# 4 No Youth > Hollywood faces an existential threat from AI likeness scanning as global youth movements reject traditional labor and social structures in favor of lying flat. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1573 - **Published:** 2023-07-16 - **Length:** 3h 16m - **Topics:** SAG-AFTRA Strike, Four-No Youth, Aspartame Risk, White House Cocaine, [Sound of Freedom](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/sound-of-freedom.md), Time Blindness, [Bob Iger](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/bob-iger.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1573-4-no-youth ## About this episode The Screen Actors Guild strike intensifies as SAG-AFTRA leadership, including Fran Drescher, warns against a studio proposal to 3D scan background actors for perpetual AI use. Disney CEO Bob Iger characterizes union demands as unrealistic while the industry grapples with the collapse of the streaming residual model and the rise of Big Tech ownership in Hollywood. The success of the crowdfunded film Sound of Freedom further highlights the growing divide between independent creators and traditional gatekeepers. In China, the Four-No Youth movement gains momentum as young people reject dating, marriage, home ownership, and children in favor of a lie-flat lifestyle. This social shift coincides with the emergence of loud quitting in the West, where a Gallup poll indicates one in five workers is actively disengaging from their professional responsibilities. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization classifies the artificial sweetener aspartame as a possible carcinogen, prompting a defensive media response regarding the safety of diet sodas and everyday consumer products. Vice President Kamala Harris faces scrutiny following a series of public gaffes in Vietnam and a verbal slip regarding population reduction during a clean energy speech. The Secret Service concludes its investigation into a baggie of cocaine found in the West Wing without identifying a suspect, leading to widespread speculation about security blind spots. John C. Dvorak and the production team analyze these developments alongside the closure of the historic Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Dvorak and the co-host open the program by debating the legitimacy of National AI Appreciation Day. They consult nationalday.com and Whitehouse.gov, discovering a list of concurrent holidays including National Corn Fritter Day, Guinea Pig Appreciation Day, and National Atomic Veterans' Day. The timing of Atomic Veterans' Day is noted for its proximity to the release of the film Oppenheimer.

SAG-AFTRA Strike and AI Background Actor Scanning (1:46–5:55) A report from a Hollywood producer highlights the tensions between writers and studios during the SAG-AFTRA strike. The discussion focuses on the union's fear that studios will 3D scan background actors for a single day's pay and use their digital likenesses indefinitely without residuals. A proposal is mentioned where studios could turn this into a profit center by charging fans to be scanned and placed in future films.

Big Tech Ownership of the Film Industry (5:55–8:10) The shift in the movie business from traditional theaters to home-based technology like the Apple Vision Pro is analyzed as a takeover by Big Tech. The Silicon Valley business model is criticized for extracting creative identity while providing little value in return. The hosts argue that the "magic money machine" of streaming is over, as major CEOs like Bob Iger face a landscape where streaming services are consistently losing money.

Name Image and Likeness Issues in Hollywood (8:33–12:00) CNN coverage of the Hollywood strike is critiqued for its focus on "Name, Image, and Likeness" (NIL), a term originally popularized in college athletics lawsuits. The union's demands include increased minimum pay rates and streaming residuals, which have become a sticking point as the industry shifts away from traditional broadcast models. The hosts suggest that news anchors themselves should be wary of being replaced by AI models.

Market Forces and the Decline of Residuals (12:00–14:13) The core problem in Hollywood is identified as an oversupply of actors and writers relative to the available money in the streaming era. The traditional model of long-term residuals is described as obsolete, with the future favoring upfront payments. The hosts argue that the industry must shrink because there is currently too much content being produced for the market to sustain.

Union Demands and Independent Production Opportunities (14:12–17:50) Fran Drescher's leadership of the Screen Actors Guild is characterized as a "union voice" fighting against greedy entities. However, the hosts suggest that actors and writers should stop relying on major studios like Disney and Amazon and instead use available technology to produce independent, low-budget content. They argue that the streaming math does not work for the studios, creating a gap that independent creators could fill.

Internet Distribution Models and BitTorrent Technology (17:51–20:25) The technical differences between one-to-one computer distribution and traditional broadcasting are discussed, noting that internet streaming costs increase with every new viewer. The hosts reminisce about the M-Bone (multicast backbone) and suggest that BitTorrent-style technology, as used by noagendatube.com, is a more efficient way to distribute content. They criticize the industry for being stuck in old models while refusing to adapt to decentralized distribution.

