00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,241
Okay...
177
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,402
Boom. Sometimes you
just encounter someone
178
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,403
who isn't really sensitive to the metrics,
179
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,007
so it's important to ask them
and make sure you get that clarity.
180
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,686
And we're back
to a perfect score, yeah.
181
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,366
- Oh, wow.
- [laughing]
182
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,051
All right. Are you... Are you ready
to do this on your own?
183
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,121
- Yes.
- Awesome.
184
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,167
[music playing throughout]
185
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,922
[Annie] Excuse me!
Terribly sorry.
186
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,684
Hey, how's it going?
187
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,683
- I thought you were in Amsterdam.
- Oh, just for a day.
188
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,250
Then London,
then New York, now here.
189
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,368
- Have you slept?
- A few hours on the plane.
190
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,886
A couple of pills, I'm good.
So you, first week?
191
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,650
- Ugh.
- What?
192
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,291
You have an 87 average.
That's like a solid B.
193
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,441
How long till I'm fired?
194
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,601
Listen, when I first started,
195
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,808
it took me a few weeks to really get
the hang of it, believe me.
196
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,521
Okay? Believe me, you're doing fine.
You're good, all right?
197
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,126
- Hello, I'm Eamon Bailey.
- [cheers and applause]
198
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,168
[chuckling] Thanks.
199
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,646
Thank you, thank you.
So glad to see you all here.
200
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,327
Now, a bunch of you are new
to the company since I last spoke,
201
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,971
so can the guppies all stand up?
202
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,725
- Right. That's you. Get up.
- Come on, guppies, just stand up.
203
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,450
Guppies, stand up, come on.
204
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,524
Congratulations.
Nice to have you.
205
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,525
Now, now, guppies is just
an affectionate term for you baby fishies.
206
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,241
Soon, you will all grow
to become powerful...
207
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,846
- You're adorable.
- I hate you.
208
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,764
The... The fish that guppies
grow up into be...
209
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,128
What, what do they grow up into?
I don't know. Anyway.
210
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,201
All right, this is Dream Friday,
211
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,921
the latest in our long tradition of
presenting our newest innovations.
212
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,083
The first Dream Friday
featured Ty Lafitte,
213
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,606
the inventor of TrueYou
and our founding father.
214
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,889
And usually, we feature
one of our engineers or our visionaries,
215
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,008
but today, unfortunately,
it's just me,
216
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,560
and for that, I apologize in advance.
217
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,610
- [man] We love you, Eamon!
- Thanks, Mom.
218
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,409
[laughter]
219
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,370
Now, you might not have seen me around
campus for the last few days,
220
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,602
and maybe you're wondering
just where the heck I've been.
221
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,206
- [woman] Surfing!
- [laughter]
222
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,727
Argh, you got me.
Yes, I've been surfing.
223
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,127
And that's part of what
I'm here to talk about.
224
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,285
I love to surf, and in the past,
I would have to wake up
225
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,605
and call the local surf shop
to ask about the local breaks.
226
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:57,129
And pretty soon, the local surf shop
stopped answering their phone.
227
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,611
[laughter]
228
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:03,083
And then I got a cell phone
and I could call up my buddies
229
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,322
who were already out
at the beach before me.
230
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,486
And I could ask them, but they too
stopped answering their phones.
231
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,565
And then came... the Internet.
232
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,564
[all] Whoa.
233
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,326
Some geniuses set up cameras
on the beaches,
234
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:27,169
so I could log on and get some very crude
images of the waves at Stinson Beach.
235
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,562
It was almost worse
than calling the surf shop.
236
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,966
Here's how it used to look.
237
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,486
[groans]
238
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,965
Almost useless, right?
239
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,725
But now, let's refresh that page
240
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:44,250
and show the site with our new Circle
video delivery.
241
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,727
- Now that looks pretty good, doesn't it?
- [approval exclamations]
242
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,610
Yeah, maybe I should be
out there right now.
243
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,728
But would it surprise you to know
244
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,600
that this is not coming
from some big camera,
245
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,082
but actually just one of these?
246
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,571
[oohing]
247
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,122
This camera needs no wires.
248
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,602
It transmits this image via satellite.
249
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,331
I set up that camera
this morning.
250
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,200
I stuck it to a tree near the dunes
with no permit, nothing.
251
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,964
In fact, no one
even knows it's there.
