"We always expect utopia is coming and what we usually get is smarter ways to do stupid stuff we've always been doing." Human progress in one sentence.
triplea657aaa Averted, with DNIs, AI expert system assistants, and genemods, nearly all of the population will be far more intelligent than anyone alive today, so you tell me how likely it is for a culture of trillions of super intelligent entities all across the spectrum of life to NOT develop utopia. Space is large enough to where every single person can develop a habitat that is there own personal utopia, or you could just escape into VR, but either way, so long as we get off Earth and don’t develop malicious nanotechnology, our species will be perfectly fine
@@EpicEliteSnipe what about corporations controlling these things. Whether we will be immensely intelligent, there is still always a group or corporation controlling you, placing you without you knowing because they are far more intelligent then the general population of the immense intelligence. Utopia my ass. They might make a utopia for themselves. You can have the intent but the rest of the world doesn't share the same intent, neither does our biological nature....
Kyrlics Well you’re always gonna be more or less controlled subtely by things smarter or more capable than you but I don’t see a problem with that as long as you still have free will and access to everything you could want, which we more than likely would in that scenario, and to the utopia my ass comment, a utopia is a place where everyone or nearly everyone can have whatever they want within reason, with cornucopia machines, virtual worlds, and space habitats, as long as the economy goes away, would allow utopia for anyone that wants one, it just depends on ai being not hostile, even if they’re neutral we’re still on track
Banelord you do realize that there is a possiblity of our intellegent decendents that never make utopia because they realize how primitive or stupid a utopia is, we keep thinking linearly what if our ancestors finds a way to manufature artifical conflict to keep humankind in Perpetual conflict is the most efficent manner of striving forward in technology? You know technology advances the furthest through war right?
NeostormXLMAX Also in case you claim I took your message out of context I know that it’s in reference to how quickly our technology jumped up in the 20th century because of the world wars and Cold War, thing is, the most advancements in the shortest time occurred during the Cold War, which didn’t even see the U.S and Soviet Union fighting, just competing and fighting proxy wars, but now that there’s relative global stability and the space industry is getting kicked off, the organizations that control space industries will become the wealthiest companies in the system just because of how many materials can be gathered from asteroids; once that happens, governments will no longer be the driving factor in human affairs, but mega corporations will be, and planetary authorities will mostly be dependent on the corporations. While it will not be a utopia at first so long as capitalism continues being a thing, open-source cornucopia machines will turn the transitional economy of the future into a true post scarcity economy
I just find it amazing that you throw in so many pop culture references and so many jokes which actually makes me laugh. While also keeping the integrity of the message you are conveying. Props and money to you man!
Alex Ilves It's a reference to a song by The Killers, which both he and Sam O' Nella referenced. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RIZdjT1472Y.html
On a less cheery note, 54 years is tiny on a multiple generation timescale. It seems ridiculously likely that we will have all out nuclear warfare given it takes only one person.
to do list: □ go grocery shopping □ pick up the kids from school ✔have an existential crisis edit: ok i've been getting notifications about this comment for over a year now and i am so sorry to inform you guys, BUT I DON'T HAVE KIDS ASNVDSCKFVG
He didnt pick them up, and guess what, they died! Very dark humor indeed. Unless they managed to take care of themselves without you, or you never had kids in the first place.
You know, I'm just realizing that memes are evolving. We went from really diverse and mostly friendly mid to late 2000's memes, to the more selective stuff from the early 2010's, to the crappy and short lived memes from the mid 2010's (a tendency that still keeps going on to this day, but will surely dissapear), to the incredibly abstract memes we have today. If I were to try and predict the future, I'd say we're going to go through another selective period by the early 2020's, and we're going to have less memes than today, and some may be based on memes from the past, adapted to a new era. One good example of this happening now is The lion sleeps tonight, which as it is was a meme back then, yet it was adapted as a successor to Well be right back. ...now that I think about it, applying the theory of evolution to memes is a pretty good topic.
One of my favorite quotes ever said from this brilliant man is: "We started the 20th century by barely flying over the ground and we ended it by landing on the moon" That quote makes me excited for the end of the 21st century. Lik god damn. We started this century off with smart phones, CRISPR, 7nm computing, wireless earbuds, dissolvable plastic, pollutant removers for water, lazer eye surgery. The 21st Century is the beginning of an advanced technological civilization of which we can never imagine. I want to be able to immediately sound proof any room, put wireless 'microbuds' in my ears, pull my phone out of my skin, and watch porn with a Mars setting.
it doesnt excite me, it scares me. having technology in my body is something i do not want. they need to be 2 seperate things. and there is NO WAY i am getting shit put into my BRAIN. NO. but yk, u do u :)
And in a few centuries we'll look like the Caesar did to us. Old and ancient, without the crazy discoveries of today. Maybe Whisky will cute Cancer someday.
Probably. But the weapons of genocide are going to get more and more deadly. Starving people and shoveling them into death camps is downright inefficient compared to the kind of stuff we might be able to accomplish in a few years. Already, today, for about $30,000, you can genetically engineer the Spanish Flu to release snake venom in its victims. How's that for genocide?
