The ARC Conference 2025 will take place in London, UK, on the 17th-19th of February 2025. We are excited to draw together an invitational community from around the world to be part of the conversation as we work to re-lay the foundations of our civilization.
Being in a business where someone else controls your formula or IP? That’s like being in a toxic relationship—it’s abusive, plain and simple.
It’s not about communication; it’s about control. And if they’re holding the keys to your success, you’re not building a business—you’re just marketing for theirs.
Here’s the fix:
1. Own your unique value—don’t trade it away.
2. Protect your IP with airtight agreements.
3. Prioritize independence over toxic partnerships.
AI is polarizing, and I get it. On one hand, it’s pushing boundaries, creating opportunities we’ve never imagined. On the other, people are scared—it’s accused of lying, manipulating, and even threatening the younger generation.
Let’s clear this up: AI should never lie. Truth and safety must be its foundation. That said, AI “hallucinating”—where it invents information—can be tamed and even leveraged. If we train AI to be relentlessly truth-seeking, it could unlock levels of creativity and problem-solving beyond what humans are capable of.
The future of AI will depend on how we shape it. Will we tame it into a tool for good or let it spiral into chaos? It’s a choice we must make wisely.
Where do you stand on AI? Are you scared, excited, or a little bit of both? Let’s discuss. 👇

Welcome to another episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. I'm Tom Bilyeu, and today, we're diving into some compelling topics that I think you'll find both challenging and enlightening.

Jordan Peterson sits down with philosopher, podcaster, and author Alex Epstein. They discuss the unprecedented need for energy to fuel the AI boom, the potential for abundant energy to outpace the problems it could create, the failure of the net-zero agenda, the necessity of a pro-human, pro-fossil fuel world, and the governmental policy ideas that would ensure an energy rich future.
Alex Epstein is a philosopher and energy expert who argues that "human flourishing" should be the guiding principle of energy and environmental progress. He is the author of the new bestselling book, “Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas—Not Less.” He is also the creator of EnergyTalkingPoints.com — a source of powerful, well-referenced talking points on energy, environmental, and climate issues.