252
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,441
And actually,
I was pretty busy this morning
253
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,325
because here's Rodeo Beach,
254
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,603
Montara, Ocean Beach,
255
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,162
Fort Point,
this is my front yard.
256
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,441
[laughter]
257
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,524
And here's my backyard.
Here's traffic on the 101.
258
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,171
Oh, did you think
this was just a camera?
259
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,403
No. Welcome to real-time
analytic processing.
260
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,768
When you see this,
you're also getting this.
261
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,006
[exclamations]
262
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,686
Air quality, traffic volume,
weather patterns,
263
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,848
biometrics, facial recognition,
264
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,322
saved and searchable,
all to serve you better.
265
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,450
My friends, we are looking
at retailing these
266
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,167
in just a few months
for less than a pair of jeans.
267
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,607
And I'm not talking
about fancy jeans.
268
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,684
I'm talking about the ones
like I'm wearing.
269
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,201
Now, Circlers,
do you like to share?
270
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,964
Sharing is caring!
271
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,407
Sharing is caring.
I thought you might say that.
272
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,289
- Sharing is caring?
- Sharing is caring.
273
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,488
Well, I have a dozen helpers
all over the world right now
274
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,086
carrying these cameras.
275
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,562
Imagine the human rights
implications.
276
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,964
Activists no longer have
to hold up a camera.
277
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,691
Now it's as easy
as gluing a camera to a wall,
278
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,445
and actually,
we've done just that.
279
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,242
Do you see
any cameras here? No.
280
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,325
We have 144 cameras in place here,
281
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,603
and it took us just a day to do it
and they're virtually invisible.
282
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,446
They come in every color,
so camouflaging is a cinch.
283
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,682
This is my favorite. Oh!
284
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,527
Nice catch. Sign her up.
285
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,889
So now, the entire world
is watching.
286
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,650
You know, I agree with The Hague,
287
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,291
with the human rights activists
all over the world.
288
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,931
There needs to be accountability.
289
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,800
Tyrants and terrorists
can no longer hide.
290
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,724
We will see them.
We will hear them.
291
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,283
We will hear and see everything.
If it happens, we'll know.
292
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,481
We're calling it SeeChange.
293
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,766
- SeeChange.
- [whooping]
294
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,044
Oh, and we'll go
to good things, too.
295
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:39,727
- [audience] Aw!
- Aw!
296
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,450
We will see it all
297
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,763
because knowing is good...
298
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,684
but knowing everything
is better.
299
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,724
[cheering and whooping]
300
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,766
- [laughter]
- [music playing]
301
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,047
Good thing you guys like
to keep things modest.
302
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:10,849
What's this party even for?
303
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,526
SeeChange, summer solstice,
everything, nothing.
304
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,807
Come on. Let's be the only ones here
that know how to dance.
305
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,042
Oh, my God,
is that Beck?
306
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,202
[Annie laughs]
307
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,083
[vocalizing]
308
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,086
[singing "Dreams"]
309
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,366
So Bailey... what's he actually like?
You're in the Gang of 40s.
310
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,767
Yeah, but I don't get a ton
of alone time with him.
311
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,525
I mean, you know, a lot of people work
in the White House,
312
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,762
but how many people really
get to know the president?
313
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,730
Oh, actually, do you
wanna see something?
314
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,962
Oh, my God, you need to see this.
Follow me.
315
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,367
Okay. This is it.
316
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,488
[giggling]
317
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,846
Nice knocker.
318
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,207
[chuckles, murmurs]
319
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,884
Holy shit, right?
320
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,963
Right?
321
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,407
I think all of these
have got to be first editions.
322
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,802
Oh, but, um, you have to give me
a verbal nondisclosure agreement, okay?
323
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,325
- Annie...
- Seriously!
324
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,647
We shouldn't be here
and probably won't ever be here again,
325
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,688
so verbal NDA.
326
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,164
I promise not
to disclose anything.
327
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,524
Good. This is where Bailey and Stenton
make all of their plans.
328
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,444
It's very serious.
329
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,090
I mean, this is high nerd, right?
330
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,162
Oh, no, you probably
shouldn't play with...
331
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,851
With this?
332
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,086
[laughs]
333
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,605
You're such a dork!
334
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,603
Wow.
335
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,489
So, this is where it all happens.
336
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,370
To be a fly on the wall, right?
337
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,044
We should get back
to the party.
338
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,487
- [phone buzzes]
- Well, you should, at least.
