Nuclear war...lol, you won't get a quick, clean death like that... There is enough arsenic left over from gold mining to completely kill off every living thing on earth, and it's stored below the water table... You clowns think you're so gosh darn smart, but you're like junkies with money and drugs, leaving your toxic equipment(rigs) just laying around, carelessly poisoning the ecology, like, meh, planetary ecologies, who knew they were so fragile?, lol, more petite fors?, hors dourves? Sturgeon caviar?
One thing we can say for certain, is there will be less people due to global rates of reproduction being far below replacement. Hard to say how that will effect specific places, but certainly we're looking at redrawn maps somewhere.
When you look at how people imagined the future 100 yeas ago , they were so off the mark it is funny, it was all based on tech they had then, they couldn't imagine a smart phone, or the internet. We have zero clue what earth will be like in 10,000 years, we can't imagine it. Hopefully this video will still be around in a hundred years to give people a chuckle.
As a plumber, repairs are an art, I'm never the first guy, well sometimes but, I remove the iron, copper and galvanized that someone thought would last. Civilization is only now getting it right.
Preparing for the future instead of playing around with carbon trading would mean the acceptance that humans have very little to do with climate change, so less reason to control and tax.
This is way too far into the future for any of us to really predict. I personally believe that we are in the middle of a trend that will prove almost impossible to reverse, which is rapidly declining fertility rates in the developed world. I also believe that AI and robotics are going to be a huge part of human civilization within our lifetime, I'm 34 btw. I think people severely underestimate how fast this is going to completely change the world as we know it. I can imagine a world where humans are cyborgs of some sort, we might physically be biological entities but we can get replacement parts that more or less keep us relatively young. Things like 3d printing will allow us to make organs, muscles, etc. With this said, I think there are a lot of cards on the table that honestly show that we could go extinct OR have a much smaller population. I also believe that the ruling elite feel they don't need so many bodies because of AI and automation, therefore there is no need for a large population.
The obelisk to which the professor refers is actually in Sioux City, Iowa, not Sioux Falls, SD. It is a common mistake to refer to one when actually meaning the other. The obelisk is the Sergeant Floyd Monument to Sgt. Floyd, who is the only member of the Lewis and Clark crew who died on the trip across the continent.
Just commented that I had no idea what he meant about Lewis and Clark cuz in Sioux Falls there is nothing named after them lol thanks for correcting him.
10 thousand years i think is too long to look ahead.. i think 500 years a thousand years.. i think within a thousand years well colonise the solar system and begin exploring nearby solar systems
There must always be an incentive or necessity as this podcast guest put it. So what's the incentive for us to "colonize the solar system"? What would we even do there, other than scientific purposes? One thing I can think of is to mine raw materials. However very large meteoroid have been shown to have way more supplies of rare metals so my bet is that we would have "meteoroid crackers" with a mining fleet providing employment.
I think we will be a space-based species ultimately. Traveling at first throughout our own Galaxy. And collecting resources on any planetary bodies and or asteroids
First of all it's important to note that technology doesn't automatically improve over time. For example, thousands of years ago the Egyptians, Maya indians and whoever else were building pyramids and great empires, but their technology didn't just continue to improve and improve over the last few thousand years. Matter of fact, it got absolutely halted and those civilizations either disappeared or had to start over. So regardless of how well the U.S., China, India or even humanity as a whole is doing right now, there's no guarantee that all this technology will just continue on a path of improvement. It could all falter, all of humanity could be wiped out by one cataclysmic event, or anything along those lines could happen. However, the good news is that in modern times, it's not just a few nations that have all the technology, it's pretty spread out globally because the internet and modern day communications, and so the more it's spread out the harder it is to be wiped out by one single event. Continuing with that logic, if humanity wants to survive for another 10,000 years and continue to improve in technology over that time, it's in our best interests to continue to spread out into the cosmos. Step 1 of that is colonizing our entire solar system. If we can accomplish that say within the next few hundred years, I'm fairly certain we'll be able to get to that 10,000 years into the future and be vastly more improved in our technologies.
