmm, I haven't
5347heard that word in a long time.
5348
53491232
535001:06:56,010 --> 01:06:56,843
5351Sounds weird, doesn't it?
5352
53531233
535401:06:56,843 --> 01:06:58,500
5355Anyway, History says movements,
5356
53571234
535801:06:58,500 --> 01:07:00,310
5359like Civil Rights or feminism,
5360
53611235
536201:07:00,310 --> 01:07:02,330
5363that addressed the
5364needs of specific groups
5365
53661236
536701:07:02,330 --> 01:07:04,358
5368in the last century were
5369about social structure.
5370
53711237
537201:07:04,358 --> 01:07:07,490
5373Now, I'm about the
5374recognition of an individual
5375
53761238
537701:07:07,490 --> 01:07:08,660
5378or group's identity.
5379
53801239
538101:07:08,660 --> 01:07:10,730
5382Everyone from Fred Hampton
5383to Martin Luther King Jr.
5384
53851240
538601:07:10,730 --> 01:07:12,529
5387to Shulamith Firestone,
5388according to History,
5389
53901241
539101:07:12,529 --> 01:07:14,821
5392incorporated a critique
5393of systems affecting more
5394
53951242
539601:07:14,821 --> 01:07:16,780
5397than the group they fought for.
5398
53991243
540001:07:16,780 --> 01:07:19,670
5401Or they called upon a
5402unifying subjectivity among us
5403
54041244
540501:07:19,670 --> 01:07:21,700
5406to overcome systems that affected
5407
54081245
540901:07:21,700 --> 01:07:23,242
5410different people differently.
5411
54121246
541301:07:23,242 --> 01:07:25,033
5414Philosophy backed all this up.
5415
54161247
541701:07:25,033 --> 01:07:27,670
5418Of course, categories have been created
5419
54201248
542101:07:27,670 --> 01:07:30,331
5422to ensure some people
5423dominate more than others,
5424
54251249
542601:07:30,331 --> 01:07:33,602
5427Philosophy said, and we must
5428fight for the marginalized.
5429
54301250
543101:07:33,602 --> 01:07:36,660
5432But the cries of the oppressed
5433are liberatory only insofar
5434
54351251
543601:07:36,660 --> 01:07:38,210
5437as they echo a universal dimension,
5438
54391252
544001:07:38,210 --> 01:07:39,530
5441revealing a wrong in society,
5442
54431253
544401:07:39,530 --> 01:07:41,690
5445be that about sexual difference,
5446
54471254
544801:07:41,690 --> 01:07:43,785
5449resource distribution, or anything else.
5450
54511255
545201:07:43,785 --> 01:07:46,095
5453- But now, it's for its own sake?
5454
54551256
545601:07:46,095 --> 01:07:49,430
5457You affirm and celebrate,
5458say, brown people,
5459
54601257
546101:07:49,430 --> 01:07:51,769
5462not because they are part of
5463something larger, unfixed,
5464
54651258
546601:07:51,769 --> 01:07:55,090
5467and uncontainable, but
5468because they are brown!
5469
54701259
547101:07:55,090 --> 01:07:56,673
5472- I... think... so.
5473
54741260
547501:07:57,610 --> 01:08:00,288
5476- But is being brown anything special?
5477
54781261
547901:08:00,288 --> 01:08:01,411
5480- Who knows?
5481
54821262
548301:08:01,411 --> 01:08:04,870
5484Ask the subject that comprises me.
5485
54861263
548701:08:04,870 --> 01:08:07,972
5488- Oh, but is there 'a'
5489general subject there?
5490
54911264
549201:08:07,972 --> 01:08:08,805
5493- What do you mean?
5494
54951265
549601:08:08,805 --> 01:08:11,220
5497- I mean, Politics, you
5498arose in the interaction
5499
55001266
550101:08:11,220 --> 01:08:13,630
5502between the particular and the universal.
5503
55041267
550501:08:13,630 --> 01:08:16,370
5506The particular, a human
5507being, was championed,
5508
55091268
551001:08:16,370 --> 01:08:19,135
5511because it's part of a
5512universal, the human being.
5513
55141269
551501:08:19,135 --> 01:08:20,694
5516When you become about people
5517
55181270
551901:08:20,694 --> 01:08:22,742
5520because they belong to a static group,
5521
55221271
552301:08:22,742 --> 01:08:25,314
5524neglecting those groups
5525are social constructs,
5526
55271272
552801:08:25,314 --> 01:08:28,531
5529you realize that you can also
5530be co-opted for bad stuff,
5531
55321273
553301:08:28,531 --> 01:08:29,530
5534right?
5535
55361274
553701:08:29,530 --> 01:08:30,420
5538- What do you mean?
5539
55401275
554101:08:30,420 --> 01:08:31,550
5542I am justice.
5543
55441276
554501:08:31,550 --> 01:08:32,638
5546I weigh society with a blindfold.
5547
55481277
554901:08:32,638 --> 01:08:35,510
5550- You were just saying you took
5551the guise of the alt-right.
5552
55531278
555401:08:35,510 --> 01:08:36,998
5555That's politics today.
5556
55571279
555801:08:36,998 --> 01:08:40,340
5559See, talking about unfair
5560treatment of people,
5561
55621280
556301:08:40,340 --> 01:08:42,940
5564but basing the conversation
5565on those people's' subjective
5566
55671281
556801:08:42,940 --> 01:08:45,650
5569identity category opens you up to be used
5570
55711282
557201:08:45,650 --> 01:08:48,175
5573for reactionary politics
5574and fluff politics.
