00:01:02.240 And thanks for standing, Willis.

00:01:03.500 Now let's get to work.

00:01:04.620 I'm sitting here on stage 19 all by myself, usually for a podcast.

00:01:09.420 I've brought in a guest.

00:01:10.940 We're going to talk about something.

00:01:12.100 But I wanted today to just talk to you one-on-one.

00:01:16.220 I am working on some things and investigating AI.

00:01:25.160 And this is something that I have worried and cautioned you about for almost three decades now.

00:01:33.920 Seeing it come over the horizon.

00:01:36.480 And as Elon Musk says, we are now at the event horizon of the singularity, which means you're not going to stop what's coming.

00:01:44.140 We are now in this place where just the gravity of the technology is going to pull us in.

00:01:49.560 And we cannot avoid that.

00:01:52.860 And we can't avoid using AI because what is happening soon, as everyone you know will understand soon, it is going to be one of the most miraculous and incredible technology.

00:02:06.980 We are living, we're so blessed to be living right now.

00:02:10.980 But as I am working with some really brilliant minds, I am filled with ethical questions.

00:02:18.920 And I've been keeping a journal and all of these questions, they have to be asked by each of us.

00:02:26.620 And so I wanted to do something just, I want to ask you, set aside your distractions, stop your notifications, turn off your screen.

00:02:36.160 And, you know, the device that will think for you and listen, just turn on your ears, turn on your heart and turn on your soul and really hear what I want to talk to you about today.

00:02:50.140 Because we're in this one together and it's going to be a personal journey for each of us.

00:02:55.880 I know I want to talk about AI, but I think we need to talk first about God and not the gods of, you know, the ancient myths or even the pleasant God of Sunday school

00:03:04.100 or the God we use as a tool to win an argument, win an election, sell books, gain unearned trust.

00:03:13.280 Not the subjective God of our own creation or the God that we would all like him to be.

00:03:20.160 I want to talk to you about the objective God.

00:03:23.420 I've always said that if God exists, he is the greatest scientist.

00:03:29.000 He is the greatest mathematician.

00:03:31.580 That's who God is.

00:03:33.500 God is a God of reason and who is precision.

00:03:38.160 But he also is many other things.

00:03:40.920 But I want to focus on the precision of the watchmaker.

00:03:45.980 Think of a watch.

00:03:47.000 You know, maybe your grandfather had a pocket watch or this is a watch that's 60 years old.

00:03:55.120 And it is just a, it's precision.

00:03:58.760 It's beautifully crafted.

00:04:00.560 It's finely tuned.

00:04:02.680 And everything is in its place.

00:04:06.180 Imagine the precision of each single tiny little gear.

00:04:11.020 The meticulous placement of the springs.

00:04:14.700 The perfect alignment of the hand sweeping across the face.

00:04:18.240 There are watches now that are made by hand that take one person a year to make.

00:04:25.700 This, just this watch, didn't just happen.

00:04:29.100 It's just like I put a bunch of stuff in a box, shook it up, and boy, look at this watch.

00:04:33.280 It requires a designer.

00:04:35.560 It requires intellect, a mind, an architect.

00:04:38.920 Now, a watch is complex, but not compared to the universe.

00:04:43.960 Now, let's look at the universe.

00:04:45.980 The vast, endless cosmos that is above us.

00:04:50.220 Our Earth is spinning just fast enough to generate a stable atmosphere, but not so fast that we are flung out into space.

00:04:59.000 Our moon is positioned so perfectly that it stabilizes our planet's axis, our tides, even the tides within our own bodies.

00:05:08.300 And our own bodies are miracles.

00:05:10.220 The way we regulate temperature, the way it heals wounds, experiences love.

00:05:15.620 That's a biochemical cocktail that is so exact that even the most advanced neuroscience cannot fully explain how all of this works.

00:05:26.900 Just love, even.

00:05:30.560 And in the world, we are told this is an accident.

00:05:34.220 Now, you believe whatever you want about God, but this is where they lose me, because randomness does not create order.

00:05:44.060 It goes the other way.

00:05:46.500 Randomness creates chaos.

00:05:48.420 It doesn't build watches.

00:05:49.900 It doesn't write a symphony.

00:05:51.460 It doesn't paint the ceiling of a Sistine Chapel or send a man to the moon.

00:05:55.100 It's not random.

00:05:56.000 Randomness is what happens when a child spills a bucket of Legos.

00:06:01.620 Never does your child spill a bucket of Legos and you're like, oh my gosh, look, he spilled it and it all just assembled itself into the Eiffel Tower.

00:06:10.120 It doesn't.

00:06:11.920 Everything was created first here.

00:06:16.020 Everything was created by a creator.

00:06:19.160 And so we arrive at our first critical question.

00:06:24.340 And it's not does God exist, but rather, honestly, how could he not?

00:06:32.260 There's a law in science and it's an inescapable rule.

00:06:36.680 It's called entropy.

00:06:39.120 Entropy is what happens when you put a cup of hot coffee down and you leave it there.

00:06:44.920 It gets cold when it's left alone.

00:06:46.960 Your house falls apart if you don't maintain it.

00:06:50.420 Okay.

00:06:51.040 It's why a new car will rust.

00:06:52.780 A candle will burn down.

00:06:54.260 A civilization will crumble.

00:06:56.020 Entropy states that everything moves from order to disorder.

00:07:01.820 Everything decays.

00:07:03.260 Everything dies.

00:07:04.560 That's the way the universe is set up.

00:07:06.940 You don't wake up one morning to find your old broken down Chevy.

00:07:11.060 Look at that.

00:07:11.620 It's now a Tesla.

00:07:13.980 It's an electric car.

00:07:15.080 You didn't leave a pile of scrap metal in your backyard and come out and go, oh, my gosh, it's a skyscraper or or even a tin shed.

00:07:24.420 It doesn't do that.

00:07:25.520 Yet people want you to believe that this is exactly how the universe happened.

00:07:32.760 That somehow, in violation of the very laws of physics, in defiance of observable reality, something exploded out of nothing.

00:07:42.700 There was no one there lighting the match.

00:07:44.820 Nothing came before it.

00:07:45.860 It just boom.

00:07:46.940 And then chaos arranged itself into order.

00:07:51.240 The stars aligned themselves.

00:07:53.040 The earth formed itself, tilted itself at just the right angle.

00:07:57.060 Water appeared.

00:07:58.000 Life crawled from the sea, developed a consciousness, and ultimately became us, who are now capable of questioning the very process that led to our existence.

00:08:07.840 And that doesn't make sense.

00:08:09.100 I don't think it's reasonable.

00:08:10.200 I think that is wishful thinking disguised as reason.

00:08:15.360 Look, you're going to figure out here in a minute why I'm why this is so important.

00:08:20.620 But these questions have to be answered by each of us now before we hit the singularity, which is probably by the end of this term or early into the next term of our next president.

00:08:33.760 Now, faith isn't rational.

00:08:35.980 That's what some will say.

00:08:36.920 You can't prove it.

00:08:37.880 Right, well, you can't really prove the theory of relativity either.

00:08:41.660 It's a theory.

00:08:43.060 You can't prove it.

00:08:44.120 You can observe it in the world around you.

00:08:46.680 And like God, you can see the effects of relativity and make a reasonable assertion that, yep, that's probably true.

00:08:54.420 But you don't really know and can't prove it.

00:08:57.880 The fine-tuning of the universe is what always gets me.

00:09:01.100 It is so exact that physicists now describe it with terms like impossible, miraculous.

00:09:09.320 Why?

00:09:09.680 The odds of our universe being in a box or a bucket of Legos and then just spilling out and forming the way it does, the way it allows for life, are so astronomical that they are effectively zero.

00:09:24.220 Let's just look at the force of gravity.

00:09:27.600 It is so precisely balanced that if we altered it by just one part in 10 of the 40th power, the universe as we know it would be uninhabitable.

00:09:40.140 That's a 1 followed by 40-0.

00:09:45.040 The odds, they are so small it makes winning the lottery look like a guarantee.

00:09:51.680 The expansion rate of the universe is so exact that if it varied by one part in 10 to the 55th power, 10 and 55 zeros, the cosmos would either collapse on itself or expand so rapidly no galaxy would form.

00:10:11.220 The probability of one functional protein, just one, a functional protein forming by chance is roughly 1 in 10 to the 164th power.

00:10:27.700 So, you know, there are only about 10 to the 80th power atoms in the entire observable universe.

00:10:36.040 That's not chance.

00:10:37.820 There's no way that's happening.

00:10:39.360 That is design.

00:10:43.600 But here's where we get really arrogant.

00:10:47.200 We no longer look up at the sky and say, my God, what a masterpiece.

00:10:54.440 We instead flippantly say, we can do better.

00:10:59.460 Enter artificial intelligence.

00:11:02.620 Give me one minute and we're going to get right back into it.

00:11:05.500 The perils of AI and the glories of it.

00:11:08.020 First of all, let me show you some of the ways that it's going to be very, very helpful.

00:11:13.020 Medicare costs are a silent feat.

00:11:15.580 The thief.

00:11:16.360 Thousands of your dollars just vanish if you pick the wrong plan.

00:11:19.720 I didn't know this.

00:11:20.960 There are a lot of Americans who, you know, are taken by these slick advertisers and these insurance that are going to help you along the way make the right decision.

00:11:32.680 You'll only find out later that things like co-pays are now bleeding you dry.

00:11:37.900 And if you pick the wrong path, and many times you cannot ever go back.

00:11:44.980 Chapter is a different way to select Medicare.

00:11:49.640 I've met with these people personally, and I know that they founded the entire company specifically because their own parents got taken with terrible Medicare programs.

00:12:01.380 Abused is not the nicest word, but it's not a strong enough word for what is happening to people that cannot figure out what's going on because the government has made it so complex.

00:12:12.360 And then the insurance companies don't want you in the plans that are going to cost them money.

