  1. The only thing I know you can do to The only thing I know you can do to protect yourself from AI robots. Most of protect yourself from AI robots. Most of protect yourself from AI robots. Most of the people who watch my channel are the people who watch my channel are the people who watch my channel are nearing retirement age. We talk about nearing retirement age. We talk about nearing retirement age. We talk about retiring overseas for as much as half retiring overseas for as much as half retiring overseas for as much as half off of the prices in your home country. off of the prices in your home country. off of the prices in your home country. They don't want to start a business. They don't want to start a business. They don't want to start a business. They want to enjoy a white sand beach They want to enjoy a white sand beach They want to enjoy a white sand beach with turquoise water, palm trees swaying with turquoise water, palm trees swaying with turquoise water, palm trees swaying in the wind. They want to goof off and in the wind. They want to goof off and in the wind. They want to goof off and have fun. But I have some bad news for have fun. But I have some bad news for have fun. But I have some bad news for you, but then some good news. I want to you, but then some good news. I want to you, but then some good news. I want to talk today about how to protect your talk today about how to protect your talk today about how to protect your social security from AI robots. By by social security from AI robots. By by social security from AI robots. By by the end of this, you'll get why this is the end of this, you'll get why this is the end of this, you'll get why this is not a joke, and you'll know the path you not a joke, and you'll know the path you not a joke, and you'll know the path you need to run on. You see, AI has already need to run on. You see, AI has already need to run on. You see, AI has already taken all of the world's knowledge and taken all of the world's knowledge and taken all of the world's knowledge and placed it into the entire world's placed it into the entire world's placed it into the entire world's fingertips affects the economy in a very fingertips affects the economy in a very fingertips affects the economy in a very profound way. It means anyone who wants profound way. It means anyone who wants profound way. It means anyone who wants to start a business has access to all to start a business has access to all to start a business has access to all that knowledge. But knowledge isn't that knowledge. But knowledge isn't that knowledge. But knowledge isn't enough. You need both knowledge and enough. You need both knowledge and enough. You need both knowledge and experience to do a business. Well, experience to do a business. Well, experience to do a business. Well, examples are often the best way to examples are often the best way to examples are often the best way to explain things. There is a man explain things. There is a man explain things. There is a man installing tile where we are staying installing tile where we are staying installing tile where we are staying today. Let's call him Joe. Joe's been today. Let's call him Joe. Joe's been today. Let's call him Joe. Joe's been installing ceramic tile for years. Even installing ceramic tile for years. Even installing ceramic tile for years. Even if you read everything about the tile if you read everything about the tile if you read everything about the tile business, including a process that business, including a process that business, including a process that explains how to install tile, you will explains how to install tile, you will explains how to install tile, you will suck at it when you first start.

  2. suck at it when you first start. suck at it when you first start. Experience takes time. Before Joe even Experience takes time. Before Joe even Experience takes time. Before Joe even showed up to install the tile, he had to showed up to install the tile, he had to showed up to install the tile, he had to bid the job, make the sale. So, Joe bid the job, make the sale. So, Joe bid the job, make the sale. So, Joe needed knowledge and experience to make needed knowledge and experience to make needed knowledge and experience to make the sale and install the tile properly. the sale and install the tile properly. the sale and install the tile properly. Service jobs like Joe's will be the last Service jobs like Joe's will be the last Service jobs like Joe's will be the last to be replaced by AI robots. So, this to be replaced by AI robots. So, this to be replaced by AI robots. So, this guy will probably be laying tile for guy will probably be laying tile for guy will probably be laying tile for another 10 years, maybe even 20. But another 10 years, maybe even 20. But another 10 years, maybe even 20. But eventually, in 5 to 10 years, AI eventually, in 5 to 10 years, AI eventually, in 5 to 10 years, AI computers will be installed in computers will be installed in computers will be installed in human-shaped robots. These robots will human-shaped robots. These robots will human-shaped robots. These robots will be designed to follow a human around and be designed to follow a human around and be designed to follow a human around and watch how they do things. These AI watch how they do things. These AI watch how they do things. These AI robots will be able to learn most any robots will be able to learn most any robots will be able to learn most any job by watching and listening to experts job by watching and listening to experts job by watching and listening to experts do that job. So, an AI robot will follow do that job. So, an AI robot will follow do that job. So, an AI robot will follow Joe around for a few days and gain the Joe around for a few days and gain the Joe around for a few days and gain the experience necessary both to make the experience necessary both to make the experience necessary both to make the sale and install the tile. But here's sale and install the tile. But here's sale and install the tile. But here's the main idea I want to share with you the main idea I want to share with you the main idea I want to share with you today. There is one job that AI robots today. There is one job that AI robots today. There is one job that AI robots still can't do in Joe's business. Do you still can't do in Joe's business. Do you still can't do in Joe's business. Do you know what that job is? Robots are not know what that job is? Robots are not know what that job is? Robots are not taxpayers. They don't have a social taxpayers. They don't have a social taxpayers. They don't have a social security number. They can't walk into a security number. They can't walk into a security number. They can't walk into a bank and open an account. Robots can't bank and open an account. Robots can't bank and open an account. Robots can't contact the social security office and contact the social security office and contact the social security office and ask for an employer identification ask for an employer identification ask for an employer identification number or social security number because number or social security number because number or social security number because they don't have a birth certificate they don't have a birth certificate they don't have a birth certificate or a passport. So, robots can't own or a passport. So, robots can't own or a passport. So, robots can't own businesses. So, if my theory is correct,

