Overton Window, Incentives and Civil Engineering - Douglas Lee

This week our friend, and one of our favorite people in the Universe, Mr. Douglas Lee, joins us LIVE in the studio for a conversation about the future of our country and the world. In particular, we explore solutions for the aging bureaucracies, bridges, and financial institutions. Doug is a civil engineer who designs railway systems for major government projects on the West Coast. He has a brilliant way of seamlessly transitioning between the mechanical and civil aspects of engineering that inspires all the best dreams of what could be. 00:00:00 Go! 00:00:17 Top 5 Oregon Attributes 00:05:23 Why mortgages are piracy 00:14:40 Building bridges 00:21:47 Modern monuments 00:23:43 Longest science experiment ever 00:25:45 The past is an eternally receding destination 00:27:11 A pile of rubble at ground zero 00:36:39 Coming to terms with disturbing beliefs 00:38:59 Responsibility in the face of realization 00:44:28 Talking about things that only might be true 00:51:52 Why a one world government feels so creepy 00:56:28 Luxury of a moral compass 01:00:59 Going through the back door 01:06:00 Get rid of the middleman 01:08:08 A siphon for wealth 01:11:24 Do I want to be part of the machine? 01:17:42 National debt 01:19:57 A list of solutions 01:22:57 Private equity and fractional ownership 01:32:26 Transformative experience at Burger King 01:43:03 Shaking up monopolies 01:44:02 Disclosure as an impetus for change 01:49:21 How ideas pass into reality 01:59:56 The Walmart model 02:01:46 It's not enough to tweak one knob 02:08:28 You can influence the future 02:10:55 Closing thoughts Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub#engineering #disclosure #revolution Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience AND our material science investigations of atomics, @MaterialAtomics https://www.youtube.com/@MaterialAtomics Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
