00:02:15,593 --> 00:02:19,420
A Peter Joseph Film

4
00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:22,116
From an anthropological perspective

5
00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:25,710
our civilization has passed through
three major transformations.

6
00:02:26,270 --> 00:02:29,409
The Neolithic Revolution
some 12,000 years ago

7
00:02:29,513 --> 00:02:31,200
and hence the dawn of agriculture.

8
00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:36,750
The Industrial Revolution of the
18th century introduced mechanization,

9
00:02:37,286 --> 00:02:39,335
rapidly advancing productivity.

10
00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:44,086
And of course the post-scarcity
revolution that we now know as

11
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,603
the great transition,
which began at the turn of the 22nd century.

12
00:02:49,021 --> 00:02:50,530
THE GREAT TRANSITION

13
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,129
I would describe the
pre-transition period as a race:

14
00:02:54,350 --> 00:02:58,369
a race between human wisdom and
complete societal catastrophe.

15
00:02:58,652 --> 00:03:02,190
Which is what happens when a technologically
advanced culture isn't mature enough

16
00:03:02,313 --> 00:03:04,566
to understand the nature of its own power.

17
00:03:05,070 --> 00:03:07,273
It's easy for us to look back and wonder

18
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:10,904
how the insanity of that time
went on for as long as it did.

19
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,292
I mean here we were as a species
sitting on vast scientific potentials

20
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,363
to ease social stress,
improve public health and

21
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:20,172
find harmony with our habitat,

22
00:03:21,126 --> 00:03:23,907
and yet our cultural baggage was so great,

23
00:03:24,307 --> 00:03:28,123
loyalties to bogus political,
religious and economic philosophies,

24
00:03:28,258 --> 00:03:32,036
so strong, that we barely made it
to the more stable world of today.

25
00:03:33,261 --> 00:03:35,655
And how did we get to
this great transition? Well,

26
00:03:36,252 --> 00:03:37,649
it was quite the drama.

27
00:03:38,110 --> 00:03:41,335
The traditional avenues of that
world's so-called democracies

28
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,347
certainly provided no such route.

29
00:03:43,581 --> 00:03:47,760
It would take the rise of a
kind of apolitical subculture,

30
00:03:48,553 --> 00:03:52,904
a subculture existing far outside
of the dominant establishments,

31
00:03:53,532 --> 00:03:56,393
to help guide our civilization
in the right direction, and

32
00:03:56,947 --> 00:03:59,113
I must say it is quite the story.

33
00:04:04,609 --> 00:04:06,627
[Newscaster] They call themselves Concordia

34
00:04:06,744 --> 00:04:09,323
after the ancient Roman goddess of harmony.

35
00:04:09,476 --> 00:04:11,593
The pro-revolution hacktivist group,

36
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:14,732
world-famous after a decade of subversion,

37
00:04:14,984 --> 00:04:19,052
suffered a major blow this week with
the capture of leader John Taylor.

38
00:04:21,310 --> 00:04:22,289
- John!

39
00:04:22,990 --> 00:04:23,735
- Simon.

40
00:04:24,572 --> 00:04:27,255
– Boy, are you a sight for sore eyes.

41
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:29,772
- Is this really necessary?

42
00:04:30,836 --> 00:04:32,923
- Yeah, I'm afraid so.

43
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,027
It was just last year they breached
the accounts of the world's

44
00:04:37,144 --> 00:04:41,846
richest CEOs, extracting
some 1.6 trillion dollars,

45
00:04:42,104 --> 00:04:46,830
moving that money into virtually
traceless charity donations worldwide.

46
00:04:47,175 --> 00:04:48,781
- I assume you know why you're here

47
00:04:48,898 --> 00:04:52,252
and not in some vassal state
being tortured, right?

48
00:04:53,243 --> 00:04:54,215
- Theatrics.

49
00:04:54,430 --> 00:04:55,815
[Chuckles]

50
00:04:56,098 --> 00:04:57,280
So what exactly is this place?

51
00:04:58,252 --> 00:05:00,258
I feel like I’m in a
badly rented sci-fi movie.

52
00:05:01,341 --> 00:05:02,363
We on a spaceship?

53
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,575
- Only spaceship Earth.

54
00:05:06,603 --> 00:05:11,261
A year before that they jammed both
Chinese and American defense systems

55
00:05:11,370 --> 00:05:13,156
during the Saudi annex crisis,

56
00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:15,649
disabling thousands of warheads,

57
00:05:15,846 --> 00:05:18,215
a move which some on the left claimed

58
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,904
might have saved the world from World War 3.

59
00:05:21,723 --> 00:05:24,012
And in 2045 they leaked emails

60
00:05:24,129 --> 00:05:26,830
revealing how major Wall
Street investment firms

61
00:05:27,292 --> 00:05:30,492
lobbied the CIA, Mossad and MI6

62
00:05:30,744 --> 00:05:34,990
to help procure monopoly control
of rare-earth metals in Asia.

63
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:36,824
[Political Prisoner]

64
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:43,513
I think we agree this is unprecedented

65
00:05:43,624 --> 00:05:46,178
to have a designated terrorist group

66
00:05:46,326 --> 00:05:48,510
becoming a pop culture fascination,

67
00:05:48,633 --> 00:05:52,566
with public support of their
anti-government and anti-corporate actions.

68
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,858
Their published manifesto has been downloaded

69
00:05:55,975 --> 00:05:58,135
100s of millions of times,

70
00:05:58,246 --> 00:06:01,686
with thousands of supporting
groups out there in social media.

71
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:07,624
Adapted from the book
The New Human Rights Movement

72
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,575
comes a story about
The Greatest Revolution of All Time

73
00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:23,009
[Phone ringing]

74
00:06:34,676 --> 00:06:39,000
