Strypey<p>"The tech giants don't yet have armies, they don't yet have that popular legitimacy. I did a radio series recently on how we defend liberal democracy, and part of the answer has got to be that we've got to ... rediscover our sense of wonder about the institutions we've created to hold the powerful to account."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TomFletcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TomFletcher</span></a>, 2025</p><p><a href="https://therestispolitics.supportingcast.fm/listen/leading/117-is-the-un-fit-for-purpose-tom-fletcher" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">therestispolitics.supportingca</span><span class="invisible">st.fm/listen/leading/117-is-the-un-fit-for-purpose-tom-fletcher</span></a></p><p>I'm reminded of my friend who studied International Relations, who always asks "how many armoured divisions does BitCoin have?"</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>democracy</span></a></p>
Strypey<p>"... we've got to not bring up second class robots, but bring up first class humans. And too many young people are being educated learning the wrong things in the wrong ways.</p><p>We've got to teach them emotional intelligence. We've got to teach them that understanding of other humans, that understanding of difference ... the ability to take off your own Instagram filter on the world, and recognize that everybody has their own Instagram filter."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TomFletcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TomFletcher</span></a>, 2025</p><p><a href="https://therestispolitics.supportingcast.fm/listen/leading/117-is-the-un-fit-for-purpose-tom-fletcher" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">therestispolitics.supportingca</span><span class="invisible">st.fm/listen/leading/117-is-the-un-fit-for-purpose-tom-fletcher</span></a></p>
Strypey<p>"We have to be clear about what we're here for. I'm here to save lives. Now that sounds grandiose I know. But that's the job, that's what it says on the tin ... </p><p>We also have to get better at delivering.

Strypey<p>"... We've come now into a period when I think the great trends are the rise of distrust, the rise of inequality and the rise of [digital] tech, and somehow, all of us have got to work out ... am I gaining or losing trust for what we're doing? Am I really dealing with the causes of inequality, and not adding to them? And am I using the tech, or am I being used by it?"</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TomFletcher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TomFletcher</span></a>, 2025</p><p><a href="https://therestispolitics.supportingcast.fm/listen/leading/117-is-the-un-fit-for-purpose-tom-fletcher" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">therestispolitics.supportingca</span><span class="invisible">st.fm/listen/leading/117-is-the-un-fit-for-purpose-tom-fletcher</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/podcasts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>podcasts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TheRestIsPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheRestIsPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/Leading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leading</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/trust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trust</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inequality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/DigitalTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalTech</span></a></p>