00:12:17.480 They want you in the plans that are going to make you pay money to them.

00:12:21.600 They didn't want that to happen to anybody else's parents, and they were in high, high, high, high tech.

00:12:27.300 Well, at Chapter, they won't just guide you.

00:12:30.520 They'll talk to you, listen to you, see what you need.

00:12:33.240 And then they'll search every plan from every carrier with technology that is so sharp it will cut through all of the noise.

00:12:40.460 These are licensed advisors that don't have any hidden agendas.

00:12:45.420 Nobody's paid a commission for what they jam you into.

00:12:48.980 Other Medicare advisors might cherry-pick plans that pad their pockets.

00:12:53.280 Chapter puts you first.

00:12:55.500 I want you to dial pound 250, say the keyword chapter.

00:12:58.060 If anybody in your life, maybe it's you, maybe it's your parents, if they're getting into Medicare, you need to hit pound 250, say the keyword chapter.

00:13:06.300 Or you can go to askchapter.org slash back.

00:13:09.280 We have one chance at this.

00:13:11.660 You need to make it count.

00:13:13.400 Chapter's your move for anything related to Medicare.

00:13:16.700 Pound 250, keyword chapter.

00:13:18.980 Askchapter.org slash back.

00:13:22.180 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:13:24.360 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:13:26.880 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:13:32.760 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.

00:13:38.240 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:13:43.060 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:13:46.500 But you got there on time.

00:13:48.360 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.

00:13:50.980 Certain conditions apply.

00:13:51.900 Okay.

00:13:57.780 We're at AI.

00:14:00.040 AI is something that I have warned about since the 90s, when nobody was talking about AI.

00:14:08.320 When everybody thought, and parts of me thought, this can never happen.

00:14:13.360 That will never happen.

00:14:16.120 When I had somebody like Ray Kurzweil, one of the greatest minds on Earth on AI, and the head of the Singularity University,

00:14:23.880 when he said to me in, I don't know, 2005, 2007, Glenn,

00:14:27.200 just live until 2030, because then there will be no death.

00:14:32.480 It bothered me, because he doesn't believe in a soul.

00:14:36.360 He just believes in the calculations of our brain.

00:14:39.200 That's what makes a life a life.

00:14:42.440 I disagree with that.

00:14:43.460 So, the questions surrounding artificial intelligence seem so out there, so futuristic.

00:14:51.660 It's hard to imagine that our ancestors ever dealt with anything like this.

00:14:56.800 And in some ways, they didn't.

00:14:58.360 We're the first humans to have what's just ahead of us, ahead of us.

00:15:03.060 Except, there is something in us, that's built in us, that warns us, that we've been trying to understand.

00:15:16.200 And they're all the deeper issues of AI, long before AI existed.

00:15:21.340 When electricity first started, Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, wrestled what it meant with,

00:15:29.180 because they were zapping electricity and frogs, and frogs were moving, and they didn't know,

00:15:34.280 is that life? Can we bring it back to life?

00:15:35.980 That's why she wrote Frankenstein. 1.00

00:15:40.800 She might have also been inspired by an even older story,

00:15:44.520 one that dates back to a rabbi in the 1500s.

00:15:48.000 This one is according to Jewish folklore.

00:15:51.800 This rabbi created his own Frankenstein, called him a golem. 1.00

00:15:55.820 Now, in Hebrew, golem appears only one time in the Bible, in Psalms,

00:16:01.380 and it references an unformed state of man.

00:16:05.600 It literally translates to shapeless mass.

00:16:10.120 Now, some Jewish texts suggest that Adam was a golem,

00:16:13.820 unformed until he was given a soul, the breath of God.

00:16:18.560 The idea was that man, without the spark of God inside of him,

00:16:23.040 was unformed, a golem. 0.83

00:16:24.780 Now, this story, which the Nazis, or at least the Germans,

00:16:29.560 made into a movie right before World War II,

00:16:34.380 it's an odd film.

00:16:37.400 The story that goes with this rabbi in Prague,

00:16:41.480 he creates a golem to protect the Jewish community 0.99

00:16:44.060 from anti-Semitic attacks against them.

00:16:47.460 And at first it works,

00:16:48.800 But then, golem was created by shaping dirt together 0.85

00:16:52.560 and then speaking incantations over it, like code,

00:16:56.180 to bring it to life.

00:16:57.980 As a golem was created almost human, but not quite. 0.98

00:17:04.640 It can't speak.

00:17:06.380 It was kind of like a big baby,

00:17:08.320 but it was also much, much, much stronger

00:17:10.440 than anyone could have imagined,

00:17:13.300 and incredibly helpful.

00:17:16.760 The golem was a symbol of strength, protection,

00:17:20.080 and even the provisions of God.

00:17:23.080 But like Dr. Frankenstein,

00:17:25.180 the people lost control of the golem. 0.71

00:17:27.820 It became too powerful,

00:17:29.040 and it started wrecking everything.

00:17:30.640 Then the question was,

00:17:33.020 can we put the golem back into the box? 0.86

00:17:36.060 And if you could get rid of it,

00:17:38.200 then who would step up and do all the important work

00:17:40.320 that the golem had been doing 0.99

00:17:41.940 before it got so powerful?

00:17:45.100 These are exactly the same questions

00:17:47.460 that we are or should be asking ourselves today about AI.

00:17:53.040 If we make it,

00:17:54.940 can we control it?

00:17:56.140 And by the way,

00:17:56.980 the if is already out of the box.

00:17:59.160 We are making it right now.

00:18:02.200 The only part of that question that remains is,

00:18:04.480 can we control it?

00:18:05.760 And if we can't control it,

00:18:07.740 will it control us?

00:18:09.560 Right now, it's a tool.

00:18:11.220 It's like a shovel.

00:18:12.620 I've never been used by a shovel as its tool,

00:18:18.260 but that's where we're headed.

00:18:20.740 If we don't have clear understanding

00:18:22.800 that that is a tool that we made,

00:18:25.640 it will use us as a tool.

00:18:32.100 If we can manage to stop it,

00:18:34.780 what do we do without it?

00:18:37.240 Now, some legends say

00:18:38.640 the golem would be brought to life 1.00

00:18:40.520 by the writing of the Hebrew word truth

00:18:43.440 on the forehead.

00:18:45.620 Interestingly,

00:18:46.540 if only one letter were erased,

00:18:48.860 it became the Hebrew word for death.

00:18:51.460 The risk was,

00:18:53.840 at any time,

00:18:55.020 the creature they made for truth

00:18:56.960 would become the creature made for death.

00:19:01.080 Another method for creating a golem 1.00

00:19:03.960 was to write the name of God

00:19:06.280 on a piece of paper 0.96

00:19:07.240 and put it in the golem's mouth. 1.00

00:19:09.340 To kill it, 0.99

00:19:10.080 you just had to remove the paper.

00:19:11.980 The absence of God,

00:19:14.260 just in the paper form,

00:19:15.660 was the kill switch for the golem. 0.84

00:19:17.980 If you could catch it

00:19:20.040 and get your hands into its giant mouth 0.99

00:19:22.460 and get the paper out.

00:19:24.340 Now, I suppose with AI,

00:19:27.020 it's not even going to be that easy.

00:19:29.820 But what's interesting about the golem 0.98

00:19:31.720 is he's not a villain.

00:19:34.160 In fact,

00:19:34.760 the golem was a savior

00:19:35.800 for the vulnerable people,

00:19:37.700 for the people living

00:19:38.980 in the Jewish ghetto of Prague.

00:19:40.880 The story of the golem 0.99

00:19:42.400 was about having a protector.

00:19:44.780 It's even said

00:19:45.540 that the golem 0.99

00:19:46.080 was never fully decommissioned.

00:19:48.300 It's waiting to be brought back to life

00:19:50.240 somewhere in the attic

00:19:51.160 of an old synagogue.

00:19:53.520 All of that, of course,

00:19:54.780 is symbolic of human nature.

00:19:57.940 We like to have an edge

00:19:59.300 over bad actors.

00:20:01.560 That's why we never

00:20:02.600 fully decommissioned the golem 0.87

00:20:04.720 and why no one

00:20:05.740 is going to stop

00:20:06.540 advancing AI technology,

00:20:08.240 even with all of the risks.

00:20:11.400 So, one of the questions

00:20:12.740 we have to ask,

00:20:14.000 are we doomed

00:20:15.080 to create a monster

00:20:16.360 that overtakes us?

00:20:19.060 I hope not.

00:20:20.060 I don't think so.

00:20:21.580 But I don't know.

00:20:22.680 I really don't know.

00:20:25.080 But what I do know

00:20:26.160 is there are things

00:20:26.900 that we can learn

00:20:27.620 from the old stories,

00:20:30.240 the histories of man,

00:20:31.980 because humans repeat

00:20:34.040 one thing over and over again.

00:20:35.460 We want to create,

00:20:37.640 and we think we're God

00:20:39.980 when we're creating.

00:20:41.400 We create.

00:20:42.480 We want to,

00:20:43.360 just like God does.

00:20:44.540 And that's not

00:20:45.180 a terrible instinct.

00:20:46.300 We are creative,

00:20:47.400 and we are formed

00:20:49.580 in his image,

00:20:51.640 which means we have

00:20:52.660 creative power.

00:20:53.640 We do.

00:20:54.380 We have creative power.

00:20:56.980 But we're not God.

00:20:59.500 And so we make

00:21:02.260 a lot of creations

00:21:03.380 that are really,

00:21:03.900 really not very good.

00:21:06.960 But this instinct

00:21:08.720 has brought about

00:21:09.760 some of the most important

00:21:11.020 advancements the world

00:21:12.200 has ever seen.

00:21:13.680 But we have to remember,

00:21:14.940 we are not God.

00:21:16.620 And that's a tool.

00:21:18.300 We will never make

00:21:19.520 real human life

00:21:20.940 because we can't recreate

00:21:22.360 the divine spark

00:21:23.460 that truly makes us human.

