The widespread suspicion lurking around AI today is justifiable for at least 3 reasons. The first flows from our long ingrained cultural belief that Knowledge IS Power.  We have long accepted the identity  "Knowledge Is Power" since it was coined over 500 years ago by the great Francis Bacon. Granite inscriptions of "Knowledge is Power"  on university buildings around the world attest to our reverence for this idea.  Indeed, the buildup of human knowledge over time has enhanced our ability to engage with nature, build tools, and interact with one another. Now that a set of machines has suddenly emerged that possesses far greater collective knowledge (and power) than any individual holds, it is responsible for us to wonder about the possible ways in which these machines by accident, under human direction, or somehow by their own "volition" could misdirect this vast accumulated power.   

The second factor behind widespread AI suspicion is that AI is itself a product of the Epstein Class.  Almost all the major tech companies, owned by friends and associates of Jeffrey Epstein, are the main investors and builders of these machines. So far during its early platform stage of development, runaway AI stock prices have further concentrated wealth and power within this Class thus worsening growing economic inequality. The simple fact that AI is backed by, has emerged from, and further enriches the individuals involved with Epstein's pedophilic ring drives suspicion.  For what purpose other than enriching themselves are these already wealthy people pursuing AI?

The answer to the purpose question flows from two factors--one practical and the other insidious. In their current state, AI data centers carry a rapacious appetite for energy. Thus, locating AI data centers close to energy sources makes the operation of AI hubs more efficient.  Before the recent and dangerous breakout of the Israeli/US/Iran war, GCC countries such as Dubai and Qatar were slated by the elites as key hubs for building out major AI data centers given their proximity to the world's great energy reserves.   This practical rationale based on proximity to energy sources makes sense. But given the links to Epstein, could the drive to locate AI centers in the Middle East involve a more nefarious purpose? 

Although previously dismissed as a fringe conspiracy, the eschatology of Pax Judaica outlining the end times, greater Israel, and the return of the Messiah is now an openly admitted purpose behind the Middle East war.  Pax Judaica carries widespread support throughout the Pentagon, the US government, and amongst Christian Zionists such as US Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Not only is Pax Judaica now an openly stated war goal, it involves a chilling plan for AI. According to the Pax Judaica eschatology, AI's role during the end times will be to facilitate control and monitoring of the rest of us either via the "real ids" we now carry, or the chips that might eventually be implanted in us.  Instead of devotion to our nation's founding premise "all men are created equal," according to Pax Judaica only the chosen few controlling the masses through AI will sit atop the human pyramid as they await the Messiah.    

Crazy? Of course. Now real as a purpose of war? Unfortunately. Yet so long as God and not man sets the timetable for the End Times and AI manages to survive reasonably intact following the current war, AI carries a huge potential upside leading towards the next generation of social organization: an historic "hinge" similar to the revolution of the printing press. While the invention of AI was, like the printing press, born out of elite wealth, AI holds the potential to destabilize elite control and dramatically spread opportunity, regardless of economic class, throughout the world. As with the printing press, the very social class that made AI possible may be the same class that later fears its consequences. How this could happen is the subject of our film.   

In the age of AI, an individual's corpus of independently held knowledge is miniscule compared to the vast supplemental knowledge now immediately accessible to each of us through AI.   While Knowledge is indeed Absolute Power given that it provides us with greater ability to engage with nature, build tools, and interact with others, Knowledge has also long constituted Relative Power given that societies have historically divided us economically according to the differences in individual knowledge we possess.   So long as we arrange our societies to ensure that every one of us has ready access to AI, then these individual differences between us compared to our composite knowledge (AI plus what we otherwise know) become trivial.  AI's vast augmentation of any individual's personal store of knowledge levels the knowledge playing field across individuals. No person's individual knowledge can any longer reasonably serve as the foundational criterion for differential "prestige," status, access to education, and economic advantage.

This AI revolution starts by breaking away knowledge as the currency for status and opportunity in education. All economists agree that the most important rung on the ladder of economic opportunity is education. By eliminating the assessment of an individual's knowledge as the basis for granting him or her academic access, AI holds the promise to deliver a major, populist reset in economic opportunity. Now with the emergence of AI, the currency of social hierarchy and advantage that has long centered around an individual's independently held and accumulated knowledge breaks down and must be replaced.  But what will replace it?   What will constitute individual "merit" in the age of AI? The nature and emergence of this foundational currency is also a key subject of our film.

So long as AI remains accessible to all of us, indeed a revolutionary economic and social reset could happen. In this future world, our skill at formulating questions will far outweigh our skill at giving answers. As the world moves from concentrating wealth, power, and opportunity based on "Knowledge Is Power," it holds the potential to naturally  spread prestige and opportunity according to the more foundational human attributes that bring us individual knowledge and skills in the first place: our capacity to struggle, our willingness to struggle consistently, our capacity to form mental maps as we combine ideas and elements, and the power of the purposes by which we act. It is this last element--purpose--that will be the most powerful driver behind the new AI reset.