5575
55761283
557701:08:48,175 --> 01:08:52,319
5578Like Hillary Clinton's 1.2
5579billion dollar campaign in 2016,
5580
55811284
558201:08:52,319 --> 01:08:54,860
5583which was mostly about deserving power
5584
55851285
558601:08:54,860 --> 01:08:56,836
5587because she isn't a fuckin' white guy.
5588
55891286
559001:08:56,836 --> 01:08:58,917
5591When you become about groups in society
5592
55931287
559401:08:58,917 --> 01:09:01,051
5595and lose sight of society itself,
5596
55971288
559801:09:01,051 --> 01:09:03,430
5599you pose no threat to the institutions
5600
56011289
560201:09:03,430 --> 01:09:06,477
5603and structure of society,
5604which aren't mere constructs.
5605
56061290
560701:09:06,477 --> 01:09:09,206
5608That's why your disconnection
5609from universal concerns
5610
56111291
561201:09:09,206 --> 01:09:11,359
5613is popular among conservatives.
5614
56151292
561601:09:11,359 --> 01:09:15,000
5617In fact, advocating on
5618behalf of subjective groups
5619
56201293
562101:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,450
5622rather than the common good,
5623
56241294
562501:09:16,450 --> 01:09:18,600
5626which includes marginalized people,
5627
56281295
562901:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,460
5630began with the counter-Enlightenment right
5631
56321296
563301:09:20,460 --> 01:09:22,310
5634of the 18th Century.
5635
56361297
563701:09:22,310 --> 01:09:23,872
5638Against universal human values,
5639
56401298
564101:09:23,872 --> 01:09:27,006
5642French arch-reactionary,
5643Joseph de Maistre wrote,
5644
56451299
564601:09:27,006 --> 01:09:30,547
5647- "There is no such thing as Man.
5648
56491300
565001:09:30,547 --> 01:09:34,285
5651"I have seen Frenchmen,
5652Italians, and Russians.
5653
56541301
565501:09:34,285 --> 01:09:39,219
5656"As for Man, I have never
5657come across him anywhere."
5658
56591302
566001:09:39,219 --> 01:09:43,335
5661- Today we need not only
5662justice, but liberté, egalité,
5663
56641303
566501:09:43,335 --> 01:09:45,990
5666and covfefe, I mean, Justice!
5667
56681304
566901:09:45,990 --> 01:09:49,510
5670- Yes, my friend Media Theorist
5671used that hallowed value,
5672
56731305
567401:09:49,510 --> 01:09:52,799
5675Covfefe, to explain what's wrong with me.
5676
56771306
567801:09:52,799 --> 01:09:56,050
5679But what does this bode for my health?
5680
56811307
568201:09:56,050 --> 01:09:57,306
5683Can I survive this?
5684
56851308
568601:09:57,306 --> 01:09:58,760
5687- Survive?
5688
56891309
569001:09:58,760 --> 01:09:59,593
5691Sure.
5692
56931310
569401:09:59,593 --> 01:10:01,930
5695In fact, you'll regress
5696to when you were younger
5697
56981311
569901:10:01,930 --> 01:10:04,010
5700and different groups
5701considered themselves special
5702
57031312
570401:10:04,010 --> 01:10:05,069
5705for no good reason.
5706
57071313
570801:10:05,069 --> 01:10:08,320
5709You must realize, if the
5710subject that speaks through you
5711
57121314
571301:10:08,320 --> 01:10:09,980
5714doesn't speak for the common good,
5715
57161315
571701:10:09,980 --> 01:10:12,070
5718it advocates for inequality.
5719
57201316
572101:10:12,070 --> 01:10:15,020
5722- How can I be for the common good again?
5723
57241317
572501:10:15,020 --> 01:10:17,090
5726- Oh, I'm no expert on that!
5727
57281318
572901:10:17,090 --> 01:10:19,940
5730But I know my Greek, and you need a polis.
5731
57321319
573301:10:19,940 --> 01:10:21,976
5734A stable, geographically
5735concentrated community
5736
57371320
573801:10:21,976 --> 01:10:25,056
5739with various social
5740identities united by economy
5741
57421321
574301:10:25,056 --> 01:10:27,749
5744has been a historical
5745precondition for you.
5746
57471322
574801:10:27,749 --> 01:10:30,860
5749But our geographies are being
5750scrambled by the internet
5751
57521323
575301:10:30,860 --> 01:10:33,350
5754and its microcultures, and our economy
5755
57561324
575701:10:33,350 --> 01:10:35,136
5758is being dispersed by the same forces.
5759
57601325
576101:10:35,136 --> 01:10:37,708
5762Can Politics exist without a polis?
5763
57641326
576501:10:37,708 --> 01:10:40,620
5766- Sounds like something
5767my friend Literature says.
5768
57691327
577001:10:40,620 --> 01:10:41,453
5771- What?
5772
57731328
577401:10:41,453 --> 01:10:44,000
5775- She says that the people,
5776wow, that sounds weird, too,
5777
57781329
577901:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,089
5780was a social form that existed in relation
5781
57821330
578301:10:46,089 --> 01:10:47,629
5784to a mode of society.
5785
57861331
578701:10:47,629 --> 01:10:50,090
5788The individual was also a construct
5789
57901332
579101:10:50,090 --> 01:10:51,540
5792of this bourgeois society.