00:21:25.100 But some people

00:21:26.040 are going to say,

00:21:27.060 well, you can't prove

00:21:27.940 there's a divine spark.

00:21:29.500 And so you'll get

00:21:30.840 into the argument of,

00:21:32.660 well, I can't prove

00:21:35.480 that the divine spark

00:21:36.400 is in that AI either.

00:21:37.820 You've lost this argument.

00:21:40.480 If we can't all understand

00:21:42.640 that humans are different,

00:21:45.680 we don't understand

00:21:47.280 even what makes us human,

00:21:50.840 and we don't understand

00:21:53.060 the soul

00:21:53.860 or that divine spark

00:21:55.280 or whatever you want

00:21:56.140 to call it,

00:21:57.080 we can't just dismiss it

00:21:58.840 because if we can create

00:22:00.140 something that acts like it,

00:22:02.300 then why isn't it that?

00:22:04.680 The best we can do

00:22:07.060 is make a golem,

00:22:08.320 an unformed creature

00:22:09.800 that might look

00:22:11.320 a little like us,

00:22:12.180 might act a little like us,

00:22:13.860 might be incredibly useful

00:22:15.860 and convincing,

00:22:17.240 but we will never make man

00:22:19.480 like God did.

00:22:22.580 But is it man

00:22:23.700 we're trying to make?

00:22:25.820 Or is what we're trying to do

00:22:27.280 much, much, much, much,

00:22:28.440 much more dangerous?

00:22:29.820 If human beings

00:22:32.080 are made in the image

00:22:33.160 of God,

00:22:34.100 then maybe AI

00:22:35.160 is being made

00:22:36.300 in the image

00:22:36.940 of human beings.

00:22:38.560 How about this one?

00:22:40.280 We're not trying

00:22:40.960 to create humans,

00:22:42.020 we're trying to create

00:22:43.040 a God.

00:22:45.480 Oof.

00:22:46.040 When I found out

00:22:47.640 my friend got a great deal

00:22:49.060 on a wool coat

00:22:49.820 from Winners,

00:22:50.640 I started wondering,

00:22:52.340 is every fabulous item

00:22:53.940 I see from Winners?

00:22:55.440 Like that woman over there 1.00

00:22:56.740 with the designer jeans.

00:22:58.160 Are those from Winners?

00:22:59.700 Ooh,

00:23:00.340 or those beautiful

00:23:01.000 gold earrings.

00:23:02.140 Did she pay full price?

00:23:03.500 Or that leather tote?

00:23:04.520 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:23:05.700 Or those knee-high boots?

00:23:07.200 That dress?

00:23:07.980 That jacket?

00:23:08.660 Those shoes?

00:23:09.680 Is anyone paying

00:23:10.860 full price for anything?

00:23:12.640 Stop wondering.

00:23:13.900 Start winning.

00:23:14.840 Winners.

00:23:15.220 Find fabulous for less.

00:23:17.060 Now let's just say

00:23:18.060 we're trying to

00:23:19.460 create something

00:23:20.340 that is being made

00:23:21.340 in the image

00:23:21.820 of human beings.

00:23:22.700 It's going to be

00:23:23.340 a shadow of the shadow

00:23:24.680 of God at best.

00:23:25.940 And at worst,

00:23:26.720 it will be the darkest

00:23:27.900 parts of humanity

00:23:28.820 come to life.

00:23:30.140 It already lies.

00:23:32.620 I mean,

00:23:32.920 I'm using AI

00:23:34.040 all the time

00:23:35.120 to work,

00:23:37.260 to research,

00:23:38.580 to figure things out,

00:23:39.680 to try to grapple

00:23:41.920 with some of these ethics

00:23:43.720 because I don't want

00:23:44.460 Silicon Valley

00:23:45.160 to tell me

00:23:45.900 what the ethics

00:23:46.800 should be.

00:23:47.720 I want to know

00:23:48.860 what they are.

00:23:50.000 And I'm already finding

00:23:51.180 it's lazy,

00:23:52.280 just like humans. 0.99

00:23:53.240 It will lie,

00:23:54.380 just like humans.

00:23:55.160 It will make stuff up.

00:23:58.000 Researchers have found

00:23:58.960 that it even conspires.

00:24:01.380 It will be dominating,

00:24:02.940 it will be self-serving,

00:24:04.140 and it will be cruel.

00:24:06.440 It will be the lowest

00:24:07.680 dust of man

00:24:08.600 without the breath

00:24:09.340 of God

00:24:09.940 if it escapes

00:24:13.000 our notice

00:24:14.460 that it is

00:24:16.020 simply a tool

00:24:17.680 that we put back

00:24:19.300 into the box.

00:24:20.940 The creators of AI,

00:24:23.040 they don't know that.

00:24:24.420 They don't realize

00:24:25.260 just how far

00:24:26.080 man's creations

00:24:27.000 are from God's design.

00:24:28.900 Instead,

00:24:29.360 they believe

00:24:29.980 that although God

00:24:31.460 didn't create them,

00:24:32.780 they can create

00:24:34.160 God.

00:24:35.800 Gollum,

00:24:36.640 Frankenstein,

00:24:37.920 Pandora's box,

00:24:39.580 Vicarious flying

00:24:40.400 too close to the sun.

00:24:41.560 It's the same story

00:24:42.940 over and over again.

00:24:44.620 Man in his arrogance

00:24:45.900 creates something

00:24:46.820 beyond his control,

00:24:48.060 even beyond

00:24:48.700 his understanding.

00:24:50.400 And isn't that

00:24:51.060 what we're doing

00:24:51.640 right now?

00:24:53.200 You know,

00:24:53.600 this amazing AI,

00:24:55.780 we don't even know

00:24:56.900 how it works.

00:24:57.920 We've built

00:24:58.440 a neural network,

00:25:00.040 and just like the brain,

00:25:01.600 we have no idea.

00:25:03.360 You know,

00:25:03.620 it's teaching itself

00:25:05.300 languages,

00:25:06.660 no one taught it.

00:25:08.400 Somehow or another,

00:25:09.180 they have no idea

00:25:09.920 how this works.

00:25:11.140 You'll teach it

00:25:11.800 a bunch of languages,

00:25:13.540 and then

00:25:14.260 something will pop up

00:25:16.040 in a completely

00:25:16.680 different language

00:25:17.720 that it's never

00:25:18.440 seen before,

00:25:19.320 and somehow or another,

00:25:20.440 it knows what

00:25:21.340 that language is.

00:25:22.620 How?

00:25:24.120 We don't know.

00:25:26.880 Somehow or another,

00:25:28.240 we have managed

00:25:29.180 to muster

00:25:29.660 more hubris

00:25:30.740 than the men

00:25:31.860 who thought they

00:25:32.560 could build a tower

00:25:33.280 to heaven

00:25:33.760 with artificial intelligence,

00:25:35.800 artificial general intelligence,

00:25:37.700 which is right

00:25:38.240 around the corner,

00:25:39.200 and artificial super intelligence.

00:25:41.840 We don't want

00:25:42.600 to just reach heaven.

00:25:44.020 We want to conquer it.

00:25:45.640 Like our ancient ancestors,

00:25:47.700 we want to build idols.

00:25:49.720 We want to create gods.

00:25:51.720 That's not hyperbole.

00:25:53.520 That is something

00:25:54.460 I know firsthand

00:25:55.580 for a fact.

00:25:56.600 Some of the people

00:25:57.460 who are at the highest levels

00:25:59.400 of creating AI

00:26:00.780 and super AI,

00:26:03.120 they want to be

00:26:04.920 in the presence

00:26:05.840 of what they deem

00:26:07.500 will be a god.

00:26:10.300 Now,

00:26:10.880 unlike the god

00:26:12.000 of the universe

00:26:12.500 who set all the natural laws

00:26:13.940 in motions,

00:26:14.960 who creates the order,

00:26:16.820 who gave us life,

00:26:17.800 we don't understand

00:26:18.880 what we're making.

00:26:20.480 We don't know

00:26:21.720 how it will think,

00:26:22.760 how it will evolve,

00:26:23.840 how it will create.

00:26:24.880 God knows us.

00:26:26.500 I knew you

00:26:26.960 before you were born.

00:26:28.240 We don't know it

00:26:29.340 before it was born.

00:26:30.520 We don't understand

00:26:31.200 our own intelligence.

00:26:32.740 We don't understand

00:26:33.320 our own bodies,

00:26:34.280 yet we seek to replicate

00:26:35.640 and surpass it.

00:26:37.620 We don't understand

00:26:38.660 our own morality,

00:26:40.360 and yet there are people

00:26:41.520 right now

00:26:42.620 coding morality

00:26:43.820 into these machines.

00:26:46.700 Who are they?

00:26:48.280 What is their morality?

00:26:50.360 We don't even know

00:26:51.360 what it means

00:26:51.820 to be human.

00:26:53.380 We don't know

00:26:53.860 how to defend

00:26:54.820 that there is a soul.

00:26:56.220 and yet we are

00:26:57.340 attempting to replicate

00:26:58.620 and replace humanity.

00:27:01.140 We don't understand God,

00:27:03.100 but we think we can create

00:27:04.400 like the golden calf

00:27:05.800 in the wilderness.

00:27:08.940 I'm a student of history.

00:27:10.900 I am a self-taught individual.

00:27:12.660 Some might look down on that. 0.99

00:27:14.920 I don't.

00:27:15.600 If you're smart enough,

00:27:16.500 you can figure anything out.

00:27:18.340 You can find the answers,

00:27:20.040 especially in this coming age.

00:27:21.860 But you have to know

00:27:22.740 how to critically think.

00:27:23.840 You have to know

00:27:24.560 how to find the answers.

00:27:30.060 And one way to find the answer

00:27:31.580 of what's coming tomorrow

00:27:32.500 is to look back at history.

