the point is "not all that glitters is gold" and I smell a trap for our souls(yes I believe we all have one) those of you who would dismiss the existence of God and would be soulless all I can say is good luck with your immortality there may come a day when you realize it was not all it was cracked up to be and you will all just be "ghosts in the machine" religion and churches merely serve to confuse us and keep us from knowing God thinking that we ARE gods just makes us megalomaniacs
and all those engaged in your little intellectual squabble are missing the point this is all about control of your mind how tempting will it be for the "administrators" to substitute data and reinvent you according to THEIR philosophy you will only be a shell of your former self with no autonomy other than what will be included in the program and as far as becoming "like gods" as the host implies, the mere use of the word "gods" is simply massaging of the ego as a lure to "sign up"
just imagine we will no longer have to deal with those annoying little flaws that make us so individually human no more physical imperfections to be embarrassed about no more need to have feelings no need to treasure the time we have on this plane and really appreciate the wonder of life because hey! we'll be immortal and it can be "groundhog day" every day for the rest of eternity I would rather have only one day to live as a loving God created man than have eternity as a machine no thx
theres something i dont understand, in another video Michio kaku says we cannot program our brains to learn new things, "matrix style" and now he just said it is possible?
It saddens me that those socially awkward nerds were the ones that the makers of this video chose to represent the active scientific community. Thanks for that.
@likewtfisahammock lol, well then, you enjoy that mind destroying plant of yours while the of humanity embraces the knowledge and power that The Singularity will bring.... not that either of us will be alive if any of this eventually happens anyway.

