Why the Future Will Be Weird with Isaac Arthur

One of the strangest things about the future is that, in 100 years, your great great grandchildren will be able to look on web archives and see photos of you making out with some random guy/girl in college and know the exact date, time, and place that occurred. Compare that to a discussion I just had with my mom about her grand parents, she didn't even know their names.

[@gacattack1234]

@@IkeReviews by firewalling it? Lol... Garbage in garbage out. Your analytical mind is perfect the subconscious mind is filled with unconfrontable trauma that is the problem. You are not your minds. You will have many lives no matter you make a copy or not. Your copy will feel nothing it will be AI the moment it is created. You'll take the original when you go, but we reincarnate mostly unconscious of our past because of disconnecting trauma at birth and death. Our only hope is to uncover the trauma that has fractured our analytical and bring it in to view and let the trauma discharge.

@@gacattack1234 not like a copy I mean true virtualization. That's the primitive version. I know I lived before on another planet. They were able to completely digitize themselves and transcend the simulation.

[@tristanbackup2536]

"Infinity is the biggest crossover yet." John* "Hold my math & science notebook" 18:25. I think when it comes to sci-fi now. I think we should dive more into extra-dimensional & paranormal stuff in a scientific sense. A really good game of late I have been playing is called "Control", it uses fantasy elements into sci-fi, not making it overpowering & ridculas but making it where it is govern by the laws of physics we yet to discover. In that game you play as a psychic who has strong telepathic powers trying to stop an interdimesional demonic threat called the Hiss.

[@brinehound]

Fantastic episode. These two minds are to be cherished

If I had 500 years to spend reading, I'd read Stephen King's The Stand. Just kidding, but I would love to blow 500 years on just reading and research.

Personally, I happen to think that assuming there will be super intelligent AI in the future is premature. I happen to believe there is something we're missing about cognition and sapience that will take a very long time to resolve and fully understand.

[@EksaStelmere]

My personal favourite explanation for the Fermi Paradox is super-conductive, low-heat emission meat-machine slime-bones. So efficient that the mere act of standing on an asteroid is enough to derive nutrition. I say nutrition because the slime-bones' technology is basically on the level of biology and looking at it would never give one the mental image of what we puny apes think is a machine. So yes, so efficient (and possibly so slow) that any heat they emit could not possibly escape that of any stars. In-between stars? No problem, they don't pump out much more heat than natural rocks. Can we detect them? Sure, but the temperature differences are easily explained away that no one ever knew they were there. Oh, right... I guess it's not much of a Fermi Paradox solution because they've been colonizing our Solar System for the past 80 million years, we just haven't picked up on them yet. Don't worry, we have quite a few million years left because they're still colonizing the Scattered Disc.

6:12 I'm 50 years and 7 months old, I was born late 1971, I have a lot of memories from my 3.5; 4; 5; 6 and 7 years. In kindergarten; playing in my "neighborhood" with my neighbors (in France, Paris); tv shows; the games with my older sister, etc. I started to forget my memory, from before I was 3 and a half years old (in the Caribbean raised by an aunt) when I didn't live with my parents, around 5 years old.

I'm sure I've heard Michio Kaku talk about the success of extracting memories from mice and then reinserting them. He said mice were taught how to complete a maze, forgot the solution when the memory was extracted but then remembered once it was reinserted. Then Michio went on to speak about the possibilities of this for humans, such as helping people with alzheimer's remember stuff. He called it a pacemaker for the brain. Of course from mice to humans is a massive jump.

Another top chat. Many thanks! And how great to hear that Isaac is a Blake's 7 fan. The wobbly sets and Paul Darrow as Kerr Avon combine to make it essential viewing. Some of our best 70s British sci-fi (along with Space: 1999, which Isaac might also like). There's also a range of really good Blake's 7 enhanced audio books with the original cast. They're on Napster so might be on other streaming services.
