“I'm, again, I started with plants, animals, and ecosystems, and to me, the technology I want to see is already here. Biodiversity is, I mean, if you talk to most scientists and say, what scares you? What are you most scared of right now? They're going to say species die off. Species die-off is the number one threat. Nobody pays attention to it. Nobody even, you know, I've been talking about this for years and you say species die off to people and they're like, huh? There's a biodiversity crisis.”

“It's a world we forget Kara that each of us are a collection of 30 trillion human cells, right? We're not just an individual. We're 30 trillion life forms collaboratively working together. That potential to go from single cell life to a human being is where we can go from 8 billion individuals to something that is a collaborative at a level that never looks.”

“I am definitely someone when the chips become available in my brain and I can increase my intelligence, my memory, my ability to collaborate. So, I think this, and we talk about this as a concept of metelligence, if I'm able to connect to the cloud and you a thousand other things, I had this level of empathy. If I can feel your feelings, understand your thoughts and who you are, and there's absolute intimacy in that level.”

“critical yeah and but i'm going to focus on existential risk because no one's spending enough time on those risks So I'm concerned about those things. I'm concerned in some cases about the government regulating stuff it doesn't understand. It does it all the time, but the problem is when you over-regulate here in America, the technology and the technologists just move. They go someplace else, and we lose that ability here in this nation. And so it's got to be intelligent regulation, collaborative regulation with innovators, with the companies, and so forth. So, those are my concerns. I am concerned about pandemics. We're seeing the coronavirus conversation, which is still small, right? There's been like 100 deaths compared to like 2,000 flu deaths in the United States. Yeah, but it can get bad. So we had to learn how to do that.”

“And again, going back to the reason for this book is people fear what they don't understand. And as the speed of change is increasing, people tend to get more fearful, more divided. This book's purpose is to give people, again, a hopeful, compelling, and abundant vision of the future. It's got to be hopeful. If you don't have hope for the future, or you don't think your future is compelling. And if it's a world of scarcity where you're dividing the pie and if your neighbor gets slices, you don't. Instead of abundance, where you just bake more pies, right? It leads to a world that is scary, is scarcity-minded, and it's divisive. And our mission is to change that mindset.”

“You might disagree with me. So we've talked about education healthcare. I think those are the ones that have the biggest financial and societal impact that are so broken that are going to change by the right entrepreneur. Just giving something that's 10 times better. I think energy is going to fundamentally change people don't realize that the rate at which solar both installed solar costs and price per kilowatt hour is beginning to drop. We're seeing tremendous breakthroughs in storage as well, right? There's hundreds of billions of dollars being invested by the automotive companies electrifying their fleets. And batteries are part of that. Another common friend, Bill Gross, has created some true breakthroughs in the energy world. And so we have the ability to go to a majority electric economy.”

“It could be some of the ones we didn't actually talk about because we're already seeing entertainment is the first thing I'd point at. I think we're seeing the end of Hollywood's kind of monopoly completely. Obviously Netflix and that stuff, but I think that's going to continue to massively crumble. I think as AI continues to invade retail, I think that humans are gone from retail. I mean, we'll have craft throwback shops where, oh, you can get clothes sold to you by an actual human being. But I think retail is going to be completely invented, reinvented And to me, it's a toss up between AR and VR. I think the numbers and the trends say it's going to be AR first coming in. Augmented reality. Augmented reality. Augmented reality. Yeah.”

“Oh my God, technologies are extraordinary. It's robotics, 3D printing, machine learning, new material sciences. Again, what we mentioned earlier, relativity space, they're 3D printing. 30 meter tall rocket in 60 days or less. Extraordinary And Elon, the reason SpaceX's Falcon 9 was able to get to the space station successfully on its first was computer modeling and then being able to land and reuse the rockets.”

“But the one point that I think is important to make is we have a, everything we've ever known care about, every piece of history is here. We are one asteroid strike away from being like. Historical blip. And so I think there is a moral obligation to back up the biosphere, to diversify the human species. I don't think we spend enough time thinking about the existential risks that humanity has, right?”

“I think that thousands of years from now, millions of years from now, whatever we evolve into, we're going to look back at these first, these next couple of decades as the moment in time when the human race evolved off of the planet to the stars. It's happened once before when we moved out of the oceans and crawled onto land. That is now. And then everything we hold of value on Earth, metals, minerals, energy, real estate are in infinite quantities in space. And my equivalent quote to yours is the first trillionaires we'll be made in space. Hopefully it'll be both. It was the Soviet Union and the US in this war for supremacy. Let's use that word again that really drove us.”

