1 00:00:13,810 --> 00:00:11,270 I thought it was actually really fun it 2 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:13,820 was interesting Steve Bassett ran it he 3 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,880 moderated instead of directed it and it 4 00:00:23,170 --> 00:00:19,680 was primarily people from the audience 5 00:00:26,210 --> 00:00:23,180 asking questions so it was interesting 6 00:00:28,670 --> 00:00:26,220 we didn't really get into the the idea 7 00:00:31,009 --> 00:00:28,680 of a post to disclosure or world because 8 00:00:32,810 --> 00:00:31,019 it was essentially answering questions 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:32,820 from the audience but most of the 10 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:34,730 questions are pretty on point and 11 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:37,170 interesting in their own way so I had 12 00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:40,770 fun it's a really interesting structure 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:43,020 he did everything the audience asked off 14 00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,090 questions right and those were some of 15 00:00:50,029 --> 00:00:47,280 the most concise questions I heard on a 16 00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:50,039 topic of disclosure at any like UFO 17 00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:52,020 conference I'd been to so yeah that was 18 00:00:53,779 --> 00:00:52,440 great 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:53,789 how does some very highly discern any 20 00:00:56,779 --> 00:00:55,410 questions one of the last ones I thought 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:56,789 stood out with me which was the 22 00:00:59,930 --> 00:00:58,410 gentleman who said look how do we really 23 00:01:01,849 --> 00:00:59,940 know what the intentions of these other 24 00:01:04,189 --> 00:01:01,859 beings are even if we if we're told 25 00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:04,199 they're good or how does the government 26 00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:06,360 know what their intentions are and how 27 00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:08,310 do we how do we ever get to a point 28 00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:10,740 where we can understand one way or the 29 00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:13,080 other you know I think there was a lot 30 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:15,390 of very thoughtful people on this whole 31 00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:17,610 issue and I'm trying to think of some of 32 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:18,750 the other can you think of some of them 33 00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:21,360 Mike Mike rates no passing out at the 34 00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:23,119 moment I completely I'm with you it was 35 00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:27,630 but there were you know some of the 36 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:31,590 issues about what one was on Antarctica 37 00:01:34,490 --> 00:01:33,570 I haven't 38 00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:34,500 it's interesting I didn't actually 39 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:36,540 address that one directly but Antarctica 40 00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:39,210 is one of those things that I did not 41 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:41,310 give a lot of time and thought to over 42 00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:42,690 the years but recently I've come to 43 00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:44,520 think maybe there's something to some of 44 00:01:48,859 --> 00:01:47,220 these leaks about in our field so 45 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:48,869 there's a lot of interesting questions 46 00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:53,130 that came up and I enjoyed being on in 47 00:01:56,630 --> 00:01:54,420 fact I should remember them all because 48 00:01:58,609 --> 00:01:56,640 like I did the majority of it Hawking 49 00:02:00,770 --> 00:01:58,619 well you know what I thought it was 50 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:00,780 really cool too was that it kind of led 51 00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:02,910 into a lot of their topics you're gonna 52 00:02:07,609 --> 00:02:04,229 be talking about at your actual 53 00:02:10,460 --> 00:02:07,619 presentation right well I and all that 54 00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:10,470 oh yeah about what we talked about 55 00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:12,750 absolutely well you just made me realize 56 00:02:17,540 --> 00:02:15,750 one of the questions was you know if 57 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:17,550 we're thinking of UFO disclosure it's 58 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:19,200 not like that concurs in a vacuum there 59 00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:20,610 are other important things going on in 60 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:22,320 this world in relating to the global 61 00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:24,650 environment in relating relation to 62 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:27,470 technology changes in relation to our 63 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:29,210 transformation of the global 64 00:02:33,460 --> 00:02:31,370 an economic and financial situation all 65 00:02:35,770 --> 00:02:33,470 of these things are happening very very 66 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:35,780 powerfully right now and any kind of 67 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:37,730 disclosure on the UFO reality occurs 68 00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:40,130 within that context and that does lead 69 