Homo Deus

Yuval Harari, who works for the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab's little minion boy.

He wrote a book called Homo Deus, and it's all in there.

They want to merge us into the machines.

Elon Musk has the Neuralink.

The guy has sold millions of books.

His book, Homo Deus, has sold 30 million copies.

Oh, wow.

So this is not like some marginal dude.

But the question is, you know, can you tell us, first of all, what is this Deus Narans? What's the future with it or its future look like?

This came out of conversations with Yasuhiko shortly after Harari published his book called Homo Deus.

And so Harari was pointing out that humans had been very branchy.

before Homo sapiens came on the scene.

And I remember her first time, yes, I heard her say, something about what will come after us.

And I was like, whoa, I never thought of that.

What will come after us? And now we say, although I was, I mean, also then and my career was in AI, but I didn't look at it like, what will come after us? But now, of course, AI changes the homo Deus evolutionary game and humanity becomes an ancestor to these new forms of intelligences beyond us.

So my question is, what's your take on this? What do you most want from those future beings? Or what should we...

There's an attempt to erode this part of, of our experience as human beings.

And in a book years ago that came out, I don't even know when it came out, but Yuval Harari wrote this great book called Homo Deus, which means human gods.

And in the book, he talked about that the wars of the future were not going to be hot wars necessarily.

They weren't going to be the traditional World War II style, go to battle, rally the troops, go in and shoot guns and drop bombs.

Now, I'm really not about to debate capitalism versus other economic models in the world, because, well, I don't want to start a war.

In his book about the future of human civilization, Homo Deus, historian Yuval Noah Harari notes that, Although we experience occasional economic crises and international wars, in the long run, capitalism has not only managed to prevail, but also to overcome famine, plague, and war.

In fact, in modern times, we have experienced so much economic growth that today more people die of eating too much than eating not enough.

It turns out we have a little too much stuff sometimes, and that too much stuff isn't produced out of nothing.

it's fine.

So there's a concept in one of Yuval Noah Harari's books, Homo Deus.

Okay.

It's towards the end of the book, and it just really spoke to me because it's about data-ism.

And, and I think with The Rational Optimist, you started to see the same kind of things, that he was being drawn into the world of science, the world of, you know.

And now when I read back The Rational Optimist, I don't really see it very different to, uh, um, Yuval, uh, Harari's, uh, you know, Homo Deus.

I think that-

Yeah
