Two Mikes Ep. 553 | The AI Wars: Jeff Dornik on Artificial Intelligence, Transhumanism & the Future of Humanity

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming society, but at what cost? In this special episode of Two Mikes, Freedom First Network founder and Pickaxe creator Jeff Dornik joins Dr. Michael Scheuer and Colonel Mike to discuss the growing influence of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, surveillance technology, automation, education, government databases, and the future of human freedom. The conversation explores how AI is reshaping the workforce, education system, media, social platforms, and government agencies. Dornik raises concerns about the long-term implications of centralized data systems, AI-driven decision making, humanoid robotics, universal basic income, and the worldview of the tech elites building tomorrow's digital infrastructure. The discussion also examines the intersection of AI, politics, religion, national security, free speech, social media, and the growing debate over whether technological progress is strengthening humanity—or replacing it.