339
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,000
- You're not coming back?
- Got work.
340
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,764
Annie, it's like 11:00.
341
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,524
I've got Australia
in a few minutes. Ah!
342
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,807
Ah-ha, actually, a few minutes ago,
but you have fun, okay?
343
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,167
- Annie!
- You're gonna have so much fun.

the other day

that I wanted to share with you.

I've asked Mae Holland,
who some of you might know
875
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,322
is one of our new guppies
in Customer Experience,
876
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:50,686
to join me today.
877
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,084
Mae's only been with us for a few months,
but she has made quite an impression.

883

[chuckles] Right.
884
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,163
All right. Mae, we have all seen the
SeeChange footage from the other night,
885
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:21,368
but please describe
what happened for us.
886
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,083
I committed a crime.
887
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,607
I borrowed a kayak
without the owner's knowledge,
888
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,809
paddled out to the middle of the bay...
889
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,486
and I wasn't wearing a life jacket.
890
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:39,487
Well, I'm not sure that's exactly
a capital offense,
891
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,961
but you did risk your own life.
892
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:47,001
So, Mae, do you think you behave better
or worse when you are being watched?
893
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,244
Better. Without a doubt.
894
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,927
What happens when you're alone
and unobserved?
895
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,970
- Well, for starters, I steal kayaks.
- [laughter]

897
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:05,771
Seriously, I... do things
I don't wanna do.
898
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,410
I lie.
899
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,448
When we spoke the other day,
you had a way of putting it
900
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,363
that I thought was
very interesting and succinct.
901
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,681
Could you tell us all
what you said?
902
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,161
I said that secrets are lies.
903
00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:19,720
Secrets are lies.
904
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,124
Go on.
905
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:28,286
Secrets are what
make crimes possible.
906
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,728
We behave worse
when we're not accountable.
907
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:35,129
I was my worst self
908
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,249
because I didn't think
anyone was watching.
909
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,325
I thought...
910
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:43,965
that I was alone.
911
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:48,409
So, what did you see
on this kayaking trip, Mae?
912
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:49,606
Was it beautiful?
913
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,921
It was.
914
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,002
There was almost a full moon,
915
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,681
and it felt like...
916
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,287
felt like I was paddling
through liquid silver.
917
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,126
Mm. It sounds incredible.
918
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:06,690
But there's no record of any of it.
919
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,246
- Not outside my own memory.
- Hmm.
920
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:16,165
Okay. So, now here we get
into something personal.
921
00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:21,121
As you know,
I have a son, Gunnar,
922
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,601
who was born with cerebral palsy.
923
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,160
And though he's living a very full life
924
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:28,811
and we're always trying
to improve his opportunities,
925
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,123
he is confined to a wheelchair.
926
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:35,483
And he-he can't walk,
927
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,528
he can't run,
928
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,080
he can't go kayaking.
929
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,404
So what does he do if he wants
to experience something like that?
930
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:49,168
Well, he watches video.
He looks at pictures.
931
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:51,049
And much of his experiences
of the world
932
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,487
come through
the experience of others.
933
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:57,201
When he experiences the view
of a Circler climbing Mount Kenya,
934
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,171
he feels like he's climbed Mount Kenya.
935
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:05,086
When he sees first-hand video
from an America's Cup crew member,
936
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,768
he feels, in some way,
that he's sailed in the America's Cup too.
937
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,731
And these experiences
were facilitated by generous humans
938
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,770
who shared what they saw
with the world, my son included,
939
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,411
and there are many others out there
that are just like Gunnar.
940
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,724
Now, does it feel right to have deprived
them of seeing what you saw, Mae?
941
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,565
It doesn't.
942
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:32,805
It feels very wrong.
943
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,091
It was selfish.
944
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:44,122
When you deprive others of experiences
like the ones I had...
945
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,042
you're essentially
stealing from them.
946
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,409

01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,164
both for their persecution
of the artist,
1031
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,084
and for their restriction
on Internet freedoms.
1032
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:01,370
We have sent 180 million Frowns
from the US alone.
1033
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:05,246
You can bet that's gonna have
an effect on the regime.
1034
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,450
Annie!
1035
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:12,686
Annie!
1036
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:14,761
Annie!
1037
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,086
Annie!
1038
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:27,521
Annie!
1039
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,003
Annie Allerton!
1040
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,611
Are we alone?
