  • I like the analogy about the military being a hammer and other countries being nails.

  • he has very good information... and i know for sure....because i have spent the last 30 minutes searching google.........seriously......­im probably going to invest in gold and pray to some made up gods...hope this comment helps you fence-sitters

  • @alannahtenagss16 "Many prominent technologists and academics dispute the plausibility of a technological singularity, including Jeff Hawkins, John Holland, Jaron Lanier, and Gordon Moore, whose Moore's Law is often cited in support of the concept" - wikipedia

  • Thanks Jim.

    No, it`s James. lol

  • Did he just say he can live forever and he thinks he can be god because he's rich enough. That's what I got from this... I agreed with just about everything until that part at the end which seems slightly delusional.

  • @MikeTamillow that may be what you got from it, but its not what he said...

  • @MrGiggity890 No, No, No!!!! I know what people express about their character by what they say... he has a fear of death and a desire to be god. Not good character traits, attributes of the devil himself. 

  • @MikeTamillow ok bub, whatever you say

  • @MikeTamillow look up Ray Kurzweil, Casey's not delutional

  • @MikeTamillow wtf are you talking about? what kind of a perception problem do you have?

  • I've been listening to these two guys for a decade. They both are sharp.

  • This is the longest interview with Doug Casey that I've seen...he's a clear-headed thinker, and looks forward to the future as a technological marvel.

  • @PrismaMD You are a very dumb person.

  • He mentioned "supercycle" at 9:09. I assume that is an elliot wave reference, but I thought Casey wasn't into technical analysis, particularly in such a voodoo-ish form.

  • Doug Casey and James Turk in this video encapsulate most of what you need to know about what situation we're in right now. A must-see video!

  • these dudes are ballers

  • Great video. Could you please expand a little bit into Shorting Bonds? Prices are going up as well as the yields. Should it do otherwise?

  • Stand By Doug , Aliens are st the Door !... LoL ;-)

  • Man this guy is good............ very clear minded.

  • The idea that the rich would have their lives extended and enhanced while the rest of humanity withers and dies is terrible. I doubt humanity would tolerate it. The 99% of the world that would not have access to this biotechnology would revolt. I don't know if a revoilution would be successful, though.The future looks bleak.

    Ever see the film " Zardoz" ?

  • @joel1923 what makes you think they are not doing it right now? :-)

  • @flaabmrlinux Because Ariel Sharon no longer runs israel.

  • Nation states work, but only if immigration is tightly regulated. Out of control immigration destroys nation states. Look at the United States. It's become an immigration toilet.

  • hmm, good point chap

  • Free uncontrolled immigration have sunk the West. The Earth will become one vast Third World.

    Too many immigrants care nothing for the countries they immigrate too. And Westerners have to pay to raise these people's children...

  • @PrismaMD " Ayn Rand and objectivism is a ridiculous notion as well. "

    only to people with small minds and smaller imagination, people who are happy being "led".

  • this interview is incredible, love Doug Casey

  • very good information and facts

  • @27july1954

    I also agree with him that there should be a reward if you have responsibly accumulated your wealth. If you choose to not be charitable with your wealth and keep it for that possible future technology of immortality, then that is your choice. You should have the freedom to do whatever the hell you want with your wealth as long as you aren't harming anyone.

  • @27july1954

    An unregulated free market would still be policed. You cannot kill me or burn down my competing business without consequences. This is definitely a utopian view because the wealthy would still be able to compromise the accepted policing authority, but this is exactly why he talks about national governments being a bad thing. I agree. I think smaller communities, would govern themselves fine and would leave room for people to leave and find communities they are happy with.

  • @27july1954

    "accumulation of capital through overproductivity"

    This makes complete sense to me. I don't understand the confusion you are having with this. If I make 100 dollars a week, and my expenses for survival are 90 dollars a week, then I have accumulated 10 dollars of capital. Have I not? I mean, it would be stupid of me to demand from my employer only what is required for my survival, right? Especially if he desires, and is able, to pay me more?