  3. businesses. So, if my theory is correct, businesses. So, if my theory is correct, whoever is making these AI robots will whoever is making these AI robots will whoever is making these AI robots will eventually approach Joe and ask a very eventually approach Joe and ask a very eventually approach Joe and ask a very simple question. Hi, Joe. We have a simple question. Hi, Joe. We have a simple question. Hi, Joe. We have a robot that will that we sell that will robot that will that we sell that will robot that will that we sell that will install tile for you and your business. install tile for you and your business. install tile for you and your business. By that time, maybe Joe will be 50 years By that time, maybe Joe will be 50 years By that time, maybe Joe will be 50 years old. His knees will hurt. His back old. His knees will hurt. His back old. His knees will hurt. His back hurts. The AI robot salesman's going to hurts. The AI robot salesman's going to hurts. The AI robot salesman's going to explain how Joe can hire an AI robot to explain how Joe can hire an AI robot to explain how Joe can hire an AI robot to do the grunt work so Joe can get off his do the grunt work so Joe can get off his do the grunt work so Joe can get off his knees. Joe's going to hire that AI robot knees. Joe's going to hire that AI robot knees. Joe's going to hire that AI robot and try it out. At first, Joe won't and try it out. At first, Joe won't and try it out. At first, Joe won't trust the robot. He's going to go out on trust the robot. He's going to go out on trust the robot. He's going to go out on his daily jobs and bring that robot with his daily jobs and bring that robot with his daily jobs and bring that robot with him. By the second or third week, that him. By the second or third week, that him. By the second or third week, that robot's going to be as good as Joe. so robot's going to be as good as Joe. so robot's going to be as good as Joe. so good that Joe will just stop by to see good that Joe will just stop by to see good that Joe will just stop by to see how the job looks when it's finished. In how the job looks when it's finished. In how the job looks when it's finished. In the second month, Joe will hire a second the second month, Joe will hire a second the second month, Joe will hire a second AI robot. He can double his business AI robot. He can double his business AI robot. He can double his business size. In the third month, Joe's going to size. In the third month, Joe's going to size. In the third month, Joe's going to hire two more AI robots. In the fourth hire two more AI robots. In the fourth hire two more AI robots. In the fourth month, Joe will put that first AI robot month, Joe will put that first AI robot month, Joe will put that first AI robot in charge of the other robots. Joe will in charge of the other robots. Joe will in charge of the other robots. Joe will even trust that first AI robot to even trust that first AI robot to even trust that first AI robot to deposit checks in the bank. Eventually, deposit checks in the bank. Eventually, deposit checks in the bank. Eventually, Joe may even teach that first robot how Joe may even teach that first robot how Joe may even teach that first robot how to make a sale. Eventually, that first to make a sale. Eventually, that first to make a sale. Eventually, that first robot will start telling Joe how to robot will start telling Joe how to robot will start telling Joe how to increase his market share in the city, increase his market share in the city, increase his market share in the city, how to advertise, where to buy tile how to advertise, where to buy tile how to advertise, where to buy tile cheaper, how to install the tile better cheaper, how to install the tile better cheaper, how to install the tile better or cheaper, how to get more referrals

