Lionel breaks down the proper, foundational role of government—from police and military to Social Security and sanitation—while exposing why current "iterations of government" fail their citizens. We dive deep into operational failures, including the bureaucratic hoops of securing food stamps using the "magic word" ATC, and the reality of transportation where people ignore paying for "free buses". The stakes are high: when the government stops feeding people, desperation becomes the law and morality becomes optional. But these local issues are distractions. Lionel reveals the true existential threat: unchecked, self-improving Artificial Intelligence. While politicians debate head counts and smile for the camera, the "shadow government" is 5, 10, or 15 years ahead, allowing AI to grow into a ubiquitous, cult-like force capable of overriding human control, plotting harm, and potentially defusing our own defense systems. Find out why AI—not free food or ideological wars—is what truly keeps Lionel up at night.