Bob Iger and the Economic Impact of Hollywood Strikes (20:25–23:40) Disney CEO Bob Iger warns that the expectations of striking actors and writers are unrealistic and will cause significant collateral damage to the regional economy. The union counters that many members rely on residual payments to meet the $26,000 annual threshold required for health insurance. One host shares a personal anecdote about not receiving residuals from past work on Swamp Thing or MTV.

Sound of Freedom Movie Review and Marketing (23:41–26:46) The film Sound of Freedom is reviewed as a successful example of a crowdfunded project that bypassed traditional Hollywood gatekeepers. The marketing strategy, which suggests "elites" do not want the public to see the film, is compared to the guerrilla marketing of The Blair Witch Project. The host notes that while the film is well-acted and based on the true story of Tim Ballard, it does not contain the QAnon-adjacent theories often attributed to it by critics. Keywords: [sound of freedom](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/sound-of-freedom.md), tim ballard, [angel studios](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/angel-studios.md), [crowdfunding](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/crowdfunding.md), [amc theaters](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/amc-theaters.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1573-4-no-youth/chapter/9.md) ### 10. Media Backlash Against Child Trafficking Awareness (26:46–31:53) The mainstream media's negative response to Sound of Freedom is described as disturbing and politically motivated. Outlets like Rolling Stone and The Guardian are criticized for linking the film to QAnon rather than discussing the reality of child sex trafficking. The hosts argue that the media's refusal to treat the subject with compassion is a sign of a subversive agenda.

CNN Pronoun Apology Regarding Dylan Mulvaney (31:54–34:25) CNN issued an on-air apology for "misgendering" transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney during a segment about the Bud Light marketing controversy. The hosts mock the apology and the network's insistence on honoring individual identity preferences. They discuss the financial fallout for Anheuser-Busch following the partnership with Mulvaney.

Misogyny and the Transgender Movement (34:25–36:11) A discussion ensues regarding the documentary "What Is A Woman? (Wrong Answers Only)," which the host claims illustrates how the transgender movement can be viewed as misogynistic. The argument is made that certain aspects of female identity, such as high heels and lipstick, were invented by men and are now being appropriated by men transitioning to women.

Online Fetish Culture and Forced Feminization (36:11–40:57) An email from a 25-year-old trans woman in Portland, Oregon, details the influence of "sissy hypno" and forced feminization porn on young men. The producer describes how platforms like Discord, Twitch, and TikTok serve as hubs for groomers and influencers who normalize these fetishes. The case of British streamer Finster is cited as an example of someone who gained fame and wealth by cross-dressing for an online audience.

The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling and Youth Transitioning (40:58–44:54) The podcast "The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling" is referenced in a discussion about how social media platforms like BuzzFeed and YouTube influence children to explore transgender identities. A clip features a person named Noah (now Natalie) describing how watching transition "journey" videos at age 11 provided a sense of hope and joy that was missing due to a lack of parental guidance.

Medical Industrial Complex and Gender Dysphoria (44:54–49:32) A case study of a child with multiple mental health struggles, including anxiety and ADHD, illustrates how therapists may steer patients toward a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. The hosts characterize this as a "medical industrial complex" designed to generate revenue through lifelong pharmaceutical and surgical interventions. They compare the current state of gender medicine to a mass-scale MK Ultra experiment. Keywords: [gender dysphoria](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/gender-dysphoria.md), [adhd](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/adhd.md), [ocd](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/ocd.md), [mk ultra](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/mk-ultra.md), [pharmaceutical industry](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/pharmaceutical-industry.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1573-4-no-youth/chapter/15.md) ### 16. China's Four-No Youth and Electric Wheelchair Trend (49:34–53:20) In China, a movement known as "Four-No Youth" (no dating, no marriage, no home, no children) is gaining traction among frustrated young people. To bypass local bans on electric scooters in cities like Guangzhou, youths have begun using high-speed electric wheelchairs for daily commuting. The CCP is reportedly concerned about this "lie flat" culture and its impact on social development.

