At a time when the world is in crisis, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. The metaverse, generative AI, cryptocurrency, space travel, and transhumanism are existential threats in moral, political, and economic terms, argues Jonathan Taplin’s new book 'The End of Reality: How Four Billionaires are Selling a Fantasy Future of the Metaverse, Mars, and Crypto'. Taplin is joined by Tom Friedman to discuss Taplin’s insight into the power of these billionaires leading to what he believes is the bankruptcy of our society by mass disinformation. They also discuss the Israel/Hamas war and the crisis in the Middle East, and how the current crisis has been impacted by these issues. Recorded January 29, 2024, at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
