Jamie Metzl - 2019 - Are You Ready for the Genetic Revolution
Our DNA is becoming as readable, writable, and hackable as our information technology in a genetic revolution that will transform our healthcare, the way we make babies, the nature of the babies we make, and our evolution as a species.
In 2018, a Chinese scientist genetically modified twin babies to be genetically superior.
In February 2019, the World Health Organization appointed Jamie Metzl -- a leading technology futurist, geopolitical expert and sci-fi novelist --, for the governance and oversight of human genome editing.
Jamie Metzl says, "This is our future and we can’t be ignorant about it."

Aphantasia - We Don't All Have a Mind's Eye
Some people don’t have or use visual imagination, or the “mind’s eye.” Many with this condition, called aphantasia, might not even realize that they’re experiencing the world differently, but this difference offers a new window into how the brain processes imagination, emotion, and even memory.

Aphantasia: The People Who Can't Visualise
Most people can visualise images in their head instantaneously - this known as the mind's eye.
But in 2015, a scientific study shed new light on the relatively unheard-of phenomenon known as aphantasia, a mental blindness where the brain is unable to call images to the mind eye.
This short documentary uncovers the root cause of a person's emotional detachment from people and events - and the unexpected advantages that come with it.

Tom Ebeyer - Aphantasia - I am not able to picture things in my mind
It wasn't until his twenties that Tom Ebeyer realized that his brain worked differently than others. That's when he discovered that there is such a thing as a mind's eye — and he didn't have one.
Tom has aphantasia, a rare condition where people are unable to visualize things in their mind.
For years, the phenomenon had no name, and Tom felt alone in his experiences. But when he learned about a neurologist in the United Kingdom who was researching a mystery condition that sounded similar to his own, it opened up a new world that would change his life.

Stephen Wolfram - 2021 - Do Humans Have Free Will
Free will seems so obvious. Whatever I want to do, I just do. But could ‘I’ be fooled? Some say that free will is an illusion, and they back up their claim with scientific experiments. Others say that free will is a mystery. Still others alter the definition of free will to be ‘compatible’ with a deterministic world.
*** EXCERPTED FROM Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science" ***
The Phenomenon of Free Will
Ever since antiquity it has been a great mystery how the universe can
follow definite laws while we as humans still often manage to make
decisions about how to act in ways that seem quite free of obvious laws.
But from the discoveries in this book it finally now seems
possible to give an explanation for this. And the key, I believe, is the
phenomenon of computational irreducibility.
For what this phenomenon implies is that even though a system
may follow definite underlying laws its overall behavior can still have
aspects that fundamentally cannot be described by reasonable laws.

Robin Hanson - 2022 - Alien Civilizations Are Expanding Rapidly
Robin Hanson explains two kinds of alien civilizations. “Quiet” aliens who don’t expand or change much, and then they die. We have little data on them, and so must mostly speculate, via methods like the Drake equation.
“Loud” aliens, in contrast, visibly change the volumes they control, and just keep expanding fast until they meet each other. They should be easy to see as they will be reorganizing the stars and galaxies they are in.
If these "grabby" aliens exist and start expanding at over one-third the speed of light then we would not see their changes until the aliens get very close. Robin Hanson models that there is intelligent grabby aliens once in every million galaxies.

Stephen Wolfram - 2021 - Why does the universe exist
This interview is based on the following:
Why does the universe exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? These are old and fundamental questions that one might think would be firmly outside the realm of science. But to my surprise I’ve recently realized that our Physics Project may shed light on them, and perhaps even show us the way to answers.
It’s one thing to say that we have a rule or program that can reproduce a representation of what our universe is doing. But it seems very different to say that the rule or program is “actually being run” and is “actually generating” the “physical reality” of our universe.
As soon as one starts talking about “running programs” some people will immediately ask “On what computer?” But a key intellectual point is that computational processes can ultimately be defined completely abstractly, without reference to anything like a physical computer.

A 'theory of everything' is the ultimate workings of physics, the ideas and equations that undergird the physical universe at its deepest level. What can theory of everything explain? And what can it not explain? To have a theory of everything, what do you need? And if you get it, what can you do with it?

Some lifeforms, particularly the extremophiles, are hardy enough to survive the extreme conditions of space. Meteorites and comets are the most discussed methods for transportation.

Robin Hanson - 2014 - The Great Filter
The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life compared to the apparently high a priori likelihood of its existence.
The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi paradox. It posits that in the development of life from the earliest stages to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there exists some particular barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare.
The idea was first proposed in a 1996 online essay titled "The Great Filter – Are We Almost Past It?", written by economist Robin Hanson.

Michio Kaku - 2014 - Will civilization go from 0 to 1 or perish? The Kardashev scale & Great Filter
Michio Kaku describes our current zero type civilization relative to the first 3 Kardashev scale for measuring types of advanced civilizations based on abilities to harness and use massive energy systems.
Additional to that is a concept termed "The Great Filter" and named for the idea that when intelligent life on a planet reaches a certain level of technology and complexity they wipe themselves out. This may speak to why we are still yet to make alien contact and why we may equally doomed.

Advanced Civilizations - 2020 - The Kardashev Scale
The observable universe has been around for more than 13 billion years. Up to two trillion galaxies make up of something like 20,000 billion billion stars surrounding our home galaxy.
What might we find: little green men or microbes? How might we find them: radio waves or strange chemicals in the planet's atmosphere? Something no one has even thought of yet?
Over the decades, scientists considering the possibility of life beyond Earth have pondered what such life might look like, how humans might be able to identify it from afar — and whether communication between the two worlds might be possible.
That thinking has included developing classification systems ready to fill with aliens. One such system is called the Kardashev scale...

"Humans are not playthings of cosmic forces," he says. "We are users of cosmic forces."

Douglas Rushkoff - 2019 - How to be Team Human in the digital future
Humans are no longer valued for our creativity, says media theorist Douglas Rushkoff — in a world dominated by digital technology, we’re now just valued for our data.
In a passionate talk, Rushkoff urges us to stop using technology to optimize people for the market and start using it to build a future centered on our pre-digital values of connection, creativity and respect. “Join ‘Team Human.’ Find the others,” he says. “Together let’s make the future that we always wanted.”

Paul Rulkens - Why the majority is always wrong
Paul Rulkens: "We live in a world where the questions might be the same, but the answers have changed. In other words, what has got you here, will no longer get you there. And if you want to have results that you’ve never had before, well, you need to start doing things you’ve never done before."
