This week our friend, and one of our favorite people in the Universe, Mr. Douglas Lee, joins us LIVE in the studio for a conversation about the future of our country and the world. In particular, we explore solutions for the aging bureaucracies, bridges, and financial institutions. Doug is a civil engineer who designs railway systems for major government projects on the West Coast. He has a brilliant way of seamlessly transitioning between the mechanical and civil aspects of engineering that inspires all the best dreams of what could be. 00:00:00 Go! 00:00:17 Top 5 Oregon Attributes 00:05:23 Why mortgages are piracy 00:14:40 Building bridges 00:21:47 Modern monuments 00:23:43 Longest science experiment ever 00:25:45 The past is an eternally receding destination 00:27:11 A pile of rubble at ground zero 00:36:39 Coming to terms with disturbing beliefs 00:38:59 Responsibility in the face of realization 00:44:28 Talking about things that only might be true 00:51:52 Why a one world government feels so creepy 00:56:28 Luxury of a moral compass 01:00:59 Going through the back door 01:06:00 Get rid of the middleman 01:08:08 A siphon for wealth 01:11:24 Do I want to be part of the machine? 01:17:42 National debt 01:19:57 A list of solutions 01:22:57 Private equity and fractional ownership 01:32:26 Transformative experience at Burger King 01:43:03 Shaking up monopolies 01:44:02 Disclosure as an impetus for change 01:49:21 How ideas pass into reality 01:59:56 The Walmart model 02:01:46 It's not enough to tweak one knob 02:08:28 You can influence the future 02:10:55 Closing thoughts Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub #engineering #disclosure #revolution Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.
