No, who said collectivist? I specifically said post-scarcity, and I think that's what the other viewer was talking about as well - which is a future beyond the narrow socioeconomic paradigms we are familiar with, technology and innovation, not any political ideology collectivist or otherwise, driving economic activity and human progress. I do sincerely hope you look into post-scarcity, with an open mind, and try not to shoe horn it into an established socioeconomic paradigm. It won't fit.
Hm, those are just some censored pictures. Real problem to me seems to be that research regarding BENG is founded by private corporations. So progress is limited to profitable areas and thus hindered and crippled at its very core. I rather work on reshaping society into a system where research is free, independent and used to improve peoples lifes.
People wouldn't work "for free," I think what he's trying to say is that the socioeconomic paradigm would change what we saw as an adequate payment. Do some research into post-scarcity, I think you will find it interesting and realize in the future we will still get paid, just not in dollars and cents.

It would have been nice if there were attached ppts for reference as well sans the copy righted part.
it would be great were there links to the readings - or a bibliography since much might be under copyright
there are no slides here or on the webpage link. Nothing is actually being said in this lecture, or the 1 st.
This is superboring. I'm not learning anything new. We did all this already in molecular biology. When is the "engineering" part going to come in?
These videos show only the professor but not what is on the slide! Show slides to make lecture more useful.
great but we really need those 'removed images' to follow this (it's just like the MIT Pod Casts that need the slide show).

MIT sounds cool
@citizenkahn1 There are! Check Google for MIT's OpenCourseWare. This course is one of them :)