  4. or cheaper, how to get more referrals or cheaper, how to get more referrals from customers. You see, an AI robot from customers. You see, an AI robot from customers. You see, an AI robot with access to all of mankind's with access to all of mankind's with access to all of mankind's knowledge is not limited to tile knowledge is not limited to tile knowledge is not limited to tile installation. He can do Joe's taxes. He installation. He can do Joe's taxes. He installation. He can do Joe's taxes. He can help Joe become a better husband and can help Joe become a better husband and can help Joe become a better husband and father. That robot can help Joe make father. That robot can help Joe make father. That robot can help Joe make better stock trades in his 401k. better stock trades in his 401k. better stock trades in his 401k. Because Joe was the first to hire an AI Because Joe was the first to hire an AI Because Joe was the first to hire an AI robot within the first 5 years. Joe robot within the first 5 years. Joe robot within the first 5 years. Joe might be the only company in the entire might be the only company in the entire might be the only company in the entire city that's installing tile eventually. city that's installing tile eventually. city that's installing tile eventually. Because of cost savings, Joe will take Because of cost savings, Joe will take Because of cost savings, Joe will take market share from the other tile market share from the other tile market share from the other tile installers. The other companies didn't installers. The other companies didn't installers. The other companies didn't want to fire any employees. They kept want to fire any employees. They kept want to fire any employees. They kept paying employees, health care, time off, paying employees, health care, time off, paying employees, health care, time off, and training. But robots had no and training. But robots had no and training. But robots had no government entities protecting them from government entities protecting them from government entities protecting them from working 16-hour days. Joe was able to working 16-hour days. Joe was able to working 16-hour days. Joe was able to drop his prices because he didn't have drop his prices because he didn't have drop his prices because he didn't have all that extra overhead. Joe's company all that extra overhead. Joe's company all that extra overhead. Joe's company made more money even with lower prices. made more money even with lower prices. made more money even with lower prices. But remember, Joe's AI robots can't walk But remember, Joe's AI robots can't walk But remember, Joe's AI robots can't walk into a bank and open an account or start into a bank and open an account or start into a bank and open an account or start a company. AI robots are not taxpayers.

  5. a company. AI robots are not taxpayers. a company. AI robots are not taxpayers. Notice that Joe didn't have any Notice that Joe didn't have any Notice that Joe didn't have any employees in this story. But if Joe had employees in this story. But if Joe had employees in this story. But if Joe had employees, he may have kept them around employees, he may have kept them around employees, he may have kept them around for a few months, maybe even a few for a few months, maybe even a few for a few months, maybe even a few years, but eventually he would realize years, but eventually he would realize years, but eventually he would realize that robots are cheaper. Robots work that robots are cheaper. Robots work that robots are cheaper. Robots work harder. They don't need money to pay harder. They don't need money to pay harder. They don't need money to pay rent or food or families. Joe's the only rent or food or families. Joe's the only rent or food or families. Joe's the only human being who's protected in this human being who's protected in this human being who's protected in this story. By law, robots can't walk into story. By law, robots can't walk into story. By law, robots can't walk into banks and open accounts, start a banks and open accounts, start a banks and open accounts, start a corporation, or own a business. So, the corporation, or own a business. So, the corporation, or own a business. So, the only protected job that I can perceive only protected job that I can perceive only protected job that I can perceive once all of this gets rolling is the once all of this gets rolling is the once all of this gets rolling is the actual business owner. So, if you want actual business owner. So, if you want actual business owner. So, if you want to be able to maintain your income and to be able to maintain your income and to be able to maintain your income and not be fired from a job, you need to be not be fired from a job, you need to be not be fired from a job, you need to be an owner of a business. Most of the an owner of a business. Most of the an owner of a business. Most of the people who watch my channel are nearing people who watch my channel are nearing people who watch my channel are nearing retirement age. We paid into social retirement age. We paid into social retirement age. We paid into social security our whole lives. Now it's time security our whole lives. Now it's time security our whole lives. Now it's time for us to receive the retirement savings for us to receive the retirement savings for us to receive the retirement savings the government took from us. But sadly the government took from us. But sadly the government took from us. But sadly the government did not save it for us.

