A couple of things.

I think we are closer to a systemic understanding of the universe than we think. That’s because my work has taught me how the universe works at all scales and how simple it is.

There are only two directions of “OMG!” discovery left to us (biological engineering and if anything can be done with the quantum background to circumvent SOL limits.) Only one of those has radical potential (quantum background).

I think that another cognitive revolution is possible in ordinary education. (I’m trying to make it possible) It should give us a std deviation – as much as the scientific revolution did.

I am not sure I have anything to add to the long history of visions of human-computer interaction that have been theorized for many decades now … OTHER than social disintigration will absolutely follow. I didn’t realize the degree of normative behavior we had presumed prior to mass internet communication and how well it would disrupt socialization and interpersonal cooperation.

I think the problem of human cooperation under robotics and AI especially given warfare possibilities, is the only uncertainty that exposes us to risk. So I expect AI and integration to accelerate social deconstruction. And I can’t really envison anything GOOD about that world.

I think the population problem (plus in Africa and India minus in everywhere else, and the starvation that is likely to result) is the most terrifying we can see on the horizon. And I don’t know HOW we avoid a century of wars to adapt to it.

I want star trek but I’m afraid we’ll get another dark age.