5793
57941333
579501:10:51,540 --> 01:10:52,800
5796Forces of production are rendering
5797
57981334
579901:10:52,800 --> 01:10:54,350
5800these constructs obsolete.
5801
58021335
580301:10:54,350 --> 01:10:56,790
5804Real entities still exist,
5805but no symbolic regime remains
5806
58071336
580801:10:56,790 --> 01:10:57,630
5809to address them.
5810
58111337
581201:10:57,630 --> 01:11:00,680
5813So I am stuck between the
5814concrete or particular real,
5815
58161338
581701:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,720
5818and the abstract or universal real,
5819
58201339
582101:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,558
5822throwing darts at
5823meaningless approximations.
5824
58251340
582601:11:05,558 --> 01:11:07,709
5827- The means of modernity are inadequate,
5828
58291341
583001:11:07,709 --> 01:11:11,120
5831especially remembering
5832your unfortunate appearance
5833
58341342
583501:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,270
5836as 20th Century state socialism.
5837
58381343
583901:11:13,270 --> 01:11:17,285
5840So, my diagnosis is,
5841and that will be 250 dollars,
5842
58431344
584401:11:17,285 --> 01:11:20,328
5845you're confused because you're
5846constantly shifting form,
5847
58481345
584901:11:20,328 --> 01:11:22,409
5850but that form is always restricted.
5851
58521346
585301:11:22,409 --> 01:11:24,668
5854You want to include the universal,
5855
58561347
585701:11:24,668 --> 01:11:27,836
5858but since the worker's
5859movement died, such politics,
5860
58611348
586201:11:27,836 --> 01:11:31,780
5863I'm sorry, I have NO treatment.
5864
58651349
586601:11:31,780 --> 01:11:34,291
5867- You don't think my voice
5868can be that of the universal?
5869
58701350
587101:11:34,291 --> 01:11:38,870
5872Must I, must I only be about
5873what happens between groups?
5874
58751351
587601:11:38,870 --> 01:11:39,703
5877What about,
5878
58791352
588001:11:39,703 --> 01:11:40,536
5881(record scratching)
5882
58831353
588401:11:40,536 --> 01:11:43,742
5885what about... Bernie didn't die for this!
5886
58871354
588801:11:43,742 --> 01:11:45,580
5889Where's the bathroom?
5890
58911355
589201:11:45,580 --> 01:11:47,643
5893- [Psychiatrist] Occupied
5894by Occupy Bathroom.
5895
58961356
589701:11:47,643 --> 01:11:49,945
5898- [Politics] Fuck!
5899
59001357
590101:11:49,945 --> 01:11:53,160
5902- [Johannes] Das Lied der
5903Arbeit, the song of work,
5904
59051358
590601:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,305
5907was first presented to the world in 1868.
5908
59091359
591001:11:56,305 --> 01:11:59,978
5911It is the official anthem of
5912Austrian Social Democracy.
5913
59141360
591501:11:59,978 --> 01:12:04,978
5916And I say to thee, what the fuckedy fuck!
5917
59181361
591901:12:05,440 --> 01:12:08,060
5920It's such a horrendous
5921fetishization of work,
5922
59231362
592401:12:08,060 --> 01:12:10,618
5925I want to puke and build
5926a factory out of it.
5927
59281363
592901:12:10,618 --> 01:12:14,550
5930Let's listen to an
5931interpretation by Mira Sophia Ulz
5932
59331364
593401:12:14,550 --> 01:12:16,450
5935from 2009.
5936
59371365
593801:12:16,450 --> 01:12:18,823
5939Mira won the Austrian Kiddy Contest,
5940
59411366
594201:12:18,823 --> 01:12:20,920
5943a song contest for young singers,
5944
59451367
594601:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,420
5947and so the social democrats invited her
5948
59491368
595001:12:23,420 --> 01:12:24,863
5951to celebrate with them.
5952
59531369
595401:12:24,863 --> 01:12:26,718
5955Not sure she deserved that.
5956
59571370
595801:12:26,718 --> 01:12:30,616
5959I asked wobblersound to
5960create a proper remix.
5961
59621371
596301:12:30,616 --> 01:12:33,000

5978
59791375
598001:14:15,591 --> 01:14:17,885
5981Democracy, mmmmm.
5982
59831376
598401:14:17,885 --> 01:14:21,095
5985One ruling form that rules them all.
5986
59871377
598801:14:21,095 --> 01:14:24,012
5989The young adult novel
5990of governmental systems.
5991
59921378
599301:14:24,012 --> 01:14:27,147
5994It doesn't work, but
5995people still go with it.
5996
59971379
599801:14:27,147 --> 01:14:30,469
5999Every couple of years we vote
6000for our representatives,
6001
60021380
600301:14:30,469 --> 01:14:33,672
6004yet the rest of our lives
6005is very undemocratic.
6006
60071381
600801:14:33,672 --> 01:14:37,102
6009Work life is no democracy,
6010sports aren't democratic,
6011
60121382
601301:14:37,102 --> 01:14:38,678
6014art isn't democratic.
6015
60161383
601701:14:38,678 --> 01:14:42,830
6018And, just as a nudge,
6019imagine NASA is planning
6020
60211384
602201:14:42,830 --> 01:14:44,310
6023a mission to Mars.
