In our Trust Factor Topics of the Week:

I will COVER some News from Last Week that are TOPICS that Raise or Lower our Levels of Trust based on Evidenced-based Rational, Common Sense based Perceived Truths:

Presidential Candidate RFK Jr. Delivered an In-Depth Overview of Vaccines and Childhood Injuries and Diseases on the Joe Rogan Podcast this past Week -- Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and a few others are bidding: $2.80+ Million for Vaccine Scientist Peter Hotez to debate RFK Jr on JRE Podcast.

The goal of the debate is to highlight:
• Misinformation or Accurate/Truth Information
• Conspiracy theories or Information based on New Studies
• About the efficacy and safety of Covid 19 treatments

Do You Think Peter Hotez Declining this Debate Invitation builds our TRUST in Him as An Authority, or is it Accurate even in the face of his appearance of being credible on this topic?

What Do YOU Think?

USDA Approves First Lab-Grown Meat in U.S., But Scientists, Food Safety Experts Aren’t Sold on It --

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Last Wednesday approved the sale of lab-grown meat for the first time, giving two California-based food technology startups the green light to sell chicken grown in a lab from animal cells.

Do You Trust that this Increasing Move Towards Food Companies in making Lab-Growing Replacement Meat will be as Healthy for the Human Body as Grass-Fed Meat?

What Do YOU Think?

Do You Trust the USDA when much of the funding for many regulatory agencies comes from the Industry Being Regulated? What Do YOU Think?

How is Trust Earned?

Truth is Aligned with Trust Indeed, pondering how trust is earned can be a valuable exercise. Trust is often built through consistent and reliable actions that align with one's words, actions, and intentions. It involves being provable, honest, keeping promises, and demonstrating competence and expertise in a particular area. As I have said in this how many times – Building trust requires: active listening, empathy, and understanding, which contribute to establishing meaningful connections with others.

Ultimately, trust is a gradual process that grows over time as people observe and experience the reliability and integrity of one another. Trust is closely tied to truth. Truthfulness is a fundamental element in building - maintaining trust. When someone consistently tells the truth and acts in a truthful manner, it establishes a foundation of trust. Provable Truthfulness creates confidence.

Trust is often eroded when there is a provable breach of trust, such as dishonesty or deception. It is Interesting “When truthfulness is upheld and demonstrated consistently, it strengthens and begets more trust and reinforces the belief that one can rely on the words and actions of others.”

Trust Factor with Rob Greenley, focuses
on all aspects to building human trust in

2
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:13.439
online communications. In this week's show, how is trust earned and how trust

3
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:19.679
is aligned with truth? New this
week, I'm going to cover some top

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.679
news headlines from last week that will
challenge our perception of trust as examples.

5
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.160
So Rob Greenley here again, thank
you for joining me here back on the

6
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:36.000
show. I appreciate you spending time
and joining me here. I appreciate it

7
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:43.200
so much. The trust factor in
our live is essential and profoundly impacts our

8
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:49.520
happiness, security and safety. So
the information all around us needs to be

9
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:58.799
evaluated based on our gut filter,
our feeling of authenticity, believability shown experience

10
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.519
on the part of someone that's trying
to get trust, and thinking about conflicts

11
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:11.680
of interest as a backdrop to all
new and controversial data or basic information.

12
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.680
So trust building is the number one
factor really in all of our lives right

13
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.560
now. So what I'm going to
do with this show, I'm going to

14
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.000
take it in a new direction to
some degree, and I'm trying new things.

15
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.519
I'm experimenting with different formats and so
bear with me and let's head down

16
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.040
this new direction. This week.
I'm going to cover some news from last

17
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:42.319
week that are topics that raise or
lower our levels of trust based on the

18
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:49.120
evidence based, rationale, common sense
based perceived truths. Right, So,

19
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.799
as we think about the things that
we hear in our world around us in

20
00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:01.519
the news headlines, what passes a
test of rational, common sense and perceive

21
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.280
truth And one example that I wanted
to show today was a fairly significant breaking

22
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.960
story that happened basically around the Joe
Rogan podcast. So what I'm going to

23
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:23.400
do is pull that there's an article
that appeared on this topic that basically it

24
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.840
was r FK Jr. Who's a
presidential candidate. He basically went on to

