Mitt Romney:
Quote:
I don't recall a period during my life when there are so many black swans flying around,” the Republican party’s 2012 presidential nominee said.
True
Quote:
“Now, the resurgence of journalism, and with a more knowledgeable and informed electorate, wouldn't be so critical if this weren't such a critical time.”
I agree.
Quote:China. the GOP's latest hobby-horse
Of particular concern to Romney are China’s emergence as a military superpower,
Quote:We wouldn't be so dependent on entitlements if we had a vibrant economy with real jobs
entitlements,
Quote:Yes, but not at the top of MY list
and climate change
Quote:Hmmm, still evaluating that one.
and then I potential of artificial intelligence to cause catastrophic harm.
Quote:
“China is on track to pass us economically, geopolitically, even militarily. And yet we cannot hide from that fact, and lull ourselves into complacency.
“The actual figures [are] a little frightening,” Romney said, noting that even though the United States vastly outspends the rest of the world on its military, only 15 percent of that money goes to equipment procurement, with the vast majority going to veterans’ salaries, housing and benefits.
Does he seriously think that China is about to mikitarily take over the world? All China is trying to do is protect itself and its trade. Does he really think the answer to China's economic growth is war?
Quote:
;“China is growing their navy, it’s going to be substantially larger than ours. So it's a much greater challenge than I think the immediacy has sunk into us.,
ONLY IF we're trying to militarily control the whole world. Any why would we want to do that?
Quote:more later
He said interest payments alone on America’s exploding national debt will be $650 billion this year.
“Our total military budget is $750 billion,” Romney said.
“When you're spending almost as much on interest as you spend onnational defense.economic development You’ve got a problem.
Quote:
“Neither party is willing to discuss an approach to solving this problem with us by the way as you know, it all stems from the fact that our entitlements which are two-thirds of spending are going faster than our economy. But neither political party or wants even talk about doing anything about entitlements.”
Romney expressed concern that both parties are dropping the ball on climate change too, noting many of his Republican colleagues are unserious about global warming. And on the other hand, he said “I'm afraid the Democratic Party on the other hand has proposed if you will virtue signaling baby steps that would have the combined effect of being expensive and ineffective.”
Romney also expressed concern about the potential impacts of artificial intelligence.
He pointed to a report that said “of the people who are developing AI on average, they believe there's a 10% chance the AI being developed will eliminate humanity.”
“You would think was something of that scale is a threat that Washington would be working to find ways to work with others around the world to make sure that something of that nature doesn't occur.”
That’s where journalists come in.
“So, if democracy dies in darkness, we're counting on you,” Romney said.
“And those that are being honored tonight and have shown us the way to help shed the light of truth on our public electorate.”