A common misconception, but unless you really try to cherry pick, the trajectory of technology has been continuous improvement throughout human history, and globally. No one had to really start over when the Egyptians disappeared, as they did not disappear but were rather absorbed into another, more advanced Roman civilization, and then another more advanced Islamic one after that. Even after the classical period, the medieval period was one of massive technological advancement with the development of windmills, mechanical clocks, new mining and agricultural/irrigation technologies, gunpowder/cannons, printing press, gothic architecture, the list goes on... Every major civilization since the Egyptians has been more advanced than them. They were advanced for their time, and they could build very large triangular prisms, but every major civilization after them had the technology to do that too, plus even more impressive stuff in addition to that, they just chose not to build a tall triangle because they had no reason to do that and had figured out other more intricate and practical forms of architecture anyhow. The Maya, on the other hand, were particularly undeveloped, as they had hardly developed writing at a time when other civilizations had established global trade networks and increasingly complex machinery (like I mentioned, mechanical clocks were being invented while the mayans were still telling time -- somewhat accurately, granted -- with rocks the same way people in other parts of the world had done it thousands of years prior). Sure, there have been small, short-lived hiccups in specific places at various points, such as when Rome fell and formerly poor northern sections of empire were suddenly independent, they get off to a rocky start as they no longer benefit from the greater empire. Maybe there has been one or two rediscovered things that were forgotten, but the trajectory of mankind's technology overall has been virtually continuous advancement.
This might sound weird, but he did say to think with an open mind to how they might of thought… The puppy is a representation of a child, the very one that would be sacrificed for prosperity of whatever the Mayans felt dear! So, if the puppy is having sex with the Mayan, it would possibly mean that the culture felt the child was “reseeding” their spirit back into the spirit world so as to make long term ties to genetically gifted good human spirits. Perhaps the child sacrifice was bread for that very specific reason. That specific dates meant specific sacrifices based on the belief of what that day would bring to society. I’d like to know if mayans had a specific lesser deities associated with each day or each month? I’d be curious if there is a correlation of sacrifice and the day the human was born on in conjunction with the calendar.
Yeah we are on the cusp of being too stupid to handle the technology of today let alone in the future. We will destroy ourselves at some point, maybe a few hundred years tops left of human existence
Every human will be wearing corpse paint. Not because of playing or liking Black Metal,but because the ozone will be gone and skin protection will be necessary.
@@joshwells4280 What you say may be true,but I never underestimate the human tendency to crap where they eat.... so stock up on the black and white face paint.
The question on nuclear weapons is not a matter of if it will happen, it is when. And it will be within the next 100 years at the most. Could be tomorrow.
At some point a country will think they have an edge in a nuke war and will attempt to wipe out their opponents with one fell swoop. Not looking good for humanity
I think if it was going to happen, it would of happened 30 or 40 years ago, in other words, the further we go, the less likely it will happen as the human race matures.
I totally agree we need to stop fighting global warming it's happening. Look at Florida right now. We need to start working on ways to adapt to the changing planet.
@1:26... "The paradox of progress", is how I've known to describe technology advancements VS human fulfillment/Happiness/Health. The faster Technology develops, the faster humans work to keep up.
it's be a big rock. we aren't lasting another 10,000 years at this point with the way things are. enjoy your time here. it's really amazing that we have created such an amazing illusion of a civilization.
Physical books will probably not survive (unless they get housed in a special long-term oxidation case or chamber). However, this podcast clip could be discovered from a data archive maybe...
I wonder what future peoples would think about us if most of our history is lost. "Why didn't their law enforcement look into that P Diddy character sooner?"
Technology will continue to the point where resources run out. At this exponential rate it will be way before 10k years, maybe a few hundred. At that point we will start to revert to pre technology ways.
@@Art-is-craft lol technology needs more than gas and oil. Without certain minerals and metals technology can’t function. Then if you factor away from ‘tech’ and look at say agriculture… there are already resource based fertilisers that are being exhausted
@@DG-nn8zt Fertiliser can easily be created by oil or gas. But excluding that process there are several large natural deposits of minerals that can be used to aid agriculture.
