He seems to describing a diminished expectation for what we call "being human"..merely information processers.... the ego doesn't want to see anything greater than itself, any machine greater than its machines.
In the 18th century, man was proud of his watch mechanisms, so God was a watchmaker. Now we are proud of our computers, so God is a programmer.
I’m sure we shall see artificial intelligence before long, just as soon as the psychopaths can use them to control murder and steal from the rest of us.
What an insightful and thought provoknig interview...what a pity we cannot yet bottle some of the amazing minds who come into this world and give each of us a drop now and then. I suppose like everything scientific this little idea of mine could be used both for good and evil....information is only as good as the giver of the infomation and the receiver. We each perceive "stuff" in different ways anyway. Who decides what is good anyway. One person's culture is another's anathema.

@ThinkingAllowedTV Interesting... I was born exactly one month later on December 19th. Perhaps a small synchronicity nudged me in this direction? :)

@QuantumLeap365 I was thinking similarly i was born in 1988 yet feel this is far more relevant to me than everything i see in modern media. ( : Yay!
