the last time an Argentine came to
Central America talk about revolutions
a lot of mess was made and we will try that today
be no exception when the
European came to these lands to this
continent offered the natives
those famous little colored mirrors
mirrors where suddenly man
American could see his own
reflection could see itself and
while the natives were enthusiastic about
these precious metals all their culture
his system of government
his life system was completely
devastated by European man can
this will not happen again in the
human civilization
today I come to argue that is
happening right now as we look
our the fis we post our
videos we share our
experiences in digital networks
we are not realizing that many
Sometimes that information is being
concentrated in the hands of a few and not
I will do metaphorical spoke
obviously from facebook google that are
extraordinary companies enormously
innovative but that increasingly
they have a political impact
and if you do not believe me, I’m going to tell you
anecdote when facebook introduced this
possibility to see reality videos
virtual
this that here same mark took that
is presenting at a conference the
first reality reality video
virtual
posted on facebook in the timeline of
march every time they know what it was
it was about Kim Jong Il it was about the
annual military parade that is done in
north korea
tell me if that is or not something
profoundly political
imagine how the
politburo of north korea when he
they learned that a group of
Americans gave them a camera
virtual reality to shoot from the
first row your military parade
how a country would have reacted where
even tourists have to ask
permission to take photographs in
pyonyang clearly as we say in
Argentina
that was a wet one and they know
how I react North Korea
you know exactly what happened two months
after
North Korea announced to the world that
I was testing a hydrogen bomb
the most dangerous thermonuclear bomb that
can conceive the man were detected
Signs
the specialists say that Korea
exaggerates that it was a shame just one
atomic bomb between seven to nine
pilots in is as if that were not enough
but it took exactly two months
after that march finish postion its
first virtual reality video about
the parade that was happening in Korea
north this conflict between
information technology
and the technologies of force between the
world of matter and the world of
knowledge is not new and there is a
very important chapter to review what
is the second world war the great
war of the last century
it is said that in that war the bomb
Atomic was the decisive factor for
determine the victory of the allies
on the Nazi axis but the bomb
it really was first and foremost an element of
propaganda when the Americans
bombed hiroshima and nagasaki
the war was largely resolved
it was the saying to show that they had the
bomb what inflicted fear and with that
fear with propaganda twist the war
but the truth is that there was another element
equally important and no more than
determined that war and it was this
machine this is one of the first
proto computers created by the father
of alan turing computing for
decrypt and this is a very word
important to decrypt messages
Nazis during the Second War
the computer is a weapon of
intelligence is a branch of knowledge
and who has greater ability to
computation has greater power capacity
I firmly believe that the computer does not
except in the Second World War and the
computer in an intelligence weapon
it was something that was secret even the
identity of alan turing as agent of
espionage of English intelligence was
a matter reserved until
very little and just a couple of years ago
the British government gave him a pardon
by mortem with what they did with alan
turing he was convicted for being
homosexual
we live in a world
that has on the one hand the monopoly of the
force the national states the
governments that control the matter that
they control our body from the cndh
we can call that in English the earth
and on the other hand the monopoly of the
data the ‘cloud where are the
corporations that control our
information
our privacy what we consume and
what we see what happens inside
our head
they know our most intimate secret that
our password and every time you
we say that step fort
We are telling you every time we use
internet that we said we want in
this map you see the website number one
for each country and it is clear that
google and facebook dominate much of
west with the exception of china and
from russia to a large extent this world
matters more and more and the clown and the
land silicon valley and washington are
in conflict in the middle we are
us when they think about the
global warming when they think
about the problem of refugees and
human migrations on this planet
when they think about the increase in
gap of increasing inequality in the
world
the central statistic to those big
problems that we face in the
21st century is this
we are more and more humans in this
planet and in front of that is that we have
to start thinking politically not
just how we govern ourselves locally
but at the planetary level
because those forms of control already exist
who is going to take care of who is going to watch
for the rights of humanity in the
21st century
I know it’s very easy to sit down and
hit the current president of the
united states a character that ended
working altogether the reality
show with the real politik and today we talk
of postmodernity
we do not know what to believe if they gave us
eat reality shows with this same
character for a decade and of
suddenly we see it in the seat between
The world’s most powerful quotes is what it is
inevitable that we question what is the
true
what I want to point out is that
we chose donald trump president in
the united states he chose a troll
to an internet troll and our
society is increasingly programmed by
trolls and memeces in social networks
human institutions are
constructions that are based on agreements
but institutional arrangements
it’s a very specific type of agreement not
they are agreements on scientific facts
about facts that are measurable objectives
where we can apply the look
scientific institutions are based
in non-scientific agreements in agreements
intersubjectives in looks that
collide according to the realities that
one sector or another sector lives and is
what when we debate about politics
we can debate arguing by right
for left forever
we can discuss using internet memes
on social networks during
well weeks with the same people
about all the topics always and is
because what gives fruit to agreements
institutional to the truths
institutional is the emerging of the
memes and the trolls we are all trolls
in a society where there is abundance
information because we can all search
the next argument in whatever it is that
the political discussion is being given to
politics does not interest the truth the
politics is tribal point the people
that are dedicated to the search for
true scientists and others
disciplines also that have like that
vocation are not interested in
politicking and I think this is something
central to understanding what model of
institutions we want to have in front of
the challenges we face in the century
twenty one prostitute the truth is very
dangerous
to top it off in our societies in
