JWST, Teleportation, and Living Forever with Isaac Arthur

Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur is a KZbin channel which focuses on exploring the depths of concepts in science and futurism. Since its first episode in 2014, SFIA has considered topics ranging from the seemingly mundane, to the extremely exotic, featuring episodes on megastructure engineering, interstellar travel, the future of earth, and the Fermi paradox, among others. Yet regardless of how strange a subject may seem, Isaac always tries to ensure that the discussion is grounded in the known science of today.
Isaac Arthur joins John Michael Godlier on today’s Event Horizon to discuss thoughts on life extension, Nanotechnology, Artificial intelligence. The Fermi paradox, and more.

Do you think the end result of biological life is machine life? Let John know below. Happy New Year!

[@babyoda1973]

My two favorite people in one show yea

[@nicholasbrunning]

Yes, yes it is, but will keep the meat sacs for a while.

[@stricknine6130]

Yes, at least part machine.

[@Dontlook146]

Not for me. Carnal all the way!

[@aprylvanryn5898]

I don't think any intelligent biological entity would ever commit to being fully machine although I can see neural processors, prosthetics, nanotechnology coming into play in the near future

[@PatriciaOConnorBonsaiBalcony]

Listening to the two of you I'm reminded of the young ones who subscribed to "Amazing Stories" those ten-year-olds would read about then later create the atomic age like Jules created the notion of submarines and space travel. John you and Eryn, and Isaac are our Jules our Amazing Stories, and it will come because you saw and showed it to us.

[@ClaytonBigsby01]

Yo pass that this way🥴

[@francisgillett]

I love this comment...they are inspiring people in this day and age and can see your analogy. ❤

[@Jesse-cw5pv]

I read the title as living forever WITH Isaac Arthur. Like you're both immortal living together. I guess there are much worse people to be stuck with for eternity

[@benjano100]

And now imagine having something like a monthly livestream of those two wonderful people just talking about stuff. Always a great pleasure to have both in one video!!

[@baahcusegamer4530]

Two legends of futurism meet!! Very glad for this episode!

Isaac made a great point hinting at utilizing the power of the microbiome to fight disease rather than the classical conception of micro-machines. Truly the invisible, distributed organ.

[@rowanhawklan9707]

"Most if the population are not focused on making themselves smarter" You got that right. And the award for the biggest understatement goes to Issac Arthur. Priceless.

[@nsfeliz7825]

people want to be happy not smart.

[@stricknine6130]

I love hearing John and Isaac discuss the future. Thanks for another great episode and Happy New Year to you John, Ross and Eryn. :)

[@ClaytonBigsby01]

Issac was a little black pulled on the rest of the century. But he’s wrong we’re in a new space race . One that won’t be killed by NASA’ s insane budgets . Look at what Elon has done in 15 years starting from nothing. By 2100 I bet things will be popping in low earth orbit

[@gomahklawm4446]

Even Elon admitted SpaceX will go bankrupt without Starship....for which there is NO MARKET. SpaceX will be gine soon, his Mars delusions are just that....DELUSUONS. Common Sense Skeptic and Thunderfoot have proven this beyond doubt. Inform yourself. CSS goes in depth so even the brainless can see it if they watch and listen.

[@gomahklawm4446]

My response was @clayton. But it doesn't always do what it should in replies sadly.

Lol, not sure he has been knighted yet. Maybe the queen could be a fan. But normally just us brits...

[@WhisperingDeath]

My favorite collaboration on all of KZbin! Thank you to John and Isaac for keeping these discussions coming!

[@_JayRamsey_]

I can't express enough how much I like conversational Isaac Arthur, especially when speaking with JMG

[@madmattdigs9518]

Good stuff… this kind of talk makes me wish I would’ve lived a healthier life. I’ve never really been concerned with living long, or dying. But man, I want to see what cool technologies and amazing discoveries the future will bring.

[@theobserver9131]

Well said. I have similar feelings. I have not given a lot of thought to my future. But I've had a lot of great nows. I've worked hard, and played harder. My machine is getting worn out. I am only 57, but I feel like I am 97. If I can make it another 10 to 20 years, I might be able to benefit from radical life extension.

