+ Most Disturbing Presentation Ever: Our Tech Nightmare ("Skinner Box") DICE 2010

[ravensharpless]

Reminds me of how my adblocker hasn't been working lately. Srsly tho this would be hell on earth.

[TimmacTR]

bonus points for believing mass media!!

[owentimo]

1984...

[firelightize]

what's gunna stop it? a mass of people capable of critical thinking that refuse this brain wash nonsense! thats what!

[bluehoneyorg]

Hey wait a second!! I just lost 500 points for watching this video! Thanks Big Brother!

[897Club]

sounds like a premise for some movie taking place in the future

[Cel3ry]

I don't think it's that bad

But I still don't think it will happen.

[Jangaboo]

@Cel3ry its already happening

[strangeland01]

this guy doesn't have a lot of evidence for his wild ideas...

[Knepperify1]

Seems like they viewed 'Idiocracy' and built a business plan around it...

[AndRyznar]

If you don't get enough points you won't go to heaven. amen.

[ferdo621]

well this IS happening to some extent lol. It's not so much about the points but about having technology "on the go". If you have a smart phone you provably don't realize that you watch adds every-time you play a game on your android phone or iPhone, you can send you location to frinds, you use facebook all day, everyday and anywhere where you can connect to it, etc, etc.

[vgscast]

If you act better because of points or because people will look at your points and what you did then YOU ARE A MORON!!!

[RealityofThings]

If our civilization does not crumble first something like the society he is suggesting is well possible and infact probable. Look up the RFID chip if you hav'nt already.

[ovaxova]

OMFG sorry dude, i just heard the last 30 seconds ... he is serious about this :|

[kakan147]

How many points for sex?

[devinhesterbears23]

@kakan147 Could you imagine, ever stroke or every time you thrust you get the +10 points noise go off! And then a bonus for the "climax". XD OR how weird would it be if people can see how well you are at it with like a SEX leaderboard. God that would be awful.

[Arachnalicious]

@devinhesterbears23 Not for all of us... ;D

[RedSquares12]

@kakan147 OVER 9000

[Yourebuying]

What I really find disturbing is how ready and willing the drooling ignorant masses jumped at the opportunity to help DARPA conduct it's threat assessment research of the american people.

There's no other reason why DARPA would be interested in the intelligence sharing capacity of a loosely associated population, unless it were toying with the concept that at some point the government were to find itself fighting it's own people.

[hellcaddie2002]

i hate this man. have some sex without having to pay for it, you ugly fuck.

anyway, wouldn't cigarettes (and just about any vice, let alone having sex without condoms) just put the whole kabash on this anyway? pay for health insurance and smoke at the same time? seems like a big conflict of interests right there.

[madra2]

I did'nt get the point of it.

[madra2]

"EVERYONE plays fantasy FOOTBALL" I have met one person out of all the people in my life that plays fantasy football. I think he may be delusional, and I know a lot of people and live in a large city.

[yourealiti]

wow hes gay.. government giving you incentive for taking the bus? LOL the oil companies would prefer you driving a car! But anyway this is horrible. I cant watch tv because I feel bombarded with adds I would hate the future.

[zelarian]

10 Points for Gryffindor!

[FannyPacDaddy]

Weren't those REM things in Futurama?.........Dear god.

[youtubasoarus]

I wonder if i'll get points for masturbating? That's gotta be like a few thousand at least.

[truthIsStranger]

@youtubasoarus

Well if you use anything bought from a store to masturbate, this guy wants your grandkids to know about it.

[RealityofThings]

@truthIsStranger Thanks for the good laugh:)

[johnl4]

True?

[pccchurch]

Someone please END HIM NOW!!!

[pccchurch]

This is RETARDED!!!

[ovaxova]

@pccchurch i can't belive you rly think he is into this, this is just how retarded gaming industry came to be, all this bullshit happens in cod games, and tenths of millions of people bought them, stripping them of this reward system and points and shit will show how shitty they are, he does not wish for such a world ...

[ave383]

I've tenth prestige before and I can tell you this will control peoples lives,and they will lose it having accomplished nothing.SMH

[D3mi4n]

Points for riding the bus... Ok

Points for "Linksync" of two tatoos ads... WTF!

Horrible Horrible world....

[hozayamz]

These are the "TED" corporate shock-troops who want a microphone up your butt and can't wait to mix the next batch of chemtrail juice. Look at the background of this guy- the Amish should start buying 50 cal. machine guns and buy some concrete companies and build bunkers instead of raising barns.

[o0ENOK0o]

Hey, 2 foot long chumshot. '1000 points' . .

[DMJessieSP]

This future isn't all negative, it can really make people change for the better. It can improve our health, the environment and much more. We are all already controlled by the media, this is just getting controlled in a more direct way. It's not really that much of a difference...

[polevaultrockstr]

@DMJessieSP how about you grow up and just be better because hey....its better! Why do you need to be embarrassed into working out? Do you really think being fat for most people is fun right now?