Well, we could just always install an off button before turning the super computer robots on. So if they start to kill they have a weak spot, the same weak spot their ancestors had before them The Off Switch.
and with Dorks i mean the people that get all enthusiastic about these cyborg-improvs to our bodies without knowing where the blimy **** they're talking about. Like the last guy in the clip getting all arrogant like: 'i have some parts in my mind that the society isn't rdy to hear'. It's not that we're not rdy, it's that you can't explain the hell ur talking about. Otherwise you would have taken those 5 seconds to start explaining.
new world order ruling elites will not let the average food waster have access to this. they will keep it to themselves and kill 95% of remaining sheeple, and let the machine/androids work as their servants.
I think this video is contradictory to another one I watched in the past where Michio talks about the machines of the future and if it is possible that they could become as intelligent as the human being- even more- and eventually become a threat of self-controlling 'things' with self-awareness...
I'm a capitalist. Not only for my own wealth but because I have ideals to perceive. Have you guys ever thought of a scientific enterprise that makes technology to sustain another scientific projects? We could improve society and science. If only people could see that we don't need apple nor windows, but only intelligent minds...
MEANING ..to be able to connect to the hole through vibrating at the same frecuency, knowing all what there is in an instant, the result an uninmaginably peace and deep happiness ..light!
ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! Just how much intelligence does it require for one to realize, given that overpopulation is claimed to be a major issue even now, that no one in a position of control is going to bestow the technology to live forever, and consume resources forever, upon everyone ?
You want to become like God ? I've got an idea: give to all who ask of you and forgive those who trespass against you. The extra bonus is you won't even have to go through brain surgery to put wires in your skull, as Michio Kaku suggests.
@maxavail I don't thnk he means god in whatever sense you are talking about. He just meant "a god" like not "your god" I don't think he is talking about your god and morality. more about the power of technology applied to our lives.
@maxavail I believe you are the one missing the point, the point here is about technological advancement of human kind, science and technology are merely tools, there's nothing to do with morality at this particular spot. We're just talking about increasing the power of the brain, so human consciousness expands. Why are you talking about forgiveness and being charitable? As I said he's not talking about god-like morality, just the god-like singular global consciousness.
@maxavail In fact if we could simply download all the human knowledge combined there would be no fucking wars or hunger or hatred. We'd be finally a united race. We won't need the ancient god folklore stuff anymore.
@TekLok That's a rather romanticized flower-power take on human nature. Give a man a bigger brain but keep his evil heart and he would be no better off. I can use my own brain to think of a thousand ways to be bad, but imagine how many ways to be bad I could conceive if I had all of the world's brains at my disposal.
God-likeliness by acquiring knowledge without love was the serpent's lie in the garden of Eden. Many years after that moment people are still suffering in the world.
This is terrible, fearmongering stuff. It's just as likely that the singularity will make human life better than it ever has been before, this doom and gloom stuff is just going to contribute to anxieties about progress which exist already, pasting them onto fears re: sentient, or Turing-compliant artificial intelligence.
It's mathematically impossible to actually "build" will without a higher dimensional source at work, & if people use a higher dimensional source to "build" will then people won't find it hard to believe that the soul actually exists (with the possibility of a Creator existing).
Where does human nature get this impulse to be gods? The answer is in the book of Gensis, Satan said to Eve, "Ye shall be as gods".
@starsheild7 Except humans wrote that. So your not answering the question. If we had an impulse to be gods why would we write a book that has the evil guy promoting it? We're looking at this wrong here. Our impulse is a natural evolutionary instinct. Species that conquer reality tend to live longer and do a lot more with the universe. To me this book of genesis sort of rejects this. They made the tree of knowledge seem like a bad thing. Why did we give our knowledge away to gods?
-Well it is a witness account, what do you expect, you can either choose to trust it as a honest historical account, or you can choose to not trust it, it's your choice.
You asked, "If we had an impulse to be gods why would we write a book that has the evil guy promoting it?"
-Because HUMILITY with love is the epitome of goodness & life, pride is the opposite. Pride slowly transforms innoscent people into villains, just look at Hitler
@TekLok You said, "If we had an impulse to be gods, then why would we write a book that has the evil guy promoting it?"
-Well actually, the desire to be God's personal children (with supernatural, glowing, bodies) is NOT an evil desire, in fact Jesus promices us that, but that desire has been twisted by Satan's influences to tempt us to desire to be God rather than to be his 'super' child instead
@TekLok You said, "Species that conquer reality tend to live longer & do a lot more with the universe. To me this book of genesis sort of rejects this."
-Not really, God did instruct us to be "multiply & subdue the earth" (which means to progress & make the earth easy to live in), but God also told us to be fruitful (which means to lead a morally useful life), God does promote what we want but we have to follow his instruction to inherit that, God explained that imorality produces death
@TekLok You said, "They made the tree of knowledge seem like a bad thing. Why did we give our knowledge away to gods?"
-God did not say that the tree of knowledge was bad, God said that it was a tree of the knowledge of good & evil, the rest of the bible explained that to know good & evil is to endure the responsability to be good, God told Adam & Eve to not eat from the tree so they can have a chance to not endure the responsability of being good; the tree was a moral challenge, not an evil