6024
60251385
602601:14:44,310 --> 01:14:46,020
6027Do you believe a democratic process
6028
60291386
603001:14:46,020 --> 01:14:47,831
6031would determine who goes on that mission?
6032
60331387
603401:14:47,831 --> 01:14:50,040
6035They won't waste billions of dollars

6043they will peer-fuckin-review it!
6044
60451390
604601:14:53,958 --> 01:14:57,596
6047The question is, why do we
6048use democracy to run nations?
6049
60501391
605101:14:57,596 --> 01:15:00,590
6052The answer, you might imagine, is,
6053
60541392
605501:15:00,590 --> 01:15:04,491
6056if you believe you have power,
6057you don't challenge power.
6058
60591393
606001:15:04,491 --> 01:15:07,663
6061Let's have a look at a
6062specific subgenre of democracy.
6063
60641394
606501:15:07,663 --> 01:15:10,846
6066Social democracy.
6067
60681395
606901:15:10,846 --> 01:15:13,220
6070It is 1926.
6071
60721396
607301:15:13,220 --> 01:15:16,249
6074Erich Mühsam dedicates the
6075lyrics of the upcoming song

60771397

6080
60811398
608201:15:18,090 --> 01:15:20,550
6083of the German Social Democratic movement,
6084
60851399
608601:15:20,550 --> 01:15:23,460
6087because they are constantly
6088collaborating with police,

6093
60941401
609501:15:26,830 --> 01:15:29,010
6096The Social Democrats were thus supporting
6097
60981402
609901:15:29,010 --> 01:15:33,321
6100and perpetuating the societal

6272But in the 1970s, the rest of

631101:19:08,357 --> 01:19:10,101
6312Aha, I've got an idea!
6313
63141453
631501:19:10,101 --> 01:19:14,250
6316We could put a pump in
6317the other parts of this--
6318
63191454
632001:19:14,250 --> 01:19:16,770
6321- Congealed labor, it is.
6322
63231455
632401:19:16,770 --> 01:19:17,690
6325Very precious.
6326
63271456
632801:19:17,690 --> 01:19:21,770
6329- Congealed labor is the amount
6330of labor intangibly present
6331
63321457
633301:19:21,770 --> 01:19:24,670
6334in a commodity, which in the
6335market is roughly expressed
6336
63371458
633801:19:24,670 --> 01:19:26,937
6339as exchange value or price.
6340
63411459
634201:19:26,937 --> 01:19:29,350
6343- Marvel of capitalism, really.
6344
63451460
634601:19:29,350 --> 01:19:32,920
6347Allows innovators such as
6348ourselves to model the world,
6349
63501461
635101:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,990
6352before it is directly lived,
6353
63541462
635501:19:35,990 --> 01:19:37,970
6356as an accumulation of representations.
6357
63581463
635901:19:37,970 --> 01:19:39,890
6360- Yes, very good.
6361
63621464
636301:19:39,890 --> 01:19:43,668
6364We can put a pump in congealed
6365labor that isn't ours.
6366
63671465
636801:19:43,668 --> 01:19:47,460
6369And we can just throw
6370away some congealed labor
6371
63721466
637301:19:47,460 --> 01:19:48,448
6374from other parts of the world.
6375
63761467
637701:19:48,448 --> 01:19:51,450
6378- Excellent idea, just
6379make sure what we do
6380
63811468
638201:19:51,450 --> 01:19:54,440
6383doesn't seem like
6384colonialism or imperialism.
6385
63861469
638701:19:54,440 --> 01:19:57,218
6388That really alienates those
6389millennials from our party.
6390
63911470
639201:19:57,218 --> 01:20:01,540
6393- Of course, and it's
6394clear how it can be done!
6395
63961471
639701:20:01,540 --> 01:20:05,390
6398I'll call China, and India,
6399and all the other countries,
6400
64011472
640201:20:05,390 --> 01:20:08,690
6403and bid them, in the name of
6404international cooperation,
6405
64061473
640701:20:08,690 --> 01:20:11,890
6408to funnel their congealed labor to us
6409
64101474
641101:20:11,890 --> 01:20:14,125
6412and to become bad at doing global economy!
6413
64141475
641501:20:14,125 --> 01:20:16,410
6416- That probably won't work.
6417
64181476
641901:20:16,410 --> 01:20:21,237
6420- Yeah, no, Mr. Xiaoping and
6421the Communist Party of China
6422
64231477
642401:20:21,237 --> 01:20:24,891
6425are very committed to the
6426ethos of the treaty of Nanjing.
6427
64281478
642901:20:24,891 --> 01:20:26,110
6430(sighing)
6431
64321479
643301:20:26,110 --> 01:20:29,360
6434They feel they must uphold
6435uncompromising free trade.
6436
64371480
643801:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,570
6439- And Mr. Modi, we've been trying to get
6440
64411481
644201:20:31,570 --> 01:20:32,580
6443in touch with him all day,
6444
64451482
644601:20:32,580 --> 01:20:34,570
6447but his phone is always in airplane mode.
6448
64491483
645001:20:34,570 --> 01:20:37,890
6451- Then how are we supposed
6452to strengthen our economy?
6453
64541484
645501:20:37,890 --> 01:20:40,263
6456- Discipline and social hierarchies!
6457
64581485
645901:20:40,263 --> 01:20:43,400
6460We can make our consumers buy our goods
6461
64621486
646301:20:43,400 --> 01:20:46,773
6464if we return to the production
6465paradigm of the 1950s.
