WAR against HUMANITY

"Nationalism is the preeminence of national sovereignty, loyalty to a share national identity and citizenship defined as allegiance to the nation state, its fidelity to the constitution or to the foundational principles and methods of the nation, to the idea that all citizens are equal before the law that we all have the same rights and obligations that justice is blind, that we are all innocent of any crime until proven guilty, that the government is limited and constrained by law and it's there to protect these things." "My message to you today is simple – stop the post national experiment." "We were privileged to welcome Ayaan Hirsi Ali back to ARC this year, this time to deliver a passionate keynote encouraging us to hold onto and champion the values that underpin our civilization, and not give in to the deconstructionist ideas of post-nationalism."

"Every technology revolution presents a choice, build for freedom or watch as others build for control." "Elon Musk speaks of raising AI to be truth seeking. We must ask what kind of truth and sought in what way. Because there are two fundamentally different answers. The centralized approach treats truth as a monolith, something decreed by the few, frozen into doctrine, enforced by machines. This is the AI Ministry of Truth, an Orwellian oracle dispensing approved answers through opaque mechanisms. The danger here runs deeper than censorship in the name of alignment or safety. These systems won't just suppress certain viewpoints. They will gradually, imperceptibly narrow the bounds of thought itself, homogenizing and flattening our intellectual landscape. "The alternative is a vibrant marketplace of ideas where truth emerges from the clash of perspectives not from authorities decree. Here knowledge grows and evolves and is shaped by contestation. It draws upon w...

"We don't believe in free speech because we want to go back to the past. We believe in free speech because we know that without it we can't get to the future. We need to speak freely in order to think freely and if we can't think freely we won't move forward. Free speech is not a right-wing value or left-wing value. It's a western value." "Do you feel the tide turning? Not yet? Well, Konstantin Kisin gave an electric speech at ARC 2025." More in the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship video.

The first ARC conference back in November 2023 was formulated as an anti-globalist and anti-Davos state of affairs. "…to bring really classical liberal and centrist conservatives together all over the world to lay out something approximating a new and invitational vision of the present and future." "The ARC Conference 2025 will take place in London, UK, on the 17th-19th of February 2025. We are excited to draw together an invitational community from around the world to be part of the conversation as we work to re-lay the foundations of our civilization."

"Anything that takes other people's capital and uses it to advance a political agenda that that person by the way has no say or even knowledge sometimes of is in fact a scam." ESG stands for Environmental, Social, & Governance. This is what the World Economic Forum's corporate social responsibility initiative is to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for peace and prosperity for people and the planet now and into the future. Both ESG and SDG are essentially the same, a social credit score system to control the world's population.

"'In the face of this ongoing degeneration we must organize better, much better, to uphold the values of individual freedom against all the forms of tyranny that threaten it.'" Liberal democracy around the world is in trouble for three reasons: 1) the rise of illiberal democracy 2) threats from within 3) geo-political There are four forms of degeneration:  1) fiscal – the mounting public debts of Western democracies represent a fundamental breach in that contract between generations 2) market economies – under a growing burden of regulations issuing forth from the administrative state 3) rule of law – became more like the rule of lawyers 4) weakening of association of life – from the degeneration of educational institutions under a combination of excessive state power and a kind of ideological infiltration from within "In the face of this ongoing degeneration we must organize better, much better, to uphold the values of individual freedom again...

Why are Gen Z split 50/50 on which side of the Israel-Hamas War to support? "We have play-based childhoods up until around 2010. I've seen data in Britain, it's something like 60% of British kids in 2009, 2010 used to go over to a friend's house each week. By 2015 that had dropped to something like 20%. The thing is kids used to actually see each other in person and once they all got their phones and loaded with social media for the girls, it's video games for the boys, childhood stops being play-based which is what a mammal brain needs to wire up properly. It stop being play-based. It becomes phone-based where phones include video game consoles. All the stuff that makes your social interactions virtual, often asynchronous disembodied transitory. It's the great rewiring of childhood.  "It happened between 2010 and 2015. It hit the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand exactly the same way. New Zealand is a little big later, but US, UK, Canada are exa...

"This is a talk that everyone has to watch. In the real world, we have to make real trade-offs between climate security, energy poverty, and energy security. Energy is necessary for lifting much of the world out of poverty, however, climate concerns are also real considerations. We need to start a constructive, and honest conversation about these trade-offs. "It looks like the past, not the future."

In this session, Alex Epstein and Marian Tupy discuss the concept of human stewardship of environmental resources. They address the question of whether good stewardship is compatible with abundance and human flourishing. Marian argues that the world is infinitely abundant, as evidenced by the fact that resources have become 98% cheaper since 1850, and that technology and innovation will continue to make resources more abundant. Alex challenges the assumption that the Earth is fragile and argues that humans are producer-improvers who add massive value to the Earth. He suggests that our environmental goal should be to advance human flourishing on Earth, not eliminate human impact. Knowledge is infinite.… The peculiar feature of knowledge is that the more knowledge you consume the more knowledge you end up with and once you understand that you can understand why after 200 years of industrialization we have more resources on Earth than we did when we started. "Without freedom of speec...

"Dr Bjorn Lomborg is the founder and President of the Copenhagen Consensus think tank, which researches the best ways to solve the world’s greatest challenges.Bjorn believes that huge sums of money we want to spend on the climate could be spent more effectively to improve human wellbeing." "Almost all politicians love to tell you we should go Net Zero by 2050, but no politicians have ever asked how much will this cost. I think I know why but we should ask that.… the stuff that they don't tell you is that the cost will be about $25 trillion each and every year. This means it's an incredibly bad deal."

While those in the room were a community of senior thought-leaders from around the world, we want to allow all of you to engage fully in the ideas and speakers of the conference. We...

“We do not get to choose whether we live or die. We get to choose if we live before we die.” “You cannot expect youth to conserve a world that isn’t working for them.” “There are some people whose brains have been broken.
