Robin Hanson visits Quixey to discuss the science of brain emulation societies!

The three most disruptive transitions in history were the introduction of humans, farming, and industry. If another transition lies ahead, a good guess for its source is artificial intelligence in the form of whole brain emulations, or "ems," sometime in the next century. He applies standard academic consensus science, including social science, to this unusual situation, to outline a baseline scenario set modestly far into a post-em-transition world. He consider families, reproduction, mating, cities, finance, training, careers, management, identity, talk, culture, security, inequality, life plans, daily activities, property rights, industrial organization, and governance.