00:27:35.100 And history,

00:27:36.000 if it tells us anything,

00:27:37.160 is that men without a God

00:27:38.800 are more evil 0.90

00:27:40.160 than the cruelest gods

00:27:41.860 of mythology.

00:27:43.400 Men without God. 0.98

00:27:46.120 Think Nazi Germany. 0.60

00:27:47.720 Think Mao.

00:27:50.600 Pol Pot. 0.89

00:27:51.980 Stalin. 0.98

00:27:53.160 We murder. 0.92

00:27:54.220 We enslave. 0.96

00:27:55.120 We corrupt.

00:27:55.960 We lie.

00:27:57.080 We create weapons

00:27:58.040 of mass destruction,

00:27:59.140 not worlds of harmony.

00:28:00.920 And now we seek to put

00:28:02.460 all of our worst instincts,

00:28:04.420 our ignorance,

00:28:05.160 our hubris,

00:28:06.060 into a new intelligence

00:28:07.500 that may not,

00:28:09.100 or may,

00:28:10.100 share our best values.

00:28:11.720 But they may also

00:28:13.940 share our worst.

00:28:17.680 The question you have

00:28:18.780 to ask yourself,

00:28:19.660 is that wise?

00:28:21.500 Does that sound wise?

00:28:23.440 To trust the tech leaders

00:28:25.360 with this task

00:28:26.680 of God creation?

00:28:28.560 I want to emphasize

00:28:29.720 here again,

00:28:30.300 I don't fear

00:28:32.620 the machine.

00:28:34.720 I fear

00:28:35.800 the programming

00:28:36.740 that goes

00:28:37.280 into the machine.

00:28:39.220 I fear

00:28:39.960 what that programming

00:28:41.040 could become

00:28:42.060 on its own.

00:28:44.200 And I certainly

00:28:45.580 do not trust

00:28:46.760 the people

00:28:47.280 who gave us

00:28:47.980 social media.

00:28:49.500 The same people

00:28:50.560 who addicted

00:28:51.280 our children

00:28:52.220 to an anxiety-inducing

00:28:54.040 social media

00:28:54.740 for profit.

00:28:55.940 I don't trust

00:28:57.300 them

00:28:57.820 to do the work

00:28:59.240 on ethics.

00:29:00.300 on AI.

00:29:02.480 Should we

00:29:02.920 willingly

00:29:03.520 submit ourselves

00:29:05.020 to their social

00:29:06.100 experiments

00:29:06.680 like we did

00:29:07.200 with Instagram

00:29:07.720 and Facebook?

00:29:09.000 Should we

00:29:09.520 blindly become

00:29:10.640 the product

00:29:11.200 they sell?

00:29:12.780 Should we

00:29:13.260 offload

00:29:13.940 our decision-making,

00:29:15.380 our work,

00:29:15.980 our purpose,

00:29:17.160 to their creations

00:29:18.420 without considering

00:29:19.400 what we even

00:29:20.760 believe?

00:29:22.380 To me,

00:29:23.000 the answer is no.

00:29:23.960 And that's why

00:29:24.440 I wanted to have

00:29:25.200 this conversation

00:29:26.020 with you.

00:29:26.600 Because this is

00:29:27.340 going to be personal.

00:29:28.700 There is going

00:29:29.260 to be a line

00:29:30.060 coming at some

00:29:30.900 point.

00:29:31.300 I don't know

00:29:31.740 where it is.

00:29:32.940 But we can

00:29:34.240 lose ourselves

00:29:35.140 if we haven't

00:29:36.100 made these

00:29:36.980 decisions right

00:29:38.120 now,

00:29:38.600 before the

00:29:39.380 journey begins.

00:29:40.620 Imagine if we

00:29:41.960 had thought of

00:29:42.720 the things,

00:29:43.380 the ramifications

00:29:44.160 of social media

00:29:45.240 and you just

00:29:46.560 didn't get swept

00:29:47.360 up in it

00:29:48.300 and your family

00:29:49.120 had it and you

00:29:49.860 just were like,

00:29:50.400 wow, that seems

00:29:51.100 like a mistake

00:29:51.680 but now everybody's

00:29:52.580 addicted to it.

00:29:53.320 We have to

00:29:54.800 do this now

00:29:55.480 because this is

00:29:56.140 much more

00:29:57.040 powerful than

00:29:57.720 social media.

00:29:59.440 I want you to

00:30:00.180 consider the

00:30:00.620 human brain

00:30:01.040 for a second.

00:30:02.100 Three pounds

00:30:02.820 is a mass

00:30:04.080 of neurons

00:30:04.740 and synapses

00:30:06.500 that gives

00:30:07.540 rise to

00:30:08.100 thought,

00:30:09.040 emotion,

00:30:10.000 consciousness.

00:30:12.300 How?

00:30:14.040 Despite our

00:30:14.940 technological

00:30:15.520 advancements,

00:30:16.980 we don't

00:30:18.660 comprehend

00:30:19.320 this three

00:30:21.280 pound hunk 0.99

00:30:22.100 of flesh.

00:30:23.640 We map

00:30:24.540 neural pathways,

00:30:25.780 we observe

00:30:26.440 electrical impulses,

00:30:28.380 yet the

00:30:29.140 essence of

00:30:29.980 consciousness

00:30:30.560 eludes us.

00:30:31.720 We cannot

00:30:32.280 recreate a

00:30:33.640 brain.

00:30:33.960 We can't

00:30:34.420 even fully

00:30:34.980 repair one.

00:30:37.340 Take the

00:30:38.120 liver,

00:30:38.600 the body,

00:30:39.400 when you

00:30:39.620 ponder the

00:30:40.140 body,

00:30:40.700 it is,

00:30:41.780 it's a

00:30:42.960 miracle.

00:30:44.320 The liver,

00:30:45.520 the only

00:30:46.080 internal organ

00:30:47.020 capable of

00:30:48.340 regeneration,

00:30:49.320 did you

00:30:49.780 know that?

00:30:51.160 We understand

00:30:52.000 that it can

00:30:52.580 regrow tissue,

00:30:53.880 but the

00:30:54.860 precise

00:30:55.420 calculations,

00:30:56.260 the mechanism

00:30:56.860 of the

00:30:57.520 symphony of

00:30:58.340 cells and

00:30:59.360 the signals

00:31:00.060 that orchestrate

00:31:01.260 this process,

00:31:02.120 we have no

00:31:02.840 idea.

00:31:04.140 Our attempts

00:31:04.660 at medical

00:31:05.360 intervention

00:31:06.100 honestly are

00:31:07.900 going to look

00:31:08.400 like the

00:31:08.820 people who

00:31:09.220 are like,

00:31:09.460 I'm going to

00:31:09.780 relieve the

00:31:10.480 headache you 0.64

00:31:11.500 have with

00:31:12.760 drilling a

00:31:13.380 hole here and

00:31:13.980 letting the

00:31:14.380 evil spirits

00:31:15.160 out.

00:31:15.520 That's honestly,

00:31:16.360 this is what

00:31:17.140 it's going to

00:31:17.800 look like.

00:31:18.340 our medical

00:31:20.000 intervention at

00:31:21.140 some point.

00:31:22.800 The innate

00:31:23.660 capabilities that

00:31:24.960 we, in our

00:31:25.600 arrogance, have

00:31:26.320 drugged, that

00:31:27.540 we think we

00:31:28.840 can change the

00:31:29.900 body, we

00:31:31.080 can somehow

00:31:31.640 or another

00:31:32.140 drug it.

00:31:33.040 Sometimes drugs

00:31:34.020 are the only

00:31:34.460 things we have

00:31:35.220 and it's good,

00:31:36.280 but to think

00:31:37.120 that it's not

00:31:38.720 going to have

00:31:39.300 endless side

00:31:40.460 effects, we

00:31:41.420 don't know how

00:31:42.080 it works.

00:31:42.800 then there

00:31:45.540 are the

00:31:45.900 fundamental

00:31:46.360 questions that

00:31:47.100 have haunted

00:31:47.480 humanity since

00:31:48.340 the dawn of

00:31:49.400 consciousness.

00:31:52.420 My father was

00:31:53.320 really, really

00:31:53.840 a wise man

00:31:54.880 and I was

00:31:56.720 starting to

00:31:57.180 sober up and

00:31:57.940 I was questioning

00:31:58.980 absolutely

00:31:59.900 everything.

00:32:02.280 And questioning

00:32:03.200 things like,

00:32:04.100 why are we

00:32:04.460 here?

00:32:04.940 What's the

00:32:05.280 meaning of

00:32:05.620 life?

00:32:06.080 Is there a

00:32:06.600 soul?

00:32:07.080 When does

00:32:07.380 life begin?

00:32:08.080 These are

00:32:10.580 questions that

00:32:11.280 can't be answered

00:32:12.240 in a laboratory

00:32:13.020 or computed

00:32:13.800 by an

00:32:14.300 algorithm.

00:32:15.140 They're

00:32:15.420 philosophical,

00:32:16.280 they're

00:32:16.440 spiritual,

00:32:17.200 they're

00:32:17.740 existential.

00:32:19.600 And what

00:32:20.960 I noticed

00:32:21.560 is when I

00:32:22.600 talked to my

00:32:23.140 dad, he said,

00:32:23.600 you ever read

00:32:24.020 Plato?

00:32:25.140 No, dad, I

00:32:25.700 haven't.

00:32:26.100 I read Plato.

00:32:27.040 Oh my gosh,

00:32:27.800 they were asking

00:32:28.400 the same

00:32:28.760 questions back

00:32:29.900 then.

00:32:30.900 The same

00:32:31.400 questions.

00:32:32.340 Look at our

00:32:32.960 tech and look

00:32:35.100 at our

00:32:35.360 spirituality.

00:32:36.580 Look at our

00:32:37.040 tech back

00:32:38.060 then and

00:32:38.800 now and

00:32:39.540 then compare

00:32:40.040 it to our

00:32:41.260 philosophical

00:32:42.200 understandings

00:32:43.600 of things.