  6. the government did not save it for us. the government did not save it for us. It was spent by politicians. Only about It was spent by politicians. Only about It was spent by politicians. Only about 20% of the money we get each month is 20% of the money we get each month is 20% of the money we get each month is from social security trust fund. The from social security trust fund. The from social security trust fund. The rest is collected from younger people rest is collected from younger people rest is collected from younger people who are retiring 20 or 30 years from who are retiring 20 or 30 years from who are retiring 20 or 30 years from now. now. now. Each subsequent generation is paid from Each subsequent generation is paid from Each subsequent generation is paid from social security collected from the social security collected from the social security collected from the younger generations. That means that younger generations. That means that younger generations. That means that younger people have to keep working. So younger people have to keep working. So younger people have to keep working. So the government will have the money to the government will have the money to the government will have the money to pay older generations. But wait, didn't pay older generations. But wait, didn't pay older generations. But wait, didn't we just learn that AI robots will be we just learn that AI robots will be we just learn that AI robots will be taking all the jobs? Younger people are taking all the jobs? Younger people are taking all the jobs? Younger people are going to get laid off because of AI going to get laid off because of AI going to get laid off because of AI robots. Where will the money come from robots. Where will the money come from robots. Where will the money come from to pay your social security? Now I will to pay your social security? Now I will to pay your social security? Now I will teach you how to protect yourself from teach you how to protect yourself from teach you how to protect yourself from AI robots. The good news is you probably AI robots. The good news is you probably AI robots. The good news is you probably know something that most people don't know something that most people don't know something that most people don't know. And the better news is you have know. And the better news is you have know. And the better news is you have some ex personal experience in that body some ex personal experience in that body some ex personal experience in that body of knowledge. So if you combine that of knowledge. So if you combine that of knowledge. So if you combine that knowledge with your personal experience, knowledge with your personal experience, knowledge with your personal experience, you can start a business. Now we can all you can start a business. Now we can all you can start a business. Now we can all hope that politicians do not continue to hope that politicians do not continue to hope that politicians do not continue to be as stupid as they have been over the be as stupid as they have been over the be as stupid as they have been over the last 50 years. But hope isn't going to last 50 years. But hope isn't going to last 50 years. But hope isn't going to pay the rent. So, here's what we can do pay the rent. So, here's what we can do pay the rent. So, here's what we can do to protect ourselves. Start sharing that to protect ourselves. Start sharing that to protect ourselves. Start sharing that specialized knowledge online. When specialized knowledge online. When specialized knowledge online. When people type questions online, they may people type questions online, they may people type questions online, they may eventually find your specialized eventually find your specialized eventually find your specialized knowledge. Now, AI will also be knowledge. Now, AI will also be knowledge. Now, AI will also be answering those questions that people answering those questions that people answering those questions that people ask. But what AI doesn't have yet is