  • When I grow up, I want to be a doug casey.

  • What a truly bleak world this guy presents, unless you are wealthy of course, and they are the only one's who deserve it. I do not want to live in his world...

  • He doesn't believe the Government has a right to exist? What planet is this guy on??? Then just how does he think a Government exists at all? Maybe something to do with just about everyone wanting it, because the alternatives are just too horrendous to contemplate. All I have heard from him is what "I" want, and anything that serves that is ok by him. Heaven preserve us from people like him!...

  • "I'll do anything if the price is right". There you are. No consideration of social consequences. Money is the motivation, so what chance for social welfare? It comes down to this. Does he, or do you for that matter, care about social welfare, that is the individual circumstances of every individual. If you don't care, then let them die. If you do, what do you want to do about it? This guy doesn't give a toss...

  • @27july1954 when quoting ("") make sure you repeat exact words - otherwise it's a lie. If that's quoting taught by your marxist teacher - well, I'm not surprised, yet still disgusted.

  • @grraadd, how pedantic of you. While strictly correct (that quotes should be exact), to claim that it is a lie is just puerile and shallow. Was that not the substance and meaning of what he said? So it is more important to criticise details than debate substance? You think I am a Marxist? No wonder we are in trouble. I'm sorry for you...

  • What these 'Free Market' advocates seem not to address is why we have rejected their philosophy. The ultimate unregulated free market is what used to be, and folks then saw that the result is exploitation; financial anarchy. Consequently, societies have implemented regulation in order to try and moderate the anti-social consequences (one of the purposes of democracy). These guys want us to go back to all that shite?

  • @27july1954 A free market is a self-ownership society, nothing close to that has ever existed.

  • @digitallando actually, the USA before 1913 was the closest

  • Accumulation of capital through over productivity (i.e. producing more than you need). That's what he is saying, no? Does that make sense to you?

  • Despite this being a depressing subject I found this interview riveting and very helpful in understanding what to do in this economy

  • hands down the best Doug Casey interview Ive yet seen - i havent seen many but i have seen a few including one billed as his best ever interview not so long ago - but this is at a whole new level. AWESOME!

  • Wow Jim!, this is your best peice of work to date. Great guest, awesome coverage. Very thought provoking. I am saving up for my new spare body LOL.

    It would be great to open a GoldMoney office down here in New Zealand. I hope you can top this interview one day.

  • Doug Casey probably reads too many science fiction books. I like to remind people that technology is not an energy source & there will be a couple of problems/predicaments in this area e.g. uranium, coal & oil. There is 10 calories of hydrocarbon energy in every 1 calorie of food consumed that was produced using modern mechanized agriculture. There are also issues with fresh water, top soil erosion, increase in urbanization etc. I can't imagine the future getting better.

  • "Hold onto your hat because we're in for a wild ride"

  • Great interview

  • how do the rich taste?

  • 34:20 and on = damn straight!

    I agree with everything here, good interview.

  • amazing interview!

  • 35:20 Just how do you go further than defaulting on the US debt?

    36:05 great description of the dollar vs the euro.

    43:00 As interesting at it may seem, I just don't see new nation groups forming around personal beliefs or interests. Most people don't have the wherewithal to move to a new country, learn a new language and hope to make it. That would be limited to a few really motivated people, and I doubt the old nation groups will quietly shuffle off into oblivion without a fight?

  • He was doing great until the end. Sorry man, you will not be able to buy another body, you will not live forever with all your money.

  • @onemindonespirit You're obviously not very informed. w w w.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=­5975132n

  • @jtgluck I love how the singluarity freaks all jump up to defend their crazy faith. Sorry, you won't live forever either.

  • @onemindonespirit I'm not a singularity freak, I'm not even sure what you're referring to with " crazy faith " ? Is singularity some type of new religion ? I'm just pointing out that it's possible to grow new body parts. Calm down you crazy christian.