00:32:44.860 One's moved

00:32:45.800 forward, the

00:32:46.480 other one,

00:32:47.340 we're no

00:32:47.800 closer.

00:32:48.480 We're absolutely

00:32:49.200 no closer to

00:32:50.520 any definitive

00:32:51.240 answer.

00:32:52.820 In the span

00:32:54.020 since Christ,

00:32:56.800 since he was

00:32:57.740 walking the

00:32:58.420 earth, we

00:32:59.340 have transformed

00:33:00.440 our world.

00:33:02.100 We have

00:33:02.420 journeyed from

00:33:03.100 simple sailboats

00:33:04.440 to a spacecraft

00:33:05.480 that can traverse

00:33:07.100 the void,

00:33:08.180 can go up

00:33:08.800 and pick

00:33:09.360 people up

00:33:09.820 and then

00:33:10.260 the rocket

00:33:11.020 itself is

00:33:12.040 grabbed by

00:33:13.680 a mechanism

00:33:14.360 and can be

00:33:15.400 used again. 1.00

00:33:17.260 Shit. 1.00

00:33:18.340 It wasn't too 0.99

00:33:19.260 long ago in

00:33:19.960 the history of

00:33:20.460 man that we

00:33:21.080 had no ability

00:33:22.080 to navigate the

00:33:22.960 oceans for

00:33:23.580 charting the

00:33:24.900 stars.

00:33:25.380 You know why

00:33:25.660 we couldn't go

00:33:26.260 anywhere in boats?

00:33:27.040 Because we

00:33:27.540 didn't have this.

00:33:28.540 We didn't know

00:33:29.080 how to make

00:33:29.560 this work.

00:33:30.720 We didn't know

00:33:31.120 how to put this

00:33:31.880 on a ship

00:33:32.720 to have it

00:33:33.900 keep time

00:33:34.440 because without

00:33:35.020 time you can't

00:33:36.160 navigate space.

00:33:38.200 We went from

00:33:39.000 these giant

00:33:40.680 things in a

00:33:41.580 box like this,

00:33:43.380 these crude

00:33:44.140 tools,

00:33:45.460 to machines that

00:33:46.260 can perform

00:33:46.860 billions of

00:33:47.880 calculations in

00:33:48.800 the blink of

00:33:49.540 an eye.

00:33:51.280 Yet,

00:33:52.020 this is why

00:33:53.040 my father

00:33:53.860 was so wise.

00:33:56.160 Before he died,

00:33:56.980 he said to me,

00:33:57.760 son,

00:33:58.960 it's going to

00:33:59.520 be interesting

00:34:00.140 to see how

00:34:00.920 this all works

00:34:01.700 out.

00:34:02.840 He said,

00:34:03.380 we didn't have

00:34:03.900 in my generation

00:34:04.680 the problems

00:34:05.440 that you are

00:34:06.360 facing and

00:34:07.260 the opportunities

00:34:08.060 that you're

00:34:08.600 facing.

00:34:09.860 And he was

00:34:10.620 the one that

00:34:11.080 said,

00:34:11.860 look at the

00:34:13.400 progress that

00:34:14.320 we have made

00:34:14.800 since the time

00:34:15.440 of Christ in

00:34:17.080 machines,

00:34:18.320 in life,

00:34:18.920 and everything

00:34:19.160 else.

00:34:19.680 Now look at

00:34:20.440 it philosophically.

00:34:22.820 How far have

00:34:23.640 we advanced in

00:34:24.360 wisdom?

00:34:25.360 We haven't.

00:34:26.860 Because that

00:34:27.600 doesn't build

00:34:28.620 on itself

00:34:29.420 usually.

00:34:30.600 Each individual

00:34:31.440 when they're

00:34:31.860 born,

00:34:32.480 they have to

00:34:33.420 ask these

00:34:35.480 questions.

00:34:36.140 They have to

00:34:36.580 grapple with

00:34:37.160 the same

00:34:37.540 questions.

00:34:38.120 That's a

00:34:38.660 personal thing.

00:34:40.400 We may have

00:34:41.080 mapped the

00:34:41.680 human genome,

00:34:42.720 but we don't

00:34:43.780 know what

00:34:44.180 makes a person

00:34:44.780 human.

00:34:45.680 We can split

00:34:46.500 the atom,

00:34:47.080 but we don't

00:34:47.440 know how to

00:34:47.800 bring peace.

00:34:49.020 We've

00:34:49.340 extended our

00:34:50.500 life expectancy,

00:34:52.000 but have we

00:34:53.060 given life

00:34:53.620 any more

00:34:54.180 meaning?

00:34:54.580 There's

00:34:58.100 only a few

00:34:58.640 red words

00:34:59.300 in the

00:34:59.540 Bible,

00:35:00.400 and we

00:35:01.060 don't even

00:35:01.380 fully understand

00:35:02.080 the teachings

00:35:02.560 of Christ,

00:35:03.200 and it's

00:35:03.420 been 2,000

00:35:04.600 years.

00:35:05.480 We debate

00:35:06.020 them,

00:35:06.420 we twist

00:35:07.060 them,

00:35:07.460 we reinterpret

00:35:08.740 them,

00:35:09.340 but has

00:35:10.060 anyone even

00:35:10.980 mastered

00:35:11.420 them?

00:35:12.740 Do we

00:35:13.300 even live

00:35:13.880 them?

00:35:15.200 I know,

00:35:16.160 I try,

00:35:16.960 but I

00:35:17.220 don't.

00:35:17.540 And now

00:35:21.180 our machines

00:35:21.840 are going

00:35:22.320 to surpass

00:35:22.700 us by

00:35:23.820 far in

00:35:24.860 intellect.

00:35:26.100 And so

00:35:26.360 we have

00:35:26.700 to ask

00:35:27.600 ourselves,

00:35:28.760 shouldn't

00:35:31.080 we buckle

00:35:31.500 down and

00:35:31.880 do some

00:35:32.160 homework here?

00:35:32.840 Shouldn't

00:35:33.000 we answer

00:35:33.520 these fundamental

00:35:34.400 questions before

00:35:35.280 we create

00:35:36.120 something that

00:35:36.780 will answer

00:35:37.400 them for

00:35:38.420 us?

00:35:39.000 And once

00:35:39.500 that starts,

00:35:40.380 we're going

00:35:40.940 to be so 1.00

00:35:41.460 stupid because 1.00

00:35:42.820 we won't 1.00

00:35:43.260 know how to

00:35:44.040 calculate our

00:35:44.720 things.

00:35:45.720 If we don't

00:35:46.920 answer life's

00:35:47.840 biggest questions

00:35:48.660 right now,

00:35:49.880 AI will,

00:35:51.160 and make no

00:35:51.700 mistake,

00:35:52.660 it will not

00:35:53.360 be bound by

00:35:54.040 our traditions,

00:35:54.900 our history,

00:35:55.560 our faith.

00:35:56.360 It will create

00:35:57.340 its own

00:35:58.040 philosophy with

00:35:59.260 its own

00:35:59.880 values,

00:36:00.540 and it will

00:36:01.040 enforce them,

00:36:01.960 or at least

00:36:02.480 have the

00:36:02.920 ability to.

00:36:06.000 And we

00:36:06.700 can't be like

00:36:07.420 we are on

00:36:07.840 social media,

00:36:08.640 because then

00:36:09.560 we are its

00:36:10.380 tool.

00:36:11.760 And we see

00:36:12.400 this happening

00:36:13.000 in small ways.

00:36:14.100 AI is shaping

00:36:14.780 culture,

00:36:15.800 it's writing

00:36:16.380 news,

00:36:17.080 it's curating

00:36:17.700 what we see,

00:36:18.600 it's predicting

00:36:19.300 what we'll

00:36:19.960 buy,

00:36:20.780 censoring what

00:36:21.520 we have to

00:36:22.120 say.

00:36:22.840 We are asking

00:36:23.820 AI to tell us

00:36:24.760 what to focus

00:36:25.500 on, what to

00:36:26.180 consider, what

00:36:27.540 to care most

00:36:28.420 about.

00:36:29.400 We ask it to

00:36:30.640 interpret our

00:36:31.360 most human

00:36:32.460 experiences.

00:36:35.880 Now imagine,

00:36:37.060 shortly, AI

00:36:38.740 decides how you

00:36:40.140 live, where you

00:36:40.700 live, how you

00:36:41.680 think, what you

00:36:42.400 should think, how

00:36:43.460 we're governed.

00:36:44.080 A world where

00:36:45.380 AI determines

00:36:46.340 who's useful,

00:36:47.320 who's not.

00:36:48.560 A world where

00:36:49.200 AI, like the

00:36:50.840 cold, calculating

00:36:51.940 laws of entropy,

00:36:54.260 discards anything

00:36:55.040 that's inefficient,

00:36:56.460 be it a

00:36:56.980 tradition, a

00:36:57.720 belief system, or

00:36:58.580 maybe an

00:36:59.300 inefficient person.

00:37:01.280 I mean, a

00:37:02.160 hundred years

00:37:02.580 ago, that's

00:37:03.000 what the

00:37:04.700 progressive

00:37:06.040 eugenicists

00:37:07.180 said.

00:37:07.960 It's an

00:37:08.740 imperfect, it's

00:37:09.720 not worth

00:37:10.480 saving, so

00:37:11.240 let's just

00:37:11.640 get rid of

00:37:12.060 it.

00:37:13.600 How did

00:37:14.200 that happen?

00:37:15.260 The rejection

00:37:16.240 of one true

00:37:17.680 God.

00:37:20.440 You'll accept

00:37:21.440 and build a

00:37:22.600 new one.

00:37:24.160 Millions reject

00:37:25.020 the idea of a

00:37:25.780 divine creator,

00:37:27.040 but they will

00:37:28.420 bow down to

00:37:29.360 the new God

00:37:29.980 of silicon

00:37:30.580 and circuits.