Every thousand years This metal sphere Ten times the size of Jupiter Floats just a few yards past the Earth If you climb on your roof And take a swipe at it With a single feather Hit it once every thousand years 'til you've worn it down To the size of a pea Yeah, I'd say that's a long time But it's only half a blink… In the place we're going to be - _”Randy Described Eternity”_ - *_Built To Spill_*
@@DetectiveTrupo203 ruclips.net/video/cnU-2R4ohiE/видео.htmlsi=jUnnVJweuZJ6MI-m The Album itself-is one of the Best of the 90’s: But, that song-is just an absolute Masterpiece. You don’t “hear it”. You “experience it”.
@@DetectiveTrupo203 I tried to link the Song but it keeps getting deleted. Built To Spill - “Randy Described Eternity” The entire Album is a Masterpiece. I can’t recommend it enough.
Maybe some people live in Mars that time 😀. However never worry humans will evolve. Earth will be earth I think so. Everyone everything go back to the Earth to soil.
10k years from now there will be no record of our society existing in our current written form. Much less our homes or buildings, outside our granite and stone architecture. Let that sink in. After all, we are living closer to Cleopatra, than she did to the builders of the original pyramids of which there is no record of their daily life. After all, everyone I speak with says that the Original Pyramids are much , much older than we originally thought.
Maybe the year 2000 will be remembered as electricity/wireless technology/space in the year 12,000 (they won’t know it was actually 1800s they will have rounded up over the millennia)
That is the toughest question. When did the scientists really thought we could go to the Moon ? Not before early 1950. Discovered exo-planets ? 1992. Who predicted the Internet ? Asimov, probably… kind of… There is always a long gap between the new technology and its actual application. We all know electric cars started a 100 years ago. And still, we are only starting to exploit that technology on a large scale. Imagine AI Quantum computing in only 20 years from now… ? No need to talk about 10,000 years ahead, just 20 is enough to challenge anyone right now.
Hopefully are future distant relatives will figure out how to live longer than about 100 years if you're lucky. Also I hope Mankind will learn to live together. The sooner we can work together the better off will be. Then we can stop just surviving. When we do that we all can start thriving and innovating.
Let’s be honest, we are super close to taking ourselves out. Find something or someone you love and who loves you, I think we’ll find our answers on the other side.
The “other side” is where you were before you were born. Any memories you care to share? No? You didn’t exist. Now you exist. And then, you won’t exist.
Why does everyone want a garden? Gardens are very uncomfortable in winter. They are full of bugs. What's up with the whole garden idea? What's the attraction?
i feel like AI will be able to take all the histories, all the creation myths, all the records and data from ice core samples to fossil records, and give us some pretty detailed outcomes for the next 10,000 years. i’m excited for that answer…
@@Art-is-craft Must have been known for his jokes I guess. And quite possibly, knowledge has been wiped out before in history. And we have never even had a nuclear war. If (and that’s a big if) all nukes on earth were launched 99.9% of humanity would be wiped out. And most of the planet would be uninhabitable for the next few hundred years.
Adapting to the climate changing and reversing it are often solved by the same solutions. Renewable energy can reduce the impacts of climate change and increase our resilience to intensifying weather.
So how are we going to geoengineer out of the climate crisis that is going to make the world inhabitable to humans, because we got a few decades left before it will be too hot. We should be building underground homes with gardens and solar power on the top, painting all concrete white, making every empty space green (or native plants), and figure out how to stop the warming through geoengineering. Sadly, we are running out of time on the climate. Love Lex's podcast!
Well in year 2182 Earth is supposed to be hit with a empire state building size astroid that'll probably knock Earth back a bit...so in 10000 years it'll probably be a sub class 1 civilization
Bruh, we are already at the point where we can hit asteroids with satellites. And recent math shows nuking astroids really works based on that experiment. Something the size of empire state building would be blown into 1000000 bits or knocked off course easily.