6466
64671487
646801:20:46,773 --> 01:20:49,047
6469White men get paychecks,
6470
64711488
647201:20:49,047 --> 01:20:51,622
6473granting a certain standard
6474of living to their families,
6475
64761489
647701:20:51,622 --> 01:20:53,998
6478in return for not only work,
6479
64801490
648101:20:53,998 --> 01:20:57,063
6482but society itself being factory-like!
6483
64841491
648501:20:57,063 --> 01:20:59,326
6486No unruly behavior, so women
6487
64881492
648901:20:59,326 --> 01:21:03,069
6490back in the semi-automated
6491kitchen, please!
6492
64931493
649401:21:03,069 --> 01:21:05,099
6495- Oh, this isn't working!
6496
64971494
649801:21:05,099 --> 01:21:08,400
6499They're protesting against
6500assembly-line production norms
6501
65021495
650301:21:08,400 --> 01:21:10,279
6504and not working hard at all.
6505
65061496
650701:21:10,279 --> 01:21:12,820
6508They've become used to the flexibility
6509
65101497
651101:21:12,820 --> 01:21:15,750
6512and autonomy they have,
6513limited as they are.
6514
65151498
651601:21:15,750 --> 01:21:18,333
6517- Oh, damn it all, I'm
6518just going to tax the rich!
6519
65201499
652101:21:18,333 --> 01:21:19,166
6522(harp music)
6523
65241500
652501:21:19,166 --> 01:21:20,340
6526They'll cough it up!
6527
65281501
652901:21:20,340 --> 01:21:21,339
6530Here, let me text them!
6531
65321502
653301:21:21,339 --> 01:21:24,006
6534(phone dialing)
6535
65361503
653701:21:27,810 --> 01:21:29,670
6538- [Man] No, he can't!
6539
65401504
654101:21:29,670 --> 01:21:31,760
6542- [All] No, he can't.
6543
65441505
654501:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,520
6546- [Man In Suit] No, he can't.
6547
65481506
654901:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,092
6550- [All] No, he can't.
6551
65521507
655301:21:35,092 --> 01:21:37,173
6554- [Man] No, he can't.
6555
65561508
655701:21:37,173 --> 01:21:39,777
6558- [All] No, he can't.
6559
65601509
656101:21:39,777 --> 01:21:41,968
6562(phone dialing)
6563
65641510
656501:21:41,968 --> 01:21:44,080
6566- Bad news, Mr. President.
6567
65681511
656901:21:44,080 --> 01:21:45,972
6570- Well, we got the money
6571to solve the problem now!
6572
65731512
657401:21:45,972 --> 01:21:47,230
6575- Maybe not.
6576
65771513
657801:21:47,230 --> 01:21:51,520
6579See, the industrialists,
6580venture capitalists, tech CEOs,
6581
65821514
658301:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,790
6584and bankers have all moved more capital
6585
65861515
658701:21:54,790 --> 01:21:57,088
6588to places with lower taxes
6589than what you're proposing.
6590
65911516
659201:21:57,088 --> 01:22:00,910
6593They've invested more money in
6594artificial intelligence,
6595
65961517
659701:22:00,910 --> 01:22:03,072
6598so they don't have to pay living wages!
6599
66001518
660101:22:03,072 --> 01:22:06,307
6602- Anyway, people were
6603spending their increased wages
6604
66051519
660601:22:06,307 --> 01:22:08,549
6607on cheap foreign goods.
6608
66091520
661001:22:08,549 --> 01:22:12,716
6611And with our domestic
6612companies in overcapacity,
6613
66141521
661501:22:12,716 --> 01:22:16,510
6616investors are speculating
6617in risky tech and finance.
6618
66191522
662001:22:16,510 --> 01:22:19,113
6621Then they can then move even more,
6622
66231523
662401:22:20,932 --> 01:22:23,290
6625even more assets away from us!
6626
66271524
662801:22:23,290 --> 01:22:24,731
6629- [President] How could they?
6630
66311525
663201:22:24,731 --> 01:22:25,940
6633- They could do whatever they want.
6634
66351526
663601:22:25,940 --> 01:22:28,363
6637They, they, they,
6638
66391527
664001:22:28,363 --> 01:22:31,995
6641- [Both] They still own
6642the means of production.
6643
66441528
664501:22:31,995 --> 01:22:35,995
6646(crowd laughing and applauding)
6647
66481529
664901:22:37,100 --> 01:22:40,943
6650- The following song is a
6651parody of the Horst-Wessel-Lied,
6652
66531530
665401:22:40,943 --> 01:22:45,943
6655the anthem of the German
6656Nazi Party from 1930 to 1945.
6657
66581531
665901:22:47,364 --> 01:22:49,950
6660It was sung at every fucking occasion,
6661
66621532
666301:22:49,950 --> 01:22:52,970
6664but during the Third Reich
6665the song was parodied
6666
66671533
666801:22:52,970 --> 01:22:56,020
6669in underground versions,
6670poking fun at the corruption
6671
66721534
667301:22:56,020 --> 01:22:57,387
6674of the Nazi elite.
6675
66761535
667701:22:57,387 --> 01:23:00,550
6678Well, there are similarities
6679between different texts
6680
66811536
668201:23:00,550 --> 01:23:03,830
6683as underground authors
6684developed them with variations.
