"You Have No Idea What They’ve Planned for 2026…” | Whitney Webb

In this powerful commentary, Whitney Webb dissects the chilling implications of The Age of AI: And Our Human Future, co-authored by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and geopolitical architect Henry Kissinger. While the book presents itself as a sober warning about the future of artificial intelligence, Webb argues it’s more a blueprint for technocratic dominance—a future where a small elite shapes AI's objectives while the rest of humanity becomes passive subjects of its influence.

The discussion explores how AI threatens to create a divided society, not simply by economic inequality, but by a deeper cognitive split: those who understand and control AI versus those rendered increasingly incapable of independent thought. Through convenience and overreliance, we risk surrendering not just skills, but our capacity for creativity, decision-making, and even self-awareness. Webb warns that this path could lead to a post-human future in which AI becomes a new religion and humanity is spiritually hollowed, commodified, and ultimately controlled. The antidote? A cultural return to human creativity, soul-driven expression, and conscious resistance to the subtle erosion of our autonomy.