There are 4 links and an abstract about him and specifically his podcast in the description. Its not that difficult. Just press “more”, and press the links
Set we have been around in various forms for millions of years. Do we tap out of the brave survival struggle of the ancestors. Just because we are at a hard junction. Do or die, sink or swim, this is the way of life and the path of evolution. That is not even just about we but just the way it is.
End times. Abraham n Sarah. 2,000 years. Daniel 9.25 7x7 n 62x7: 483 years. Crucifixion, Death n Ressurection. 2,000 years. Daniel 9.27 2x42 months. The Return of Our Lord. Millennial Reign of Christ. 2,000 years. The End
It would be a wild trip to be able to visit 10,000 years from now.. If we dont destroy ourselves Im certain itll be un recognizable.. as in we wont be able to to describe what we see.
10K years from now we will be living in space on starships and have soooo many planets colonized and redone to our wants. Maybe we will have our own planets we own?
so lex the question you raise is is intentional suffering okto progress, or should progression be left to happen organically (ie the internet is darpa, therefore not organic, as the govt did not represent the people here when intriducing it to us) or is there a middle ground, and if so what would that look like to you?

What do you think earth will look like in 10,000 years?
“think we’ll be a lot more automated” man that’s some brilliant insight
Turned it off after that and went to comments. Can’t see this guy coming up with something insightful if that’s his first comment 😂
Facts.
😂😂😂😂😂
That's the exact thought that came into my head
Statue of Diddy instead of Statue of Liberty probably (hopefully)
in 10,000 years i would be 10037 years old. With modern meds, new technology, anti aging and good genetics i hope to make it.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol
I’ll be celebrating my 10022nd birthday we can have a joint party if u wanna
When will we have longevity escape velocity
@@johnathoncastro just eat nutty pudding for the rest of your life like Bryan Johnson lol
We don’t know what will happen in 100 years much less than 10,000.
100% at this rate, we don't know what's going to happen in 2025
One thing we can say for certain, is there will be less people due to global rates of reproduction being far below replacement. Hard to say how that will effect specific places, but certainly we're looking at redrawn maps somewhere.
no shit
I’d say we don’t know tomorrow
It doesn't matter what happens if you don't know what happens
I know for sure the soft serve ice cream machines at McDonald's will be out of service
Best comment!
It's amazing how good you are predicting the future!
100% 😂😂😂
Hilarious
“I’m an optimist” maybe they’ll be in every kitchen around the earth & mars.
10,000 years is a long time from a human perspective, its a blink of an eye to the universe.
Really enjoyed this guest, I could listen to him for hours
And do what to yourself
@@isaacchapman393 enlighten yourself?
why disscuss about 10k years later jesus is 2k years before this is nonsense should have been talk about things more logical like 50-100years later
Agreed. Lex has a wonderful mind.
Get a room.😂
"I think it'll be a lot more automated" LOL
Like come on 😂
I bet you can not see that.
Imagine a point so far into the future that the notion of automating things is archaic.
Made me laugh out loud.. YOU don’t say
Okay genius
I hope that in 10,000 years dogs can talk.
I hope that in 10,000 years frogs can walk.
Might just be one of those things we never get around to doing.
its likely AI will greatly advance human - animal communication
I hope that in 10,000 years hogs can caulk.
10,000 years from now I’m sure civilizations would restart, current biosphere would be version 5
When you look at how people imagined the future 100 yeas ago , they were so off the mark it is funny, it was all based on tech they had then, they couldn't imagine a smart phone, or the internet. We have zero clue what earth will be like in 10,000 years, we can't imagine it. Hopefully this video will still be around in a hundred years to give people a chuckle.
Exactly!! 💯
We can you just need to watch Star Trek
I never realized Paul Giamatti was so insightful!

@@ash9x9 There doesn't need to be a mass extinction for humans to go extinct.
Maybe, but we've made it for 10,000 years with a LOT less than we have today.
Yes, I am so worry, i conld not get any sleep.
