"Diplomacy does not exist because people are nice and friendly, but because we often are not"...these videos are full of bad ass sentences like that. "No one is going to be casual about just deploying self-replicators somewhere in the Solar system to build whatever, because you could be building whatever". Loved it

@milanstevic84246 жыл бұрын
But it's very reasonably straightforward. Of course diplomacy exists to address the problem that's clearly solvable by introducing diplomacy. Yes this is a recursive sentence, but it's important that this knowledge is a posteriori, as we had to become aware of the problem in the first place, and once it became obvious that applied diplomacy does solve some things, it painted a clear picture of how things were different before it was practiced. Henceforth "Diplomacy does not exist because people are nice and friendly". In other words, there is no a priori reason to have diplomacy at all. You first need to stumble upon a wall, acknowledge its presence as an obstacle, only then you can expend the energy to try and climb over it. Thus "climbing over" IMPLIES a wall. I'm just glad he's capable of having such a straightforward thought and constructing very concise sentences out of it. That's the only way to climb to the higher, more speculative, level of abstraction where he likes to dwell.

You talked a lot about shielding a ship at high speeds during this episode, I’d like to see an in depth episode about shields in the future. How can we deal with flying through a dense cloud of dust without big buckshot holes in the hull if we never figure out some sort of Star Trek-like energy field that repels rock as much as it does metals? Several meters thick hulls seem like a really inefficient and wasteful way of dealing with these problems and could be insanely costly, it could seriously hinder trade and make it so there never really are civilian-run cargo ships, only government and corporate ships, which is kind of a bummer.

It does not need to be alien, we dont know how biological evolution can get in few millions of years ( Bryan Aldiss Hothouse .. ).. maybe if humans get radically changed or viped out. Is there some physical and biological ( well and technological with genetic manipulation ) basis for civilization / race / species like that ?

Not literal siblings, of course. Genetic diversity.

The top ten most common elements (in the Universe) include Iron and Carbon, so steel is not going anywhere. The top four are Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen and Carbon; three of these are elements found in Lignin, Cellulose and many other plastics. Silicon is also common and with Oxygen forms Quartz and other 'rocky' materials. However, carbon is four times as common as Iron and seven times as common as silicon, so the allotropes of Carbon (such as graphene and diamond) will become more common, eg: diamond for chip substrates rather than silicon. Magnesium, Sulphur, Calcium, Aluminium and Nickel aren't too far down the list and so are likely to end up reasonably "cheap" too. Of course cheap mass transmutation would change this.

At around 9:20 you said "From your perspective you left earth and awoke in a cloned or android body an instant later." Are you implying that there would be subjective continuity for the original that was sent? This might seem like a small, throwaway thing to say, but it really is super crucial. Don't you think that would have a huge influence on whether and how people will do those things in that future? If you have the ability to beam copies of legal entities back and forth between star systems, you'll need laws regulating who is you and whether the copies have any rights regarding your property and stuff like that. At that point and given that there is no individual, subjective continuity for the original when the copy is sent, it probably makes no sense anymore to actually send real copies and it would be better to "remix" new personalities instead. That way there is no confusion over who is who and who owns what and you, as the original aren't really losing anything if they just send your useful knowledge to implant it in a newly made personality, instead of actually copying all of you. Of course, that would call into question whether it still makes much sense to actually use human like personalities at all anymore, which in return makes the whole endeavor kind of pointless. In the end it hardly matters whether they send copies of you or not. Either way, it isn't really you that is traveling and expanding, so why do it at all? Sure, it might give you some ease of mind on a "propagating your genes" level, to know that if anything happens to you, there is another you in safety far away, but A: at the point at which you can actually do all of this, that kind of thinking is probably outdated and pointless and your original is super unlikely to be destroyed anyways, or if, then by other humans and they then could just send instructions to the other system to delete your copy there too, or whatever. And B: again, that copy would stop really being you after a while of running anyways. Honestly, it really irks and annoys me when SF authors and other people just gloss over and ignore the issue of subjective continuity, the "Star Trek transporters are suicide booths!"-horror and all that. To me it is the most important and crucial question in all of this and when people ignore or hand wave it away, or only acknowledge it when it is useful to the plot, but ignore it at other times, like Richard K. Morgan does in his "Altered Carbon" books, it kind of renders everything else happening pointless, like a complicated, long mathematical formula that had some flaw at the beginning and is thus based on false assumptions.
@dragoscostache416 жыл бұрын
This bugged me a long time and I didn't see anyone adress the problem. When you are uploading your mind on a computer or anything you are basically commiting suicide, you're not going to wake up and continue your life inside the computer, it's just a copy. And this brings the question, why would you do it in the first place?
@TrangleC6 жыл бұрын
@@dragoscostache41 Yes, if the original is destroyed during or after the upload, it would be suicide. The copy might feel it is you and have all your memories up until the moment of upload and for the copy it would seem as if it existed before the upload and just switched over, but for you, the original, there would be no waking up in the computer, or in that other star system you were beamed to. The question of subjective continuity really is the most important one in all of this and hardly anyone ever touches it. As far as I can tell, the only possibility of how you could digitalize yourself and preserve subjective continuity, would be to make the transition super gradual, basically neuron for neuron. Since the cells in your brain die after a while and get replaced by new ones, perhaps you could use that process. Instead of having your naturally dying brain cells replaced with new ones, you replace them with digital ones, so that after X amount of time, Y amount of your thinking is done on a computer, while the rest remains on your biological brain and slowly, gradually, you move more and more of your brain activity to the computer, without ever making any hard cut. Until after a certain amount of time, all your thinking is done on the computer. Maybe, just maybe that would be a way of doing it. The problem is, you could never really be sure whether it really worked, because your only witness would be the thing that ended up on the computer and that thing would certainly think it is the original and that it did have uninterrupted subjective continuity, but whether that is really true and whether there was death for the original, would be impossible to prove with certainty. And even if it would work, if you really could achieve subjective continuity for the original brain that way, what about everything that happens afterwards? Can you then transfer the consciousness within the computer or within a network of computers and still have subjective continuity for it? Or would it subjectively die every time it gets transferred in some way? What makes it so scary is that there seems no way of ever knowing what happened afterwards, because the only individual that might answer the question may or may not exist anymore. So you can't test it with some brave hero and then correct course if it went wrong. You'd be murdering everyone over and over till the end of time and never even know it. Some people will say it isn't any different now, with our biological bodies. Every 7 years or so, all the cells in your body have been replaced by new ones. Are you still the same person as 7 years ago, or did that person die and you are just a self made biological copy that thinks it is the uninterrupted continuation of that other person, but really isn't? Those questions might be impossible to answer, but I think we should at least think about them and try to answer them, instead of just ignoring them and acting as if the inability to answer the question would automatically make the question irrelevant.

A typical data center will go through hundreds of hard drives a year for example. there is also the issue of bit rot, interference, etc. Unless we develop some super resilient form of data storage that lasts centuries, how can we be sure that the digital information for say, our DNA, stays intact and isn't corrupted after a long journey in space? maybe you could do an episode about this topic, I'd love to see it if it hasn't already been made. Maybe focus on long term data archiving.
