The world is looking to become smart. Smart cities, smart phones, smart TV's, fridges, heating systems and even smart sprinklers.
Smart cities have become a deep discussion within the mainstream (also academia existing in huge cities pushing the notion of their city becoming smart), due to its potential link with transhumanism and artificial intelligence as they interconnect with one-another.
Carlos Moreno, an Colombian urban planner, who was forced to go in exile to France after the Colombian army were looking for him, first proposed the concept of the "15-Minute City", to change the future of urban cities. The 15-Minute City is a city in which all residents can reach daily necessities within a short walk or bike ride from their homes.
We discuss how the world going smart has more bad implications for the human species rather than good, referring to the events that have happened in the last three years, the Social Credit system that has been forced onto Chinese citizens to take away their power and sovereignty and the conclusion being made that artificial intelligence runs this reality.
We also talk on the role the United Nations has on the future of the world becoming smart, as ultimately, it is them that run the world and not the corrupt politicians acting out their roles on the world, merely puppets. The UN in 2015 published The 17 Sustainable Development Goals that they have set out for 2030. Each year since that, the UN have updated their goals in conjunction with the developments made by the modern world.
