Leo Dirac on Transhuman Morality

[TheJamesrocket]

What is this?! I thought hippys cared about the planet? Now you want to get to the point where you don't need life as you know it? Thats a sad, sad little world you speak of. Glad none of us will be alive if that day comes. I agree with most of what you say, but stating that we don't want or need the planet earth is taking it too far. The world you speak of sounds like quite the vile one. No diverse, breath taking array of plants and animals. Just human beings and bacteria.

I really respect him, he seems very likable, intelligent, and well intentioned. But I don't agree with him. I don't believe we can upload ourselves to computers and then let our bodies die. Or at least, it seems unlikely. I don't believe it is immoral to let society fall, because that is based on illusions that these things matters and that we can control them. Furthermore, assuming society will fall within 1,000 years is silly. No one can make accurate predictions about the flow of evolution.

Keep up the good work! I'm surprised transhumanists don't already have a more cohesive presence on YouTube...but good work spreading the meme!

woohoo, I'm going into cybernetics research to try to advance the singularity.

Nice video, fast paced and entertaining (although I don't think the presentation is as hilarious as the crowd's reaction would suggest). I agree with boogoolooo2 - I think when people hear these ideas that portray a life radically different than theirs, many automatically judge said ideas as ridiculous. Everything Dirac is predicting in this video is very feasible and will probably spot on. If you want to learn more about AI and Singularity join Yudkowsky's AI mailing list.
