Much power that we will change ourselves using various Technologies uh so that our descendants will no longer be Homo sapiens like us they will be more different from us than we are different from neanderthals because once you can hack something you can usually also engineer it Elites hacking organisms and
Re-engineering life itself well he’s not talking about doing that to people you see now in the past many tyrants and governments wanted to do it but nobody understood biology well enough and nobody had enough computing power in data to hack millions of people neither of the Gestapo nor the KGB could do it
But soon at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack all the people I guess he was talking about doing that to people all people to be specific and if indeed we succeed in hacking and Engineering life this will be being not just the greatest revolution in the
History of humanity this will be the greatest revolution in biology since the very beginning of Life 4 billion years ago for 4 billion years nothing fundamental changed not playing God are you because that usually works out super well science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design not the intelligent
Design of some God above the clouds evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design not the intelligent design of some God above the clouds but our intelligent design and the intelligent design of our clouds the IBM Cloud the Microsoft cloud these are the new driving forces of evolution gosh
You wouldn’t by chance have a plan in place on how to control people with your Cloud technology would you in that plan isn’t by chance already being implemented is it now with especially in the rise of brain computer interfaces and biometric sensors and so forth it is
Very likely that within say 50 years people will literally be part of a network all the bodies all the brains would be connected together to a network and you won’t be able to survive if you’re disconnected from the net because your own body parts your own immune system perhaps depends on being
Constantly connected to the colony to the network the new powers that we are gaining now especially the powers of biotechnology and artificial intelligence are really going to transform us into gods and I don’t mean this as a kind of literary metaphor I mean it in a lit in in its literal sense
That humans are acquiring Divine abilities especially the ability to create and to design life start combining organic and inorganic stuff so direct brain computer interfaces replacing organic hand with bionic hands are adding to the body a second immune system which is not organic but an inorganic immune system made off of
Millions of time in Europe tiny Nano robots inside your body that diagnose cancer and then eliminates all kinds of diseases and so forth so I can tell you what sapiens like us would like to do with things like bioengineering or direct brain computer interfaces they would like to extend
Their life spans to be more healthy to be more beautiful and so forth and so on but once you change the basic parameters of of the human brain and of the human mind five absolutely no idea what the new kind of entities would like to do
With these Technologies I mean so far in history what we have seen is humans just like us changing the world outside them so they cut down forests they build Bridges they they build factories all kinds of things but the real change now is that we are gaining the ability to
Start re-engineering not the world outside us but the world inside us but you still the the main command and control center is still your organic brain which is connected to all kinds of devices or computers can serve the internet whatever so I want to talk to you today about the future
Of our species and really the future of life we are probably one of the last generations of homo sapiens within a century or Two Earths will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from neanderthals or from chimpanzees because in the coming Generations we
Will learn how to engineer bodies and brains and Minds this will be the main products of the economy of the 21st century economy not textiles and vehicles and weapons but bodies and brains and Minds now how exactly will the future masters of the planet look like
This will be decided by the people who own the data those who control the data control the future not just of humanity but the future of life itself now why is data so important it’s important because we’ve reached the point when we can hack not just computers we can hack human beings and
Other organisms now what do you need in order to hack a human being you need two things you need a lot of computing power and you need a lot of data especially biometric data not data about what I buy or where I go but data about what is
Happening inside my body and inside my brain as you surf the Internet as you watch videos or check your social feed the algorithms will be monitoring your eye movements your blood pressure your brain activity and they will know you wouldn’t even know that this was happening but they will know and this
Information will be worth billions once you can hack something you can usually also engineer it science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design not the intelligent design of some guard Above the Clouds but our intelligent design the ownership of data is so
Important if we don’t regulate it a tiny Elite may come to control not just the future of human societies but the shape of life forms in the future I mean we’re about to live in an era where algorithms can know you better than you know yourself but also
In an era where a lot of people don’t even know themselves at all so how’s that going to work because it’s crazy to see people walking around just having their buttons pressed left and right about things that literally don’t affect their lives at all at all
The example I remember from a while a little while back here was the Britney Spears thing most of the people I heard talking about it you could tell they don’t give two cares about Miss Spears in her life but they sure were expending just copious amounts of energy just talking
All about it like it was really meaningful to them even though I don’t did they even stop to ask themselves if any of those thoughts or feelings originated with them I don’t know that they did they’re just walking around and they’re just regurgitating talking points it’s it’s creepy
I don’t even think after 9 11 I saw this level that things are at now with that it’s uh this is