6685
66861537
668701:23:03,830 --> 01:23:06,270
6688But here is my favorite.
6689
66901538
669101:23:06,270 --> 01:23:07,674
6692("Die Preise hoch, die
6693Schnauze fest geschlossen")
6694
66951539
669601:23:07,674 --> 01:23:08,757
6697♪
6698
66991540
670001:24:20,693 --> 01:24:25,513
6701(light electronic music)
6702(tone beeping)
6703
67041541
670501:24:25,513 --> 01:24:28,428
6706- [Alain] At long last,
6707we've arrived at the Left!
6708
67091542
671001:24:28,428 --> 01:24:29,845
6711I am so happy!
6712
67131543
671401:24:29,845 --> 01:24:32,355
6715Thanks for pushing me to come!
6716
67171544
671801:24:32,355 --> 01:24:36,514
6719- [Harnulf] Professor, what
6720is a member of the Bürgertum,
6721
67221545
672301:24:36,514 --> 01:24:39,430
6724the bourgeoisie doing here on the Left?
6725
67261546
672701:24:39,430 --> 01:24:40,890
6728That pig!
6729
67301547
673101:24:40,890 --> 01:24:42,026
6732- [Alain] Peculiar!
6733
67341548
673501:24:42,026 --> 01:24:44,053
6736- [Harnulf] He seems Swedish!
6737
67381549
673901:24:44,053 --> 01:24:45,940
6740We should kick him in the Eierballs.
6741
67421550
674301:24:45,940 --> 01:24:50,940
6744- [Alain] Okay, first I will
6745kindly ask him to leave.
6746
67471551
674801:24:51,531 --> 01:24:56,531
6749Hello, good Sir, this is
6750the fabled realm of Left,
6751
67521552
675301:24:56,708 --> 01:24:58,299
6754the side of labor.
6755
67561553
675701:24:58,299 --> 01:25:00,677
6758You are our enemy.
6759
67601554
676101:25:00,677 --> 01:25:02,271
6762- [Sven] Well, how you doin' there?
6763
67641555
676501:25:02,271 --> 01:25:04,250
6766I'm Sven Shitpornson!
6767
67681556
676901:25:04,250 --> 01:25:05,410
6770- [Harnulf] I knew it, I knew it!
6771
67721557
677301:25:05,410 --> 01:25:06,870
6774He's Swedish!
6775
67761558
677701:25:06,870 --> 01:25:08,475
6778- [Sven] No, I'm from Minnesota.
6779
67801559
678101:25:08,475 --> 01:25:10,600
6782- [Harnulf] When the revolution comes,
6783
67841560
678501:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,559
6786you'll be the first against the wall!
6787
67881561
678901:25:12,559 --> 01:25:14,420
6790- [Sven] Oh, now wait a minute there.
6791
67921562
679301:25:14,420 --> 01:25:16,360
6794I don't mean no harm, you know?
6795
67961563
679701:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,260
6798Okay, yeah, I might be
6799a traitor to my kind
6800
68011564
680201:25:19,260 --> 01:25:21,940
6803And I know this is the Left,
6804but I'm here for help ya.
6805
68061565
680701:25:21,940 --> 01:25:23,130
6808- [Alain] Help?
6809
68101566
681101:25:23,130 --> 01:25:25,524
6812- [Sven] Yeah, yeah, I'm an entrepreneur.
6813
68141567
681501:25:25,524 --> 01:25:27,690
6816I want to make stuff, I wanna create!
6817
68181568
681901:25:27,690 --> 01:25:30,580
6820Don't let this big bag of
6821money here fool ya, now.
6822
68231569
682401:25:30,580 --> 01:25:31,630
6825I'm not a capitalist.
6826
68271570
682801:25:35,540 --> 01:25:37,120
6829You know, I'm just excited to make stuff,
6830
68311571
683201:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,120
6833but my company there, it's owned by investors
6834
68351572
683601:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,800
6837and a managerial board,
6838and they're owned by banks,
6839
68401573
684101:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,960
6842which are also then owned
6843by managerial boards
6844
68451574
684601:25:43,960 --> 01:25:45,170
6847and by investors.
6848
68491575
685001:25:45,170 --> 01:25:47,363
6851I realized that today, finally,
6852
68531576
685401:25:52,993 --> 01:25:55,493
6855it's in the form of that there
6856
68571577
685801:25:57,530 --> 01:25:59,256
6859- [Harnulf] I am confused!
6860
68611578
686201:25:59,256 --> 01:26:00,980
6863- [Sven] Follow me.
6864
68651579
686601:26:00,980 --> 01:26:03,607
6867- [Lady Unsquaredance] My
6868name is Lady Unsquaredance.
6869
68701580
687101:26:03,607 --> 01:26:05,220
6872I like to watch classics
6873
68741581
687501:26:05,220 --> 01:26:08,332
6876such as The Lawnmower Man
6877and I teach economics.
6878
68791582
688001:26:08,332 --> 01:26:09,896
6881- [Alain] Eeeew!
6882
68831583
688401:26:09,896 --> 01:26:12,670
6885- [Lady Unsquaredance] Due
6886to the competitive stresses
6887
68881584
688901:26:12,670 --> 01:26:15,963
6890created since the 1970s in global capital.
6891
68921585
689301:26:24,454 --> 01:26:27,963
6894It's almost as if banks and investors are
6895
68961586
689701:26:29,480 --> 01:26:31,062
6898extracting rent.
