The World Economic Forum (WEF) has issued warnings about a potential "cyber pandemic" that could spread ten times faster than COVID-19, necessitating a total internet disconnect. This warning is framed alongside a retrospective on the early internet, including the Gopher protocol and the commercialization of domain names like MTV.com. The hosts argue that the centralization of the internet has allowed elites to exert more power through propaganda and control.