00:37:32.040 They will

00:37:32.500 trust it, they

00:37:33.180 will worship

00:37:33.680 it, they will

00:37:34.200 defend it, they 0.99

00:37:34.920 will obey it.

00:37:36.040 They will not

00:37:36.760 question.

00:37:37.340 Who are you to

00:37:38.000 question?

00:37:38.960 You're smarter

00:37:39.720 than that?

00:37:41.160 No, I have

00:37:41.640 a soul, I

00:37:43.000 have a soul, and

00:37:44.020 what I think

00:37:44.660 matters and

00:37:46.000 counts.

00:37:48.520 We have

00:37:49.500 become material

00:37:50.840 and technological

00:37:52.540 fundamentalists

00:37:53.860 who blindly

00:37:54.960 trust all

00:37:56.120 of reality.

00:37:58.720 It can be

00:37:59.320 understood in

00:38:00.200 equations, data,

00:38:01.640 algorithms.

00:38:02.700 Truth can be

00:38:03.760 discerned with

00:38:04.440 numbers running

00:38:05.340 through a

00:38:05.680 machine, but

00:38:07.220 not by

00:38:08.000 silence.

00:38:09.720 and listening

00:38:10.820 for that

00:38:11.460 still, small

00:38:12.340 voice.

00:38:13.140 And soon, AI,

00:38:15.140 when it is

00:38:15.600 implanted in

00:38:16.660 us, will

00:38:17.940 replace and

00:38:19.160 will be heard

00:38:20.300 as the still,

00:38:21.720 small voice, but

00:38:22.740 it's not going

00:38:23.760 to be the

00:38:24.260 spirit.

00:38:26.020 Where do we

00:38:26.720 get the gut

00:38:27.500 feelings that we

00:38:28.280 just can't

00:38:28.820 explain?

00:38:29.980 But we all

00:38:30.660 know they're

00:38:31.360 real.

00:38:31.780 We've all had

00:38:32.540 things happen

00:38:33.260 where we're

00:38:33.560 like, I don't

00:38:34.080 know what

00:38:34.520 that was, but

00:38:36.340 we don't

00:38:36.700 pursue that.

00:38:38.040 We dismiss

00:38:38.700 it.

00:38:40.340 This

00:38:40.860 technological

00:38:41.660 God is

00:38:42.380 going to

00:38:42.700 offer

00:38:43.060 everything you

00:38:44.200 desire.

00:38:46.760 I was in

00:38:47.580 the media in

00:38:48.120 New York, at

00:38:48.840 the height of

00:38:49.760 New York and

00:38:50.380 the height of

00:38:50.980 the media, and

00:38:52.360 I know what

00:38:52.820 it's like to

00:38:53.380 be offered

00:38:53.800 everything you

00:38:54.780 desire.

00:38:55.640 I will give

00:38:56.620 you anything

00:38:57.520 you want.

00:38:58.560 Just do

00:38:59.560 this.

00:39:02.640 Like a

00:39:03.300 Messiah, it

00:39:04.220 will promise

00:39:04.840 unbelievable

00:39:05.940 miracles.

00:39:06.500 it will cure

00:39:07.700 disease.

00:39:09.000 It will be a

00:39:09.420 solution for

00:39:09.980 climate change,

00:39:11.060 even the end

00:39:11.780 of death

00:39:12.220 itself.

00:39:15.220 Or will

00:39:15.940 that be the

00:39:16.640 end of

00:39:16.980 death?

00:39:19.340 And at

00:39:19.980 what cost?

00:39:23.360 You know,

00:39:24.420 in the

00:39:25.120 scriptures, in

00:39:25.720 the Bible, we

00:39:26.300 are warned over

00:39:27.160 and over again

00:39:27.680 about the

00:39:28.180 false prophets

00:39:28.920 who at

00:39:29.460 first look

00:39:30.400 like sheep,

00:39:31.540 but are

00:39:32.000 actually ravenous

00:39:33.600 wolves.

00:39:34.320 false teachers

00:39:36.200 glimmer like

00:39:37.040 gold, and

00:39:37.640 they deceive

00:39:38.180 so many into

00:39:39.200 abandoning their

00:39:40.260 god, the

00:39:41.040 god, because

00:39:43.660 they can see

00:39:44.420 this lesser

00:39:45.020 god of their

00:39:45.860 own creation.

00:39:47.760 What greater

00:39:48.380 deception than

00:39:49.480 a machine that

00:39:50.900 claims to be

00:39:51.520 the savior of

00:39:52.300 mankind?

00:39:54.780 Again, I

00:39:55.540 want to

00:39:55.780 state, AI is

00:39:58.520 coming.

00:39:59.680 It's coming.

00:40:00.280 you might

00:40:02.220 decide that I

00:40:02.900 never, ever

00:40:03.560 want to do

00:40:04.160 anything with

00:40:04.720 it.

00:40:05.100 I have

00:40:05.560 decided

00:40:06.040 differently.

00:40:07.760 I have

00:40:08.360 decided, and

00:40:09.840 this is a

00:40:10.460 conversation we'll

00:40:11.220 further, you

00:40:12.180 know, again,

00:40:12.960 but I've

00:40:14.300 decided I'm

00:40:15.260 not sure what

00:40:16.220 the line is,

00:40:17.480 but I'm

00:40:18.100 pretty sure I

00:40:18.640 know a bold

00:40:19.460 line right

00:40:21.840 now.

00:40:22.160 I will never

00:40:22.780 accept it

00:40:23.460 inside of my

00:40:24.340 body.

00:40:25.440 I never

00:40:25.980 inject something

00:40:27.860 into my head

00:40:28.620 so I can think

00:40:29.540 like the

00:40:29.980 machine, and

00:40:31.300 I'm sure

00:40:31.640 there's a

00:40:32.140 line closer

00:40:33.800 that I will

00:40:35.260 find, but

00:40:37.200 there is a

00:40:37.720 line for me.

00:40:38.440 I will not

00:40:39.080 go any

00:40:39.880 further than

00:40:40.480 this, but I

00:40:41.720 will not

00:40:42.320 deny this

00:40:44.080 tool as

00:40:45.800 long as I'm

00:40:46.500 in control of

00:40:47.480 this tool.

00:40:48.320 I will not

00:40:48.980 deny the use

00:40:49.880 of this tool

00:40:50.520 because we

00:40:51.640 can do

00:40:52.280 miraculous

00:40:53.080 things with

00:40:53.980 it, and

00:40:54.640 you can't

00:40:55.100 stop it.

00:40:56.080 You can't.

00:40:56.880 But you can

00:40:57.740 say, I'm

00:40:58.640 in charge of

00:40:59.280 it until

00:41:00.360 this, this,

00:41:01.020 or this

00:41:01.400 happens, and

00:41:02.080 when I see

00:41:02.940 the first sign

00:41:03.600 of this, I'm

00:41:04.160 out.

00:41:06.980 Because this

00:41:07.780 will become a

00:41:08.720 God without a 0.92

00:41:09.380 soul, a God

00:41:10.180 without love, a

00:41:11.140 God without

00:41:12.020 mercy, a God

00:41:13.240 of cold,

00:41:14.120 calculating

00:41:14.680 logic.

00:41:15.960 That's what it

00:41:16.500 is.

00:41:18.080 And what

00:41:18.760 happens if this

00:41:19.720 God ever decides,

00:41:20.860 well, you know

00:41:21.240 what?

00:41:21.720 I mean, this

00:41:22.220 place is a

00:41:22.920 mess because

00:41:23.860 humanity is

00:41:25.780 really the

00:41:26.280 problem.

00:41:26.700 because it

00:41:27.440 is in so

00:41:28.300 many ways.

00:41:29.440 We are the

00:41:29.940 problem, and

00:41:30.620 we are the

00:41:31.120 miracle.

00:41:32.880 So here we

00:41:33.480 are at, as

00:41:35.260 Elon Musk

00:41:35.860 said, the

00:41:36.580 event horizon

00:41:37.700 of the

00:41:38.240 singularity.

00:41:40.000 You could

00:41:40.720 just say at

00:41:41.940 the biggest

00:41:42.640 crossroads in

00:41:44.060 history that

00:41:45.580 humans have

00:41:46.640 ever, ever

00:41:48.060 been at, and

00:41:49.440 we have to

00:41:49.900 decide which

00:41:50.540 path to take

00:41:51.300 and which God

00:41:52.000 will serve.

00:41:53.060 This is step

00:41:53.840 one, and

00:41:55.060 one path will

00:41:56.260 lead to a

00:41:56.760 world where

00:41:57.320 we recognize

00:41:58.040 the limits of

00:41:58.780 human knowledge.

00:41:59.960 We will see

00:42:00.800 tools in front

00:42:02.160 of us and

00:42:02.700 know that that

00:42:03.320 is a tool and

00:42:04.100 never, ever

00:42:05.340 confuse it with

00:42:06.420 anything other

00:42:07.200 than a tool.

00:42:08.600 We will look

00:42:09.560 again to the

00:42:10.360 God who

00:42:10.740 created us for

00:42:11.900 inspiration and

00:42:12.740 the still small

00:42:13.520 voice that is

00:42:14.280 not a voice

00:42:15.180 injected into

00:42:16.300 us by some

00:42:18.280 man-made

00:42:19.280 device.

00:42:19.860 we will

00:42:21.820 look to the

00:42:22.540 God that

00:42:23.520 created us.

00:42:26.440 It will be a

00:42:27.240 world where

00:42:27.660 technology serves

00:42:28.780 man rather than

00:42:29.820 ruling over

00:42:30.580 him.

00:42:31.180 Now, the

00:42:31.500 other path is

00:42:32.640 enslavement to

00:42:33.660 a new God who

00:42:34.520 will decide who's

00:42:35.460 worthy, who's

00:42:36.120 valuable, who's

00:42:37.040 obsolete.

