And we ol' fahts are spenders and voters, especially when SS keeps us happy
Nothing but good comes with President Trump
I am betting this dude has a phd, he surely can pile the bs high.
This sort of naive yearning and dreaming, combined with the scientific and technological ability to make it reality, will lead to things hideous beyond imagining. As in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
I think this guy is already a new species, and not in a good way.
I don’t want to know anybody enough to want to be connected to them.
Will this include the “humanity” in the 3rd world?
Familiarize yourself with G.B. Shaw’s “Back to Methuselah” sequence of plays, which speculates on the effects of human longevity increases made possible through genetic engineering, and John Boorman’s “Zardoz”, which takes this one step further to a time when genetically modified “immortals” no longer desire to continue to live. In both these works, the exploration of space proved to be a dead end, as there is little to be gained by near-solar system interplanetary space travel and the vastness of space itself makes intergalactic space travel impossible to achieve. Mankind’s destiny is in his realization that the Earth is his domain and that the Earth is, effectively, the center of the universe.
End poverty, population growth ends too. At least that is the conclusion I drew from sociology. And with more and more of the world out of the worst poverty, less and less populations will be growing.
Put down the bong, dude.
Exponential Growth Will Transform Humanity in the Next 30 Years>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not without being subjected to a totalitarian state.
These fascist Utopians need to eff off and leave us alone.
The first genius level human interfaced with an AI will birth an entire new generation of technology bounds ahead of what we have when that happens.
Humanity won’t be able to deal with that shock.
“This guy” is very wealthy (self made), and is on the leading edge of technology.
He is leading Planetary Resources, a company to mine asteroids, which has already suceeded in getting the USA to change its laws on private property in space, which was frittered away decades ago in the Outer Space Treaty.
He knows what he is talking about. AI is hitting the streets now, and calling you on the phone to telemarket. These developments that he discusses are funded and being worked right now.
Just what is to be the potential benefit of so many people all simultaneously having instantantaneous access to so much information if so many of them consider “intelligence” to be a great number of concepts and ideas that, in the words of Reagan, “simply aren’t true”?
There are other things being mined for profit, too. If you’re an idea person with a gift of envisioning potentially marketable products, be very wary of search engines. Google Trends goes down pretty deep.
“1. Wiring the Planet: Today, there are 2.9 billion people connected online. Within the next six to eight years, that number is expected to increase to nearly 8 billion, with each individual on the planet having access to a megabit-per-second connection or better. The wiring is taking place through the deployment of 5G on the ground, plus networks being deployed by Facebook, Google, Qualcomm, Samsung, Virgin, SpaceX and many others. Within a decade, every single human on the planet will have access to multi-megabit connectivity, the world’s information, and massive computational power on the cloud.”
Sounds like my Roku and cable.
Thousands of channels and nothing to watch.
No. He’s an M.D. and an engineer (though I’m not sure what kind of engineering). He’s a self-promoting ‘futurist’, who doesn’t seem to have much of a scientific background.
1. The divine energy or consciousness is present everywhere within nature and man and is therefore the divine essence or spark in the minds of humans, thus Orwell's Big Brother states that reality is inside his skull. This means that every person is a potential god because they are aspects of the evolving divine consciousness.
2. The divine energy is represented by both female and male energies. These two major aspects of the divine are the goddess and god, although the divine, being beyond limitations of gender, is androgynous (transgender).
3. Animism: nature is infused with evolving divine spirit, consciousness, or life force and is thus alive with divine energy or soul, meaning for example, that Gaia (earth) and mystical concepts such as 'evolution' are alive.
4. Magic and/or occult science: the principle instrument of initiates, adepts, and god-men employed to acquire hidden knowledge (gnosis).
5. Spiritual evolution: evolutionary progress over time resulting in apotheosis, or the ‘Meta-Intelligence.
6. Subjectivism: there is no objective truth and reality; whatever one wishes to be true and real is subjectively true and real for that person, i.e., the author of the article under discussion..
7. History as a linear record of events in space and time is scientifically untenable and thus replaced with escalator and reincarnation models.
8. Mystical experience eventuating in ‘global’ or ‘cosmic’ consciousness
In conclusion, "As in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be."
Look, there are just some brains that I don’t want to connect to.