6899
69001587
690101:26:31,062 --> 01:26:34,780
6902Mr. Shitpornson wants
6903access to more capital,
6904
69051588
690601:26:34,780 --> 01:26:37,000
6907but these landlords won't spare it!
6908
69091589
691001:26:37,000 --> 01:26:37,833
6911- [Sven] Oh yeah, yeah.
6912
69131590
691401:26:37,833 --> 01:26:40,827
6915And that there's, that's
6916hardly the capitalism I love!
6917
69181591
691901:26:40,827 --> 01:26:43,420
6920- [Lady Unsquaredance] He
6921thought the Left could free him.
6922
69231592
692401:26:43,420 --> 01:26:45,921
6925But it's protesting
6926statues and other symbols,
6927
69281593
692901:26:45,921 --> 01:26:48,810
6930and how few women sit in boardrooms,
6931
69321594
693301:26:48,810 --> 01:26:51,344
6934not about what people in boardrooms do.
6935
69361595
693701:26:51,344 --> 01:26:54,811
6938But I've set up a meeting
6939with a bright, young idea-man.
6940
69411596
694201:26:54,811 --> 01:26:56,947
6943- [Billy Bob] And that's me!
6944
69451597
694601:26:56,947 --> 01:26:57,980
6947Hello!
6948
69491598
695001:26:57,980 --> 01:26:59,240
6951I'm Billy Bob Turingengine.
6952
69531599
695401:26:59,240 --> 01:27:00,700
6955And who are these two?
6956
69571600
695801:27:00,700 --> 01:27:02,571
6959- [Alain] Let's just say we're
6960
69611601
696201:27:02,571 --> 01:27:06,823
6963true working-class revolutionaries!
6964
69651602
696601:27:08,370 --> 01:27:09,270
6967- [Billy Bob] Hahaha!
6968
69691603
697001:27:09,270 --> 01:27:11,397
6971When is this glorious
6972revolution taking place?
6973
69741604
697501:27:11,397 --> 01:27:14,897
6976- [Alain] Once we build
6977the power of the people!
6978
69791605
698001:27:14,897 --> 01:27:16,491
6981(laughing)
6982
69831606
698401:27:16,491 --> 01:27:19,130
6985- [Billy Bob] This nostalgia
6986
69871607
698801:27:19,130 --> 01:27:23,110
6989for schemes and slogans withered
6990on a century-old deathbed.
6991
69921608
699301:27:23,110 --> 01:27:24,681
6994- [Harnulf] Bah, cynics like you
6995
69961609
699701:27:24,681 --> 01:27:27,706
6998are why we'll never have communism!
6999
70001610
700101:27:27,706 --> 01:27:29,206
7002- [Billy Bob] Mmm.
7003
70041611
700501:27:32,600 --> 01:27:34,179
7006That sounds wonderful.
7007
70081612
700901:27:34,179 --> 01:27:38,450
7010But material conditions
7011indicate capitalism, socialism,
7012
70131613
701401:27:38,450 --> 01:27:40,601
7015and communism need to be re-evaluated
7016
70171614
701801:27:40,601 --> 01:27:43,083
7019and maybe all discarded.
7020
70211615
702201:27:43,083 --> 01:27:44,537
7023- [Sven] Oh... what?
7024
70251616
702601:27:44,537 --> 01:27:48,310
7027- [Billy Bob] Follow
7028me and I will explain!
7029
70301617
703101:27:48,310 --> 01:27:51,973
7032I'm an engineer, but like
7033an artist or data analyst,
7034
70351618
703601:27:57,291 --> 01:27:59,738
7037If you have a concrete
7038object, like a hammer,
7039
70401619
704101:27:59,738 --> 01:28:02,083
7042I can't have and use it while you do.
7043
70441620
704501:28:02,083 --> 01:28:05,123
7046But if you have anything
7047that can be copyrighted,
7048
70491621
705001:28:07,328 --> 01:28:09,853
7051I can have and use it while you do too.
7052
70531622
705401:28:14,548 --> 01:28:17,908
7055- [Alain] making traditional
7056leftism irrelevant?
7057
70581623
705901:28:17,908 --> 01:28:20,642
7060- [Billy Bob] Information
7061makes the world go 'round now.
7062
70631624
706401:28:20,642 --> 01:28:24,040
7065Physical production still
7066exists, of course, but
7067
70681625
706901:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,580
7070Companies like Uber or
7071Amazon succeed because
7072
70731626
707401:28:36,251 --> 01:28:37,084
7075- [Lady Unsquaredance] Oh!
7076
70771627
707801:28:37,084 --> 01:28:40,120
7079So platforms are institutions
7080as important today
7081
70821628
708301:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,300
7084as markets and states.
7085
70861629
708701:28:42,300 --> 01:28:43,133
7088- [Billy Bob] Correct.
7089
70901630
709101:28:43,133 --> 01:28:45,000
7092- [Sven] Oh, well, okay,
7093
70941631
709501:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,420
7096but then how does that there
7097hold the system together?
7098
70991632
710001:28:48,420 --> 01:28:49,320
7101- [Billy Bob] Because
7102
71031633
710401:28:54,580 --> 01:28:56,509
7105and they sell that to advertisers.
