Dr. Brian Wong is a Rhodes Scholar, geopolitical strategist, tech advisor, author and Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong.  His research examines the intersection of geopolitics, political and moral philosophy, and technology.  Brian co-founded and now advises the Oxford Political Review and currently serves as a Fellow and Advisor at the Oxford Global Society, an independent think-tank.  He is also a Fellow at the Centre on Contemporary China and the World and is the Founding Secretary of Citizen Action Design, a youth policy think-tank based in Hong Kong.  Today we talk about the role of rhetoric and manufactured outrage in politics, the challenges of implementing true democracy, and the rise of AI.  We critique the notion of democracy as a panacea, and discuss a nuanced approach to governance in a multipolar world.  We dive into the current state of American politics, the factors contributing to the disillusionment and frustration among segments of the population, and cultural grievances weaponized by political elites.  We talk about AI and its potential impact on jobs and employment.  Brian expresses concern about the potential appointment of hawkish individuals in a Trump administration, exacerbating tensions and volatility in US-China relations.  He also expresses hope that the younger generations in both countries can help bridge divides.

很喜欢这个前奏。为什么旋律好像很欢快但是有淡淡的伤感呢?
