00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.320
The first time we talked, you
said you would, which is surreal to

2
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.640
think that this discussion was happening,
is becoming a reality. I asked you,

3
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.400
what question would you ask an AGII
system once you create it? And

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:20.839
you said, what's outside the simulation
is the question? Good question? Yeah,

5
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:26.879
but it seems like with grog you
start literally the system's goal is to

6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.359
be able to ask such questions,
to answer such questions, and to ask

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.840
such questions. Where are the aliens? Are the aliens? That's one of

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:39.520
the like the Femi paradox question.
A lot of people have asked me if

9
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:43.679
I've seen any evidence of aliens,
and I haven't, which is kind of

10
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:49.920
concerning because then I think I probably
preferred at least have seen some archeological evidence

11
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.280
of aliens. To the best of
my knowledge, there is no matter if

12
00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.759
any evidence of aliens out there.
They're very subtle. We might just be

13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:06.719
the only consciousness, at least in
the galaxy. And if you look at

14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.280
say the history of Earth, wants
to believe the archaeological record Earth is about

15
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.079
four and a half billion years old. Civilization as measured from the first writing

16
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.400
is only about five thousand years old. We have to give some credit there

17
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.319
to the ancient Sumerians who aren't around
anymore. I think it was an archaic

18
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.400
pre cuneiform. It was the first
actual symbolic representation, but only about five

19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.439
thousand years ago. I think that's
a good date for when we'd say civilization

20
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:42.640
started. That's one millionth of Earth's
existence. So civilization has been around.

21
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:56.280
It's really a flash in the pan
so far. And why have we But

22
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.120
why did it take so long?
For you know, fore a half million

23
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.120
years for the vast majority of the
time, there was no life, and

24
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:14.479
then there was archaic bacteria for a
very long time, and then you know,

25
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:23.120
he had mitochondria get captured, multi
cellular life, differentiation into plants and

26
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:30.639
animals, life moving from the oceans
to the land, mammals, higher brain

27
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:39.680
functions. And the Sun is expanding
slowly, but it will, it will

28
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.639
overheat, it will it will heat
heat the Earth up at some point in

29
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.000
the future, boil the oceans,
and Earth will become like Venus, where

30
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.879
no life. Life as we know
it is impossible. So if we do

31
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:01.439
not become multiplanetary and ultimately go Viana
Solar system, annihilation of all life on

32
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:08.240
Earth is a certainty. A certainty, and it could be as little as

33
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.479
on the galactic timescale, a half
a billion years. You know, it's

34
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.560
a long time by human standards,
but that's only ten percent longer than Earth

35
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.080
has been around at all. So
if if if life had taken ten percent

36
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:35.039
longer to evolve on Earth, it
wouldn't exist at all. We've got a

37
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.960
deadline coming up. Better hurry.
But that said, as you said,

38
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:45.800
humans intelligent life on Earth developed a
lot of cool stuff very quickly. So

39
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.639
yes, it seems like becoming a
multiplanetary is almost inevitable. Oh, let's

40
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.039
be destroyed. We need to do
it. I mean, it's it's not.

41
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.120
I mean, I suspect that they're
they're If we are able to go

42
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.919
out there and explore other star systems
that we there's a good chance we find

43
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.759
a whole bunch of long dead one
planet civilizations. They never made it past

44
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.599
their home planet. That's so sad. Yeah, also fascinating. I mean,

45
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.279
there are very explanations for the peri
paradox, and one is just the

46
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:24.759
sort of there's these great filtures which
civilizations don't pass through. And one of

47
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:29.519
those great filtures is do you become
a multiplanet civilization or not. And if

48
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.399
you don't, it's simply a matter
of time before something happens on your planet,

49
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.480
you know, either natural man made
that causes us to die out.

50
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:47.399
Like the dinosaurs, where are they
now? They didn't have spaceships. So

51
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.720
I think the more likely thing is
because it's just empathize with the aliens that

52
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.879
they they found us and they're protecting
us and letting us be so Nicelylliams,

53
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.319
just like the tribes in the in
the Amazon, the don contacted tribes were

54
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.959
protecting them. It would be a
nice explanation, or you could have like,

55
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.120
what was it? I think Andrakapathi
said, it's like the ants and

56
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.879
the Amazon asking where's everybody? Well, that you're run into a lot of

57
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:25.319
other rands. That's true. And
Wars sounds like a good TV show.

58
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:30.040
Yeah, they literally have this big
wars between various ants. Yeah, maybe

59
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.920
I'm just dismissing all the different diversity
of ants. You should listen to that

60
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:38.959
w talking about the jungle. It's
really hilarious. Have you heard it?

61
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.560
No? I have not. Worn
Azag is a way you should play.

62
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.600
You should play it for the you
know, as an interlude in the it's

63
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.439
on YouTube. It's awesome. I
love him so much. Great was he

64
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.480
the director of Happy People, Life
in the Taiga. I think also I

65
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.839
did that bear documentary, The Bear
thinking about penguins, the depress, the

66
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:10.759
analysis, the psycho analysis. Yeah, the penguin's like headed for like the

67
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.000
mountains like that are like seventy miles
away and penguin has just headed for doom.

68
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.600
Basically, Well, he had a
cynical take. I have a he

69
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:24.079
could be just the brave explorer and
there will be great stories told about him

70
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:31.319
amongst the penguin population for many centuries
to come. What we're talking about?

71
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:39.839
Okay, Yes, I mean I
don't know. Look, I think it's

72
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:45.560
the smart move is just you know, this is the first time in the

73
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.800
history of Earth that has been possible
for life extend beyond Earth. That window

74
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:56.800
is open now. It may be
opened for a long time, or it

75
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.240
maybe open for a short time,
and it may be open now and then

76
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:05.240
never open again. So I think
the smart move here is to make life

77
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.319
multiplanetary wild it as possible to do. So. We don't want to be

78
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.720
one of those lame one planet civilizations. It just dies out lay the self

79
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.480
respecting civilization would be one planet.
There's not going to be a Wikipedia entry

80
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:26.319
for one in one of those.
And the pause. Uh, the SpaceX

81
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:33.160
have an official policy for when we
meet aliens. No, that seems irresponsible.

82
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.319
I mean, if I see the
slightest indication that there are aliens,

83
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.439
I will immediately post on the next
platform. Yeah anything, I know,

84
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.360
it could be the most liked reposted
post of all time. Yeah. I

85
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.360
mean, look, we have more
satellites up there right now than everyone else

86
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.839
combined, so you know, we
we know if we've got to maneuver around

87
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.800
something, and we're not dyna ash
maneuver or anything,