25
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:36.039
Joe Rogan podcast and he delivered an
in depth overview of vaccines and childhood kind

26
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.879
of injuries and various diseases that he
talked about on the podcast. So what

27
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:50.479
this sparked was a desire on the
part of some online Joe Rogan, Elon

28
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:59.000
Musk and others to challenge a person
who is out there known as an expert

29
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:07.080
and in vaccines. His namers,
Peter Hotez and Joe Rogan threw it out

30
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.879
that he would offer him one hundred
thousand dollars to come on his podcast with

31
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.319
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who's
running for president, to talk about all

32
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:25.159
of the issues around misinformation, of
accurate and truth just I think generally,

33
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:32.360
but more focused on the theories around
what's happening with the COVID and treatments and

34
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:38.280
the efficacies and the safety of the
treatments that has happened. And there's this

35
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.319
tension that exists between all these parties, whether it'd be Joe Rogan, Elon

36
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.199
Musk and a few others who were
bidding up to two point six million dollars

37
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.280
to donate to a charity, if
Peter Hotez, a vaccine scientist, would

38
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:59.639
come on the Joe Rogan podcast.
And my comment on this is really as

39
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.240
it really lates to trust, is
it? Do you think and if you've

40
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.759
had a chance to actually look at
this article or look at the tweets that

41
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.560
have gone on around this in the
topics, if you happen to watch the

42
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.639
conversation that Joe Rogan had with RFK
Jr. I'm turning it out to you

43
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:23.279
to say what passes your trust test
on this? Do you think Peter Hotez

44
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:29.680
declining because so far He's declined this
offerer of all this money to go to

45
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.800
a charity to come on the Joe
Rogan podcast and talk about all these issues

46
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.959
and clear the air of sorts.
And I'm all in favor of everyone getting

47
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.279
together and talking about this stuff.
I'm not saying this because there's a certain

48
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.079
kind of agenda that I'm trying to
push forward. I think there are other

49
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.199
ways of looking at this. There's
a variety of different ways of looking at

50
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:56.319
this. And one thing that builds
trust is when all parties that disagree get

51
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:01.560
together and talk about an issue and
bring evidence and bring confirmation that we can

52
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:06.879
all come together. And do you
think that this effort on the part of

53
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:13.759
Joe Rogan and the decline Peter Hotez, which is a who is a vaccine

54
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.360
expert to come on and talk about
this and try and debunk some of the

55
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:26.199
things that RFK Junior has stated on
the podcast about the efficacy of the COVID

56
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:33.000
treatments. Do you trust Peter that
he's being truthful here, he's trustworthy as

57
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:42.000
an authority or even is he accurate
to even face being on this program and

58
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.079
being challenged with his thoughts and does
that put him in a less than incredible

59
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:51.120
light when everybody else wants to talk
about these issues that he doesn't appear to

60
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.480
be willing to do that. So
what do you think, once you put

61
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.160
it in the comments, if you
happen to take a position on this or

62
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:08.800
think that we should just blindly trust
Peter Hotez that he's got his scientific basis

63
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:15.519
for his position here and that RFK
just doesn't doesn't have the facts. I

64
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:17.720
know. I want to find out
what's what the truth is here and what

65
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.959
is what I can believe in,
what I can trust. So yeah,

66
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.439
just give me your comments and your
thoughts on this, and would love to

67
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.120
hear your thoughts on this if you
even followed it or not, I'd be

68
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.360
really curious. Let's move on to
the next topic. So what I wanted

69
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:42.839
to talk about was the I'll share
the screen again and you can see this

70
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:53.600
screenshots the the USDA has here.
It's coming up on the screen. The

71
00:06:53.720 --> 00:07:00.360
USDA has approved its first lab grown
meat in the US. I don't know

72
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.000
if all of you saw the headlines
on this. Scientists and food safety experts,

73
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.639
I guess are still not sold on
it. I guess the US Department

74
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.439
of Agriculture last Wednesday approved the sale
of lab grown meat for the first time,

75
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:21.040
in giving to California based food technology
startups the green light to make and

76
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:28.319
sell chicken grown in a lab from
animal cells. So that's the main story

77
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:38.240
here. Do we want to trust
that the food companies and science can actually

78
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:45.160
healthily replicate meat for all of us
to concern for all of us to consume

79
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:51.360
under the perception that maybe maybe it's
not good for our climate or our planet

80
00:07:51.519 --> 00:08:00.120
to have livestock, and maybe it's
unethical to kill animals in the sake of

81
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.079
food. So I can see all
the arguments for this and why we might

82
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:09.079
want to move this direction. There's
concerns about general cruelty to animals, But

83
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:15.759
the big question is do you trust
that this increasing move towards food companies in

84
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.800
making lab grown replacement meat. This
has been going on for a long time.