@starsheild7 Dude I don't believe in ANY of that nonsense, its all old religious nonsense. This is shit holding us back from actually achieving the stuff Michio Kaku often talks about. None of that garden of eden crap matters anymore. Its retarding our species.
Makes no sense. Moral challeges are only applicable to moral beings (ie being which know good and evil) Adam & Eve knew nothing of morality and thus to call the tree a moral challenge is to say that Adam & Eve already knew about morality before they ate from the tree.
Again, it makes no sense ....and it did not happen, obviously.
@RPFS2008 You said, "Moral challenges are only applicable to to moral beings (ie beings who know good & evil), Adam & Eve knew nothing of morality..."
-The choice to either eat from the tree or not was not the moral challenge, living life after eating from the tree was the moral challenge, God only explained that life would be a moral challenge 'after' eating from the tree because having the knowledge of good & evil is a big responsability.
@RPFS2008 That's correct; the tree itself was not an evil entity & the only reason that they had to leave God's presence was because they now knew good & evil, the responsibility to be perfect was placed on their shoulders & Jesus explained that our goid works are like dirty rags to God. Later God turned into a human (Jesus) to represent humanity & complete moral perfection that the tree required to protect humanity from the harshness of the responsibility of having the knowledge of good & evil
@RPFS2008 You're implying that God gave Adam & Eve no knowledge of good & evil what so ever before eating from the tree of ALL KNOWLEDGE of good & evil; there is no scripture that said that Adam & Eve did not know ANY knowledge about good & evil before eating from the tree; before eating from the tree God gave them a small percentage of knowledge by telling them "do not eat from the tree or you will eventually die". After they ate from the tree, they gained ALL KNOWLEDGE of good & evil
"there is no scripture that said that Adam & Eve did not know ANY knowledge about good & evil before eating from the tree; before eating from the tree God gave them a small percentage of knowledge"
So now it was morally wrong to eat from the tree? Make your mind up please.
@RPFS2008 You asked, "... why were they (& us, through "original sin") punished?"
-Huh? Does the bible actually say that we are punished for Adam & Eve's sin, or does it just say that sin & death came into the world when Adam & Eve ate from the tree instead?; The bible explains that we deserve death for our sins, not theirs. The bible also said that each of us sins everyday from infancy.
It does say more than just "sin & death came into the world" It even talks about birth pains etc.
I also find it funny how ppl like yourself, who are adamant that God is the source of everything, do your best to allieviate him of the responsibility of rule-maker. "sin & death came into the world", you make it sound like this wasn't God's doing...
@RPFS2008 You said, "It does say more than just 'sin & death came into the world' it also talks about birth pains etc."
-Yes, that's right, thank you for reminding me. But I sence a certain tone from this comment of yours, as if you're implying something here. If you are implying something about Adam having working all day to feed his family & Eve having have birth pains, please explain your point.
@RPFS2008 You said, "Well, I think inflicting birth pains on a woman can be considered a punishment by anyone's standard, don't you?"
-I'd rather ask a mother about it; there hasn't been one mother with children that said that child birth was unbearable, & doctors say that it is much less painful for a woman to stand up while giving birth (women do naturally lean foward when giving birth); & God didn't say that it is punishment, he said that Adam shall labor all day & Eve shall have labor pains
@starsheild7 Depends what you believe morality is. Christians believe morality is obedience - and the disobedience in the garden was a sin, an immoral act simply because it was a disobedience. That's one of the reasons I can't stand Christianity.
@relmneiko You said, "Depends what you believe morality is. Christians believe morality is obediances"
-That's stupid, because obedience alone can be applied to humans, & humans are corrupt. If christians believe in God then they SHOULD believe that morality is what GOD alone SAYS is morality: God DID NOT SAY that the tree in the garden was an evil entity
@starsheild7 It depends how you interpret the story. Most Christians take it as a lesson on obedience - many of the stories in the Old Testament are about obedience (Job, Abraham and Isaac, etc.). The apple itself is meaningless. The disobedience and the knowledge of sin (guilt) that comes of disobedience is the issue. Basically God just wants obedient slaves and punishes those who think for themselves. LOL Christianity.
@relmneiko You said, "Basically, God just wants obedient slaves & punishes those who think for theirselves"
-God already told us WHY he wants us to obey him (it's not for the fun of it): God said that life (literally) comes from, that he is the "light", He also said that he DESIRES for us to have life & to have it more abundantly. God does not punish us for thinking for ourselves, otherwise God wouldn't say the word "IF" you love me & come to me for refuge & will give you life.
@starsheild7 I claimed atheism, not nihilism. A lack of any conventional diety doesn't connotate with lifes' lack of meaning. Life is what you make of it.
And how on earth is that a question of my personal intelligence? Because I didn't present an argument filled to the brim with logic? I learned from experience that ignorance cannot be convinced to a point of view using logic.
Give me a reasonable argument for the existence of a diety containing FACTS and you get a cookie.
@jackhwo1 You said, "Give me a reasonable argument for the existence of a deity containing facts & you get a cookie."
-How can I convince you if you said, "Life is what you make of it"? You're obviously going to twist every FACT I give you into what you want it to be...
@starsheild7 Nihilism is the belief that life has no meaning, I portrayed the complete opposite of that, in that life means what you want it to mean. It's called free will. You utter moron.