each of our countries and this what
I have seen in the last five years
where visited more than 25 countries and I
joined with activists with politicians
with representatives of all kinds of
sectors
the great common denominator the
Polarization
society is more divided than
never and on the other hand in democracies
modern we have this phenomenon that is
since the 70s, which is the
low participation in the countries
central as europe or the states
United
every time there is less level of
participation something are not giving well
in our countries in the process of
development
this tribal shock manifests itself in
violent acts systematically in
every choice
where the presence of technology is
nonexistent and this is generated
famously famous situations
burning urns that are simply
dissuasive pumps so that a
militant group to steal the tickets or to
change the votes while the media
they are taking pictures of the fire is their
hugely corrupt system
I believe that technology can play
an indispensable role but not any
technology type vote
cha is the main interaction that
we do every day with internet
when we put likes on facebook retweet
We went on twitter
we use network and we put little hearts in
we are voting every day but that
it’s a toy vote a false vote
because its only impact is in optimizing
the editorial algorithms of these
services so that they continue to attract more and
more time of our attention and
keep selling maximum publicity
keep telling us that we have to
want to think how we need to start
create and use sovereign technology
where the sovereign is each of
us as beings that we inhabit in
this same place in common that we have
what is the planet earth
this type of technology is starting
to emerge and one of the most examples
remarkable is bitcoin will surely have
listened to read about bitcoin and they will have
seen all kinds of opinions many
Sometimes opinions that seek to generate fear
the traditional media at the end of the
day respond to the structures of
traditional power but cross-eyed in
just like the computer created
conceived by alan turing in the decade
of 30 and created in the second war
world or the web designed and created by
tim berners-lee working as a
academic in a center
European research cross-eyed at
conceived by an anonymous caller
satoshi nakamoto whose anonymity
legitimately the idea of bitcoin is a
technological innovation with the same
level of importance and transcendence that
the computer and the internet
the cross-eyed one exists seven years ago and
when you analyze the evolution of your
price is realizing that every time
that a geopolitical milestone occurs in
somewhere on the planet
impacts the bid price with venues
monetiza venezuela rises in price
IDB headquarters Indian monetized rises
bitcoin price are left with the
savings of greece citizens from
rich port of Cyprus increases the price of
bid with the Chinese central bank to
investigate what happens with the sale of
big one within your territory because
increases capital controls for
Chinese citizens raise the price of
bid with today the price of the bid with is
at its historic high point and it’s
a technology that has just seven
years and whose value today in terms of
economic volume is twice the value
twitter civic is a startup is a
very important startup this technology
works in a decentralized way
perhaps the great innovation there is no
central authority there is no president
of the central bank that determines is
decentralized
then each one of us when operating
with this technology it is sovereign
We can affirm that each one of us
You are the legitimate owner of your currency because
he warned them that today the pieces of
we use those contracts actually you
belong to the central bank remove
influential seen in geopolitics
recently with my foundation democracy and
We did a research work on
the influence of wikileaks on the
most important presidential election
of the world that was last year’s
the united states
wikileaks in the last four years
receives donations only in bitcoin
because the main banks
credit card companies
etc. they closed the bobbin and
who has visions that all
transactions are in the blog chen that
is the great book the great network accounting
that keeps this economy alive
then one can look directly
using the public address of
wikileads where those are coming from
donations to wikileaks matters because
when we analyze the conversations of
twitter everything that was discussed at
throughout the presidential campaign of the
republicans and the democrats the mails
of hillary clinton and the revelations of
wikileaks had more than 56 million
of mentions
the misogynistic and sexopathic audios of
donald trump 5 million mentions
then clearly he was an actor of the
Conversation of the debate campaign
of the leading campaign and the
donations that wikileaks received in
cross-eyed in the question we asked ourselves
we are how much Russian influence
There was that that is the great accusation
good 38 percent of donations
who received wikileaks
came from the united states some
of those donations came from
organizations as there exist institute is
a peter til organization that was
the only person in silicon valley
law that decided to explicitly support
Donald trump getting a big part
from silicon valley against
the donations of wikileks came from
the united states but another great
percentage came from the rest of the world of
Russia directly from Russia 5 percent
but in the top 20 of countries that donated
to bizkaia other nations appear as
georgia like lithuania with ukraine that
they constituted the Soviet bloc and if
we add donations from those countries
Russia contributed 15 percent of the
donations or the Soviet Union
we can say 15 percent of the
donations to wikileaks
bitcoin is starting to globalize the
politics
We live in a world where
globalized the goods where the
capital has no homeland but our
rights are always subject to the
national borders
I am convinced that the great feat
what can we do together to stop
from anywhere in the world and without
need to ask for permission from anyone is the
to start building to build the
great planetary jurisdiction
my foundation is called democracy point
ert that is our website and
What we are doing is using the same
technology that allowed disrupt peer
the money
the pillar of the financial system
international to break in globally
the policy and offer a system of
government that can work in
small organizations and in
continental organizations using
identity vote and representation without
borders
this is possible and today we are a group of
thousands of hacktivists
that we are between san francisco good
aires paris new york and several
cities that are beginning to add
building this political possibility
for all of you can say that this is a
utopia but if 20 years ago 1 and you
I was telling someone that anyone
from anywhere in the world using
a device that goes into your pocket and
to be able to access all the
knowledge of humanity
instantly he was clearly going to
tell that person that one was a
person who believed in utopias
I think the really silly thing is not
believe in utopias and this is the great
challenge that humanity faces in the
21st century
as an old English poet used to say
I made myself to madrid dpa to not the
only one
thank you very much
[Applause]