Decline of Youth Socialization and AI Voices (53:20–57:51) The hosts contrast the modern "Four-No" movement with their own childhood experiences of forced physical education, Boy Scouts, and community center dances. They argue that the removal of structured socialization for teenagers has led to the current state of neglect and isolation. A report on Chinese youth is scrutinized for potentially using an AI-generated voiceover.

Loud Quitting Trend and Workplace Disengagement (57:52–1:01:06) A new trend called "loud quitting" is emerging, where employees openly express their unhappiness and actively disengage from their jobs. According to a Gallup poll, one in five workers is participating in this behavior, which includes bad-mouthing bosses on social media and undermining company goals. The hosts attribute this to a "broken generation" that lacks resilience and professional discipline.

WHO Classification of Aspartame as a Carcinogen (1:01:07–1:07:55) The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the artificial sweetener aspartame as a "possible carcinogen," though the FDA maintains that it is safe at current consumption levels. Media reports attempt to downplay the risk, suggesting a person would need to drink between 9 and 33 cans of diet soda daily to reach dangerous thresholds. The hosts revisit their long-standing criticism of Donald Rumsfeld's role in the original approval of aspartame. Keywords: [aspartame](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/aspartame.md), [world health organization](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/world-health-organization.md), [fda](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/fda.md), [diet coke](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/diet-coke.md), [carcinogen](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/carcinogen.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1573-4-no-youth/chapter/19.md) ### 20. Cumulative Effects of Artificial Sweeteners (1:07:58–1:09:18) The discussion shifts to the cumulative intake of aspartame from various sources, including chewing gum, cough drops, and chewable vitamins. The hosts criticize medical correspondents for focusing only on soda consumption while ignoring the presence of the sweetener in numerous everyday products. They suggest the WHO's findings are being managed by the media to avoid "confusing consumers."

FDA Approval of O-Pill Over-the-Counter Birth Control (1:09:19–1:13:36) The FDA has approved O-Pill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill in the United States, which is expected to be available in early 2024. While marketed as a breakthrough for reproductive access following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the hosts point out that the drug (Norgestrel) was actually developed in 1966. They question the long-term safety of making hormonal contraception available to teenagers without a doctor's consultation.

Time Blindness and Workplace Accommodations (1:13:37–1:16:20) A viral TikTok video features a young woman complaining about being yelled at for asking for "time blindness" accommodations during a job application. She argues that the culture of requiring workers to be on time needs to be dismantled. The hosts mock the concept, viewing it as a symptom of entitlement and a refusal to adhere to basic professional standards. Keywords: [tiktok](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/tiktok.md), time blindness, [neurodivergent](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/neurodivergent.md), [workplace culture](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/workplace-culture.md), [entitlement](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/entitlement.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1573-4-no-youth/chapter/22.md) ### 23. Mental Wellness Coaches and Time Perception (1:16:21–1:19:22) The hosts discuss the rise of "mental wellness coaches" who validate time blindness as a legitimate condition similar to color blindness. They speculate that the loss of analog clocks and the inability of younger generations to read them has contributed to a poor sense of time passage. One host mentions how they manage a staff member, Mimi, who struggles with punctuality.

ADHD Time Perception Experiments (1:19:23–1:21:48) An ADHD experiment created by author Tom Hartman is discussed, where participants are asked to point toward "the future" with their eyes closed. The theory suggests that neurotypical people point forward, while those with ADHD have a non-linear sense of time and may point elsewhere. This lack of linear perception is blamed for difficulties in paying bills and maintaining schedules.

Analog Clocks and Cursive Writing in Education (1:21:48–1:25:11) The hosts argue that wearing a wristwatch and learning to read analog clocks provides essential training in perceiving the "flow" of time. They link the decline in time management skills among "Zoomers" to the removal of analog clocks and cursive writing from school curricula. They suggest that digital numbers do not provide the same sense of completion as a circular clock face.

Social Deterioration and Universal Basic Income (1:25:12–1:28:38) The conversation explores the idea that society is deteriorating into a state where young men are increasingly isolated and "ne'er-do-wells." This trend is seen as a precursor to the implementation of Universal Basic Income (UBI), which is already being trialed in various U.S. states. The hosts reference the book "Snow Crash" to describe a future where most people live in a metaverse while working gig jobs for companies like Amazon and Uber.