  • @jtgluck I love youtube douche bags. Have fun growing body parts and downloading your brain into a computer. Yeah. Good luck with that. Bye douche.

  • @onemindonespirit You've resorted to baseless name calling, I'm impressed. I'm pointing out the fact that it's already possible to grow new body parts and you're responding with some type of paranoid-rhetoric, as opposed to rational independent thought. Do yourself a favor and start taking those meds the doctor prescribed you :)

  • you're obviously not very informed. google > "growing body parts" and you can watch the entire 60 Minutes report on it.

  • great interview covered all at of segments. But the end, buying body. good luck with that because you can out smart human nature but not the mother nature. she will get you.

  • @fhsspeed you're obviously not very informed. google > "growing body parts" and you can watch the entire 60 Minutes report on it. 

  • @jtgluck I have see that, thanks.

  • I was the 562nd viewer.

  • at 40:57 why such a dumb mistake

    its not 150 countries its over 200 and languages are not 400 something. its more than 5000.

    I are talking the truth but with some mistaken numbers

  • @robban10

    I think Casey is behind the times. The discoveries he talks about are probably already here. Not every breakthrough is made public, which means secret technologies can advance exponentially faster than the mainstream.

    The  wealthy would not need the bulk of the population any more. Machines can do the work, with a few servants and technicians, and the rest are expendable.

    Piercing insights!

  • Doug Casey is a nice old man. He is very precise and gives a "grandfather's" point of view to the world and me. I like listening to him. There's wisdom there. As there is real wisdom in most of our elderly. But sadly most everyone does not hear what they have to say. But I do. I plan to lose very little during this greater depression as I prepare accordingly. Physically. Menatlly. And spiritually.

  • Thank you Doug and James.

    Thankfully Doug was one of the ones who woke me up over 20 yrs ago and I have been the better for it.

  • Great interview except for the last 7 minutes when he went AWOL

  • He had me until speaking so highly of the idea of 'singularity.' Failing to realize that 'singularity' may be the single greatest threat to humanity and freethought. And to try to predict anything in the event of 'singularity' is rediculious, all bets are off. Sounds like an unsatisfied man who can't cope with the enevitability of death.... But I love his ideas on economics.

  • @questionculture On what basis do you make those statements that singularity is the greatest threat to humanity and freethought?

    Does wanting to live a long life imply that a person can't cope with the inevitably of death? No it doesn't. Enjoying being alive, and wanting to be alive for a long time is natural. At least from my perspective.

  • "A petting zoo." LOL The way he talks is likeable. Holds nothing back.

  • @gog ...like I said..'good luck with that' ...you're going to need it.....could not agree more with everything else he says in terms of building and preserving wealth for the future...as for living forever ...sure noble ideal...but why would you want to do that in this feeble flesh...wake up monkeys

  • I smell Ayn Rand in the air:D Great conversation. Great teachers. Thank you.

  • Very inspirational in many ways, although he really tells it like it is.

  • I hope doug is right about the "make yourself a new body" thing. That would be good.

  • great interview.....until he talks about getting a new body to move into.....shows a total lack of spiritual knowledge and a fundamental fear of death....everything else was most insightful....sad that such a seemingly intelligent person is utterly limited by a child's fear of the unknowable so much so that the goal becomes cheating death and thwarting natural law....good luck with that!! While you and Kurzweil are stuck playing with sticks and stones on kindergarten Earth we'll be long gong..

  • @swbarb1 Some people do want to live forever (Or very long) and it's a respectable desire in my opinion. Death is a nasty thing.

  • Wow ! - I can't believe he's read Kurzweil and Drexler.

    Awesome interview !

  • wow! some great insights from a couple of pros!

  • awesome interview James!

  • anyone know about venezuela got their gold from the banks that keep their gold
