Tom Snyder Interviews Durk Pearson and Jerry Pournelle Pt 3

It's too bad that learning really hasn't changed too much. Now things like spelling and the rapid duplication of sometimes "wrong" information is a daily occurrence.

Well, 30 years out and computers are in most gadgets, and they are interactive, and kids do use them as babysitters, but to play videogames, post to Facebook, and watch videos. Haven't heard of much kid monitoring via web-cam, yet, though.

And the thought-reading part never happened yet in any but the most limited lab-based ways.

Thought controlled computers are currently under development. RAND corp has setup several perma paralysis patients with a computer hooked up to their brain. We are almost there for realizing neural net systems and the age of the cybernetic brain.

Wow this is great, I just got thinking about Durk Pearson today, and thought I would punch it in YouTube. I used to watch him and Sandy on Merv Griffin way back then.(I owned a few of their books) Ive been wondering how they were doing. Jerry Pournelle is pretty amazing also.

And Tom is great, really enjoyed watching this, thanks for posting.

Durk looks bad according to the people I know who have seen him. So , Vitamins don't work.

[Serrapeptase]

Well, there we have it folks! Nesnman says "vitamins

don't work" so it must be true! Alert the media!

[nesnman]

Why don't Durk and Sandy show themselves ?

[Serrapeptase]

They have. Google is your friend.

[nesnman]

Durk and Sandy haven't been on Television in years. You have to wonder why

[Serrapeptase]

You really need to upgrade your cable package. Wonder no more.

[Serrapeptase]

You actually know people?!?

[Serrapeptase]

Durk and Sandy are very much alive and well living

somewhere in Nevada. They contribute articles on

life-enchancement (google it).

[nesnman]

Alive but what do they look like? Why don't they show themselves on television? If you take the supplements they tell you to take you can spend some very serious money. Don't we deserve a look at how it's working on them? It's not working on Clint Eastwood.

[Liquidsound]

Funny that there's a cigarette burning and you can see Durk's eyes glancing at it.

[yespatrickstewartyes]

It's a little weird watching these predictions on basically what was predicted, i.e. youtube and the internet.  It's rare that technology enthusiasts are so right about the future like these guys are. I'm also curious about waht these people are up to now.

[r06u3AP]

Just Google their names, there's all kinds of info.

[Liquidsound]

Where is he now?

[depo4]

Durk - Living in Nevada and raising (specially bred) cattle.

Durk Pearson is brilliant.