85
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.160
There's the Impossible Burger that's been around
for a long time that's also based

86
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.800
on lab grown meat. But they're
claiming that this is real meat because it's

87
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:35.080
based on animal cells. What to
see on that is that going to be

88
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.879
as healthy as for human beings as
grass fed meat, which is what I

89
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:48.519
consume is I consume mostly as much
grass fed meat as I can because it's

90
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.039
generally known that there's more nutrients in
that. Meat that generally is more like

91
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.600
grain fed or corn fed typically doesn't
have the nutrient profile to be as good

92
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.039
for the human body. So you
know, until there's more tests. And

93
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.200
this is a common thread that's going
on here that all these whether it be

94
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:16.559
treatments for viruses or lab grown meat, we need to verify and trust that

95
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:22.240
these things are healthy for our bodies
and that it's not going to cause more

96
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.279
problems than we're trying to solve.
And the last question that I want to

97
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:33.320
pose on this article too, is
do you trust that the increasing kind of

98
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:39.799
decisions on the part of the USDA
are valid These type of decisions we're going

99
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.919
to see increasingly from the FDA and
from the USDA, do we trust them

100
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:54.000
when much of their funding comes from
either the food industry or big pharma.

101
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.519
It gets back to is it is
it reasonable to think that maybe there's some

102
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.600
influence it's there that may be going
on because of the funding that's coming in

103
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:11.200
from in this case, the food
industry or the pharmaceutical industry into these regulatory

104
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.879
agencies that maybe there's some influence going
on there, and I think it raises

105
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.240
question on lots of fronts on that
side, So I wanted to give credit.

106
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.840
As you've seen on the screen,
the Defender is the website that I'm

107
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:31.440
pulling some of these stories from because
they're raising just some valid questions about the

108
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.840
things and a lot of the changes
that are being contemplated in the world.

109
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.639
And this is one of the big
reasons why I think trust is such a

110
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.799
big issue. So let me knock
down that article and we can move on

111
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.000
here. So after this, I
kind of want to take a break.

112
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.840
I do have a sponsor of this
program and it's a stream Yard, which

113
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.960
I'm actually using to produce this show, so I wanted to play a little

114
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.600
message from them, and then we
can come back and then we can resume

115
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.240
talking about the topic that I want
to wrap the show off with at the

116
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:11.279
end. So here we go.

subscribe on YouTube, so I certainly
would would encourage you to do that.

128
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:13.759
It helps the algorithm and helps make
this show found by more viewers and not

129
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.840
so much listeners, but I guess
viewers. So in the next segment that

130
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.200
I wanted to talk about here is
our kind of trust factor topics of the

131
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.759
week. Those are two concepts that
I wanted to share here, and one

132
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.360
is how is trust earned? And
trust is aligned with truth? So we

133
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.840
have these kind of similar topics,
but in really indeed, pondering how trust

134
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:45.360
is earned can be a pretty pretty
valuable exercise in all of our lives.

135
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.039
And as we just ran through in
the earlier parts of the show, I

136
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.639
think it's good fodder or good kind
of like material to apply some of these

137
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:01.360
concepts too, and how we think
about trust and truth those kind of run

138
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.559
together in a lot of ways.
But plus, I do know that we've

139
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.320
talked a little bit in past episodes
about earning trust, but let's run through

140
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.679
them again as a backdrop to the
overall topic of the alignment of truth and

141
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.000
trust. So I would say that
trust is often built through consistent and reliable

142
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:28.879
actions that basically align with one's words, in one's actions, and the intentions

143
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:35.440
that we have. It basically involves
being provable, honest, keeping promises,

144
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:41.440
and demonstrating competence and expertise in a
particular area or topic. This gets back

145
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.200
to the earlier things that we were
talking about too. Are those companies and

146
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:54.039
those individuals are they really verifiable in
what they're doing? Are they demonstrating competence?