Value-for-Value Model and Podcast Statistics (1:28:41–1:33:11) The hosts discuss the "Value-for-Value" funding model, noting that while they have nearly one million monthly unique listeners according to OP3 statistics, the number of donors remains relatively low. They emphasize that the show relies on listener contributions of "time, talent, and treasure" rather than traditional advertising. They express disappointment in the low donation levels for the current episode despite high listener numbers.

Behind the Scenes of Podcast Production (1:33:12–1:35:48) A look into the daily labor required to produce the show reveals that the hosts work seven days a week, filtering hundreds of emails and evaluating news clips from global sources like DW and TRT. They credit "clip collectors" like Dave Ackerman and Neil Jones for their assistance. The hosts argue that the podcasting model fails when companies like Spotify try to treat it like traditional radio with large staffs.

Closure of Anchor Brewing Company (1:35:49–1:37:36) Anchor Brewing, a 127-year-old San Francisco institution, is shutting down after being acquired and mismanaged by Sapporo. The hosts express surprise that none of the numerous Silicon Valley billionaires stepped in to save the historic brewery. They view the closure as a sign of the changing economic and cultural landscape in the Bay Area.

Modern Podcast Apps and the Google PSA (1:37:36–1:40:19) Listeners are encouraged to switch to modern podcast apps via podcastapps.com to access features like transcripts, chapters, and live alerts. The hosts discuss a PSA song about the world's dependence on Google, noting that if Google ceased to exist, Microsoft would likely shutter Bing as well. They criticize the lack of true competition in the search engine market.

Episode Art Competition and Nico Seim (1:40:21–1:42:03) Nico Seim is announced as the winner of the episode's art competition for a piece depicting a "No Agenda Climate Turbulence Warning" sign styled after an illuminated 1980s aircraft seatbelt sign. The hosts also praise a piece by Sir Paul but ultimately chose Seim's for its clever "gag" and nostalgic aesthetic.

Wake Turbulence and Climate Change Lies (1:42:03–1:46:24) An air traffic controller provides "boots on the ground" insight, explaining that the FAA has tightened aircraft spacing from five miles to three and a half miles.

Fredericksburg Donation Drought and Birthday Wishes (2:00:19–2:04:54) The hosts express disappointment at the lack of donations from Fredericksburg, Virginia, despite knowing they have listeners there. They celebrate several birthdays, including Chris Casey and Danielle, and thank the "Henderson brothers" for their multiple contributions.

Kamala Harris Vietnam Gaffe and John McCain Monument (2:15:11–2:16:52) Vice President Kamala Harris is criticized for laying flowers at a monument in Vietnam that honors the people who shot down John McCain's plane. A journalist in Beijing pointed out that the Vietnamese view McCain as a war criminal, making the tribute appear as an accidental honor to those who captured and tortured him. The hosts call it a "stunning ignorance" on the part of her scheduling team.

Kamala Harris Population Reduction Gaffe (2:16:52–2:18:41) During a speech on clean energy, Kamala Harris mistakenly said "reduce population" instead of "reduce pollution." The hosts suggest this was a "Freudian slip" that reveals the true agenda of the climate movement. They play several "In Search Of" (ISO) audio clips, including one of Jen Psaki.

Federal Deficit and Janet Yellen's Mushroom Incident (2:18:43–2:22:21) The federal deficit has nearly tripled in nine months, partly due to bank bailouts in March, contradicting Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's earlier promises that taxpayers would not be at risk. Meanwhile, reports from China suggest Yellen may have accidentally consumed hallucinogenic "jian shou qing" mushrooms during a visit to Yunnan province. The hosts joke that no one noticed a change in her behavior.

Kratom Experiment and FDA Warnings (2:22:21–2:24:05) One host discusses their ongoing experiment with Kratom, noting that while the FDA warns of its dangers, many people use it to successfully transition off of harder opioids. They clarify that they are not "strung out" but enjoy the "groovy" feeling it provides while watching television. They distinguish between high-quality leaves and the "micro powder" found in head shops.

UCLA Student Geography Knowledge (2:24:05–2:25:35) A "man on the street" segment features UCLA students struggling to answer basic geography questions, such as identifying the ocean on the East Coast of the United States or the capital of the country. The hosts use this as evidence of the failure of the modern education system and jokingly call for California to "divorce" the rest of the country.

