The incomparable Patrick Wood joins Mary to talk about things that no one else is talking about – namely why we never get any answers about what is really going on in Iran. We in the West think of wars and bombs as such as having a beginning, and middle, and an end, with a clear winner. A conqueror.  But in these days of Ai infrastructure and deal making, that should not be a foregone conclusion. What technocracy does is aim at infrastructure. It is in the process of building, nor confronting. Whatever we might think about what the narrative is over there, we might have to rethink it all thanks to Ai. Patrick gives a perspective on this and on the new Prime Minister of Iraq – a true Trump clone – that confirms that trade and investment ala Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff is what is really going on. It was businessmen who negotiated the agreement with Iran. Let that sink in. We also talk about a digital bill of rights that could be implemented at the state level. An hour with very timely answers from Patrick Wood.
