Ray Kurzweil Transcendent Man on Opie and Anthony(2011)

[fdny9682]

@JediRibeye Tsst Tsst transcendent man. What's he invisible or somethin?!

[JediRibeye]

18:40 Fucking Chip met Ray Zurweil before me. I really do suck. I really, really do.

[GoVir4l]

The only reason life expectancy was 37 in the 1800's and 20 a thousand years ago was due to infant mortality, if you actually made it into childhood you'd live as long as you would today.

[BeerHombre]

@GoVir4l

we there were higher chances that you'd die along the way from simple things as infection, or pneumonia but indeed infant mortality rate were far higher back then

[GoVir4l]

@BeerHombre - I just find it strange how we all marvel at science and technology yet fail to appreciate the billions of pieces of data stored within say the seed of a Sequoia sempervirens tree - which has codes on how to transport water from the ground up to heights of nearly 500 feet - the greatest forms of genius are found within nature yet we do nothing but tread on them to perpetuate our own forms of what we believe to be superior genius.

[drunkNbored9]

@GoVir4l fucking trees will impress me when they start talking and carry hobbits around the forest to molest later. im just busting your balls a lil

[drunkNbored9]

were ggoonnnaaa become BROGSSSS

[miguelseabra82]

Love ant's Dice impression at 49:13 and jimmy laughing after that...

[GMann43]

@miguelseabra82 can you explain ant's joke? "it needed the money?"

[miguelseabra82]

@GMann43 It's an Andrew Dice Clay Joke. Go on youtube and search for "andrew dice clay little boy blew".

[corrrect]

will you except the mark of the beast?.. chains, and whips have been replaced with technology....

[avedic]

@corrrect did you mean accept? but no, sorry...im not a member of your cult. the mark of the beast is a fairy tale

[Thestraub]

what if were computer ai made by some other beings

[spacecowboy95]

"fat insulin receptor genes would be great pants for fat people" haha

[BJZnRPZ]

tsss this guy knows more formulas than similac or something..tssss

[RKO36]

I was picking my dog's nose at age 5. -_-

[1844Freddy]

are there any better eggs than hoohoorobin? I think not!

[NutNapalm]

I think that what he's talking about is making a copy. What we really need is to use nanites to replicate the way our body replaces cells. This would allow this instance of ourselves to continue existing by replacing the inferior natural process.

[FutureRefrence]

Watch Ray's crazy documentary on my channel. iRobot anyone?

[17R3W]

Ray is a good sport.

[stokepogue]

Virtual reality won't come soon enough. When it does, I'm gone.

[dontblockmedk]

"Money/market" is ROOT of problems, how do we:

1. stop corruption caused by profit motive?

2. ensure everyone has minimum necessities?

ANSWER

1. FREELY Share ALL resources & knowledge worldwide, NO more money/property

2. Use LATEST technology to create an ABUNDANCE of all our needs, NO more waste/theft

3. Automate/localize ALL production and distribution, NO more central control/wage slavery

[JerFhilm]

@dontblockmedk Good luck with that one. When the current power base is profit driven nothing will change.

[dontblockmedk]

@JerFhilm Thanks. The world belongs to everyone. The revolution is NOW.

WATCH ZEITGEIST 3

[NutNapalm]

@JerFhilm When people see the possibility of profit becoming obsolete, the power base may find itself out on it's ass.

[ktw5086]

@dontblockmedk

We don't need to view your movie to see your point. All we need do is open a history book and read about the Soviet Union.

Gotta love 21st Century Marxism.

[dontblockmedk]

@ktw5086 This has NOTHING AT ALL to do with communism. The REAL questions.

1 Can we produce ABUNDANT food, water, energy, etc for everyone or not?

2 Do we have the technology to automate most of the work or not?

If no, prove it.

If yes, 'money for labor' is OBSOLETE. So the only logical system is to produce abundance and just distribute it. There can only be force when there is NOT enough for everyone, ONLY with abundance EVERYONE is FREE. GET IT.

[oshory]

@dontblockmedk A resource based economy seems to be the most logical system for a sustainable future. Although I support the Venus Project I do see some "problems". I think everyone will integrate into a matrix like system instead of actually living real life. Also I see nihilistic terrorists causing a Big Brother like presence to be necessary (I know that police isn't even in the plans right now). Peter Joseph isn't infallible; Jacque Fresco isn't God; and 9/11 WAS NOT AN INSIDE JOB!

[dontblockmedk]

@oshory Nothing is perfect but this is WAY better than any other system I have heard. Don't you agree?

Terrorists and big brother are symptoms of the current system. I doubt they will exist in the future, except inside a matrix style game (which some people would play but definitely not everyone) where they can't hurt real people.

The world belongs to everyone. The revolution is NOW.

[oshory]

@dontblockmedk Of course not everyone will integrate into a synthetic reality but I think a large number will. But I do think you are naive in believing that terrorists are a product of the current system. They are driven by other reasons that would not be resolved by any system including the RBE. Stop kidding yourself. I think for the movement to be successful, we are going to need to be a little more realistic about the transition and law and order. Btw I read JF's books and seen PJ's movies.

[360DavidH]

hoohoohoo ro-BIN, love it xD

[napoleonseven]

I love his nonchalant rejection of overpopulation.

[svenp]

@napoleonseven Yeah, I'm not sure I buy his blase assumptions.  Certain kinds of technology have been expanding exponentially but many other important things such as natural resources & energy haven't. In fact on a per capita basis they've been declining for decades. You can't eat information technology and it won't run your car.

[napoleonseven]

@svenp They are assumptions, but I wasn't being sarcastic. I agreed with him.  Hey, it's optimistism for sure.

[kasuskasus]

"He's laughing at us the way we laugh when a cat has like a sock on its face."

Hahaha. :P

[matchbox555]

ray was great... shame about all the other assholes

[LAPunk1986]

That all sounds cool as shit.

[iSOBigD]

This guy sounds great. Smart guy and a good, funny, informative interview.

[maddne0]

Ant's fucking Dice reference..holy shit was that great.

[77Fortran]

@maddne0 haha yes!!

[BURNINATOR8]

I love your intro lol

[signboyy]

at the end anthony just has to start his right wing rant. rush limbaugh wannabe.

[shrookins]

wow what an amazing interview, interesting, funny and compelling. O&A is the the most well rounded form of entertainment in the world for whatever my worthless opinion means.

[jhohcable]

Holy shit I just listened to the actual entire fawkin interview and wow.

[zacklyzun]

not funny

[illusionart]

wow! technology's gonna be bigger than our imaginations?

[BellaOxmix]

@illusionart i wish jimmy would have said that to that nerd

[PhatBoyMedia]

He kinda sounds like 'The Brain'...

[diz0960]

@PhatBoyMedia Really never noticed that

[jhohcable]

@PhatBoyMedia So he sounds like Orson Welles? :3

[ihateloggingin111]

Jimmy and Ant manage to be funny without stepping all over Kurzweil, which is no small achievement. And surprisingly, if you like understated, dry humor, Kurzweil is pretty funny, like when he's talking to Jimmy: "Does that work?" and then "You're going to the wrong parties," and later, "I retired when I was 5."

[Zerginfantry]

@ihateloggingin111 I think Chess is too violet a game...