I never professed to have been the creator, you clearly do not understand logic. You're making outragous claims in numerous different aspects of this argument. I see no reason to argue with someone who resembles the intelligence of a monkey.
@jackhwo1 why the fuck would you ask for proof of God when you can't prove otherwise? i made no claims you disproved nothing. i stated facts and told you, your making an invalid argument. the amount of denial and lack of sense your making is HILARIOUS. you have no way to prove God doesn't exist. you have no explanation for why ANYTHING exists. so therefore YOU say God doesn't exists on the basis of "i can't prove it" and YOU yourself exist on the basis of "i can't prove it". <<mental issues.
@jackhwo1 give reasonable evidence that ANYTHING can exist if matter cannot be created or destroyed. if that were true then there would be NOTHING period. existence is completely impossible yet it still happens, by you BELIEVING that you're alive your showing faith in that fact, and you can believe existence comes from WHEREVER you want: magic, the toothfairy, whatever you believe, you can take your cookies and shove them up your spoiled self righteous ass, cuz you can't prove there ISN'T God.
@jonnieos Faith is defined as believing in something without any reasonable evidence for its existence. The evidence for life is what you see before you, we are alive therefore faith in life is impossible because there's proof of it.
Matter is created and destroyed all the time, you utter idiot. ENGERGY cannot be destroyed or created, all matter consists of energy, get your facts right, idiot.
@jonnieos Nobody can disprove a God, because God is a negative, a negative cannot be disproven. Just like you cannot disprove the idea of the flying spagetti monster being the one true God. Go educate yourself you absolute moron.
@jackhwo1 Wow, you sound like you have PMS. Lighten up, you're not that great.
If I showed FACTS to back up the existance of God, you still wouldn't believe in God because you said, "Life is what you make of it", there for you would turn my FACTS into what you "want" it to be, geek.
@starsheild7 I display my dominant intelligence and you call me a geek. You should be proud of yourself.
Stop avoiding the argument by changing the subject. The potential existance of a God has nothing to do with my personal philosophy for life. Show me one conclusive fact about God and you'll have managed to convert an atheist to the 'one true path'.
I garuantee I prove it wrong with ease, you arrogant, narrow-minded little retard.
@relmneiko Think of God as being like oxygen: If you avoid oxygen at a degree you will slowly die, but the more you breath in oxygen & value it as an important resource to your life then you will live. Now imagine oxygen with a consciousness & a voice, if "oxygen" were to say, " if you come to me & breath me in, you will live, but only if you choose to breath me in or else you will die", if oxygen told you that would you accuse it of punishing you for thinking for yourself???
@Waywardpaladin My point was not to teach you about anti-oxydants, my point was to teach you an analogy to make you understand that God wants people to come to him for everything for survival, YOU KNEW THAT WAS THE POINT OF MY ANALOGY!
@starsheild7 I was hoping the :P would make it clear that I was being tongue-in-cheek, but it also shows that your metaphor was poorly wrought. You were trying to establish a continuum that the more God you had in your life, the more you would thrive, setting your example as the more oxygen you receive, the healthier you are. And yet, that is not the case, oxygen becomes toxic. So, to someone knowledgeable about that, you'd be implying to them that too much God is toxic.
@Waywardpaladin Now that you know what I meant by the analogy, do you now know WHY God wants us to do what he says out of humility? It is NOT because God has fun telling us what to do, it is because he is trying help us survive (literally) & & the only way he can save us is with our conscience because God says that it was his own consciousness that created the physical universe; God can't save us physically without moral consciousness
@Waywardpaladin On a side note, the more oxygen I breath in per square inch the healthier & more energetic I become, I don't know where you're getting the idea that more oxygen is poisonous from but it sounds like there's no proof to back it up. Portland Oregon has the highest consentration of oxygen in America (maybe the world even) I lived in Portland Oregon for 18 years, & my body was much healthier & more energetic than it is now since I moved to Seattle Washington 6 yrs ago (I'm 24 now)
@starsheild7 It is called hyperoxia, a medical condition when the oxygen concentration becomes too high. I was born a little north of Seattle, and am currently attending WSU and graduating with my BS in Genetics and Cellular Biology. I don't like Seattle the city, but I certainly enjoy the surrounding environment in Washington :)
@Waywardpaladin You said, "It is called hyperoxia, a medical condition when the oxygen concentration becomes too high"
-I see, well the analogy that I gave I was not referring to the people with the lack of nutrients to break down oxygen when it comes in too fast & too soon; oxygen is very healthy, but like all things, it can be fatal if it is consumed in the wrong way; the analogy was referring oxygen when it's broken down at proper amounts at proper speeds
@starsheild7 I'm not sure what you mean by people lacking nutrients to break down oxygen, but oxygen is one of the things that makes you age and die. When cyanobacteria first started fixing oxygen it wiped out most of the life on Earth in a mass extinction event because it was so toxic, you can now find those anaerobes hiding deep in the ocean. Oxygen causes oxidation, damaging your body and DNA. The reason why our body needs it though is because oxygen is such an electrophile
@Waywardpaladin Cyanobacteria doesn't explain why oxygen makes anyone age & die, & oxidation only kills the body if the body's chemicals are not strong enough to utilize it into a nutrient quick enough when breathed in; You're describing the effects that oxygen has on the body when the body has a form of malnutrition; for a normal person, extra oxygen actually energizes the body so well that people live longer, grow taller, & are physically stronger, Portlanders & Canadians are proof of that