White House Cocaine Investigation Closure (2:25:35–2:30:50) The Secret Service has closed its investigation into a "baggie" of cocaine found in a West Wing storage cubby without identifying a suspect. Despite forensic testing for DNA and fingerprints on the 0.2 grams of powder, officials claim there were no leads among the 500 people who had access to the area. The hosts mock the use of the term "baggie" across all major news networks.

Media Terminology and Dime Bag Code (2:30:50–2:37:33) Chuck Todd is criticized for referring to the White House cocaine as a "dime bag," a term usually reserved for marijuana. The hosts speculate that the involvement of Fort Detrick suggests officials initially feared the substance was a biological agent like anthrax. They question why there was a "blind spot" in the security cameras at one of the most secure buildings in the world.

Theories on the White House Cocaine Drop (2:37:33–2:41:57) The leading theory discussed is that the cocaine was left at a "drop point" for a senior staffer or visitor. The hosts note that the location—the West Exec entrance—is used daily by Vice President Kamala Harris. They discuss the strict drug testing and security clearance requirements for White House employees, suggesting that a staffer would be taking a massive risk by bringing drugs onto the campus.

Discrediting Kamala Harris and Rumor Intel (2:41:57–2:46:27) The hosts suggest that the cocaine story and the "population" gaffe are being used to "besmirch" Kamala Harris to prevent her from running for president. They cite "RUMINT" (rumor intelligence) suggesting the drugs belonged to her, but they suspect it may be a setup by political rivals. They also mention that Gavin Newsom is likely being "cut off at the knees" by similar tactics.

RFK Jr. as a Potential Deep State Candidate (2:46:28–2:50:09) A theory is proposed that the CIA may be preparing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a "make-good" candidate to straighten out Big Pharma and the military-industrial complex. RFK Jr. faced backlash for comments about COVID-19 potentially being genetically targeted, which the hosts argue was misrepresented by the media. They discuss his popularity among "MAGA country" voters who are looking for an alternative to the current establishment.

Bubly Sparkling Water and Mask Mandates (2:50:09–2:52:25) The host expresses frustration with Bubly sparkling water for adding electrolytes like potassium chloride, preferring natural mineral water instead. The conversation shifts to the observation that many people in certain areas are still wearing masks in public, which the hosts find baffling and unnecessary. Keywords: michael buble, bubly, electrolytes, potassium chloride, [masks](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/masks.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1573-4-no-youth/chapter/51.md) ### 52. RFK Jr. and the Republican Voter Base (2:52:27–2:56:44) The hosts discuss the political landscape where Ron DeSantis is losing support from major donors like Ken Griffin and the Murdoch family. They recount a story of Democratic voters being shocked to learn that RFK Jr. is a Democrat, as his rhetoric often appeals to the right. They suggest an "op" is underway to move MAGA voters toward Kennedy.

UPS Strike Threat and Inflation Reality (2:56:45–2:59:09) A "boots on the ground" report from a UPS driver suggests that supervisors are being sent to driving school in preparation for a potential strike that could cripple 15% of the U.S. GDP. The hosts argue that despite media claims of falling inflation, the economic reality for average people remains dire. They urge listeners to focus on local school boards and city councils rather than the "psyop" of the presidency.

National Heat Wave and NPR Coverage (2:59:11–3:04:26) NPR reports on extreme temperatures across the Southwest, with Death Valley potentially reaching 134 degrees. Public health officials warn of the dangers of elevated core temperatures and the impact on brain function. The hosts mock the constant "hounding" of climate change information and the warnings that even physically fit people are at risk during the heat wave.

John Kerry Questioned on CO2 Levels (3:04:26–3:10:23) Climate Czar John Kerry is grilled by Representative Scott Perry regarding the "correct" amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Perry points out that for millions of years, CO2 levels were significantly higher than they are today and that current temperatures have actually trended downward since 2015. Perry accuses Kerry and other world leaders of "grifting" off the climate movement.

End of Show Mixes and Outro (3:10:26–3:16:39) The show concludes with end-of-show mixes by Sir Chris Wilson and Sir Seat Sitter, featuring songs about Google and the "QAnon Man." The hosts sign off from Texas and Silicon Valley, reminding listeners to return on Thursday for more media deconstruction. The final audio clips touch on Russiagate, the IG report, and the "trust the plan" rhetoric of the QAnon movement.