[@jwgault669]

It's never too late to start. I'm 44 and haven't taken care of myself for about 5 years now. The thought of NAD+, stem cell research, senescence cell destruction, etc makes me want to get back to the gym and throw out the nachos and cheese....well, maybe not the nachos and cheese. Ha ha.

[@Dinoenthusiastguy]

I'm a personal trainer and I see old folks come to the gym and make drastic improvements in their health all the time. It's never too late to start!

Another great episode, from my two favorite Futurist.

[@auguststavbro]

To the point made about the potential to alter memory in the brain, I recommend the book “Decoding the World” by Po Bronson and Arvind Gupta. In one of the chapters Bronson details the recently characterized genetic component of memory, where RNA stores “cognitive sequences” that detail the sequence of neurons firing that constitute a memory, where sequences are shared among connecting neurons dynamically forming synapses. In this way memory can be understood to be an electrical, chemical, and genetic process!

[@Gerdaldfighterkid]

Isaac Arthur is a legend

[@deusexaethera]

Something people always forget about living forever is that it also means working forever. Replacing broken parts, acquiring energy, renting disk space on a server, whatever -- staying alive will never be free, simply because of the laws of thermodynamics. Unless, after a couple centuries of being alive, people reliably become content to grow vegetables in their backyards and not buy anything that isn't absolutely required, eventually people are going to get sick of being alive simply because they're tired of having to work.

[@trumpisaconfirmedcuck5840]

The uber rich don't need to work and yet rarely off themselves. Retirees (including people into FIRE) don't seem to either.

[@ppsayl1235]

Any thoughts as to why our bodies didn't evolve to process salt water as it is (and has been) the most plentiful liquid on the planet? If only 3% of all water is fresh water, one would think that from an evolutionary standpoint, salt water would have gained the upper hand in terms of viable consumption and physiological make up of our bodies over millions of years. Hmmm...

[@sachinisthegod2824]

If some proto humans developed a mutation that allowed them to drink saltwater it probably didn't afford enough of an advantage to allow them to produce more offspring. Maybe nobody wanted to smash the weirdo who drank seawater.

[@happyhammer1]

I bet Isaac Arthur is excited about JWST now!

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

We all are. More JWST content on the way this month too.

[@JankyBruv]

Ha. My two "modern sci-fi" celebrities together once again. Neat.

[@dessertstorm7476]

the goals of the JWST seem to be to investigate the deeper physics questions like galaxy formation, CMB, star formation, and searchin for life is like the last goal they tacked on the end. So it might be a long time before they start actually looking for technosignatures. I wonder who decides what to point the telescope at, and how flexible the schedule is. It might be booked up for years in advance

[@jakebella5683]

Towards the end “sleep focused content” LOL. John you are never boring. Stay cool

[@MCsCreations]

Really, really interesting conversation indeed! Thanks, JMG! 😃 And I was thinking... I definitely don't want to live forever, but because, in my case, it would mean eternal suffering. (I fight depression daily since 1992.) BUT, if my mind could be copied to a computer where this copy would exist without suffering... I wouldn't be against it. And, honestly, it would be an interesting experiment. Because I'm extremely curious, always wanted to learn lots of things... But my depression won't let me. But without that and other human limitations... What a mind like ours would be capable of? Maybe that's how real artificial intelligence would be born? Who knows... Anyway, happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

"Living Forever with Isaac Arthur" Talk about a commitment. Can't say no, though, really. Jokes aside, a great note to end this year of EH on.

[@Eckendenker]

I am torn about the machine life thing. I think there will always be a beauty in having a living and breathing body and that generations in the far future would rather change their skin than switch into mechanical bodies. Wear a flying body for a decade or two and then change pace, four arms and seeing 20 colors, live as an artist.

[@TheMajorpickle01]

There's nothing stopping an advanced civilization living in a hybrid state. You could have for example "organs" that are entirely mechanical so they never fail but have skin and a form of synthetic blood pumping around your veins. You'd have the strength and certainty of steel, and the complete experience of biological experience.