@starsheild7 Actually, looks like they've moved on to mouse models. Go to pubmed . gov (without those spaces of course) and search for "Isotopic reinforcement of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids diminishes nigrostriatal degeneration in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease." for an example of the kind of research I'm talking about.
@Waywardpaladin You said, "I'm not sure what you mean by people lacking nutrients to break down oxygen..."
-Oxygen is a gas that helps break down nutrients like vitamins & put it into the body tissues, muscles & bones, etc, if the body has a lack of nutrients for the oxygen to break down, then the extra oxygen is going to oxydise other microscopic parts of the body: The only thing you're describing to me is the affects that oxygen has on bodies with malnutrition
@starsheild7 No, this is something that happens to you all the time. Go to wikipedia and type in Reactive Oxygen Species. Read through that article. Most cells are already at saturation for anti-oxidants, so it is a problem with malnutrition. There has been research on doing things to make membrane fatty acids resistant, like deuterating bis-allylic sites so that they can't be oxidized, but I've only seen that used in yeast so far.
@starsheild7 What kind of education do you have? Knowing a bit of your background might help me know how to phrase things and what basic assumptions I can make when mentioning things.
@starsheild7 Its affinity for electrons powers the electron transport chain in our mitochondria, but has to constantly be controlled and even then, you eventually age and die from all the accumulated damage oxygen causes that your body misses. We wouldn't be able to be large multicellular organisms without it though, as we wouldn't be able to make ATP fast enough.
@starsheild7 So hopefully you can see why someone with a certain education background would not agree with your metaphor. Though I am sure that some could argue that if your life was seemingly completely devoted to God that other parts of your life may suffer as well.
i don't think if the machines surpass us they will destroy us all, killing everything in your path is a very human way of looking at the universe, should machines become self-aware, they would most likely just leave the planet and let us destroy ourselves
i really hope i never live to see the day when people merge with machines.That shit scares the crap out of me.People are and do horrible enough things now with our limited minds and body's imagine how more evil and destructive man would be with all that.
I love this show but where the fuck do they find all those stupid freaks?? The show would be perfect if they cut out the ending which is just stupid nerd porn :/
But wait. there's a problem, what if government will control this. And give us falls information instead, reminds me of the song "Don't wanna be an American idiot". Media will control us just for businessman in all its forms could profit. There should be a strict rule. To make Human Race one, there should be no secrecy.
It will never happen because humanity is simply too corrupt to think in community, for the betterment of society? pff... and who's gonna build it? a for profit organization? puh-lease. Tesla was boycotted for much less. And what about the reaction of "indvidualists" who will bitch out about being interconnected? What about the powerful people who will fight and lobby for the status quo? Communism didn't fail because the ideals were wrong, it failed because we are as humans are failed.
@cannedboyz oh man you're so right. Pfff, who's gonna build a network of computers that people can use to communicate instantly all over the world? Who's gonna send people to the moon? Who's gonna create medicine to eradicate diseases? Who's gonna build airplanes to fly to any country within hours? Pfff, society can't do any of this cause it's CORRUPT, yo.
@moonscotch you are either too young or too naive if you think that those events were created thinking for the betterment of society as a whole.
Moon? It was a publicity stunt in the propaganda war against the powerful communism in the middle of the cold war.
Medicine? As long as these diseases aren't pandemic and fatal, they don't cure diseases anymore, only TREAT them... because of course there is the money.
Airplanes? Have you ever flown for free? Were they created for charity? No, it wasn't
@quelorepario And yes, I have flown for free. It's called frequent flyer miles. Why does something have to be free for people to enjoy it? It costs money to motivate people, how is that a bad thing? Money is a representation of production, what would you replace it with? Rants?
@moonscotch You are a slave of the system, and your ignorance is your bliss.
You might thank Edison for the lightbulb and the phonogram. What you ignore is that he was a thug who used all his power and influence to boycott Tesla's AC current.
Well, he couldn't, but if they succeeded we would be 50 years behind technologically. But yes, we are still behind, GP Morgan and Edison they were able to successfully destroyed Tesla's attempt to provide free electricity channeling the ionosphere.
You are deep into the lies of neokeynesian fantasies and capitalist propaganda.
True advancement can be produced by idealists and selfless creators who think about the society as a whole, not individuals who think about accumulating wealth for themselves. That is profit, the very source of inequality.
@quelorepario I just think it's hilarious that you go on your self-righteous rants using technology that was created by a capitalistic system. Tesla was a genius and contributed greatly to society, no argument there. But had he been more interested in using the system, he would have achieved even greater things. The reason he could not complete his inventions later in life was because of his naive attitude.
@quelorepario Had he chosen to profit off of his inventions, he would have been able to provide more funding for future inventions. This is how the world works. How do you eat? Do you grow your own food? Do you beg (like Tesla begged investors) to get free food? You're part of the system, and the system may not be perfect, but it's the best we got. Neither you nor Tesla can come up with anything better.
@quelorepario Oh btw you said the internet was the "only" exeption? How about GPS? How about the thousands of inventions that were made possible by technology developed to explore the moon?
