Shocking Truth About AI, Immortality, Civil War, Elon Musk & Simulation Theory | Peter Diamandis

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

I have a very ominous feeling about all of this, I think the further this technology advances the further we get from being unique individuals. I also believe that people who have access to this tech would see people who don't have access as nothing more then cattle furthering the gap between financial classes

Put the technology down and go for a walk in nature!

Take care of the land and it will take care of you. It's that simple

Thanks for having Peter on your show !

A huge problem is we have corporations that own countries now, and it does not benefit them to care about human life.

Your channel needs TIMESTAMPS

I loved how he managed to include the word grok into part of his conversation. The rest of the interview is great too.

Peter is like Luke Skywalker. Out in front of all others bravely exploring unknown. But one day he will became Darth Vader joining Borg. We will all be connected, assimilated and only small brave number of warriors will defend humanity. Our leader will have to be Neo Connor-Wan Picard

The science of ‘trust me Bro’

I work in biotech, and from my understanding the reason drugs in development are not tested on women is because it's unknown at that stage if that drug will affect the reproductive system of a woman wanting to have babies not because of menopause.

The money-terry system needs an overhaul. Someone has to think out of the box and imagine first a more just system, make the model and promote it. We need to add spirituality, good human feelings to our economy system, move away from a profit driven society to a real human needs to solve society.

Tom's team needs to get on board with other podcasters who are leading the way to change for the better and use timestamps for the benefit of his listeners.

I love how they talk about medical advancement like everyone has access to it. Whatever that guy has access to isn't achievable by the common person.

...we have a very different understanding of awesome... for me it's connection to friends & family and the possibility to enjoy time in nature are awesome. All you talk about sounds dark, cold & soulless.

To be honest i absolutely dont want this to happen. In the charlie chaplin speech it says something like: eventually dictators die. Well then the richest of people (dictators) can afford infinite life, thats a very bleak outlook and i for one dont want to live forever i think death is a very natural thing that i absolutely can accept, the whole life is full of risks that you could die from. And i certainly dont fear nothingness as i wouldnt know it its just as you felt before you were born that is not scary at all. Edit: ah no i remebered that wrong that one is from charlie chaplin: "Do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. AND SO LONG AS MEN DIE, LIBERTY WILL NEVER PERISH. Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder"

Are we spiritually sane or stable enough for this pursuit or is this simply the Ego wanting more of what the ego always wants-power and control?

It's interesting when you guys talk about rate of change. I thought about this before, because if I were to put myself in a "simulation", I would want to be in the middle of the most interesting time period. It would seem that we are currently in the middle of a very interesting time period.
