If there's too much of a certain species of animal, there'll be a new disease to tidy it all up. I don't necessarily applaud it, nor would I want to die from such a disease, but it's nature. You can't fight it. It's just how it is.
      It's just like Carlin said, Earth will be fine. It's almost disingenuous of us. We say we want to 'save the planet', but it doesn't need saving. Stopping climate change is only for our own good.

      atheists r that way because they havent done the research, nor explored, while many r simply 'angry' at how could god allow bla bla. This is ignorant of the bible's teachings, that humans have free will. period. Atheists believe man is the center or top. Rubbish. Thats socialist philosophy in disguise. A 100% failed ideology to boot. I have seen numerous research, & experienced more than enough 'otherworldly' things to know, not hope or wish, something bigger than us exists. And im an analyst by trade using science.

      They're actually very focused on diversity equity inclusion because of investor ratings. You must have noticed this? They're still profit driven so they say all these things but still fire people at the drop of a hat in America when things get bad. You'd think they'd want to work on workers rights if they're flying these flags about caring about people. The problem is, you've got Facebook and Google wanting to censor hate speech which is wrong because of the question - WHO DECIDES WHAT IS HATE SPEECH. So hearing Fry talk about it in such a calm and affable way is mildly terrifying to me whilst the major corporations are deciding what we're allowed to talk about

    • @brigwood7658
      @brigwood7658 5 месяцев назад

      I had a philosopher friend who left her lecturing position to work for a major corporation (big money too) as the supposed 'resident ethicist'. In the initial brief she was told her job would basically be to 'present the ethical pros the cons of given position', the best arguments for both sides of a given dilemma, and where possible, provide them with 'the most ethical course of action' - all things considered. After which they could then made their 'big decision'.
      And so much for that.
      Firstly: nearly all the issues presented to her rarely required an 'expert ethicist' i.e. at best, they simply warranted little more that an 'intro to ethics for dummies' overview of the the positions presented'; and in the rare case where the issues were more complex and/or demanding on their time (requiring genuine effort on their part to 'fully appreciate and get their heads around' ), then it was seen as 'her failure to sufficiently communicate' the position in question. But, she told me, for the most part the supposed 'ethical course of action' was essentially a 'no brainer', clear from the outset, if even an issue to start with!
      Secondly: When she did provide her assessment, even if it was a 'no brainer'/'clear form the outset' (etc), it turned out to have 'little to no' bearing on their actual decision! I.e it was had already been made (was never up for debate to start with), the wheels already in motion - after which they would wheel her out to 'do her thing', they could then 'tick the box' and then say "our decision on such matters is ethically informed". Needless to say, she left the 'real world' and returned to the tower.

      Listen to Stephen. He is calling them 'Currents', I'm calling them Tides.
      A King Tide is heading our way, in fact; more like a tsunami of profound change, that we are not ready for - not even looking at clearly. Comprised of several waves of new technologies that are developing seperately/independantly funded - but converging to pour in together - flooding our communities - with only the profit motive guiding them.
      Fry says: We are like children playing on the beach with our back to the sea- and out in the sea there are various currents- all heading in towards us.
      He identifies these as:
      * Bio-augmentation
      * Brain / Machine Interfacing
      * Quantum Computing
      * AI (of different kinds)
      * New materials - Nano materials
      * Genomics - & Gene Editing
      ALL of these Technologies - Which are EACH TRANSFORMATIVE - ON THEIR OWN - are like separate swells in the ocean - that are combining to make a gigantic Tsunami. Their confluence all changing each other- in ways we (and their makers ) have yet to understand.
      And changing us in ways we also cannot begin to fathom.
      Not only AI, but including AI, all of the above new tech's are coming in with increasing momentum, and with no effective overarching Industry or Government or International Regulation - to keep these in check, to take a over view. No capacity or independant mechanism to press the Pause button, to slow it all down, create safety nets, until we can identify all the intended, and unintended, consequences and protect humanity from potential harms. We simply don't know what these are capable of, or within what timeframes, and remember; and they're in private enterprise / elites hands. Some of whom genuinely believe THEY know what is best for the human race! Which is even MORE worrying.

      20 million killed in war by allies up to 80 total if you can streach it a ww2 up to 80 million in total says woakee paedoa wikia

      100 million mao, all by himself! no the black book UNDERREPORTS communism dummby! [not you maybe;)]
      100s million CRUSADES of CATHOLIC empire and MUSLIM WARS mind you they did "crusades" too called it something more dif in ARABIC i guess
      up to 200 million just for the JIIIIIIIIIIIII HAAADS!
      ~400 million just in marxism wars in 20th century!
      but PUT IT ALL TOGETHER and it is NOTHING TO COMPARE TO THE LARGEST GENOCIDE IN HUMAN HISTORY well it is like ha 500 mill so about 1/4 or way less
      it is IMPOSSIBLE? to guestimate exactly but estimates are from 10,000 bc to now and 500 years ago
      500 years ago to now probably 2-4 BILLION ded
      10,000 - nowey an we are talking about MISSING HALF OF ALL HUMAS WHO LIVED MAYBE EVEN WITHOUT ALL WARS wowwee
      do the math, if those babies hadn't been murdered the ones who would have reproduced would have so on..
      we could have 16-34 BILLION PPL RIGHT NOW!
      cuz it is compounded expoential esstial
      LARGEST IN HUMAN HISTORY
      ppl think they are better than their ANCESTORS
      ancestors had slaves

    I only ever had two jobs I truly loved: the first was Bus Conducting (as a seasonal student Bus-Conductor in East Kent). The second was managing a small Lincolnshire ecclesiastical and academic robe-making company, where I was responsible for obtaining orders, designing applique-work, designing a new catalogue, doing the book-keeping, posting our products, and doing everything to turn the Company around and provide employment for myself, and eight women. It was the creativity which appealed to me. I later entered the Nursing 'profession', following personal encounters with AIDS; where 'creativity' consisted in maintaining an 'academic' interest in Nursing, with articles being published, and so forth. It is where you feel most 'valued', that you will also enjoy your work, in my opinion.

      Allow me to add my ten cents. Before retirement, I spent 42 years working in oil/gas exploration as a geophysicist, and I absolutely loved it. I travelled the world, soaking up many cultures in the process, and on a technical level I taught colleagues, solved problems along the way. At the same time, my local car mechanic also loves his job - he knows cars, and he knows how to fix them. He also prides himself on his knowledge and obviously enjoys helping his clients. So it is possible to enjoy your work.

    I retired 12 years ago from a career in Chemistry. Then read advanced textbooks, like Solid State Chemistry, Quantum Mechanics, and numerous other subjects that involved Energy. I came across a Nobel Prize winning way to increase electromagnetic fields this was ‘Negative Refractive Indexed Metamaterials’. I realized that this was the pathway to splitting water for liquid-phase plasma.