@quelorepario And how dare people ever make money. You state that profit is the very source of inequality yet you fail to realize that every experiment in wealth redistribution at the national level has failed miserably to create equality. So, I ask you, have you ever made money? If so, were you upset because you "created inequality"?
@quelorepario When you devote yourself to following a collectively installed idealism, you inevitably enslave not only yourself, but others, as well. People will think they are free, when in reality they are not. Like George Gurdjieff said, 'You are in a prison. To get out is to realize you are in a prison.' Change starts from self. Every Human being has to come to this understanding themselves.
Artificial intelligence has no match to a Human's natural capabilities.
@quelorepario I just realized something. The solution to the problem with our healthcare system. The problem is that we pay for treatment, and not healthy outcomes. If we could change that, that would be great.
Problem is, there are only two ways to make that happen. Either impose government controls, which is not helpful, or provide an alternative system.
If you created an organization that attracts doctors who all agree to charge according to healthy outcomes, you might create a market trend.
@moonscotch Build a network of computers? That was financed and designed by the research division of the military, DARPA. And this is the only exception because a herd of Techno-hippies are trying hard to keep it free of Orwellian influences.
These ex-hippies and current nerds are bringing their ideals from the 60's and they found today a little niche within computers.
But with this single exception, the advancement of humanity has been squashed once and again with greed and profit.
@quelorepario funny how one word can change the entire meaning of a sentence. You say: "advancement of humanity has been squashed with greed and profit" I say it has been motivated by profit.
If you really think progress is being "squashed" you're sticking your head in the sand. expensive tech advances are usually created by the government (i.e. military and space programs) and then adapted by private companies when profitability is determined. no progress hindering involved.
what these people are apparently forgetting is who will actually have access to this technology? most likely the privileged elite either through economics or politics will have this ability of the gods solely. By the time this technology is available, also will exist the technocratic means to enslave populations either through condition like Brake New World, or technology with centralized monetary control. So rooting for technology to make us gods is very irresponsible & can be disastrous.
@sil3ntxOblivion We're dead meat either way, better to move forwards and see what happens than go back to the horror of the dark ages though isn't it?
@BeardedBill86 what I'm arguing for is some responsibility when it comes to considering the consequences of making such technology. there's a big difference between going back to the dark ages (all out rejection of technology) or the use of technology to create a world with a minority of gods over the rest of mankind.
@sil3ntxOblivion And you think you'll achieve that on a youtube comments section? I mean no insult, but the fact is neither you nor I are presidents or billionaire policy makers, we don't get to decide the future.
Unfortunately it's down to the natures of those in power and if history teaches us anything about people in power, it's rarely good.
Look at the current situation, the rich want more and the poor go mostly uncared for, it's better than it was, but it's still bad.
@NoobSlayeRVs Do we really need more people in the world? If we solve the problem of aging, maybe we should also stop reproducing, 7 billions more than enough people in my opinion.
I'm not in any hurry to be relegated to a ten by ten "room" in a skyscraper with a thousand others because of limitations of space, are you?
@BeardedBill86 Nature must have its reasons to make us die and reproduce. We are tapping or trying to tap with forces that we don't understand.
We used to use radium for years in jewelry, cosmetics and even food... until it was "discovered" that it was radioactive causing cancer.
Look at the mystery of disappearing bees.
We made a couple of mistakes like that in the past, and we keep making new discoveries that excites us all, but we are unaware of the real consequences in the long term.
if we got 1000000... times the processing power of our computers and program it to simulate our billions of neurons, it will THINK just like US. And practically this means that if we make even more neurons interact than what we have, they will be even more inteligents.
@LanRous In the future computers won't "think" they will use logical reasoning to solve and problems they face when trying to reach there central goal.
@LanRous I think that I have misunderstood you then. Yes, with TOOOOOOOOOO MUCH processing power, it is strongly possible. Simulating is "mimicing" physical phenomenas with calculations. Our brain consists of about 200 billion neurons (i think). If one could simulate the interactions, the message senders, the processing of these
messages, the synapses, etc, ..., he could make a brain REALLY think! Just like us.
But just imagine 200B neurons interact!!! That's a BIG thing!!! HELL!!!!!
@LanRous Look into Cognitive Computing and Cognitive semiconductors... IBM has a public announcement of this work uploaded here and its mostly DARPA funded too...
@xxAsteriskxx Bi superior, as most humans are actually born bisexual like most animals, but are brainwashed by the culture, and bis are much closer to self actualization..
@PsycheDelectic Haha I'll shy away from keeping the integrity of my joke to engage with you in a more meaningful manner
Although I wholly admit that I acknowledge the same sex, nor do I embrace homophobic behavior/ideas, I do have a clear preference. There is nothing wrong with men, or 'dudes', but as far as intimacy and romance goes, I am attracted to fostering and maintaining relationships with the opposite sex - but I guess that's a fair price to pay for self-actualization.
the point is "not all that glitters is gold" and I smell a trap for our souls(yes I believe we all have one) those of you who would dismiss the existence of God and would be soulless all I can say is good luck with your immortality there may come a day when you realize it was not all it was cracked up to be and you will all just be "ghosts in the machine" religion and churches merely serve to confuse us and keep us from knowing God thinking that we ARE gods just makes us megalomaniacs

