The price of the advancement of technology lies in the risk of becoming enslaved to it. With so many voices advocating for different directions for the future of technology, it is sometimes hard to gauge the correct relationship humanity should have with tech. Technology, especially social media, is easily viewed as a scourge of modern society. However, it may also be one of the keys to saving America from a spiral into tyranny, as Michael Cernovich suggests.
On “Zero Hour,” Michael Cernovich, an independent filmmaker and author of “Gorilla Mindset,” joins James Poulos to discuss the concepts of time, the West’s narrow understanding of history, and the benefits and drawbacks of technological advancement.
Cernovich argues that we live in a peculiar historical period, which he calls the age of “tech,” in the sense of technology as we know it today, with communication and sharing information. In his view, technology is a key factor in deciding the trajectory of America today: “Trump doesn’t win 2016 without Twitter. America is a right-wing culture, so right-wing that the media had to lie to prop up these other people as moderates and centrists.”
They talk about the transhumanist movement in which people seek to merge their consciousness with technology because they “hate their body and hate humanity as a result.” After dismissing these people as “kooks” and “weirdos,” Cernovich compares the current movement to some of the worst events in recent history, such as Mao’s crushing of China or the Soviet tyranny in Russia.
Poulos adds that, in each case, these events were forced and “compulsory” for the entire population rather than being a fringe movement that left everyone else alone. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
