Is there hope for humanity?
In light of the numerous challenges we face today, from political to environmental crises, it seems like there isn’t.
But according to today’s esteemed guest Marcelo Gleiser, there’s still hope! However, we need to shift our perspective, recognize our place in the universe, and rediscover our connection to the natural world.
These are topics he thoroughly explored in his most recent book: The Dawn of a Mindful Universe: A Manifesto for Humanity's Future. I used our interview to ask him a few questions that came to my mind when I was reading this wonderful book.

I always tag my videos as being made in Walls Garage, Easy St. STEM NC. This is a metaphor for experimentally hitting the wall in STEM... Walls Garage is the Garages Wall and Garage is the experimental process point... this is Hitting the wall in experimental sciences and phasing to the otherside like the opposite of the bigbang... its the otherside if the singularity.
12:50 we can be alone and still be alone if a trillion different species of human intelligence plus life exists... all is the Singularity Aka God aka bigbang... all encompassing and completely alone... all is truly 1.
You claim there is no evidence of UFOs but the definition of evidence is a percent chance of a likelihood pushing that possibility higher at what threshold is your acceptable percent chance does it need to be 100% or does it merely need to be 51%?
If it is 51 percent then you are a fool if it is 100% then you are a fool!
To ask whether God is active in the universe is the question oneself into question one's existence everything here is made in the image of God everything here is God and God is acting on all of it at all times and if you represent the ways of selflessness one for all but never all for one then you'll be protected by the highest good for the highest good... this is the ultraviolet this is the combination of the positive blue and the passionate red of the negative... this is life!
“Hope for Humanity” is a function of ethics.
Great point. Brian didn't like that comment. lol
@@NicholasWilliams-uk9xu How so?
@@Mike10four Well physically, he might not have seen it. Anyhow I'm just kidding :)
Thank you both for that wonderful conversation. Great guest, what a clear but deep thinking modest scientist. We need more of these people.
Excellent interview Dr Brian, I'm very happy to hear from this fellow countryman of mine, who is actually one of my heroes
Thanks so much! *What was your favorite takeaway from this conversation?* _Please join my mailing list to get _*_FREE_*_ notes & resources from this show! Click_ 👉 briankeating.com/list
We, together with science and technology have to become connected to the moral pillar that has been lost on the way. That is what we have to do.
Hi Brian, new subscriber here, I’m a Bach. Psychology student, J Peterson fan, have been appreciating your balanced opinions and approach. Keep up the search for truth. Thank.

Brilliant minds!! Thank you for in depth science philosophy!! Epic food for thought, satiating & delicious!🙏
Hi, just unbelievable talk, lots to learn whit Marcelo, i will check more about Oscillons topology and information theory.....
Thanks friend
Ahh Gleiser a very traditional Brazilian surname haha. I kid.. great talk, very insightful man and I am interested in his book.
new technology is not the problem. we human beings ought to be more discerning!!!! and not just accept every new thing they want us to buy. we should have some foresight!!!! but very few see over the tip of their nose.
In the movie Arrival the aliens recognize that for humans to be helpful in the far off future they must alter language. We must embrace the plot of the movie Arrival to prevent the conclusions of the movie The Matrix.
42:34 One important evolutionary constant is based on the concept of simplicity first (offering first opportunity for a further expansion, or learning process)/ after which because learning means also making mistakes, or lacking more information, it at the same time also forces an adaptation later on. Which must be more intelligent or complete (other word for complexity).
This same principle means at the time of coal, nobody would have written a book like what Marcello did. Nor at the time of Playboy and movie vamps like Marylin Monroe you would find any woke adversaries, unless in a cloister not being vocal about it 😊 Think about that. It proves the theory.
So your question is impracticle. It could not have happened.
released I hour ago. yet Marcelo just said his book would come out on March 5th!!! it is june2nd, 2024.
If you knew that our planet is conscious, would this alter your perspective of the world?
Storytelling, consciousness. Peace ✌️ 😎. The passing of information. That's consciousness. Without stories nothing changes. With the telling consciousness is measured and everything changes. That's consciousness. Peace ✌️ 😎. Computers can't tell stories they can be programmed. The brain does this without reason. That's consciousness. That's the answer to what's consciousness. Just sayin 🤷. You can try and make it a difficult question, but it's simple. Stories.
Einstein may be my mentor, the Wolfram brothers' check the math. The AI results trys and the scientific calculator @:
≈ attractive gravitational force between a hydrogen nucleus (proton) and its electron ( ≈ 3.6×10^-47 N ) = ((0.35 cosmological-quantum point mass c^2)/(1.0 α l_Λ))
31:52 ... I think he's talking to the animals...
No Brian, its conversation of God , Son and Holy Spirit.
Animals can't create. ... Let us make ... Genesis 11:7 Go to, *let us* go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
The communist manifesto is just not a good way to convince me to listen to an hour long video.
I've read about you guys in the epistle to the Romans:
Rom 1:18 - 22 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Ummmm ummmm ummmm with an upward inflection. And repeat. Ummm
humanity is hopeless. 😮😮😮. fermi’s paradox proves it.
For fermi´s paradox, there are a lo of explanations though...
Scientists gauging whether or not there is hope for humanity is truly laughable
I know right, one visit to the RUclips comment section to realize that humanity is indeed fucked.
Old story. They are conflating a tower of babel with humanity. Fascism would be a more modern/materialist or literal version of the story.
Well, they are our new lords. They kicked away their commitment to mere empirical/instrumental theories for predicting observable physical phenomena long time ago. Now they happen to be our new lords, who will decide stuff for us, define humanity for us, define meaning for us, valuations for us, beauty for us, ethics for us, politics for us, future for us. Bow down to your new church, the church of pseudo religion of "science".
@@saimbhat6243 There is nothing pseudo about it. One of the jobs of God is to define reality and science certainly does that
@@sdrc92126 "Reality"!? If calculating how fast and which direction a billiard ball will move when hit by another billiard ball is what you call THE reality. Then sure, science does tell us about reality. But what if defining what emotions and what feelings come to your heart when you fall in love with a beautiful lady is what I call THE reality. Then poetry does tell us about reality.
What is so special about finding equations that predict the evolution of observable physical phenomena, that makes it some different category of "truth" and "reality", than the "truth" and "reality" which a poet or musician or story teller or a stone mason deals with. You are just stating your judgement about what you think is important and you call it reality. I don't see any big deal about theories predicting observable physical phenomena. For me, a good poet is greater than a great scientist.
2,000,000,000,000 Galaxies some say. Let's say only 1,000,000,000,000 Galaxies. How can you or anyone say we maybe be it ? Based on our tiny, tiny, tiny tiny tiny. Well you get the idea. The investigated area in the known universe is ? Our capability in understanding is what ? 🥸