Where does human nature get this impulse to be gods? The answer is in the book of Gensis, Satan said to Eve, "Ye shall be as gods".

@starsheild7 Except humans wrote that. So your not answering the question. If we had an impulse to be gods why would we write a book that has the evil guy promoting it? We're looking at this wrong here. Our impulse is a natural evolutionary instinct. Species that conquer reality tend to live longer and do a lot more with the universe. To me this book of genesis sort of rejects this. They made the tree of knowledge seem like a bad thing. Why did we give our knowledge away to gods?

Makes no sense. Moral challeges are only applicable to moral beings (ie being which know good and evil) Adam & Eve knew nothing of morality and thus to call the tree a moral challenge is to say that Adam & Eve already knew about morality before they ate from the tree.
Again, it makes no sense ....and it did not happen, obviously.

@Waywardpaladin Now that you know what I meant by the analogy, do you now know WHY God wants us to do what he says out of humility?

@starsheild7 I'm not sure what you mean by people lacking nutrients to break down oxygen, but oxygen is one of the things that makes you age and die. When cyanobacteria first started fixing oxygen it wiped out most of the life on Earth in a mass extinction event because it was so toxic, you can now find those anaerobes hiding deep in the ocean. Oxygen causes oxidation, damaging your body and DNA. The reason why our body needs it though is because oxygen is such an electrophile

@starsheild7 No, this is something that happens to you all the time. Go to wikipedia and type in Reactive Oxygen Species. Read through that article.

Media will control us just for businessman in all its forms could profit. There should be a strict rule. To make Human Race one, there should be no secrecy.

I prefer human augmentation. I don't want to dump my brain into a computer, I want to dump a computer into my brain.
I want two brains, one digital, one organic; both augmenting each other, both sapient.
I would never be alone, never be ignorant and never be confused again, by anything.

It will never happen because humanity is simply too corrupt to think in community, for the betterment of society? pff... and who's gonna build it? a for profit organization? puh-lease. Tesla was boycotted for much less. And what about the reaction of "indvidualists" who will bitch out about being interconnected? What about the powerful people who will fight and lobby for the status quo? Communism didn't fail because the ideals were wrong, it failed because we are as humans are failed.

@cannedboyz oh man you're so right. Pfff, who's gonna build a network of computers that people can use to communicate instantly all over the world? Who's gonna send people to the moon? Who's gonna create medicine to eradicate diseases? Who's gonna build airplanes to fly to any country within hours? Pfff, society can't do any of this cause it's CORRUPT, yo.

@moonscotch you are either too young or too naive if you think that those events were created thinking for the betterment of society as a whole.
Moon? It was a publicity stunt in the propaganda war against the powerful communism in the middle of the cold war.
Medicine? As long as these diseases aren't pandemic and fatal, they don't cure diseases anymore, only TREAT them... because of course there is the money.
Airplanes? Have you ever flown for free? Were they created for charity? No, it wasn't
quelorepario 2 weeks ago
@quelorepario And yes, I have flown for free. It's called frequent flyer miles. Why does something have to be free for people to enjoy it? It costs money to motivate people, how is that a bad thing? Money is a representation of production, what would you replace it with? Rants?

@moonscotch You are a slave of the system, and your ignorance is your bliss.
You might thank Edison for the lightbulb and the phonogram. What you ignore is that he was a thug who used all his power and influence to boycott Tesla's AC current.
Well, he couldn't, but if they succeeded we would be 50 years behind technologically. But yes, we are still behind, GP Morgan and Edison they were able to successfully destroyed Tesla's attempt to provide free electricity channeling the ionosphere.

@moonscotch Tesla is the most iconic case.
You are deep into the lies of neokeynesian fantasies and capitalist propaganda.
True advancement can be produced by idealists and selfless creators who think about the society as a whole, not individuals who think about accumulating wealth for themselves. That is profit, the very source of inequality.
quelorepario 2 weeks ago 14
@quelorepario I just think it's hilarious that you go on your self-righteous rants using technology that was created by a capitalistic system. Tesla was a genius and contributed greatly to society, no argument there. But had he been more interested in using the system, he would have achieved even greater things. The reason he could not complete his inventions later in life was because of his naive attitude.
moonscotch 1 week ago
@quelorepario Had he chosen to profit off of his inventions, he would have been able to provide more funding for future inventions. This is how the world works. How do you eat? Do you grow your own food? Do you beg (like Tesla begged investors) to get free food? You're part of the system, and the system may not be perfect, but it's the best we got. Neither you nor Tesla can come up with anything better.

