He warns of the hidden integration of AI into government systems and the political push behind this agenda, which many fail to notice, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.Patrick stresses the urgent need for critical thinking to challenge technocratic ideologies and protect personal freedoms. He urges individuals to act at a local level, emphasising that community engagement is vital to resist the control of such systems and to stay aware of the direction society is heading.