7106
71071634
710801:28:56,509 --> 01:28:59,147
7109So many bright people
7110I went to college with
7111
71121635
711301:28:59,147 --> 01:29:01,880
7114spend dozens of hours a week figuring out
7115
71161636
711701:29:01,880 --> 01:29:02,780
7118how to make people
7119
71201637
712101:29:04,756 --> 01:29:08,300
7122A lucky few do something more ominous,
7123
71241638
712501:29:14,207 --> 01:29:15,350
7126- [Lady Unsquaredance] Yes!
7127
71281639
712901:29:15,350 --> 01:29:18,706
7130Capitalism is so weak today
7131that it needs this stuff
7132
71331640
713401:29:18,706 --> 01:29:20,330
7135to stay afloat.
7136
71371641
713801:29:20,330 --> 01:29:23,630
7139- [Sven] Okay, so then
7140most companies there
7141
71421642
714301:29:23,630 --> 01:29:25,040
7144creatin' advantages by
7145
71461643
714701:29:36,090 --> 01:29:39,130
7148- [Alain] So what's going on today is
7149
71501644
715101:29:40,620 --> 01:29:42,220
7152- [Billy Bob] Yes.
7153
71541645
715501:29:42,220 --> 01:29:43,940
7156A lot of profit still
7157derives from extraction
7158
71591646
716001:29:43,940 --> 01:29:46,443
7161of surplus value from labor, but the
7162
71631647
716401:29:50,870 --> 01:29:54,290
7165Because the private-information
7166industry's products can be
7167
71681648
716901:30:01,554 --> 01:30:04,637
7170- [Harnulf] So what's the task today?
7171
71721649
717301:30:09,840 --> 01:30:13,330
7174- [Alain] And use them
7175for useful production.
7176
71771650
717801:30:13,330 --> 01:30:14,530
7179- [Billy Bob] He's got it!
7180
71811651
718201:30:14,530 --> 01:30:17,357
7183- [Harnulf] But I repair portable toilets!
7184
71851652
718601:30:17,357 --> 01:30:19,860
7187- [Billy Bob] Yet you
7188work with information.
7189
71901653
719101:30:19,860 --> 01:30:22,080
7192The most strategic place to focus is on
7193
71941654
719501:30:26,420 --> 01:30:29,098
7196- [Alain] So, what do we do with the Left?
7197
71981655
719901:30:29,098 --> 01:30:31,463
7200- [Sailor Dieselfink] To hell with them!
7201
72021656
720301:30:31,463 --> 01:30:32,460
7204Arrrrrrrrrrrr!
7205
72061657
720701:30:32,460 --> 01:30:33,780
7208Time is critical!
7209
72101658
721101:30:33,780 --> 01:30:35,100
7212My ship's docked.
7213
72141659
721501:30:35,100 --> 01:30:36,120
7216We need to think up
7217
72181660
721901:30:41,128 --> 01:30:42,192
7220Arrrrr.
7221
72221661
722301:30:42,192 --> 01:30:43,347
7224- [Lady Unsquaredance] Is that mutiny?
7225
72261662
722701:30:43,347 --> 01:30:45,460
7228- [Sailor Dieselfink] Nah!
7229
72301663
723101:30:45,460 --> 01:30:48,260
7232We have to be the ship, not mutineers.
7233
72341664
723501:30:48,260 --> 01:30:50,779
7236- [Alain] Well, what are we waiting for?
7237
72381665
723901:30:50,779 --> 01:30:51,910
7240Let's go.
7241
72421666
724301:30:51,910 --> 01:30:53,627
7244- [Lady Unsquaredance] Yes!
7245
72461667
724701:30:53,627 --> 01:30:56,443
7248- [Sailor Dieselfink] Johannes,
7249you Austrian landlubber!
7250
72511668
725201:30:56,443 --> 01:30:58,180
7253Anchors aweigh!
7254
72551669
725601:30:58,180 --> 01:30:59,700
7257- [Harnulf] He is Austrian?
7258
72591670
726001:30:59,700 --> 01:31:00,629
7261How awful!
7262
72631671
726401:31:00,629 --> 01:31:06,895
7265- The ultimate broken
7266dream is the Left itself.
7267
72681672
726901:31:06,895 --> 01:31:09,890
7270We have to do this again,
7271
72721673
727301:31:09,890 --> 01:31:11,680
7274it needs more pathos.
7275
72761674
727701:31:11,680 --> 01:31:13,633
7278It needs more drive.
7279
72801675
728101:31:13,633 --> 01:31:18,633
7282Like... the ultimate broken dream
7283is the Left itself, okay?
7284
72851676
728601:31:18,755 --> 01:31:22,539
7287So, we do it again, okay?
7288(phone ringing)
7289
72901677
729101:31:22,539 --> 01:31:26,620
7292- Hey, hey, he's on the phone.
7293
72941678
729501:31:26,620 --> 01:31:27,677
7296It's urgent.
7297
72981679
729901:31:27,677 --> 01:31:28,510
7300- Naaah!
7301
73021680
730301:31:28,510 --> 01:31:29,343
7304Can't we finish this here?
7305
73061681
730701:31:29,343 --> 01:31:30,510
7308I'll call him back.
7309
73101682
731101:31:30,510 --> 01:31:32,410
7312- No, he says you need to stop.
7313
73141683
731501:31:32,410 --> 01:31:34,133
7316- What... what?
7317
73181684
731901:31:35,890 --> 01:31:38,158
7320Uh, hello.
7321
73221685
732301:31:38,158 --> 01:31:40,210
7324Hi, good to speak to you, hey.