@quelorepario And how dare people ever make money. You state that profit is the very source of inequality yet you fail to realize that every experiment in wealth redistribution at the national level has failed miserably to create equality. So, I ask you, have you ever made money? If so, were you upset because you "created inequality"?

@6footdunker It is a zero sum game. If I accumulate resources, others can't get it.
Today 1% of the world population owns 70% of the resources of our planet Earth .
If that's not a scary scenario, I don't know what is.
quelorepario 1 week ago
@quelorepario When you devote yourself to following a collectively installed idealism, you inevitably enslave not only yourself, but others, as well. People will think they are free, when in reality they are not. Like George Gurdjieff said, 'You are in a prison. To get out is to realize you are in a prison.' Change starts from self. Every Human being has to come to this understanding themselves.
Artificial intelligence has no match to a Human's natural capabilities.

@quelorepario I just realized something. The solution to the problem with our healthcare system. The problem is that we pay for treatment, and not healthy outcomes. If we could change that, that would be great.
Problem is, there are only two ways to make that happen. Either impose government controls, which is not helpful, or provide an alternative system.
If you created an organization that attracts doctors who all agree to charge according to healthy outcomes, you might create a market trend.

@moonscotch Build a network of computers? That was financed and designed by the research division of the military, DARPA. And this is the only exception because a herd of Techno-hippies are trying hard to keep it free of Orwellian influences.
These ex-hippies and current nerds are bringing their ideals from the 60's and they found today a little niche within computers.
But with this single exception, the advancement of humanity has been squashed once and again with greed and profit.
quelorepario 2 weeks ago
@quelorepario funny how one word can change the entire meaning of a sentence. You say: "advancement of humanity has been squashed with greed and profit" I say it has been motivated by profit.
If you really think progress is being "squashed" you're sticking your head in the sand. expensive tech advances are usually created by the government (i.e. military and space programs) and then adapted by private companies when profitability is determined. no progress hindering involved.

what these people are apparently forgetting is who will actually have access to this technology? most likely the privileged elite either through economics or politics will have this ability of the gods solely. By the time this technology is available, also will exist the technocratic means to enslave populations either through condition like Brake New World, or technology with centralized monetary control. So rooting for technology to make us gods is very irresponsible & can be disastrous.

BeardedBill86 2 weeks ago
@BeardedBill86 what I'm arguing for is some responsibility when it comes to considering the consequences of making such technology. there's a big difference between going back to the dark ages (all out rejection of technology) or the use of technology to create a world with a minority of gods over the rest of mankind.

@sil3ntxOblivion And you think you'll achieve that on a youtube comments section? I mean no insult, but the fact is neither you nor I are presidents or billionaire policy makers, we don't get to decide the future.
Unfortunately it's down to the natures of those in power and if history teaches us anything about people in power, it's rarely good.
Look at the current situation, the rich want more and the poor go mostly uncared for, it's better than it was, but it's still bad.

@BeardedBill86 Nature must have its reasons to make us die and reproduce. We are tapping or trying to tap with forces that we don't understand.
We used to use radium for years in jewelry, cosmetics and even food... until it was "discovered" that it was radioactive causing cancer.
Look at the mystery of disappearing bees.
We made a couple of mistakes like that in the past, and we keep making new discoveries that excites us all, but we are unaware of the real consequences in the long term.

@LanRous two words. "VIRTUAL BRAIN"
if we got 1000000... times the processing power of our computers and program it to simulate our billions of neurons, it will THINK just like US. And practically this means that if we make even more neurons interact than what we have, they will be even more inteligents.
This is what is called simulation.

@LanRous I think that I have misunderstood you then. Yes, with TOOOOOOOOOO MUCH processing power, it is strongly possible. Simulating is "mimicing" physical phenomenas with calculations. Our brain consists of about 200 billion neurons (i think). If one could simulate the interactions, the message senders, the processing of these
messages, the synapses, etc, ..., he could make a brain REALLY think! Just like us.
But just imagine 200B neurons interact!!! That's a BIG thing!!! HELL!!!!!

Although I wholly admit that I acknowledge the same sex, nor do I embrace homophobic behavior/ideas, I do have a clear preference. There is nothing wrong with men, or 'dudes', but as far as intimacy and romance goes, I am attracted to fostering and maintaining relationships with the opposite sex - but I guess that's a fair price to pay for self-actualization.