“We're going to do it because it's cheaper, faster, and better. Right, right. And there's all these things. So let's finish up with space. It's an area because one of the things I just did a podcast with a guy who's head of astrobiology at Columbia because he wrote Death on Mars, which was about what, you know, he's like, I love all these people doing these things. I think it's great. All these rockets, the concept of moving to space. But go ahead”

“I think it has been happening. It's just happening at scale. And the only way to solve that is to provide something that is so much better That, I mean, that people just drop the old thing with a hot potato. So Jim Robo, who's the head of Next Era Energy, just went on last week, said, listen, in the next three years, I think it's 2023, 2024, it is uneconomical for us to operate natural gas for coal anymore. We're stopping it, and we're going all renewable. And so we aren't going to... Save the planet environmentally because we're so moral and we're going to do it because it's cheaper, faster, and better.”

“Plant bombs, what do you want? Right. And they tend to stick better. They get shot in with a nutrient seed capsule. They've been working in the Myanmar Irwadi Delta, repopulating that. And they just did some numbers and they found out that their plants have better survival rates than hand planted things. These texts exist. Even as you said, carbon sequestration, we can do this stuff. The trick now is the cooperation. You've got to do it at scale, right? We quote Ramez Nam in the futures faster than you think, talking about we can meet 80% of U.S.'s energy needs right now if we link our existing wind, existing solar together into a Nationwide grid. Do we have the impetus to do that? Are we doing these things? No, we're not. The tech is there.”

“You know what's interesting is a lot of the text we actually need to solve these problems are already here. In the book, we write about my friend Lauren Fletcher's for startup biocarbon engineering. It's a tree planning drone that can plant 100,000 trees a day. It basically shoots little seedling missiles into the ground. They've been doing it.”

“Just get to two things to finish up with space and the environment where technology helps and hurts is one of the things I wrote about recently is I just said it because I want people to think this way was the next, I made it up really, the next trillionaire is going to be a green tech trillionaire.

“No, no, we fucked up the planet immensely, climate change and so forth, and we have to deal with that. But on the population side, Bill Gates gives two great TED talks on this subject. You do two things to a population center. You make them healthier and better educated. The number of children per family plummet. So here are the numbers. 50 years ago, it was around six children per family as a global average. Today it's down to about 2.4, right? In the US, we're below the replacement number, 1.76 or thereabouts. And so I'm not worried about, in fact, Elon goes and says, and I agree with him, I'm worried about underpopulation of planet Earth. We'll peak at 9.5 billion, and there's going to be a very quick descent.”

“Our wint pathway manipulations like SamUMED, there's a whole slew David Sinclair. Do you know David from Harvard? He runs a Harvard longevity labs amazing book called Lifespan, in which he talks about the information theory of aging. We age because we're losing information. And he doesn't just talk about slowing aging or stopping aging. He believes we can reverse aging. And that's freaking cool.”

“synolytic medicines and so on. So here's, when I was in medical school, I remember seeing this television show on long-lived sea life.

“Yeah, they do. And when we generate 150 gigabytes of data about you, two reasons. Number one, what are you likely to die from and can you catch it early and prevent it? But number two, more importantly, is there anything going on inside your body you need to know about now? So it used to be $25,000 a visit. It's now down to $7,500 a visit. We'll come down in price. What's insane is that all of our first 1,500 patients we just published in the journal PNAS about they're all wealthy, they're all able to get the best health care in the world they want. But the results are the following of those first patients, 2% had a high grade tumor cancer they did not know about. Insane.”

It's going to be about early warning more than anything else. Today it's sick care. It's not healthcare. It is when you're on death's door, you spend 20% of your life savings to try and extend the pain an extra year. One of the companies, a company called human longevity in Gate July down in San Diego, and we have a program called the Health Nucleus. And it's interesting. You come in for three hours.

“Obviously, if I can jump and jump in. I mean, one of the things I just wrote an article about is I think the health care industry today and the pharmaceutical industry is in a lot of trouble. They're dependent upon regulations to protect them, which is sort of the last resort. The companies that are going to give us our health care in the future are the ones that have the data, are in our homes, that are on our bodies. They are Google, Amazon, Apple, right? Tim Cook famously said I was last year, I said, 20 years from now we look back, Apple's greatest contribution will be the health industry contribution.”

“Treatment for the super rich verb surgical, which is Google and Johnson and Johnson, their whole goal was to democratize surgical robots and their robots are coming out this year. And on the back end of the treatment train, we're completely reimagining drug discovery and how we find new drugs. And again, for every 5,000 drugs created, five of them make it to kind of human trials. One of them may come to market. It costs $10 million on average to do this. It's a total way waste. And you've got companies like Insilico Medicine in Baltimore using generous GANs, right? Two AIs battling against each other to find a proper treatment. They've reduced drug discovery from years into months. Quantum computing, which Google just hit quantum supremacy, low end. So they say.”
