Yuval Noah Harari On Why Engineers Need Philosophy Yuval Noah Harari explains why spirituality matters more than ever in the 21st century: Harari argues that questions philosophers have debated for thousands of years are rapidly shifting from abstract contemplation into urgent, practical territory. "In the 21st century we need...

Elon Musk reveals the single idea that explains why he keeps working despite being worth $800 billion "When I was a teenager, I had an existential crisis trying to figure out what's the meaning of life. It doesn't seem to be any meaning" "For me at least, the religious texts that I read did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. You have to be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression" "Reading Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, as a kid you're like, whoa" "Then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The real problem is trying to formulate the question. To really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth" "The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?" "The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe" "The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multi-stellar species, we have a chance of figuring out what the hell's going on" "This is why I think we should have more humans and more digital, both biological and digital consciousness"

Why does the frontier of AI still rely on humans? Handshake CEO Garrett Lord explains: "You really need human beings to design what are called verifiers or rewards that help models understand what good looks like." "Luckily, I think for humans, like a lot of the world is still very unverifiable…”

Elon Musk about the meaning of life and the trap of wishful thinking : “When I was a kid, I was wondering what's the meaning of life? Like, why are we here? What's it all about? And I came to the conclusion that what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask. And the more that we can increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions. And so I think that there are certain things that are necessary to ensure that the future is good. One of the biggest mistakes people generally make, and I'm guilty of it too, is wishful thinking. You know, like, you want something to be true even if it isn't true. And so you ignore the things that you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true. This is a very difficult trap to avoid.”

Bestselling historian, Yuval Noah Harari, explains why we may be one of the last generations of homo sapiens. The prediction: "We are one of the last generations of homo sapiens. Within a century or two, Earth will be dominated by entities that are more different from us than we are different from chimpanzees." The technologies driving the shift: Harari explains that we as humans will soon have the power to re-engineer our bodies and brains through genetic engineering, direct brain-to-computer connections, and completely non-organic artificial intelligence. These technologies are developing at breakneck speed. The unprecedented danger: Harari warns, "One of the dangers is that we will see in the coming decades, a process of greater inequality than in any previous time in history because for the first time it will be real biological inequality." If enhancement technologies are available only to the rich or only to people from certain countries: "Homo sapiens will split into different biological castes because they really have different bodies and different abilities." Why this matters: Throughout history, inequality has been social and economic, but humans remained biologically equal. We're now approaching a threshold where the enhanced and unenhanced could be as different as humans and chimpanzees. The question is... who gets access, and what happens when biological inequality becomes real?

.Elon Musk (worth $250B) answers why he’s still working: I think it's a good question you asked, because it goes to, like, at a foundational level, what is my philosophy, and why does it lead to this conclusion? So the reason is that when I was a teenager, I had, like, an existential crisis to try to figure out what's the meaning of life. There doesn't seem to be any meaning. For me, at least the religious texts, and I read all of them that I could get my hands on did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. Be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression. So reading Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, as an adult, it's much more manageable. But as a kid, you're like, “Whoa.” So then I was like, “Man, I'm just struggling to find meaning in life here.” And then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And basically what Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The question is not, “What's the meaning of life?” In The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Earth it turns out is a big computer, and its goal is to answer the question, “What's the meaning of life?” And Earth comes up with the answer “42”. This is where the 42 number comes from. And 420 is just ten times 42. In that book, which is really sort of a book about, it's an existential philosophy book disguised as humor. They come to the conclusion that, no, the real problem is trying to formulate the question. And to really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth. And so maybe one way, I think, of characterizing this would be to say, “The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?” The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multistellar species… we have a chance of figuring out what the hell is going on. And so this is why I think we should have more humans and both biological and digital consciousness. And why we should become a multi-planet species and a multistellar species is so that we can understand the nature of the universe. And then in order for that to occur, then we have to make sure that things are good on Earth. We don't want Earth to disappear, so sustainable energy is important.

Queer theorist Judith Butler attempts a response to Matt Walsh's "What Is a Woman?" and it's just "You're angry and you hate Socrates" "I can't help noting that the people who pound the table like, 'It's a simple fact, we should have a simple answer.' They're angry. They're insistent. They're frustrated. I mean, just look at what the emotional aura is of that claim. 'We need a simple truth.' And like, whoa, why are we so angry about that?" "I ask the same question. What is a woman? Freud asked the question: what does a woman want? But you could also say, what is a woman? My own sensibilities say it's a great question, but it's wondrous. It's wonderful. Let's keep that question open, because you know what? There are going to be a lot of different ways of answering and will give us access to human complexity. And then we'll know more about the world and we'll be able to affirm the human in its complexity rather than putting it into fixed boxes and smashing in those nails. So for me, 'What is a woman' is a great question, but I would just keep it open." "This is a movement that seeks to control knowledge, to suppress knowledge, to stop us from questioning -- even to attack Socrates, who taught us the absolute importance of open inquiry." "The anti-gender ideology movement is an attack on knowledge and an attack on open inquiry."