Hey exurb1a, can I ask you to do my one mildly large favour? By the time we're all immortal ubersex gods experiencing glorious space communism, can you just keep making videos. Be it about a robot revolt in Eden Prime or a new way to back up our consciousness. Can you never stop making videos? Yeah? Lovely, thanks mate!
+exurb1a Oh you're the bestest, well see you around mate. Maybe you'll do a subscriber meet up in a dozen centuries or so. Drinks'll be on me, given they'll be free. Scientific Gay Space Communism will be swell
This video had a great effect on me Exub1a. Just found your channel recently, binge watching all your content, hope you keep making videos forever mate.
+MouldyTomato Vevo Osama Bin Laden, the man that completely changed the 21st century turns out to have been using his computer to watch FUCKING HENTAI AND ANIME while the 45th president is a fucking walking meme and Europe is being overrun by savages.
That awful moment when you realize that finding this channel quelled, if only briefly, the crisis taking center stage in your mind but now you only have two Exurb1a videos left to watch so the existential dread immediately sets in again.
@@lilasf695 Oh yes. Epsilon Dies Backwards, and we're only here as a byproduct of a chain reaction caused by the death the of the universe which is actually giving birth to itself trough it's own death, creating itself in its own future in an infinite closed loop. Seems about right.
I have been on youtube since it came out.Your humour, video editing and exceptional use of REAL english is astounding. You are by far the best content creator in here.
Friend: "I just went to the store to get some bread. It's uh... *glances at label* whole grain." Me, pulling out flamethrower: "Exurb1a warned me about this..."
Adelle K Seriously? I mean the video was great n all but if it changed your view on life then you really haven't ever given your life a second thought.
What do think would happen if an ancient curious human found a modern-day frag grenade. There would be no way for him to know the true nature of the object until he performed the experiment that destroys him as a result. He had no reason to believe that such a demise would come, yet it came directly by his own action. I believe that a similar thing will happen for humanity. We will perform some experiment to answer a question or gain insight to some physical anomaly, and unwittingly destroy ourselves in a spectacular fashion. We are so inquisitive, and there just needs to be one deadly misunderstanding for it to happen.
Andre Berry well we can jus analyze the frag grenade n run a simulation and the example u gave isnt giving him any credit he could also pull the grenade n throw it cuz it looks like a rock. He could tie a string to it n pull he could do alot of shit other than die
Andre Berry yeah man I think a logical person (us now, not as cavemen) experimenting would pull the pin on the grenade with a string from a distance that we can safely observe what happens.
Remi Caron well definitely live, It all depends on whether we take shit seriously, for example a bunch of fucking millinials voted for Hillary and Trump, thd 2 worst choices
We just find smarter ways to do stupid things Me: Making an extremely large contraption to explode with confetti as a prank on the neighbor *Sweating nervously*
Grain ends the world? Wow. Gluten really IS bad for you. 1 year later: Gratifying that this got so much traction. 😌 Also, the people taking this literally... Did you even watch the video? 😂 In times of things like coronavirus, YOU are probably what ends the world. 😏
I have never heard this video creator spinning into a sponsorship.. I have confidence that every word is part of the video and this keeps me on my toes in-between every quip!
Hey exurb1a, thanks for making videos the way you do you're the only person that can make me genuinely laugh while making contemplate everything that ever existed
@@several_revolution5317 Maybe that these same people say God is in everything, including all people who are supposedly children of God but then telling them they shouldn't try to be like their parents, which makes no sense at all, how could we be anything else if God is everything? I mean, God children not playing God, that's like telling kittens to not play cats. Also, if they like nature so much, they should stop living in houses and wearing clothes.
No I refuse to believe that I've been singing human all day and I just happen to click a video with a reference to it. This is foolproof evidence of the universe having a greater meaning.
We will for sure see some serious changes in the near future. I mean I’m sure you remember a time before IPhones, with all the up and coming tech there will be hundreds of things that change society that profoundly or more.
Yeah I think that is a kind of depression phase I'm in right now. Everytime I think:"why couldn't I be born in 5 generations in the future?" I'm just so addicted to see nee technology stuff coming up.
@@dasemmiyogurt6288 5 generations ago they thought the same thing probably. Be happy, you're where you are right now with civilizations or something, in 5 generations maybe we're dead by nuclear warfare, or aliens from different galaxies wiped us out in nano seconds, or we're ruled by robots or something.
I think that our growing understanding of psychology will be as huge as our understanding of physics and engineering. Imagine being able to remove mood disorders, APD, procrastination, and anything we don't like about ourselves. It is SO AMAZING.
for some reason l was expecting the "or are we dancers" bit after he said "are we human" also if you didn't notice the "I" typed up there is actually a lowercase L, but you can't possibly notice hu3hu3hu3
I don't know how old you are, but agi is likely within 40 years. Once you have agi, you can pretty much figure anything else out. That includes aging, augmentation, and so on.
Just purchased The Fifth Science. Hands down one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Very impressed my friend congratulations on the achievement.
If you had a window to look at the year 4019 you wouldn’t understand what it is you’re looking at, unless you lived through the 2000 years. But even then who knows how your brain would differ from those born in 2000 years
