of their waking day their phones are next to their bed if they wake up in the middle of the night they get on their phone if they get up in the morning the first thing they check is their phone so we already know the answer where is your teenager your teenager is online on their phone we also know where your adult friends are we also know where your kids are we also know where your your parents are they're all online so we've answered that question the question is what kind of a world we do we want i used to say uh NUMBER_TOKEN years ago that this world was optional that if you don't like it just turn it off it's okay no problem i don't mind i think it's good to take a break you can't take a break from it anymore it's become the way you educate the way you entertain the way you make money right the way you communicate the way you have a social life so we're going to have to adapt these platforms to these human regulations i used to think it's fine to have all that bad stuff online because people can just turn it off but they can't now we're gonna and what you're gonna see whether we like it or not is if the tech companies don't figure out a way to organize this in such a way they will get regulated on this and the initial regulator will be europe and by the way in case we're confused on this china has solved this problem china does not allow anonymous browsing furthermore you so you're logged in they know who you are and they have tens of thousands of people who watch for forbidden speech they have very sophisticated ai algorithms that watch for what people say and then the police come lock come knocking we don't want that i mean i do wonder you know as a religious jew one of the big things for us and it seems to be more and more relevant every day is the sabbath right this this enforced mandatory get offline kind of circuit breaker that exists every friday night to every saturday night and it really does i think ground you in a certain reality on a social level i'm not talking about legislation here on a social level it seems to me that it's going to be very important that human beings do find a way to disconnect from this technology at least for a little while and and start to to re-ground themselves in a material reality that exists offline i agree with that um i worked in in utah for a while and in utah the lds mormons have a similar procedure involving evenings where they're connected only to their family because their families are so important i went with governor bill richardson to north korea a few years ago and one of the things we did is we left our phones before we went to north korea because obviously you couldn't use them and for three days we had an experience that i've not had in decades we talked to each other we got to know each other the traveling group we we enjoyed our trip the moment we got back out of north korea we're online we're back at it it was as though we didn't learn anything from our three days offline and we went right back that's how powerfully addictive these technologies are so in a second i do want to ask you a couple of more questions
