I'd like to think if I saw dr. Jim Gates hiking on a mountain my eyes would go wide to but not because of the color of the skin. He is one of my heroes. I have followed his work for years and like many other great physicist, he is a man who should be celebrated.
The last time someone tried to tell people the truth about our reality, he got nailed on a cross. Which reminds me to... Two aliens roaming the galaxy in search for intelligent life - passing by Earth after 2014 years again. Alien1: "Hey! Looks like humans are final intelligent!" Alien2: "No, they are not." Alien1: "But look - they have advanced combat satellites now!" Alien2: "Yes but they targeting themselves." It's a shame - the current mindset of mankind can be explained in 5 rows of text. Depressing at best >.
+vedametatron Its funny because it's an ill conceived joke with a narrow view. That's not to say he/she/it isn't intelligent as a being. Why because to think humanity as a collective is self destructive is absurd. Its more than safe to say the majority of the world is not looking to war with each other, live off others suffering, resources, or be human resources themselves. Yes many are automatons not thinking clearly (those that contribute to the production of these destructive devices) and are being herded, because most are just trying to survive in the pawn game. But, I'd bet my physical body that if the game/code was never created we as a collective would not be in this self destructive sheeplism conundrum.
If we are living in a simulated universe perhaps created by our future ancestors, his discovery could be the start of string theorists actually inventing the world in which we live in. Does that make any sense?!
James Benton Ticer By naturalistic you mean natural evolution of a machine, evolution of an A.I.? Would be a surprise for many if God is a machine - Jesus: "When you see one who was not born of woman, fall on your faces and worship. That one is your Father." - Just a thought, 2000 years ago no one could understand if Jesus said: "We are living in a quantum computer simulation - in a video game. At the end there'll be a final boss, a destroyer you can choose." ^^ The God question becomes more and more relevant, especially now that we are becoming gods ourselves (see *Richard Seed*, *Technological Singularity*). At some point we'll create, design life (by DNA design and simulated) but what will people like *Richard Seed* do if his creations become Gods too - would he allow competition? We'll know soon - and I'm sure most will be surprised.
James Benton Ticer It's like saying perhaps you could find the point of origin where matter emerges into being within a matter simulation. Completely unaware that it could just simply render. Could a sentient simulation ever hope to completely understand the nature of the machine, the code, and even the programmer? The story of Tron is a good example of this line of thinking. Some of those rendered beings might vainly argue the certainty of their supposed knowledge that there is no programmer. It is impossible to prove that the code wrote itself, and requires a leap of faith in another direction.
This man fascinates me, one of the most academically courageous men I know of.
I could listen to him for hours.
Jim Gates is just super cool.

Sylvester James Gates Jr. great man and very under rated Physicist of are time
Marcus Jordan word.
What a wonderful story of insight, parental love, and enlightenment. He has a voice that welcomes you to listen and to learn.
Great speech! Jim is the man!
What a man !!! Hes a legend !!!
I liked the talk and I like the man.
What a beautifully told story. Lol I grew up mormon, laughed when they made a cameo. Thank you sir, for sharing this part of your story.
Me too! Hello sister! Haha
Fantastic story great story teller
Jim Gates and neil degrasse Tyson my 2 favorite Scientist and I am white
Why does skin color have anything to do with it?
I like that hippie vibe.
I have been listening to him a while now, i well spoken man.
+Rickvsnewworldorder And that surprises you because he is black??? Just kidding, not a sjw
Rickvsnewworldorder whutchu meen bi dat?...."You speak so well!" I've been hearing that from white folks all of my life. Smfh.
excellent human being - one of my heros
Awesome.
Powerful

😲😮make your own trail! holy! omg. That's the point; that's the key!
Great t-shirt!
I am proud of you baby
DEEEEP.....
Im from Iceland and it seems he is talking about Akureyri!
you can make a movie out of this talk
I think his name is James, not Jim. But never the less thanks for posting.
is he Jim Gates or James Gates?
both
yellowpanda04 Yes.
Make your own trail got it..
why the Moth; I've had a dream it said the Moth men?? awakening? string theory? super symmetry?
DR. JAMES GATES I STILL THINK YOU ARE A GREAT GUY. SPEAK ABOUT TGE CALIBU YAU. I BOUGHT THE BOOK BY BRAIN GREENE
Nice, but he could have done without the god thing.
Who ever created the code is God.
Rickvsnewworldorder No 'one' created the code. It is all naturalistic. We can prove this.

James Benton Ticer You are just a typical anti-theist. You always have to hate on people who believe in God. You are weak and very insecure.
Sucks on his mouth. VERY ANNOYING!!!
I could not watch it.
Thanks for the relevant comment genius.