1041
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,048
I have three minutes to use the bathroom
without the video on.
1042
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,602
- Ugh. Pervert.
- [camera clicks on floor]
1043
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:53,841
How are you?
1044
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,124
- Good.
- Well, you should be good.
1045
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,009
You're killing it.
1046
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,366
Do you think?
1047
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,284
Oh, come on, false modesty won't work
here. You should be psyched!
1048
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,091
Yeah. I am.
1049
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,764
You're a meteor.
It's insane.
1050
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,731
People are coming to me
trying to get to you. It's crazy.
1051
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:19,567
How are you really, Annie?
You look wiped.
1052
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,165
Thanks, Mae.
1053
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,164
You know how much I like to be told right
after I appear in front of your millions
1054
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,050
that I look terrible.
Thank you. You're sweet.
1055
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,327
Let me take you for dinner.
1056
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,450
You gotta eat sometime.
1057
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,284
With your camera
and me looking so terrible,
1058
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,010
that sounds fantastic, but no.
1059
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,686
I just... I'm...
I'm worried about you.
1060
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,411
- You're working too hard.
- You're worried about me?
1061
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,448
You're... I'm worried about the EU,
1062
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,170
but it's good to know
you're worried about me.
1063
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,891
- I didn't mean it in that way.
- Don't worry in any way.
1064
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:51,881
I know you can handle it.
1065
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,769
Oh, thank you, Mae!
1066
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:56,366
Your confidence in me will be the wind
beneath my wings.
1067
01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,401
How are your parents?
1068
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,211
Sorry.
1069
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:09,482
They're over
that little... episode?
1070
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,846
I haven't heard from them, actually.
[sniffs]
1071
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:19,525
Guess it'll just take some time.
1072
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,570
Sorry, Mae. Shit.
1073
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,521
I'm fried... and I have to pull
another all-nighter.
1074
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,242
Stenton is on my ass all the time.
1075
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:37,245
I shouldn't have questioned him
about that whole Senator Williamson thing.
1076
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:42,611
And then... there's all
the new work on Completion...
1077
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,808
but I assume Bailey told you about that.
1078
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,489
- Of course.
- Of course.
1079
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,961
I'll be there at the Concept Kingdom
meeting tomorrow.
1080
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:54,041
- What?
- [music playing]
1081
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,205
There's a Concept Kingdom meeting...
1082
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:58,884
I know what it is,
but you're going?
1083
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,850
Yeah. Bailey said I should be there.
1084
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,763
And broadcast it?
1085
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:06,286
Is that a problem?
1086
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,842
No, I'm just surprised, that's all.
Those meetings are sensitive.
1087
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,645
You know, maybe he's planning on having
you attend just the beginning.
1088
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,326
[dry chuckle] Mae,
you're in over your head.
1089
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,450
Are you leaving?
1090
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:20,806
Yeah. [clears throat]
1091
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,726
I'm really so far behind on everything,
I could just die.
1092
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,045
Annie?
1093
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:33,085
[electronic voice]
Hello.
1094
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:35,760
See you.
1095
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,328
So, here's how many people voted
in the last national election.
1096
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,324
Here's how many
were eligible to vote.
1097
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,007
And here's how many Americans
are registered in The Circle.
1098
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:03,166
And there's that guy.
1099
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,368
So, now we get down to the meat
of today's session,
1100
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:09,206
something we've discussed with
Congresswoman Santos and others...
1101
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:14,127
What if your Circle profile
1102
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:16,601
automatically registered
you to vote?
1103
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,042
With TrueYou,
in order to set up the profile,
1104
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,646
you have to be a real person
with a real address,
1105
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,850
the complete personal info,
real Social Security number,
1106
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,809
with all the information
that the government wants
1107
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,042
when you register to vote.
1108
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,205
So, why wouldn't the state
consider you already registered
1109
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,328
when you open a Circle account?
1110
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,641
There's no reason!
1111
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:44,448
We've got verbal commitments
from governors of almost every state,
1112
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:49,401
and they've agreed to push for legislation
that would make your Circle account
1113
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,364
an automatic path to voter registration.
1114
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:00,805
I think it's a great idea.
1115
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:08,480
Well, yes, Mae?
1116
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:14,565
Why couldn't we take it
one step further?
1117
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,961
I mean, I...
1118
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:20,408
I don't have
it completely figured out yet...
1119
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:22,084
No, no, no, no. Go on.
