The Rising Danger Of Mass Surveillance - Andy Stumpf - #641

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Andy Stumpf. He's a former US. Navy SEAL, extreme sports enthusiast, public speaker, podcaster, and an author. At some point, you've inevitably traded your personal information for the sake of safety and security. But just how intrusive has government surveillance actually become? And why is there so much support for increasing this scrutiny among young people? Expect to learn how Tucker Carlson broke mainstream media overnight on Twitter. Why 3 out of 10 Americans under 30 support the installation of cameras inside the home. If we are on the brink of an alien invasion by UFOs, Andy's biggest lessons from his time in the Navy SEALs, whether army selection has become too tough or too easy. And much more.

Whoop is the only fitness tracker that I have ever stuck with and it's because it's the best and the most comfortable and convenient and it's got a battery that lasts for probably four to five days.

It really is impressive and it's such a small form factor that doesn't get in the way. You can happily wear it when you're out and about and it's not going to look weird, like you're some biohacking oddball. And it drives positive behavioral change because you log the activities that you did throughout the day, like if you drank caffeine or if you had food late at night or the supplements that you took and it will then correlate those with how your body is operating, which actually tells you whether the things that you're doing and the supplements that you're taking are working.
