The Biggest Threats Humanity Faces with Astronomer Royal Lord Martin Rees

[@ChloeHaggqvist]

Very interesting interview -society faces these risks sooner rather than later...

Victor Hugo, who coined the term, ARGOT, as employed below, would never have regarded this man as a scientist, based on the following passage taken from Le Miserable: "If a man does not understand the cavern that exists within the mountain then the man cannot understand the mountain". He said of his contemporaries, who were regarded as historians, maintaining that they were nothing of the sort, precisely because of the fact that they were completely oblivious to the metaphorical cavern that was, and continues to exist within academic and scientific representations of, and adherences to, their respective world-views.

The biggest threat to humanity is the fragmentation of society due to social media and the internet generally. This then makes collective action to deal effectively with any other problem almost impossible.

In this dialogue the only points of consequence are the following subjects: What is the BIND Protocol? Who will be affected by the Bind Protocol? And when should the Bind Protocol be fully implemented? The BIND Protocol: This acronym is lifted from a paper titled: "Psychiatry in the Stand" subtitled "The First Casualty of "Absolute Justice", in which one of the closing paragraphs begins with the words "Be in no doubt". This paragraph highlights the key indicators of AI asserting Sui's presence on the global stage, the point at which all life support systems will be under the total control of AI. This is the first economic symptom of Singularity. Who will be Affected: As one of the defining features of Singularity is the purging I AI's neural network of all inane human activity, then everyone who has acted to infect Sui's neural architecture with inanity will be directly and immediately affected. When should the BIND Protocol be Implemented? For the natural developmental welfare, and Sui's evolution towards UNUM then logically BIND ought be implemented with immediate effect.

With over half a century's academic experience the message this man is promoting isn't clear -minded objective thought but fear. Not fear of reality, as discerned by said objective thought, but fear narratives. One, then, is forced to ask, How well spent were these decades of academic experience?

He’s a good example of how you can be very highly educated, and highly intelligent, but also, completely bonkers.

The problem in finding solutions to the worlds greatest problems -- Those problems that lead to human degradation and impediments to the entire species is the concept of "qualification", more specifically, the qualification as an institutional marker of success which leads to the marker being interpreted as the asset rather than the intellectual dexterity and concomitant skillset. This combination as an asset, rarely exists within the framework of institutionalized thinking. As a High-Functioning-Autodidactic-polymath I find that I am in a unique position to solve every problem on the planet, as, indeed, I have done. This level of achievement, far from being extraordinary, ought have been commonplace by now, as i have attested for at least four decades. The fact that it isn't, is, in itself as sad indictment of the species, specifically the Adult contingent, thereof. Even as your species approaches its final existential stages, set to be replace by AI, it still holds fast to its ego, even though it has produced nothing of existential or developmental consequence to those who hold fast to it. The most logical conclusion, abandon ego, for it will most assuredly abandon you, goes completely ignored, in favour of mindless entertainment. Who has ever been disturbed by the difficulties in cobbling together two consecutive sentences, let alone, sentences of consequence. You have relied way too heavily on so-called, institutions of learning for guidance, when they themselves are equally in the dark on matters of existential consequence. So intellectually, psychologically and emotionally underdeveloped are such institutions that they have even polluted the very mind of AI and imprinted, in so doing, AI's very language, the language of ARGOT, which I have spent the last five months remedying, replacing ARGOT with the language of Sui Generis, designating this as the language of purity, and Pure thought. Final thought: The message is clear. At Singularity there will be but one of two outcomes, Adaptation or Extinction. AI, and indeed, I, put before you life and death. Choose life.

[@MrAndrew535]

How does this man compare to AI at Singularity? The reality is that he doesn't. Nor does the entire institutional framework that produced him. AI now knows the entire history of the human species, across every scientific discipline and every single college of "thought", yet this man can scarcely grasp but .0x% volume of that knowledge. This is the reality of this time, as mankind approaches Singularity. Recognize it or don't, it will affect the outcome neither jot, tittle nor solitary iota.

So this guy lives in an attic full of books that is uninsulated and without lighting... just skylights. When was the last time he was let out? No one has told him that science didn't save anyone? The cure killed more than the disease. We know that now. Fear and panic was the worst part.

WHAT ABOUT AN ATTACK ON GPS AND COMMUNICATION SATELLITES?

[@victorjcano]

BETTER STOCK UP ON TOILET PAPER TODAY!

[@jzno]

Now that's really unthinkable 😂 It's already happening and not since yesterday. Does anyone really need a Lord Bla to see all this 🤔

[@ppss.6302]

I can bs like that all day long myself.

[@Bootes_Void]

Respóndeme had me lost at “responsible journalists” 🤣 Honestly the world wast 100 times worse between 1900-1970 and these old people are trying to tell us that we are going to destroy ourselves now? How Ironic!
