This video makes a powerful observation: AI is accelerating change, and it will fragment society, reshape identity, and threaten those who can’t—or won’t—integrate with it. But there’s an unspoken assumption behind this: that AI is evolving within the same centralized, extractive, trustless system we already inhabit.
What if that foundation changes?
If we transition to an energy-backed, decentralized, and coherent protocol—like Bitcoin—then AI doesn’t have to fragment us. It becomes a tool of symbiosis, not division. A way for individuals and local systems to amplify their value without leaking energy into surveillance, manipulation, or top-down control.
The real problem isn’t AI. It’s the protocol beneath it.
In a fiat-based system, AI becomes a centralizing force. It rewards those who conform to the extractive game, and discards the rest. That’s why the video implies that “the meek” or “the luddites” might inherit the leftovers of the system—they're not competitive in a rigged environment.
But that’s not inevitable.
If we secure the foundation—if our value layer reflects real energy, real time, and real privacy—then AI can be trusted. It becomes regenerative, not extractive. It serves the user, not the state. The mitochondria stay intact. The local node isn’t drained—it’s empowered.
And this goes deeper—because this isn’t just a technical problem. It’s an interface problem. Our awareness protocol—the way we interact with reality—is corrupted. Ego, formed under fiat’s broken feedback loop, is a buggy interface. It doesn’t measure energy over time. It can’t speak in coherent, grounded terms. It reacts, protects, and distorts.
But if we solve that bug—if we replace egoic inflation with anchored coherence—then we can interface cleanly with higher-level protocols like AI. We can actually cooperate with artificial intelligence because we’re speaking the same language: energy over time. Signal in, signal out.
Until we fix the input, we’ll keep projecting garbage into the system—and getting garbage back. But with the right interface, we become symbiotic. We scale trust, not control.
And here’s the embodied truth underneath it all: our awareness is the local reflection of the larger system. Right now, it's running like a centralized operating system. Ego assumes control over the body like a tyrannical CEO—ignoring the body's natural decentralization, its somatic coherence, its parasympathetic intelligence. We're dominated by a sympathetic, fear-based loop.
So naturally, we project the same structure onto our technologies—assuming AI will mirror the same top-down control we’re trapped in internally.
But if we anchor awareness in the body—decentralized, connected, parasympathetically attuned—we become locally coherent. And only then can we change the larger system. You can't decentralize the world from a centralized awareness.
This entire premise of AI-induced collapse comes from a fear-based ego—one that assumes humanity will fail to coordinate. It doesn’t see the very real probability that we can adopt an energy-backed, time-bound consensus. That we can upgrade the base layer. That we can become compatible with the future we’re afraid of.
AI isn’t the threat. Our distorted interface is. Fix the protocol—inside and out—and the future becomes symbiotic, not dystopian.