00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:41,750 me to the talk that I'm going to be 70 00:02:47,290 --> 00:02:44,630 giving at about 20 minutes on it's not 71 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:47,300 related to the UFO issue directly it's 72 00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:49,280 on artificial intelligence and 73 00:02:54,850 --> 00:02:52,120 transhumanism which has been one of the 74 00:02:56,890 --> 00:02:54,860 issues that have gotten into been 75 00:02:59,650 --> 00:02:56,900 interesting for a while but particularly 76 00:03:02,410 --> 00:02:59,660 this year and I simply want to talk 77 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:02,420 about how there is a definite utopian 78 00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:05,110 element to a lot of the transhumanist 79 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:08,750 ideology these individuals who you know 80 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:10,730 they're looking at not just artificial 81 00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:12,410 intelligence with genetic modification 82 00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:15,620 gene therapy and talking like you're 83 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:17,240 going to be able to live forever or 84 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:19,010 you'll be able to live at least not if 85 00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:20,570 not forever than for many hundreds of 86 00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:24,200 years without getting sick or or in very 87 00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:26,160 excellent health and so forth 88 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:28,020 that's all very seductive and very nice 89 00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:29,730 but transhumanism doesn't stop there 90 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:33,900 it's really about the creation of like a 91 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:36,770 super human species in the future and 92 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:39,360 transhumanists absolutely believe us 93 00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:41,610 many of them have 94 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:44,260 the Autopia nism is something that I'm 95 00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:46,870 familiar with in the UFO community was a 96 00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:49,900 very strong utopian element there we 97 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:51,489 only have disclosure that will solve all 98 00:03:56,490 --> 00:03:53,530 the world's problems or if the Galactic 99 00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,500 Brotherhood or Federation were to bring 100 00:04:01,259 --> 00:03:59,200 us into the next spiritual awakening 101 00:04:03,059 --> 00:04:01,269 that our society will be better than you 102 00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:03,069 know these are let's fix all of 103 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:05,550 humanity's problems type 104 00:04:11,090 --> 00:04:07,770 the allergies and in transhumanism 105 00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:11,100 there's a similar utopian strain going 106 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:13,350 on here it says if if we only were to 107 00:04:18,380 --> 00:04:15,330 make ourselves smarter and stronger and 108 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:18,390 live longer well you know we'll all be 109 00:04:21,949 --> 00:04:19,650 happy and we'll solve all of our 110 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:21,959 problems and the computers will fix all 111 00:04:25,790 --> 00:04:23,610 the problems that we're not able to 112 00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:25,800 solve and something tells me that 113 00:04:31,270 --> 00:04:27,600 there's this whole thing I think about 114 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:31,280 call the law of unintended consequences 115 00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:32,930 I think of Jeff Goldblum's character in 116 00:04:37,209 --> 00:04:35,840 Jurassic Park if he said was it because 117 00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:37,219 you can do something doesn't mean you 118 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:41,449 should and one of the great lines in any 119 00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:44,330 movie and I believe that that's what 120 00:04:48,189 --> 00:04:46,310 we're looking at with this transhumanism 121 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:48,199 I think that we're transforming 122 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,330 ourselves so radically that there's 123 00:04:57,129 --> 00:04:52,639 going to be some very disruptive and 124 00:04:59,129 --> 00:04:57,139 probably dangerous consequences I can't 125 00:05:02,730 --> 00:04:59,139 pretend I know them all but I think 126 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:02,740 I'm very much not one of the Immortals I 127 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:04,810 don't believe it people should live 128 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:05,289 forever 129 00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:07,770 I think that 130 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:09,780 really have genuine change in our world 131 00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:11,490 because the new generation 132 00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:14,260 come on 133 00:05:18,930 --> 00:05:16,720 I am NOT a believer that most people 134 00:05:22,050 --> 00:05:18,940 really think different he was a village 135 00:05:26,630 --> 00:05:22,060 he's very well but it's new generations 136 00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:30,090 unlike anything well oh yeah well and 137 