Go on. Go on. Go on.
1120
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:23,571
You started really well there.
1121
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,729
I like those words, "one step further."
It's how the company was built.
1122
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:33,010
Okay. Working backwards
from your goal...
1123
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:34,570
Go on.
1124
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,564
...we all agree 100% participation
is what we like.
1125
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,211
100% participation is the ideal.
1126
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,846
That's the idealist's ideal, yes.
1127
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:48,927
And we already have 83% of voting-age
Americans registered to The Circle.
1128
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:50,604
Yep.
1129
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,651
And it seems we're on our way
to users being able to register,
1130
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,042
and maybe actually vote
through their Circle account...
1131
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:02,648
Well, that's a small leap,
but yes. Okay. Go on.
1132
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,843
Why not require
every voting-age citizen
1133
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,922
to have a Circle account?
1134
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,081
[laughter]
1135
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,924
Let her finish.
Let her finish.
1136
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,288
Okay, I know the initial reaction
will be resistance.
1137
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,524
I mean, how can we require anyone
to use our services?
1138
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,127
But there are all kinds of things that are
mandatory for citizens of this country.
1139
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:25,765
We have to pay taxes
we don't want to pay,
1140
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,683
and we have to pay for Social Security.
1141
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:29,285
We have to serve on juries.
1142
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,921
Right, and we have to pee indoors,
not on the street.
1143
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,644
We do, we do have to pee indoors.
1144
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,610
- She's right.
- I mean, we have thousands of laws.
1145
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,650
We require citizens
to do hundreds of things,
1146
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,564
but we don't require them to vote?
1147
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:48,085
They're already doing this
in dozens of countries.
1148
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:53,451
With the technology we already have,
users will already be registered.
1149
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:58,566
That means you have 241 million voters
eligible to vote.
1150
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:03,248
You have 241 million voters
that have to vote.
1151
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,767
You have the full will of the nation.
1152
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,729
And how exactly do we do that?
1153
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,689
Annie.
1154
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:16,004
Well, you know, it could be something
as simple as a Zing.
1155
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:20,688
"Hey, Annie, remember
to take five minutes and vote."
1156
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,842
That's what we would do
with our own surveys.
1157
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,445
You know that.
1158
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,842
But, Mae, what about stragglers?
1159
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,207
We all pay taxes...
1160
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,170
and, what, 80% of us
did that online last year?
1161
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,609
Why not stop duplicating services?
1162
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:42,401
Why not just make it all part
of one unified system?
1163
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:48,010
You could pay your taxes, vote,
pay your parking ticket,
1164
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,321
all through your Circle account.
1165
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,051
We'd save users hundreds of hours
of inconvenience.
1166
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:54,889
We'd save the government billions.
1167
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,291
Hundreds of billions.
1168
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,727
We could eliminate half of it overnight.
1169
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,041
Why wouldn't the government
just build a similar service?
1170
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,281
Why the hell do they need us?
1171
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:06,810
It would cost too much.
1172
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:09,884
They don't have the expertise.
We already have the infrastructure.
1173
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,291
[Eamon]
You are absolutely right.
1174
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,684
The government needs us
more than we need them.
1175
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:20,561
Imagine having the full will
of the people...
1176
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,205
instantly.
1177
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:29,121
You'd have true democracy
1178
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,369
for the first time
in human history.
1179
01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:35,171
- [Annie] This is such bullshit.
- [door opens]
1180
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,166
No voter suppression.
You're voting from home!
1181
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,925
Think of the implications
for totalitarian regimes.
1182
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,650
No more rigged elections.
1183
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,688
The UN can demand that
they're held through The Circle.
1184
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,404
But only if everyone is heard.
1185
01:12:51,480 --> 01:12:52,811
Absolutely.
1186
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,201
Every human on Earth.
1187
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,726
We can take the pulse
of the nation.
1188
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:01,282
Everyone in the world in seconds on any
subject.
1189
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:02,930
It's the only way, right?
1190
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,923
- Right!
- [all] Yeah!
1191
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:11,565
So, it looks like
I've got 20 minutes here.
1192
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:13,449
Let's try Mom and Dad.
1193
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,363
[dialing]
1194
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:17,681
It's totally cool, man, Saturday night.
Get you in on it.
1195
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,683
- Hey, Mae, what's up?
- Hi.
1196
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:20,921
- Hey, Sid...
- Yeah?