  7. ask. But what AI doesn't have yet is ask. But what AI doesn't have yet is experience. So you'll have to put your experience. So you'll have to put your experience. So you'll have to put your experience behind a payw wall and give experience behind a payw wall and give experience behind a payw wall and give courses, seminars, ebooks or whatever to courses, seminars, ebooks or whatever to courses, seminars, ebooks or whatever to make money. For a time your experience make money. For a time your experience make money. For a time your experience will not be available to AI. Knowledge will not be available to AI. Knowledge will not be available to AI. Knowledge will but not experience. That's why will but not experience. That's why will but not experience. That's why they'll buy your courses and ebooks they'll buy your courses and ebooks they'll buy your courses and ebooks because AI has knowledge but no because AI has knowledge but no because AI has knowledge but no experience. But once you get that experience. But once you get that experience. But once you get that business up and running, you can start business up and running, you can start business up and running, you can start to use AI for your business just like to use AI for your business just like to use AI for your business just like Joe did. Now you're a business owner Joe did. Now you're a business owner Joe did. Now you're a business owner who's employing AI. You're like Joe, but who's employing AI. You're like Joe, but who's employing AI. You're like Joe, but you're running out of time because you're running out of time because you're running out of time because eventually AI will be in human form with eventually AI will be in human form with eventually AI will be in human form with an AI brain and it will gain the an AI brain and it will gain the an AI brain and it will gain the experience. But the good news is since experience. But the good news is since experience. But the good news is since you own a business, you can hire that AI you own a business, you can hire that AI you own a business, you can hire that AI robot in your business once they're robot in your business once they're robot in your business once they're available. And since AI robots cannot available. And since AI robots cannot available. And since AI robots cannot own a business, you'll be able to own a business, you'll be able to own a business, you'll be able to deposit the checks into your account. deposit the checks into your account. deposit the checks into your account. I'm not saying this will be easy or I'm not saying this will be easy or I'm not saying this will be easy or quick, but it will be the only thing I quick, but it will be the only thing I quick, but it will be the only thing I know you can do to protect yourself from know you can do to protect yourself from know you can do to protect yourself from AI robots. You can protest AI. You can AI robots. You can protest AI. You can AI robots. You can protest AI. You can try to get politicians to protect you try to get politicians to protect you try to get politicians to protect you from AI robots, but politicians seem from AI robots, but politicians seem from AI robots, but politicians seem more interested in taking money from more interested in taking money from more interested in taking money from large businesses these days than large businesses these days than large businesses these days than protecting little guys. So this is the protecting little guys. So this is the protecting little guys. So this is the way you can proactively solve your way you can proactively solve your way you can proactively solve your problem instead of depending on problem instead of depending on problem instead of depending on government that doesn't really seem to government that doesn't really seem to government that doesn't really seem to care about anyone but people that have

  8. care about anyone but people that have care about anyone but people that have enough money to get them reelected. So enough money to get them reelected. So enough money to get them reelected. So the moral of the story is that AI has the moral of the story is that AI has the moral of the story is that AI has all of the knowledge of mankind already. all of the knowledge of mankind already. all of the knowledge of mankind already. But until it is incarnated in AI robot But until it is incarnated in AI robot But until it is incarnated in AI robot forms that can gain on the job forms that can gain on the job forms that can gain on the job experience, you still have some time. experience, you still have some time. experience, you still have some time. But you need to come to the party early, But you need to come to the party early, But you need to come to the party early, like I said, instead of watching and like I said, instead of watching and like I said, instead of watching and waiting like Joe's competitors did. This waiting like Joe's competitors did. This waiting like Joe's competitors did. This is and this is not just an idea that is and this is not just an idea that is and this is not just an idea that only you should take to heart, but you only you should take to heart, but you only you should take to heart, but you should also share with younger people should also share with younger people should also share with younger people that you know and care about. It's a that you know and care about. It's a that you know and care about. It's a small window of time. I'm not sure how small window of time. I'm not sure how small window of time. I'm not sure how long. It might be three years, might be long. It might be three years, might be long. It might be three years, might be 5 years before the AI knowledge is put 5 years before the AI knowledge is put 5 years before the AI knowledge is put into robots that can gain experience. into robots that can gain experience. into robots that can gain experience. Just to clarify though, I'm not using AI Just to clarify though, I'm not using AI Just to clarify though, I'm not using AI in any of my videos. It's all my video. in any of my videos. It's all my video. in any of my videos. It's all my video. I'm on the ground all over the world. If I'm on the ground all over the world. If I'm on the ground all over the world. If you are curious how I set up my you are curious how I set up my you are curious how I set up my knowledge business, you can watch the knowledge business, you can watch the knowledge business, you can watch the video in the upper right hand corner of video in the upper right hand corner of video in the upper right hand corner of your screen right

Summary

The main theme is protecting social security from AI's impact, especially for those nearing retirement and considering overseas living. Key subjects include AI's access to knowledge, the necessity of combined knowledge and experience for business, and how service jobs like tile installation will be the last replaced. The practical takeaway is that while AI can learn jobs through observation, it cannot be a taxpayer, highlighting the unique advantage of human taxpayers in securing one's financial future.