00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:33,420 also just the thing is that we are 138 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:36,270 transforming ourselves even even without 139 00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:38,730 trying to go pedal to the metal with 140 00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:42,580 gene therapy or cognitive implants or 141 00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:45,160 whatever else we have been transforming 142 00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:47,590 ourselves in past 10,000 years simply 143 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:50,200 due to sedentary agriculture and we're 144 00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:53,680 not the same version of the species that 145 00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:55,510 even our forebears were 10,000 years ago 146 00:06:02,010 --> 00:05:58,450 but even now our partner state of 147 00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:02,020 civilization is is ramping things up to 148 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:04,390 a much greater degree so we're we're 149 00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:08,050 changing and it's a kind of non 150 00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:10,630 self-directed evolution but it is an 151 00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:13,060 evolutionary process that is driven by 152 00:06:18,159 --> 00:06:16,710 our civilization and what 153 00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:18,169 taking that and 154 00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:20,270 and really going 155 00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:24,260 with great focus and direction one thing 156 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:27,950 that I think we can definitely say that 157 00:06:32,159 --> 00:06:30,020 is going to be a problem is the total 158 00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:32,169 loss of privacy 159 00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:33,580 in the near future what we're dealing 160 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:35,860 with is the 161 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:38,050 I mean we think privacy is done now but 162 00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:40,800 compared even with 10 20 years ago 163 00:06:47,530 --> 00:06:43,409 we'll look back on this time as an era 164 00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:47,540 of great relative privacy because 165 00:06:52,570 --> 00:06:50,240 in an era of coming 5g technology 166 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:52,580 Internet of Things where everything can 167 00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:54,650 talk to each other and where all day 168 00:06:58,180 --> 00:06:56,360 that was being siphoned out of your 169 00:07:00,850 --> 00:06:58,190 refrigerator your stove your toaster 170 00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:00,860 your your car and everything else there 171 00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:02,390 is no place where you'll ever be able to 172 00:07:07,870 --> 00:07:05,060 go where you will have any semblance of 173 00:07:11,350 --> 00:07:07,880 privacy and where the data about your 174 00:07:14,770 --> 00:07:11,360 entire life will be siphoned abused for 175 00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:14,780 the benefit of organizations that know 176 00:07:17,830 --> 00:07:16,430 how to make use of it you'll be able to 177 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:17,840 put together a better personality 178 00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:20,810 profile of you than you can and much 179 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:21,320 much more 180 00:07:28,060 --> 00:07:25,280 so there's privacy is going to be so 181 00:07:29,740 --> 00:07:28,070 completely gone and what that will do to 182 00:07:31,210 --> 00:07:29,750 our society with that we do to our 183 00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:31,220 personalities it's a good question to 184 00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:34,520 ask because in an era of no privacy 185 00:07:38,830 --> 00:07:35,960 it seems to me that we're in danger of 186 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:38,840 developing as most i've mentality to a 187 00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:41,370 far greater oriental ever imagine 188 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:43,860 because if there's no privacy people are 189 00:07:50,210 --> 00:07:45,410 going to be less and less inclined to 190 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:50,220 speak up speak up their own mind and I 191 00:07:55,719 --> 00:07:51,889 think we're moving toward 192 00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:55,729 a very great informative which is 193 00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:56,940 terrifying 194 00:08:02,600 --> 00:07:59,520 but extremely fascinating and we can 195 00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:02,610 only sort of appropriate with knowledge 196 00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:04,920 yeah and but a lot of people I think 197 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:06,630 will be perfectly cool with it because 198 00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:07,890 they'll be able to live in their total 199 00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:09,600 immersive virtual reality environments 200 00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:10,980 where they can be celebrity millionaires 201 00:08:15,710 --> 00:08:13,590 and have that whole thing happening so 202 00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:15,720 even in a world where there's there's 203 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:19,860 nothing genuinely nothing deep to offer 204 00:08:23,390 --> 00:08:22,050 a lot of people know