[Spoonylegs23]

@DMJessieSP i dunno about you but having thousands of stupid sidebar ads bombarding me is already annoying enough on the internet. i personally find advertisements to be EXTREMELY annoying and invasive. its people like you and the moron in this video that will make life a living hell for everyone, just so they can put a few more bucks in their pockets. now excuse me while i go and enjoy a none invasive generic brand tea, oh and heres 60MILLION points for being gullible enough to like that idiot.

[yourealiti]

@DMJessieSP

I don't think lame games will help. These would be trivial details of your life.. If you want to be a good person and be remembered you have no excuse to do so in this day and age.

[engelskogtysk]

lol "bling bling!!!! you just jerked off for the 100th time in your life 100000 points!!!"

[whoiscraig]

Nerdly isn't a word!

[lonewanderer01]

I hope this doesn't happen. I don't want Big Brother to be monitoring my every move. There should be a health balance between being interconnected and independent. That said, the experience points for grades concept is a neat idea. Adding a little fun competition into school couldn't hurt.

[Badwolf182]

this guy annoys the hell out of me.......he is pushing this crap "we dont know what our grandparnets went or read" - (emotive) so what ? we have our own lives to lead. We cant follow someone elses every step....... its nothing short of robots who live to consume. Is this what we have been reduced too. CRAP!

[truthIsStranger]

@Badwolf182

Why wouldn't you want your grandchildren knowing what you insert into your anus?

[Badwolf182]

@truthIsStranger sounds like u have been inserted and probed many times SICK PERVERTED LOSER - WHO even talks like that SICKO

[Spoonylegs23]

@truthIsStranger LOL

[jbs4life]

What's going to stop it? Two middle fingers in the air homie!

lol.. while I do think that the future will be highly computerized I do not believe it would ever become to the situation explained. As a student, I am interested in the new grading system that the professor has incorporated into his classes. Earning experience points and leveling up sounds like a great change while keeping the core properties of an education intact.

[MCD77]

great I can't wait to be "inspired" by fear! Well whats going to stop it? Em pulse weapons wielded by the neo-luddites

[LVanMaren]

They won't inspire us....they'll just suck the life out of us.

[TruSciencePro]

This is all kinds of creepy, sick twisted and wrong. I would never want to live like this ever!

[tryptala]

What's going to stop it? Boredom with it.

[cbeebe007]

hoo lee shit... simma down naw

[TheBlitz1]

Imagine the punishment you will receive from your Orwellian government when you don't collect points like everyone else....

[guildd55]

Creepy



[haylspa]

well you people are already playing video games that makes a psychologic profile of you! based on the choices you make, or did you miss that part?

it's why I stopped playing video games, play a game of dragon age and you will get acheavments and awards online for letting them pic your brain!!! enjoy

[Spoonylegs23]

i can't imagine a worse kind of hell... a place were you will NEVER EVER have privacy of any kind. i'm sure if this reality comes to fruition, that suicide rates will sky rocket. it would be like life laced entirely with banner ads and those annoying commercials that you can't seem to get away from. i am glad that this future he's proposing will never exist.

[Badwolf182]

@Spoonylegs23 hey sorry tto tell u but its here already!

[iamthenrone]

@Spoonylegs23 "i'm sure if this reality comes to fruition, that suicide rates will sky rocket." Yup. It's one way for humanity to sort out the strongest. Survival of the fittest.

[truthIsStranger]

@Spoonylegs23

You say it will never exist, but a decade ago, this presentation would not have occurred.

These people expect suicide rates to skyrocket. Look up "splattergate." It's all just "progress" to them. They think of it more as a social normalization; the problem (you) solving itself.

If anything, learn from this presentation how unabashed these people are - how natural they believe it is to think like this, how readily they expect your agreement.

[Spoonylegs23]

@truthIsStranger this video is why people used to burn witches at the stake....

[soymustache]

@Spoonylegs23 I don't know about suicide rates, but schizophrenics will have ever right to be schizoid.

[Spoonylegs23]

@soymustache yeah probably, this kind of reality could probably lead to what some people call HUD overload. i feel sorry for people with ADD or ADH in this kind of future....

[general010]

Its like the movie where the guy wakes up in the future and everyone is stupid.

How many points for get this guy to quit public speaking?

[reboottees]

wtf scary.

[StunnedByStupidity]

I remember reading a little while back about some research on leaders (CEOs, politicians, etc) and it found a hugely disproportionate representation of narcissists, psychopaths and people who had suffered distress as children (for example the general population has an incidence of losing a parent as a child of around 1 in 30, among leaders this goes as high as 1 in 3), they are also appalling at balancing work and play - workaholics are again over represented. And it is these 'damaged'

[StunnedByStupidity]

@StunnedByStupidity individuals that are telling the rest of us how we should live. Which leads onto this video - which is SO bizarrely naive and dystopic that it drop my jaw. The last time I saw something so bizarre and unrefective was that looney tunes researcher in the documentary 'The Corporation'who spent her time finding out how to make adverts FOR KIDS that got them to nag their parents-where the fuck does the US get these bizarre individuals from. I say to these people GO SIT IN NATURE!