147
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.440
Are they if they're an expertise in
their area, that's terrific, But

148
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.960
are the things that they're saying provable? Do you feel like they're honest and

149
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:09.440
they're keeping their promises? So sometimes
what people do and what people say don't

150
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:18.320
always align perfectly with those things.
But building trust also requires active listening,

151
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:28.639
and having some empathy and understanding.
These qualities contribute to understanding and establishing meaningful

152
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.519
connections with other people in your lives
and larger communities and things like that.

153
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:41.000
So ultimately, trust is a gradual
process that grows over time, So it

154
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:48.720
takes consistent effort and builds over time
as people observe and experience their reliability and

155
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:56.360
the integrity of others in their lives. Trust is closely aligned with truth,

156
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:05.919
So truthfulness is a fundamental element in
building and maintaining trust. So we all

157
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.240
have to work hard to be as
truthful. And I'm not an idealist on

158
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.440
this. I know that there are
times and it's unfortunately this is the case,

159
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.960
but there are times that we aren't
always one hundred percent truthful. Agree

160
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.799
that. I think if you're thinking
about this, you're probably thinking, I

161
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:31.720
can't always be one hundred percent truthful
one hundred percent all the time because that

162
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.080
might be hurtful to others, And
I sympathize with that. But it is

163
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:43.679
a fundamental element to building and maintaining
trust with others that they have a perception

164
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:50.399
that you're truthful and that you're communicating
in a way that is trustworthy. And

165
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.360
I think that's the way to take
away from it, because people, all

166
00:15:54.399 --> 00:16:00.240
of us have thoughts that are not
that if we shared them, they would

167
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.279
be honest and they would be truthful, but they would also be harmful,

168
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.440
and so I think we have to
balance truth with some degree harm. Now,

169
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:18.120
most truths are not harmful, but
there are some that can be.

170
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.759
So when someone consistently tells the truth, or at least it feels like they're

171
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.200
telling the truth, and acts in
a truthful manner, it does establish a

172
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.360
foundation of trust. Provable trustfulness creates
confidence, but it also it's also something

173
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.320
that we all have to be pragmatic
about. We all have to have a

174
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:48.480
balance in Trust is often eroded when
there is a provable breach of trust.

175
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.039
So this is the other end of
the spectrum. Right, Honesty can be

176
00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:00.360
disclosed in a less than truthful way. Right, the truth comes out as

177
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:06.880
the concept goes, and trust can
be either broken or it can be just

178
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.440
chipped away. Right, So they're
small little things that chip away at trust.

179
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:18.079
Those can accumulate over time as well
to give suspicion and people have to

180
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:26.160
kind of walk carefully around truthfulness as
well because of that. But when something

181
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:33.319
is provable as a breach of trust, such as dishonesty or deception, which

182
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:40.200
is think about. We're all human, These things happen. People don't always

183
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.720
say the truth about things in their
lives. And there's a lot of situations

184
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:51.920
in the world in general now that
one could interpret. And this gets back

185
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.039
to some of the things we were
talking about earlier in the program. There

186
00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:03.000
is a possibility of deception when some
one has something to hide, or there

187
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.279
is an agenda, or there's a
certain kind of narrative, or there's a

188
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:12.079
certain kind of maybe it's just a
basic it's an opinion that someone has that

189
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:19.079
may be perceived as a deception or
a dishonest opinion. So these are complicated

190
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.759
issues, and I know I've been
very kind of black and white about them

191
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.359
in earlier episodes, but I do
want to get into the kind of the

192
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:32.079
gray area of these topics too and
try and figure out ways that I can

193
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:37.440
be more balanced about it, but
yet also very clear about them. And

194
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:44.119
it's also there's another twist of this
too. When truthfulness is upheld and demonstrated

195
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:52.759
consistently, it strengthens and it gets
more trust, and it reinforces the belief

196
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:59.480
that one can rely on the words
and actions of others. So what it

197
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.000
has is a culmination effect, or
it has a steam roller effect. So

198
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:10.920
if you can surround yourself with people
or organizations, or maybe in this case

199
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:18.240
it would be country or a world
where we felt like we could honestly believe

200
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.480
everything that's said to us, whether
it be our family or our organization that

201
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:30.559
we work for, or our government
or some sort of global government. It

202
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:36.400
would be great if there was some
consistency of putting it out there that and

203
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:42.319
provable evidence that we can trust what's
being pushed, especially when a lot of

204
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:48.519
these things that we're seeing in our
world today could be perceived as very transformational

205
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.480
or major changes. It's like this
topic I've been talking about about AI.