Demis Hassabis just handed the future of civilization to the philosophers. Not more engineers. Not more compute. Not more code. A direct call to arms for the humanities. Hassabis: “It’s very urgent that we really think about the second-order consequences. Many of you in the humanities subjects, it’s now your time in my opinion.” The CEO of Google DeepMind. The man further down the road of artificial intelligence than almost anyone alive. And he’s saying the next chapter doesn’t belong to him. He laid out the exact sequence of what comes next. First, get the technology right. Then, rewrite the economics. Then, face the philosophical questions about the human condition. That third layer is where everything changes. Because we’ve spent all of recorded history defining ourselves by what we can do. Think. Build. Solve. Create. Intelligence was the currency. The differentiator. The thing that separated us from everything else on this planet. And we’re about to make it abundant. When the thing you built your entire identity around becomes something a machine does better, faster, and for free… You don’t have a technology problem. You have a mirror. And the mirror is asking one question. What are you without the doing? Most people look at that question and see obsolescence. Hassabis sees elevation. Hassabis: “I’m very optimistic that we’re gonna get this right. I’m a big believer in human ingenuity, especially when the pressure’s on.” This is not a warning about the end of the world. It’s an invitation to build a better one. For a century, society pushed the humanities to the margins. We prioritized the mechanics of survival over the philosophy of living. That era is over. When artificial intelligence automates the mechanics of survival, philosophy ceases to be a theoretical luxury. It becomes the most critical applied science on Earth. Algorithms cannot calculate what constitutes a virtuous life. Code cannot assign meaning. The technologists are about to hand us infinite leverage. But infinite leverage without human direction is just chaos. Hassabis: “Humanity has always figured it out when the chips are down. And they are now.” The chips are down. But that’s exactly where this species does its best work. We spent ten thousand years building a machine that could lift the burden of basic survival. We succeeded. Now we finally get to figure out what it actually means to be alive.

Corporations that are purely AI and robotics will vastly outperform any corporations that have people in the loop You can think of it like how 'computer' used to be a job that humans had. You would go and get a job as a computer where you would do calculations. They had entire skyscrapers full of humans....20, 30 floors of humans...just doing calculations. Now, that entire skyscraper of humans doing calculations can be replaced by a laptop with a spreadsheet. That spreadsheet can do vastly more calculations than an entire building full of human computers So, you think about it: what if only some of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by humans? That would be much worse than if all of the cells in your spreadsheet were calculated by the computer. And so, really what will happen is the pure AI, pure robotics corporations or collectives will far outperform any corporations that have humans in the loop. It will happen very quickly

"What is P vs NP and how does it relate to human knowledge?" Avi Wigderson (Turing Award & Abel Prize winner): "In a very basic way, all the problems we want to solve are really NP problems. A subset of it is the problems we can solve. So the question of P versus NP is whether we can solve all the problems we want to solve, whether we can know everything we want to know. This is basically about the limits of our knowledge. You can think there is no limit to what we may want to know but I claim that essentially in any human endeavor, what people are searching for have the property that when a solution is found, it is easily recognized. NP are all problems that we can honestly say we really want to solve and P are those that we can solve. Whether they are equal is just the very fact that a solution can be easily recognized would imply that it can be efficiently found. That means that we can know everything we ever want to know, it's a fundamental question about human knowledge."

“In any area where you’re not quite sure what the right questions are—whether you’re asking the right questions—what you’re doing is philosophy, whether you like it or not. […] It is really fascinating and even entertaining to watch really brilliant scientists start thinking about tough issues and reinventing all the mistakes of the history of philosophy. If you don’t know the history of what’s wrong with Hume and Kant and Aristotle and Plato and all the rest, then you’re going to fall into those mistakes. [You] don’t know for sure if [you]’re asking the right questions.” —Daniel Dennett on science and philosophy.

This is what we’ve had to put up with for years because they are here. Living in constant fear of attack in our own country because of these people. If anyone is upset by this you are nothing more than a Christianophobe. Suck it up and get on with it. That’s what we have to do too. Up the Irish 🇮🇪💪

The official timeline of human development is impossible. What if...the story of human history was written after the fact, to explain a world that already existed? What if the timelines, origins, and limits you've been taught were never meant to be accurate...but just believable enough to stop you from pondering deeper questions? What exactly are YOU, outside of the story you were given? The reason why the powers that be are crushing you financially, physically, and mentally is to prevent you from having the free brainspace to think about these questions.

