Game World - dystopia or what?

As I've said before, I love to go to Ted.com to see what crazy things people are thinking up. I stumbled upon this lecture yesterday, and it completely blew my mind.

It's a half hour long, but you should take the time to watch it all because the ending is dizzying. It's hard to know if it's the most dystopic thing I ever seen, or kinda cool. But I think he's kinda right - it's coming.

Since he died,I have not rested from his brothers who are high MAFIANS. They want everything my late husband left behind and threaten me everyday to hand them over to them seeing that I had no child for my late husband.I have escaped so many assassinations/killings from them because Allah is on my side knowing that I am not evil.
Presently,I am hiding in a village in West Africa (SENEGAL)as a refuge. from where I send this email to you. I ran away with all the details of the money my dead husband left for me which his brothers want to take away from me forcefully.
This money is huge to the tune of 5 Million Pounds,Which I want to transfer or send this money out of Britain immediately and purchase my air ticket back to Home at the end of this Month or 1st week of Next Months.Truthfully,I left all my belongings and ran away including my laptop which these evil brothers of my late husband took away from me suspecting that I will be in constant communication with some people or police who can help me. You may not understand what I mean but I am telling you the truth.

I have no other help and I had so many sleepless nights thinking about what to do and how to get This Money out of Europe,I would have aboundon the money for them,But i don't have any other means of survival because I and My Husband operate a joint account.I managed to sell some of our properties AUCTION and made up this money to 5 Million Pounds.
I want to send it out of Britain All I need is your sincerity if you can help me in receiving this money in your account or any way because I must send it out within one week.Can you help me please ? I don't want to loose this Money.If you can assist me,these are what I need from you :