206
00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:00.640
There is so much uncertainty and so
much feeling of not being able to trust

207
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.319
what we're being told about this technology. We're just not getting the whole story,

208
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.359
or it's not being explained to us
really in a way that is helpful

209
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:18.440
for us to lower our anxiety about
what's happening in the world. So that's

210
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.759
my hope, and that's why I'm
trying to draw some clarity on this as

211
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:27.279
well. And I did get some
comments and show feedback from episode seven where

212
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:33.599
I did talk a lot about the
mistrust of artificial intelligence and how that is

213
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.200
a challenge for all of us.
So Livestream Universe, thank you Ross.

214
00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.119
His comment was such a well balanced
overview of AI. Thank you Ross.

215
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.720
I appreciate that I'm doing the best
I can. It's a complicated topic,

216
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.440
and I would I'm planning on digging
in even deeper into this as I move

217
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:57.160
into this kind of next phase of
trying to work through the process and try

218
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.559
and share this topic that I'm covering
more from trying to apply it to the

219
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.799
real world and apply it to things
that we're seeing in the news or things

220
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:15.240
that we're seeing and changes in our
world as hopefully a filter to ask the

221
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:21.000
question, ask the right questions about
whether our trust exists in those changes.

222
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.480
And then another comment was from Rebecca
Gunter. She comments, the spectrum of

223
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:33.640
the potential impacts of errors is profound. AI is consequential, right, how

224
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.920
do we know what's real? I
think, Rebecca, that's a terrific question,

225
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.799
and that's one of the opportunities of
AI, and that's one of the

226
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:53.680
challenges to us as humans, as
we contemplate the expansive power and the abilities

227
00:21:55.079 --> 00:22:03.759
of the artificial intelligence technology to invent
and create and replicate and to make what

228
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:11.680
we may perceive as life or the
representation of life become artificial, and that

229
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:18.839
raises all sorts of complex issues of
trust. And at the end of the

230
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:25.039
day, are we going to see
this technology be increasingly integrated into the human

231
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:30.559
experience, which is going to challenge
all of us If this technology gets embedded

232
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:37.880
into our brains or increasingly we're with
our smartphones, We're becoming part of a

233
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:48.440
global technology collective of sorts, interconnected
beings with currently with autonomous independent thought that

234
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:56.359
are contributing to a global network that
is increasingly being captured and rolled up.

235
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:03.599
And we're going to see that data
that we're putting into this collective network kind

236
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:10.440
of coalesce into potentially a new kind
of life form and are we going to

237
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:14.359
trust what comes from that? Sorry, I'm going to wrap up this episode

238
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:19.279
for this week. This was another
venture into another format and another kind of

239
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:23.240
show concept, and I appreciate you
hanging with me on this. Please give

240
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.799
me feedback on this, and I'm
going to continue to work hard to try

241
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:33.680
and get better and to improve the
show and dive into topics that you care

242
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.319
about as well. And like I
said, thank you for joining me here

243
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:44.599
in episode eight of this series,
and definitely look for me over on YouTube.

244
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.759
So we're also increasingly putting this show
out over on another platform called Rumble,

245
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:56.240
so you'll start to see shows over
on that kind of YouTube replacement platform.

246
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.319
So we'll see that to some degree, some video creators are increasingly putting

247
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.480
video out on that alternative viewing platform
called Rumble. So if you have any

248
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.920
interest in checking out some of the
content over there as well, I think

249
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.720
it's a good idea as well.
But keep falling here on YouTube. I

250
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:22.799
am contemplating trying to do this live
on Monday mornings, so that may be

251
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.240
the next thing that you see for
me is this program. Thank you so

252
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.519
much for being here with me,
and I hope you come back and check

253
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.839
out the show again. So thank
you. Trust Factor with Rob Greenley focuses

254