[wozzek22]

I do not play that fantasy whatever. So not everyone is playing it, you moron.

[smudge6699]

Does anyone have a humane killer I could use?

"It is no sign of good health to be well adjusted to a sick society".

Jiddhu Krishnamurti.

I appear to be on an Orwellian ship of fools, when will they ever wake up?

(sigh)

[560e]

Wowee!

When you get CANCER from all the sodium benzoate in the Dr Peppers your local hospital gives you 5000 points for being sick. And your chemotherapy nurse has a tattoo for Dr Pepper & you tell her how you got cancer & she reports you (and get 1000 points from Coca-cola) & then the storm troopers come in & put a bullet in your head & you die, but the one who did the KILL SHOT gets 3000 points & his coworker gets envious & shoots him & the hospital gives him 4000 points for the kill and ...

[Rustyshackleford08]

Gawd what a nightmare world that would be.

[4Th3Truthful]

Virtual currencies will introduce the world into a pre-magna carta era. Neo-Feudalistic serfdom run by pagan/luciferian scientific financial oligarchy. Freedom will die if you take offense to this comment.

[VladsBackupAccount]

I wouldn't say it's "Most Disturbing Presentation Ever" but it sure was interesting to watch.

[captainfreedom78]

The tech nerds at MIT and DARPA like to think of this as human civilization 2.0... I tend to look at it as hi-tech dog training. That's all it is.

Funny how if you're a gaming geek or a tech head and you're for this stuff then it's ok and believable; become aware of these advancements and offer criticism or cynicism about it and other people look at you as a conspiracy theorist. Interesting how marketing and incrementalism has taken its hold on the human brain.

[GnosticMedia]

Wow, it's all corporate crap that I would never use in the first place. Amazing that they can get people excited about such junk. Kill your TV, start thinking critically.

[GeorgeGreekTrucker]

Great

[Evi1M4chine]

People, this may be the most important thing you ever read: There is no absolute reality! Sure, physically yes. But perceptionally, for a brain, no. Reality, for your brain, is whatever fits with your inner model. Which grew from the input you trusted. Which nearly never came straight from a physical event trough your senses. And even then got distorted beyond recognition.

So THE GOAL IS, to make your own consistent reality, and get people to trust you, and YOU WILL CONTROL THE WORLD!

[thisisnotanick]

@Evi1M4chine Everybody knows the map doesn't match the terrain. You are just full of horse dung and you obviously lack the capabilities to provide any evidence."Expert on mind hacking" my behind..

[Evi1M4chine]

You know what’s the most disturbing thing? That he and other game designers really think that this will lead to good behavior. Good for who? Only the companies, making money and controlling us!

I’m an expert on mind hacking, and it seems he has no clue about the psychological mechanics of such a system. You can bet your life, that if it really has to come to it, I will do everything in my power, so I will be the one who dictates things like that. Because I know that without you, I got nothing.

[identicaltonone]

I saw this on another site, said I couldn't watch it over here in England. I honestly couldn't even watch that to the end. It physically makes me ill. Tattoo's with advertisements on them? Does this guy honestly have any friends who aren't bankers? The real issue as I see it (and the most scary one) is that this kind of disgusting dumbing down advertising campaigns getting you to do all this shit will be pushed onto kids, the future generations as 'cool' to do. Honestly MAKES ME SICK LISTENING!!

[oligophagy]

if the first world ever gets to a point of 'disposable technology' where 'every soda can has a cpu and a screen and wifi' then (a) the finite supply of metals & petroleum strip mined & sucked dry from the earth will be very soon exhausted and (b) the earth will be poisoned, the water and the soil and the air will be contaminated and poisoned with the vast irreclaimable wastes of all our fucking stupid nerd shit gadget technology god damn it

[McH0Togo]

Do I get 10 points for finishing the video?

[emmathegroovy]

why would you set up a world with inbuilt competition?  its not the only way to make people do things..

[Chinga411]

this guy creeps me out, what a dark future ahead of us

[GlobalRevolt]

this can happen only in USA...

[ninjasuckit2]

@GlobalRevolt

.......and in Japan

[lordkoos]

@GlobalRevolt

Unfortunately I think this can happen in any developed country.

[670Kiester]

What a shitty vision of the future.

Thanks for uploading though, this got ripped down from globalbehives channel by comcast

[jeffdonckers]

@670Kiester I'm glad it was. The video by Comcast wasn't available in my country...

[Cradle2Venus]

i don't see how this is instantly big brother-ish. Most corporations just do what makes money, CEOs don't wake up in the morning thinking "hm... how can I spy on my customers today?", they just want the profit motive to be as large as possible
