Bob de Wit was a guest at the table at the last broadcast this year of De Wereld Is Vierkant, a program by blckbx news. It was one of my best performances at the table, I think, in one of the best broadcasts of De Wereld Is Vierkant. The topic was the significance of the recent US elections, and what we can expect as a result in the US and in Europe. I am very satisfied, what do you think?

A lot of hope and positive energy about the future society Society 4.0 in this conversation with Marc van Versendaal in his podcast series @The Marc My Words Show. Two positive and optimistic people in conversation, both in the conviction that together we can build a better society.

Let's take a step back from the day-to-day rhetoric. The history of mankind has been determined by a few percent of humanity who have realized (material and spiritual) progress and a few percent who have plunged humanity into war and destruction - the majority follow the spirit of the times. That is no different now.

The AI chatbots are owned by Big Tech such as @Microsoft and @Google who assume that they will remain in control of what is 'truth' in the AI era. The same as how they managed to control the 'truth' on search engines and social platforms: truth was simply for sale by the highest bidder. For example, pfiser paid them billions to determine what is "truth," according to the Twitter files. In short, this is all the information that increases their profitability. Whether it's about vaccinations, the climate, you name it.

In my book 'Society 4.0' (2021), I called global companies like BlackRock 'Corporate States', because they make laws and regulations just like 'Nation States', but in such a way that they are beneficial to them and not to citizens. How they do that can be read in this post and the attached @Indepen article.

What is Society 4.0? In Society 4.0 the interests of citizens form the starting point of building the society. Regions form the basis of the future citizens society, as several technological developments enable the decentral production of most primary human necessities – from energy and food to health and education. The economies of scale, crucial for mass production in the industrial society, becomes less relevant and therefor also in the future society. The foundations of our future society need to be re-built from the basic needs of citizens. Cooperation Society 4.0 supports initiatives that help the re-building of regions by inspiration, knowledge exchange, networking, expertise, action plans and concrete solutions and – if possible – financial support.

This book is a timely warning of the major societal risks posed by technological developments in the long run. Corporate leaders should pay heed to the analyses and observations in this book and take on the responsibility for building a better society.’ Prof. Jan Peter Balkenende Former Prime Minister of the Netherlands (2002 – 2010); Professor of Governance, Institutions and Internationalization, Erasmus University Rotterdam; External Senior Advisor to EY; chairman of the Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition ‘The world of tomorrow requires us to ‘look differently’ at ourselves today. This book invites you to consider the issues facing us as a society from a new perspective.
