Wilkinson explains how living in a constant state of survival and impending doom reshapes our biology and threatens the very essence of human potential.

    The Problem With Net Zero: Konstantin Kisin
    2026/02/24
    👁️ Try Neutonic: https://www.neutonic.com/jamessmith 🧪 Check your Test: https://www.manual.co/smith 📝 Business Mentoring: https://www.jamessmith.business 🏋🏼‍♂️ Online Coaching: https://www.jamessmithacademy.com Konstantin Kisin joins James Smith to discuss the problem with Net Zero, a quiet crisis where ideological virtue signaling is actively making the West poor, weak, and strategically irrelevant. Kisin explains how our obsession with carbon metrics functions as a dangerous accounting trick that exports British industry to China while gaslighting citizens into accepting a lower standard of living. They strip back the myths of modern activism to expose a deeper civilizational time bomb: a generation suffering from historical amnesia and a lack of meaning, now being incentivised toward economic suicide by a government that prioritizes "waffle" over the survival of its own industrial base. We cover: ⬛ Why Net Zero is an accounting trick that exports emissions and imports poverty ⬛ The "Status Game" behind climate activism and doomsday narratives ⬛ How the welfare state traps young men in a cycle of dependency and video games ⬛ Why mass immigration is used to conceal the reality of a shrinking economy ⬛ The urgent need to prioritize cheap, reliable energy over ideological virtue signals Timestamps: 00:00 Net Zero's Economic and Geopolitical Failures 05:42 Energy Prices and Carbon Accounting Illusions 07:18 Why Ideologies Appeal to Lost Generations 10:00 Status Games Drive Activist Movements 12:22 Greta Thunberg and Incentive Structures 15:13 Personal Branding and Business Mentorship 16:21 Historical Amnesia and Educational Gaps 19:03 Travel Exposes Western Privilege and Safety 22:30 Direction of Travel Matters More Than Absolutes 25:03 Parasites Need Problems to Solve 31:33 Soviet Subversion and Western Self-Destruction 34:38 Israel-Palestine Through an Ideological Lens 37:53 Ukraine Support and European Weakness 41:03 National Pride Erosion and Military Service 45:00 Podcast Success Takes Years of Investment 51:34 Welfare Dependency Traps Young Men 58:01 Video Games Cannot Replace Real Life Achievement 1:02:15 Long-Form Conversations Change Political Discourse 1:09:06 Police Officers Make Split-Second Life-Death Decisions 1:23:25 Economic Solutions: Energy, Taxes, and Growth 1:28:30 Illegal Immigration and British Values 1:34:21 Integration Over Diversity Politics 1:39:50 Wealthy Brits Leaving Due to Cultural Hostility Learn more about your ad choices.
