just one more thing.. The rising billion who are spending one third of their income a day on water.. that's 1 dollar per person.. "that's a huge marketplace.." (??) scary dude..
It's a great interview, in a way I love where this is going from a technological viewpoint. Until at around 1:33 when he says something completely illogical. Great wealth can come from solving these big problems? By creating a world of abundance? I don't think so mister, unfortunately, this is not how our fantastic system works. Some major changes need to be made in our socioeconomic structures if we want to indeed, survive, this technological singularity.. scarcity is the fuel now.. not oil..
@ExtropianMan You also think that abundance will be achieved by harnessing greed of DIY individuals, as he proposes? In my mind, thats just keeping things the same and doing what we were doing up to now but this time with abundance/singularity sticker instead of small business/NGO sticker. He is trying to delegate responsibility (done before) to entities which are powerless compared to existing structures and global relations.
@ExtropianMan -continued- Considering tectonic depth of changes (needed and already happening) I believe that his approach is flawed. Individual initiative is important but true progress could only be achieved through seriously redefining economic theory (according to reality not this hypocritical crap that always delegates responsibility to weakest links) and institutional steering of biggest companies toward this goal. He sounds as if he came from WB or IMF just with word abundance.
@ndanaylov I am not able to fully explain it in a YT comment. I still believe that his views are very narrow and too dependent on market paradigm. IMO, he is not talking about singularity but about dawn of 21th century and with a narrow market perspective. Singularity is something which anyone of us can hardly glimpse. We all need an update of our semantic reactions. Singularity, if it ever happens, will be something unprecedented in human history. His vocabulary is obsolete in this context.

@MarkoKraguljac I agree we need to move beyond capitalism. The singularity types seem to believe we will. Diamandis is optimistic not confused.