In 150 years we will be like Mad max thunder dome
And water world in 10,000 years from all the ice melting
Video games will be more realistic
We could probably create a simulation of the entire universe by then, and the npc's would think their reality is actually real 😉

I think about this once a week. What a great question
“More automated”😂
Sage Francis said : "...and in the future, scientists will prove that we never even existed..."
10 thousand years i think is too long to look ahead.. i think 500 years a thousand years.. i think within a thousand years well colonise the solar system and begin exploring nearby solar systems
And the residents of the belt will be exploited by the inner planets

Yeah we are on the cusp of being too stupid to handle the technology of today let alone in the future. We will destroy ourselves at some point, maybe a few hundred years tops left of human existence

In 10000 years times humans will be travelling the stars. And humans will look and act differently.
Or not..
In one of my stores, we build a space station around the Earth, like a death star but this endeavor happens a lot faster than ten thousand years.
I hope that in 10 000 years we can finally get along or at the very least have another species take over thats less self destructive
Every human will be wearing corpse paint. Not because of playing or liking Black Metal,but because the ozone will be gone and skin protection will be necessary.
I’m wearing a skin suit right now. Trend setter
So a civilisation that wears skin tight suits will not be able to repair or engineer the atmosphere.
You just described today. Every doctor says that you must put on sunscreen before spending any amount of time in the sun. The end has already arrived
The ozone hole is currently mostly healed
@@joshwells4280 What you say may be true,but I never underestimate the human tendency to crap where they eat.... so stock up on the black and white face paint.
The question on nuclear weapons is not a matter of if it will happen, it is when. And it will be within the next 100 years at the most. Could be tomorrow.
At some point a country will think they have an edge in a nuke war and will attempt to wipe out their opponents with one fell swoop. Not looking good for humanity
Nope. Unless some crazy group gets hold of them and has the ability to launch them on a global scale it will not happen.
Your cups half empty. You'd be a great fit in the1950's where that thought was most prevalent in our history, Yet I respect your opinion.
I think if it was going to happen, it would of happened 30 or 40 years ago, in other words, the further we go, the less likely it will happen as the human race matures.
The further we go in time, the more likely it is that one of the 9 nations with nuclear weapons will use them. In the 1950s it was only 3 countries.
It is crazy how much development has happened in the last 100 to 200 years. Not sure if it will continue at the same pace or not
I hope in 10000 years we get cat girls 😂
10k years I'll finally have a girlfriend
Someone's optimistic!
Sounds like a late night dorm room question to me. How about, we can remember the past but why can’t we remember the future…
I totally agree we need to stop fighting global warming it's happening. Look at Florida right now. We need to start working on ways to adapt to the changing planet.
Who tf knows.

Ai has already realized humans are detrimentally destroying earth 😅
AI doesn’t require air, water or soil to be of a certain quality. Logically, biomes outside of where AI exists are of little consequence to AI.
@@Group_Anonymous no we aren’t lol
Better just hope we're still around
We either all ascend or we become Mad Max.
@1:26... "The paradox of progress", is how I've known to describe technology advancements VS human fulfillment/Happiness/Health. The faster Technology develops, the faster humans work to keep up.
Beautiful question brow, beautiful stuffs
In 10,000 years we will be deep into the next ice age cycle, and that will be definitely a big challenge
As we have climate change - you don't know when next ice age will occur.
@@gehwissen3975 It will happen when ready despite human impacts. Your hubris is laughable.
@@gehwissen3975 yeah because we can control the sun right?

it's be a big rock. we aren't lasting another 10,000 years at this point with the way things are. enjoy your time here. it's really amazing that we have created such an amazing illusion of a civilization.
Physical books will probably not survive (unless they get housed in a special long-term oxidation case or chamber). However, this podcast clip could be discovered from a data archive maybe...
I wonder what future peoples would think about us if most of our history is lost.
"Why didn't their law enforcement look into that P Diddy character sooner?"
look how much things have changed in the last 150 years and how little we know about 2,000 years ago. 10,000 is a stretch
I like this guy. “I think there talking about corn and they’re talking about the nature of life.