It's a book on philosophy disguised as a book on humor. And I would say that forms the basis of my philosophy, which is that we don't know the meaning of life. But the more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, digital and biological, the more we are able to understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. I have a philosophy of curiosity.” Interview with Lex Fridman, November 9, 2023

Culture is genetic because behavior is genetic. This beaver never saw a dam in its life. No beavers or anything else ever taught it to build a dam. It wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Many beavers together build a big dam. That is beaver culture. Humans are not different. Nothing is different. This is what life is. This is how life works. Your body is your mind. A caterpillar wants to build a chrysalis. A bee wants to build a hive. A lion wants to build a pride. You are not special. You are not above your nature. you are INSIDE of it. The thoughts that we think are genetic thoughts. The crimes we commit are genetic crimes. The art we create is genetic art. Just like this beaver, you can give the animal different sticks and it will build a different dam, but it will always build a dam. And you can give humans different "education," but the human will always use it to do what its genes tell it to do. This is the first big answer that you need. This is the biggest piece of the puzzle. This is how to understand people 90% of the way. You just... notice what they do, and get out of the way, and watch them do it. And if they need sticks, you give them sticks. And if you don't like what they do, you have to get away from them. You cannot train dam-building into them or out of them any more than you can with a beaver. A beaver wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Whatever you see people build, that's what they wanted to build from the sticks they got in the river they were in. Stop pretending you can change it.

This is the biggest piece of the puzzle. This is how to understand people 90% of the way. You just... notice what they do, and get out of the way, and watch them do it. And if they need sticks, you give them sticks. And if you don't like what they do, you have to get away from them. You cannot train dam-building into them or out of them any more than you can with a beaver. A beaver wants to build a dam because it is a beaver. Whatever you see people build, that's what they wanted to build from the sticks they got in the river they were in. Stop pretending you can change it.

Reporter: What do you make of DOJ monitoring searches on the Epstein files? Jayapal: I found out about it because a reporter called me and wanted to know about the emails I had searched. I was like, how did you know what emails I searched? There’s a separation of powers for a reason. This is spying on members of Congress. We are calling for a full accounting of what they are using it for, and they need to stop that. We need a new process that assures us they are not spying on members of Congress.

Demis Hassabis just told a room full of academics that they’re running out of time. Not the engineers. Not the technologists. The economists. The philosophers. The people who are supposed to understand what a civilization actually is. Hassabis: “It’s very urgent that we really think about the second-order consequences.” He wasn’t talking about the technology. He was talking about everything that comes after it. Hassabis: “I’m always a little bit astounded when I talk to economists about what’s happening and it’s sort of, they’re pretty skeptical. ‘Where’s it, where’s it coming in the GDP?’” The architects of the global economy are asking where the biggest economic shift in human history is showing up in a spreadsheet. That’s not skepticism. That’s institutional paralysis dressed up as rigor. Hassabis: “It’s ten times the Industrial Revolution.” The Industrial Revolution didn’t just move capital. It burned the feudal system to the ground and birthed the modern world. Hassabis is telling us to multiply that violence by ten. Hassabis: “We’re going to be in a world for the first time, if we get the technology right, where we’re a non-zero-sum world for the first time in humanity’s existence. How can that not need a new type of economic system?” Every economic model you have ever lived under shares the exact same foundational assumption. Scarcity. Capitalism. Communism. Mercantilism. Feudalism. Four names for the mathematics of starvation. Hassabis: “I don’t think it’s any of the ones we’ve tried, because they were all done under the guise of a zero-sum, a limited, a scarce world.” He’s not saying capitalism failed. He’s saying the premise underneath it is about to dissolve. And nobody has written the replacement. But scarcity didn’t just shape our economies. It shaped our identities. You found meaning in your labor. You found virtue in your utility. You worked so you didn’t die. Every concept of purpose humans have ever constructed was forged in a world where things run out. Where choices cost something. Where suffering had a function. Remove scarcity and you don’t just disrupt markets. You collapse the entire philosophical framework through which human beings have understood what it means to live. Hassabis: “There’s the even harder question of how do we want to evolve our society and what is virtuous, what is meaning, what is purpose.” The technology is solvable. The economics is redesignable. But philosophy itself was built inside scarcity. Ethics is the study of hard choices. Meaning is what we extract from struggle. Purpose is what we build against resistance. Take that away and the entire architecture of human meaning loses its load-bearing wall. Hassabis: “I think that’s going to need lots of great philosophers.” He’s asking for thinkers who don’t exist yet. The engineers are about to automate your survival. And in doing so, they will automate your purpose. We spent all of human history fighting for the right to stop struggling. We have no idea what happens to the human mind when we actually win.

The WEF's lead philosopher, Yuval Noah Harari, has perfectly articulated the technocratic bargain they wish to impose. He states the 21st century's great battle will be between privacy and health, and "health will win." He envisions a world where we willingly surrender our most intimate biological data—via internal sensors—to entities like Google or, tellingly, "the Chinese government." What is Harari really saying? He is describing the final frontier of control: the human body itself. The promise of "health" is merely the seductive wrapper for a system of perpetual, involuntary surveillance. He admits the system won't just monitor for cancer. It will monitor your emotions. He chillingly uses the example of a citizen in North Korea being eliminated by an algorithm for having a "bad" emotional response to a dictator's portrait. This is not a dystopian warning from Harari; it is a blueprint. It is the wet dream of every authoritarian regime and their corporate partners. They are not building this system to save you from the flu. They are building it to save the system from you. The WEF's "Great Reset" is a reset of human sovereignty. Your body will become the final data set to be mined, and your mind the final frontier to be policed.