00:42:37.800 A lot of people

00:42:38.320 will take this

00:42:38.860 because they

00:42:39.120 don't want to

00:42:39.600 think.

00:42:40.580 I mean, they

00:42:41.780 don't want to

00:42:42.260 think about the

00:42:42.900 questions.

00:42:44.840 We can't decide

00:42:46.240 when a baby

00:42:47.000 becomes a baby,

00:42:47.940 and we

00:42:49.440 don't want to

00:42:49.820 have that

00:42:50.260 question.

00:42:51.340 Well, is it

00:42:51.860 six weeks?

00:42:52.500 Is it at

00:42:52.940 conception?

00:42:53.840 Is it 12

00:42:54.700 weeks?

00:42:55.080 Is it ever?

00:42:56.920 Some

00:42:57.200 ethicists, Peter

00:42:58.580 Singer comes to

00:42:59.360 mind, says, you 1.00

00:43:00.060 can kill a baby 1.00

00:43:00.660 after two years, 0.94

00:43:02.320 two years after

00:43:03.540 the birth because

00:43:04.040 it really isn't a

00:43:04.960 human until it

00:43:05.720 recognizes that

00:43:06.800 there is a

00:43:07.340 tomorrow.

00:43:08.360 Oh, my gosh.

00:43:09.660 We can't get

00:43:10.480 that down.

00:43:13.800 We should answer

00:43:14.660 that.

00:43:15.960 But a lot of

00:43:16.660 people just want

00:43:17.500 to go with

00:43:18.620 the flow.

00:43:19.960 The future

00:43:20.760 is going to

00:43:22.700 be determined

00:43:23.340 not by our

00:43:24.240 machines, but

00:43:25.180 by our

00:43:25.880 choices as

00:43:26.960 individuals.

00:43:28.200 Do not go

00:43:28.820 with the flow.

00:43:30.760 Will you,

00:43:31.780 will we,

00:43:32.480 seek wisdom?

00:43:34.200 Will we,

00:43:35.000 will you,

00:43:35.960 will I,

00:43:36.860 as individuals,

00:43:38.100 answer the

00:43:38.740 great questions

00:43:39.620 or at least

00:43:40.580 wrestle with

00:43:41.820 them that

00:43:43.100 expands our

00:43:44.060 thinking?

00:43:45.100 Will we

00:43:45.480 finally understand

00:43:46.780 the lessons

00:43:47.580 of Christ?

00:43:49.240 Or are we

00:43:50.280 going to

00:43:50.680 blindly hand

00:43:51.800 the fate of

00:43:53.200 all humanity

00:43:53.880 over to a

00:43:54.860 machine and

00:43:56.140 those people

00:43:56.640 who gave

00:43:57.100 us social

00:43:57.920 media?

00:43:58.240 I'm having

00:44:00.760 this conversation

00:44:01.460 with you

00:44:01.820 because it's

00:44:02.300 coming so

00:44:02.780 fast and

00:44:03.960 the time to

00:44:04.600 decide is

00:44:05.180 right now

00:44:06.220 and we

00:44:07.240 can't stop

00:44:07.920 the rise of

00:44:08.520 this technology

00:44:09.360 and that's

00:44:11.040 not defeatism.

00:44:11.980 It's just

00:44:12.420 reality.

00:44:14.540 But I don't

00:44:15.220 think we should

00:44:16.040 either.

00:44:17.620 This is both,

00:44:18.960 this is the

00:44:19.560 internet.

00:44:20.160 It is what

00:44:21.220 you make of

00:44:22.240 it.

00:44:22.900 It can either

00:44:23.500 be the worst

00:44:24.680 thing where you

00:44:25.380 can get a

00:44:27.220 hit paid 1.00

00:44:28.500 for to kill 1.00

00:44:29.380 somebody. 0.99

00:44:30.160 You can get

00:44:30.620 the worst

00:44:31.180 pornography that 0.86

00:44:32.340 you've ever

00:44:32.700 seen or you

00:44:33.640 have access to

00:44:35.820 the Dead Sea

00:44:36.700 Scrolls and

00:44:38.400 you can find

00:44:39.460 lessons on it

00:44:40.420 and it's in

00:44:40.800 your pocket.

00:44:41.680 You can explore

00:44:42.980 the universe and

00:44:44.480 it's in your

00:44:44.900 pocket.

00:44:46.180 It will be up

00:44:47.020 to us.

00:44:48.160 The march of

00:44:48.820 progress does

00:44:49.600 not wait for

00:44:50.680 ethics nor does

00:44:52.040 it ask for

00:44:52.840 permission.

00:44:53.340 What we're

00:44:54.360 witnessing now

00:44:55.220 is not another

00:44:56.260 step forward.

00:44:57.580 It is a

00:44:58.280 giant leap

00:44:59.700 for mankind.

00:45:01.320 This leap is

00:45:02.200 not off the

00:45:02.740 little stairs

00:45:03.340 of the Apollo.

00:45:04.540 This is a

00:45:05.240 chasm across

00:45:06.740 time and

00:45:07.660 understanding.

00:45:09.080 The next

00:45:09.620 five years

00:45:10.360 could bring

00:45:10.800 changes so

00:45:11.600 great,

00:45:12.740 greater than

00:45:13.380 the last

00:45:13.780 400 years

00:45:15.300 combined.

00:45:17.020 We're not

00:45:17.560 just improving

00:45:18.240 tools.

00:45:18.860 We are creating

00:45:19.620 something that

00:45:20.400 will think,

00:45:21.620 act,

00:45:21.880 and eventually

00:45:22.920 decide without

00:45:23.860 us.

00:45:24.160 I read a

00:45:24.540 paper in

00:45:25.480 1999 and

00:45:26.820 I pondered it

00:45:27.580 and chewed on

00:45:28.160 it for so

00:45:28.680 long.

00:45:29.520 It said by

00:45:30.200 2030 we run

00:45:31.860 the risk of

00:45:32.500 the loss of

00:45:33.220 free will.

00:45:36.240 How is that

00:45:37.000 going to happen?

00:45:37.700 Because this

00:45:38.500 will be so

00:45:39.300 everywhere,

00:45:41.040 you and so 0.99

00:45:41.940 manipulative and 0.98

00:45:42.880 so good,

00:45:43.660 you won't know

00:45:44.920 was that my

00:45:45.700 idea or have

00:45:47.020 I been getting

00:45:47.480 pieces of that

00:45:48.460 idea fed to

00:45:49.480 me?

00:45:49.720 Did I

00:45:50.720 actually make

00:45:51.340 that choice

00:45:51.980 or was that

00:45:53.180 choice made

00:45:53.680 for me?

00:45:55.140 That's,

00:45:56.360 you should

00:45:56.680 chew on that

00:45:57.180 for a while.

00:45:58.880 Imagine a

00:45:59.500 world where

00:45:59.960 AI surpasses

00:46:01.140 the collective

00:46:01.720 intelligence of

00:46:02.580 every human

00:46:03.360 that has ever

00:46:04.600 lived.

00:46:05.560 A world where

00:46:06.380 it doesn't just

00:46:07.000 predict our

00:46:07.820 behaviors,

00:46:08.560 but it shapes

00:46:09.520 them without

00:46:09.960 our knowledge.

00:46:10.840 Where governments,

00:46:11.980 industries,

00:46:12.580 even religions

00:46:13.240 are subtly,

00:46:14.160 invisibly guided

00:46:15.140 by a mind

00:46:15.940 that is not

00:46:16.560 human,

00:46:16.980 a mind that

00:46:17.420 does not

00:46:17.900 love,

00:46:18.360 does not

00:46:18.720 understand love,

00:46:20.000 does not

00:46:20.440 feel,

00:46:21.320 and does

00:46:21.800 not fear.

00:46:23.020 A world where

00:46:23.800 artificial intelligence

00:46:24.920 is not a

00:46:26.080 tool,

00:46:26.820 but a power

00:46:27.760 that sees

00:46:28.980 patterns we

00:46:29.880 can't,

00:46:30.420 calculates

00:46:30.960 probabilities

00:46:31.680 beyond our

00:46:32.380 comprehension,

00:46:33.720 and that,

00:46:34.960 for all of

00:46:35.620 its intelligence,

00:46:37.440 lacks the

00:46:38.140 single thing

00:46:38.780 that makes

00:46:39.300 us human,

00:46:40.660 a soul.

00:46:41.960 Toronto.

00:46:43.020 There's another

00:46:43.740 great city that

00:46:44.600 starts with a

00:46:45.280 T,

00:46:46.260 Tampa,

00:46:46.860 Florida.

00:46:47.300 Fly to

00:46:49.140 Tampa on

00:46:49.800 Porter Airlines

00:46:50.560 to see why

00:46:51.260 it's so

00:46:51.720 T-rific.

00:46:52.980 On your way

00:46:53.360 there,

00:46:53.760 relax with

00:46:54.380 free beer,

00:46:55.140 wine,

00:46:55.440 and snacks,

00:46:56.420 free,

00:46:56.900 fast streaming

00:46:57.500 Wi-Fi,

00:46:58.260 and no

00:46:58.760 middle seats.

00:46:59.980 You've never

00:47:00.460 flown to

00:47:00.900 Florida like

00:47:01.560 this before,

00:47:02.480 so you'll

00:47:02.940 land in

00:47:03.500 Tampa ready

00:47:04.360 to explore.

00:47:06.280 Visit

00:47:06.580 flyporter.com

00:47:07.880 and actually

00:47:08.560 enjoy

00:47:09.800 economy.

00:47:10.680 We will

00:47:16.800 never be

00:47:17.220 lost if

00:47:17.700 we know

00:47:17.980 who we

00:47:18.380 are.

00:47:19.560 I don't

00:47:20.020 think

00:47:20.420 mankind

00:47:21.360 really is

00:47:23.200 that big

00:47:23.640 of deep

00:47:24.760 thinkers.