Technology will continue to the point where resources run out. At this exponential rate it will be way before 10k years, maybe a few hundred. At that point we will start to revert to pre technology ways.
US , Russia, Saudi, Argentina, Venezuela and so on have centuries of oil and gas. Not anytime soon.
@@Art-is-craft lol technology needs more than gas and oil. Without certain minerals and metals technology can’t function. Then if you factor away from ‘tech’ and look at say agriculture… there are already resource based fertilisers that are being exhausted
@@DG-nn8zt
Fertiliser can easily be created by oil or gas. But excluding that process there are several large natural deposits of minerals that can be used to aid agriculture.
What a question to ponder
Ed has the best podcast voice. Its so smooth to listen to, besides his content
Every thousand years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Floats just a few yards past the Earth
If you climb on your roof
And take a swipe at it
With a single feather
Hit it once every thousand years
'til you've worn it down
To the size of a pea
Yeah, I'd say that's a long time
But it's only half a blink…
In the place we're going to be

Built To Spill - “Randy Described Eternity”
The entire Album is a Masterpiece.
I can’t recommend it enough.
Maybe some people live in Mars that time 😀. However never worry humans will evolve. Earth will be earth I think so. Everyone everything go back to the Earth to soil.
Look at movies such as A.I. , Alita, Star Wars, Star Trek etc.. 10,000 year’s from now we’ll be somewhere there ☝🏻
10k years from now there will be no record of our society existing in our current written form. Much less our homes or buildings, outside our granite and stone architecture. Let that sink in. After all, we are living closer to Cleopatra, than she did to the builders of the original pyramids of which there is no record of their daily life. After all, everyone I speak with says that the Original Pyramids are much , much older than we originally thought.
Maybe the year 2000 will be remembered as electricity/wireless technology/space in the year 12,000 (they won’t know it was actually 1800s they will have rounded up over the millennia)
10,000? Let’s make it past the next 10 first lmao
That is the toughest question. When did the scientists really thought we could go to the Moon ? Not before early 1950.
Discovered exo-planets ? 1992. Who predicted the Internet ? Asimov, probably… kind of…
There is always a long gap between the new technology and its actual application. We all know electric cars started a 100 years ago. And still, we are only starting to exploit that technology on a large scale. Imagine AI Quantum computing in only 20 years from now… ?
No need to talk about 10,000 years ahead, just 20 is enough to challenge anyone right now.
Hopefully are future distant relatives will figure out how to live longer than about 100 years if you're lucky. Also I hope Mankind will learn to live together. The sooner we can work together the better off will be. Then we can stop just surviving. When we do that we all can start thriving and innovating.
Let’s be honest, we are super close to taking ourselves out. Find something or someone you love and who loves you, I think we’ll find our answers on the other side.
The “other side” is where you were before you were born. Any memories you care to share? No? You didn’t exist. Now you exist. And then, you won’t exist.
It will be turned back into a Paradise! Like it originally was. A Garden of Eden.
Why does everyone want a garden? Gardens are very uncomfortable in winter. They are full of bugs.
What's up with the whole garden idea? What's the attraction?
Wonder how long ago he came to Sioux Falls because we have almost nothing I can think of here named after Lewis and Clark. Think he means Yankton
What have we left behind that would survive the passage of time? Not very much.
Did a great job with this guest, Lex! Solid choice my friend.
i feel like AI will be able to take all the histories, all the creation myths, all the records and data from ice core samples to fossil records, and give us some pretty detailed outcomes for the next 10,000 years. i’m excited for that answer…
What happens after we desalinate the oceans?
Bold of you to assume humans won’t be back to the Stone Age after the nukes drop…
So will the nukes wipe science and knowledge as well?
@@Art-is-craft”I know not with what weapons world war 3 will be fought, but world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.” - Albert Einstein
@@wethepeople1489
That was a joke from Einstein. But would it wipe out knowledge.
@@Art-is-craft Must have been known for his jokes I guess. And quite possibly, knowledge has been wiped out before in history. And we have never even had a nuclear war. If (and that’s a big if) all nukes on earth were launched 99.9% of humanity would be wiped out. And most of the planet would be uninhabitable for the next few hundred years.
