Jeff Bezos and Amazon are criticized for introducing palm scanners at Whole Foods, which is described as a precursor to a worldwide cashless society. The segment warns that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and ESG scores will be used to control human behavior through a social credit framework.

Joe Allen argues that transhumanism is a distributed movement that transcends traditional left-right political boundaries.