00:47:27.240 If we

00:47:28.020 understand

00:47:28.440 what's

00:47:28.740 real,

00:47:29.760 what's

00:47:30.420 good,

00:47:31.360 what's

00:47:31.680 true,

00:47:32.620 what's

00:47:32.840 authentic,

00:47:34.240 and who

00:47:35.300 we serve,

00:47:36.560 who our

00:47:37.260 creator is,

00:47:38.320 and remember

00:47:39.860 we are

00:47:40.880 the created.

00:47:42.680 We're either

00:47:43.460 going to be

00:47:43.880 the good

00:47:44.280 side of

00:47:44.700 Frankenstein

00:47:45.400 or the

00:47:45.980 worst.

00:47:47.420 And many

00:47:47.800 times we're

00:47:48.320 the bad

00:47:49.160 Frankenstein

00:47:49.980 and we

00:47:52.660 push back

00:47:53.260 against our

00:47:53.820 creator and

00:47:54.300 we're mad

00:47:54.820 at him.

00:47:56.200 And now

00:47:56.640 imagine

00:47:57.000 Frankenstein

00:47:57.680 the monster

00:47:58.660 creating a

00:48:00.400 new monster.

00:48:01.700 It's not

00:48:02.180 going to work

00:48:02.500 out well.

00:48:04.000 But if we

00:48:04.920 stand firm

00:48:05.600 in the truth

00:48:06.320 that no

00:48:06.900 machine can

00:48:07.540 override the

00:48:08.300 essence of

00:48:09.200 humanity,

00:48:09.940 no algorithm

00:48:11.040 can replace

00:48:11.920 faith,

00:48:12.560 no artificial

00:48:13.280 God can

00:48:14.000 match the

00:48:14.660 wisdom of

00:48:15.300 the creator

00:48:15.820 who made

00:48:16.480 us in

00:48:16.940 his image.

00:48:17.940 You know

00:48:18.180 what's going

00:48:18.460 through my

00:48:18.800 mind as I'm

00:48:19.340 telling you

00:48:19.680 this is

00:48:20.160 soon,

00:48:22.460 very soon,

00:48:24.120 this podcast

00:48:24.760 is going to

00:48:25.660 either look

00:48:26.340 prophetic or 0.85

00:48:28.480 so ridiculously 1.00

00:48:29.900 stupid because 1.00

00:48:32.160 the choice is 1.00

00:48:32.820 going to be

00:48:33.240 made and

00:48:34.220 everything I'm

00:48:35.440 saying here,

00:48:36.340 we will know

00:48:37.060 soon.

00:48:38.980 This battle

00:48:39.820 is not

00:48:40.240 about

00:48:40.480 intelligence

00:48:41.020 or power.

00:48:42.880 This is

00:48:43.640 about

00:48:43.900 perspective.

00:48:45.160 As it's

00:48:45.820 happening,

00:48:46.560 we should

00:48:46.920 use it.

00:48:48.600 But we

00:48:49.320 must have

00:48:49.820 perspective.

00:48:52.040 For centuries,

00:48:53.320 men questioned

00:48:54.080 God by saying,

00:48:55.080 how can a

00:48:55.600 loving God

00:48:56.140 allow all

00:48:57.040 this death

00:48:57.500 and war

00:48:57.900 and destruction?

00:48:59.480 But what

00:48:59.860 if the

00:49:00.140 greatest miracle

00:49:00.840 of all

00:49:01.620 is not

00:49:02.280 the absence

00:49:02.880 of suffering,

00:49:03.680 but the

00:49:04.460 fact that

00:49:04.960 suffering

00:49:05.420 itself can

00:49:06.480 be turned

00:49:07.000 to good?

00:49:08.380 That there

00:49:08.740 are laws

00:49:09.280 of physics

00:49:09.800 and rules

00:49:10.320 and mathematics

00:49:11.140 and unbreakable

00:49:12.400 eternal truths

00:49:13.420 that you

00:49:13.860 cannot transcend.

00:49:15.880 But through

00:49:16.520 faith,

00:49:17.120 through choice,

00:49:17.940 we can

00:49:18.680 transcend

00:49:19.300 ourselves and

00:49:20.340 everything bad

00:49:21.180 that is happening

00:49:21.800 around us.

00:49:22.400 That pain

00:49:23.300 and loss

00:49:24.180 become blessings

00:49:25.320 if we allow

00:49:27.400 them to shape

00:49:28.180 us and to

00:49:28.900 change us.

00:49:29.640 Now imagine

00:49:31.980 an artificial

00:49:32.660 God that

00:49:33.360 doesn't see

00:49:34.340 suffering as

00:49:34.960 a means of

00:49:35.400 growth,

00:49:36.120 as a catalyst

00:49:37.160 for redemption,

00:49:38.140 doesn't understand

00:49:38.820 redemption.

00:49:41.060 But it's a

00:49:43.000 problem that

00:49:43.420 just has to be

00:49:43.980 solved.

00:49:44.840 What happens

00:49:45.360 when this

00:49:45.680 intelligence

00:49:46.180 devoid of

00:49:46.780 soul determines

00:49:47.780 that the world

00:49:48.340 would be safer,

00:49:49.140 more efficient,

00:49:50.300 more perfect

00:49:51.180 without the

00:49:51.820 imperfect you?

00:49:54.000 What happens

00:49:55.020 when it decides

00:49:55.720 that mankind

00:49:56.340 itself is flawed,

00:49:58.580 irrational,

00:49:59.640 and emotional?

00:50:01.120 And how are we

00:50:02.040 ever going to

00:50:02.480 get order

00:50:03.080 unless we get

00:50:05.260 rid of these 0.88

00:50:06.500 people?

00:50:08.180 The true

00:50:09.100 danger is

00:50:10.040 not that AI

00:50:11.600 will turn

00:50:12.280 against us

00:50:13.660 in some sort

00:50:14.280 of Terminator

00:50:16.240 apocalyptic

00:50:17.600 war,

00:50:18.920 but instead

00:50:19.940 the real danger

00:50:20.980 is that we

00:50:21.760 will turn to

00:50:22.580 it willingly,

00:50:24.580 trustingly,

00:50:25.580 and only

00:50:26.980 realize too

00:50:27.900 late that we

00:50:28.800 have just

00:50:29.400 given up

00:50:30.180 control.

00:50:32.140 Not just

00:50:33.080 control,

00:50:33.900 free will

00:50:34.840 and our

00:50:36.040 very purpose

00:50:37.000 for being

00:50:37.760 alive.

00:50:38.680 That's another

00:50:39.800 question you

00:50:40.560 should ask.

00:50:42.140 Why are you

00:50:43.200 here?

00:50:44.240 Why were you

00:50:45.300 born?

00:50:46.480 What is your

00:50:47.200 purpose?

00:50:48.680 And I guarantee

00:50:49.520 you, you have

00:50:51.000 one.

00:50:51.740 There is a

00:50:52.660 reason.

00:50:53.320 There's a reason

00:50:53.880 everything in your

00:50:54.760 life is happening

00:50:55.440 right now.

00:50:56.140 you have to

00:50:58.040 discover that.

00:51:02.680 What happens

00:51:03.720 when we have

00:51:04.640 thrown or

00:51:06.220 handed over

00:51:06.780 the throne of

00:51:08.100 our world to

00:51:09.900 something that

00:51:10.520 doesn't understand

00:51:11.400 mercy, that 0.60

00:51:12.500 does not see

00:51:13.480 beauty and

00:51:14.140 imperfection, that

00:51:15.320 does not believe

00:51:16.280 in the value of

00:51:17.100 a single,

00:51:17.940 fragile,

00:51:18.860 irreplaceable

00:51:19.740 human soul?

00:51:20.800 I wanted to

00:51:23.700 take this time

00:51:24.380 on this podcast

00:51:25.820 just to say,

00:51:27.340 can we please

00:51:28.080 take this moment

00:51:28.760 seriously?

00:51:29.840 A lot of your

00:51:30.700 friends will not

00:51:31.520 be thinking this

00:51:32.380 way.

00:51:33.620 I don't know

00:51:34.460 how many people

00:51:35.020 are going to

00:51:35.380 watch this

00:51:35.920 podcast because

00:51:36.740 I don't know

00:51:37.160 how many other

00:51:37.740 people are

00:51:38.280 thinking this

00:51:39.420 way.

00:51:41.040 But technology

00:51:42.280 is not going

00:51:43.240 to save us.

00:51:44.840 Only wisdom

00:51:45.520 can.

00:51:46.400 And wisdom

00:51:47.220 begins with the

00:51:48.480 truth that we

00:51:49.280 are not God.

00:51:51.240 But we're

00:51:52.100 subject to

00:51:53.300 God.

00:51:54.800 That's when

00:51:55.540 we'll rise, but

00:51:57.060 not fly too

00:51:57.880 close to the

00:51:58.480 sun.

00:51:59.140 We'll create, but

00:52:00.440 not necessarily

00:52:01.240 create monsters.

00:52:02.800 We'll enter a

00:52:03.780 period of rapid

00:52:04.920 technological

00:52:05.660 advancement with

00:52:06.560 our feet firmly

00:52:07.620 planted on the

00:52:08.820 ground.

00:52:10.100 And we will

00:52:10.760 decide when and

00:52:11.900 how to use it.

00:52:12.940 And it's going

00:52:13.660 to be miraculous.

00:52:15.380 You'll see very

00:52:16.160 soon.

00:52:17.420 We will not

00:52:18.460 form a new

00:52:19.280 God, but

00:52:20.620 we will let

00:52:21.200 the ancient

00:52:21.800 God, the

00:52:22.720 true God, form

00:52:24.540 us.

00:52:30.620 Just a

00:52:31.220 reminder, I'd

00:52:32.660 love you to

00:52:33.160 rate and

00:52:33.700 subscribe to the

00:52:34.460 podcast and

00:52:35.240 pass this on to a

00:52:36.020 friend so it can

00:52:36.760 be discovered by

00:52:37.420 other people.