I cant wait for 10000 year old dank memes and talsh talk
Adapting to the climate changing and reversing it are often solved by the same solutions. Renewable energy can reduce the impacts of climate change and increase our resilience to intensifying weather.
So how are we going to geoengineer out of the climate crisis that is going to make the world inhabitable to humans, because we got a few decades left before it will be too hot. We should be building underground homes with gardens and solar power on the top, painting all concrete white, making every empty space green (or native plants), and figure out how to stop the warming through geoengineering. Sadly, we are running out of time on the climate. Love Lex's podcast!
You sound like al gore with the histrionics...
@@joshwells4280 Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated!
I like this guy. Very humble and knowledgeable
I'm trying to make it to Friday
He wants to integrate the metal with the clay. So we don't need to breath air or drink water. They'll do it too. It's written
Well in year 2182 Earth is supposed to be hit with a empire state building size astroid that'll probably knock Earth back a bit...so in 10000 years it'll probably be a sub class 1 civilization
Not if we break it into a million little pieces before it gets here.
@@davidasher22or land on it and change its direction
@@NeckNotes maybe we could even get Bruce Willis to do it!
Bruh, we are already at the point where we can hit asteroids with satellites.
And recent math shows nuking astroids really works based on that experiment.
Something the size of empire state building would be blown into 1000000 bits or knocked off course easily.
But will cod 6 be out?
This guy needs his own podcast.
There are 4 links and an abstract about him and specifically his podcast in the description.
Its not that difficult. Just press “more”, and press the links
I truly don’t think none of this is real and we are just in a video game
The scary thing is technology is advancing faster than it can be regulated and controlled.
In 10,000 years, will they know that the year is 12,024?
How many text books or fraudulent histories will have been written in that time
Did you hear about Tartaria ?
Using technology for research management and not having politicians, fixing / dismantaling political systems.
That is a technocratic system. Which you would not want to live under.
@@Art-is-craftwhy not
I have seen enough to prove we will not last that long. Some might survive and start a new. But what we know won't even last another 100 years.
Set we have been around in various forms for millions of years. Do we tap out of the brave survival struggle of the ancestors. Just because we are at a hard junction.
Do or die, sink or swim, this is the way of life and the path of evolution. That is not even just about we but just the way it is.

Here's a question. Who 10k years ago came closest to what the world is like today?
Without a functioning dynamo, the magnetic field of the Earth will decay in a geologically short time period of roughly 10,000 years. -Wikipedia
Not the best “thinker” guest by a long shot
It will be more automated lmfao 😂😂
1. We will still believe in god.
2. For sure download different languages etc straight to our brains
3. Hopefully America stops bombing the world
@0:33 he said " nuc-u-lar" war.
It's " nuclear"
Ok who cares.. you know what he meant...
It will look the same. We will be an ancient civilization.
2 pillars of Lex's sucess . First is cool dark suit , second is RUclips algoritm pushing it .

10,000 years is not far, I think the earth will finally be warming up after a long younger dryas event
It would be a wild trip to be able to visit 10,000 years from now.. If we dont destroy ourselves Im certain itll be un recognizable.. as in we wont be able to to describe what we see.
10K years from now we will be living in space on starships and have soooo many planets colonized and redone to our wants. Maybe we will have our own planets we own?
10000 from now they’re basically saying the Tower of Babel will be built.
“It will be a lot more automated.” Wow genius!
"It will be older"
Desalination, thats the ticket. Just keep using the ocean water as the ice melts. Make scene to me 🤷
There are multiple ways to desalinize water, thats not much of a concern
so lex the question you raise is is intentional suffering okto progress, or should progression be left to happen organically (ie the internet is darpa, therefore not organic, as the govt did not represent the people here when intriducing it to us) or is there a middle ground, and if so what would that look like to you?
We'll be here in 10,000 years, but we won't be as technically advanced as we are now, in my opinion.
I bet we still don’t have flying cars and haven’t left this solar system.
