AI had its nuclear bomb threshold. The biggest thing that happens to human technology maybe since the splitting of the atom.

A conversation with Science Fiction author and a NASA consultant David Brin about the existential risks of AI and what approach we can take to address these risks.

David Brin’s new WIRED article appraises the chances (nil) of an ‘AI moratorium.’ It then breaks down the three standard ‘AI-formats’ implicitly assumed by almost everyone in the field – corporate puppet, invasive blob, or ‘Skynet’. Formats that can only lead to disaster.

Will it ever be possible for us, humans, to travel to another star system?
This video was inspired by a debate that took place on an article I wrote on that same topic.

Some peole argue the distance is just to far, therefore it will be imossible.

I this video I list some near-future technologies, something we can build within the next 200 years gven what we know today, and reach another star system.

#interstellar #starship #startrek #space.

Will we as humans even reach another solar system in a billion years?

The future of space travel with my new YouTube video on nuclear propulsion! Learn how this technology can improve the propellant efficiency of chemical rockets, making it a viable option for crewed missions to Mars, and perhaps get us to the stars.

Plus, compare nuclear propulsion to conventional chemical rockets such as the Saturn V and to the Epstein Drive from the Expanse.

Take your knowledge of space travel to the next level with our new YouTube video on nuclear propulsion!

Discover how nuclear thermal propulsion technology can double the propellant efficiency of chemical rockets, making it a viable option for crewed missions to Mars. We’ll also compare future nuclear propulsion to conventional chemical rockets like the Saturn V and even the Epstein Drive from the Expanse TV series.

In our video, you’ll learn about the theory, design, and operation of nuclear propulsion engines.

On January 2023, 60 minutes interviewed Paul Ehrlich, the author of the 1968 Population Bomb.

Although I agree with some of the points, like the destruction of habitat, and climate change, and those points indeed need addressing. the overpopulation arguments in the book and the interview have already been proven wrong, repeatedly.

The 18th century Malthusian catastrophe predictions never materialized. Thanks to modern technology, new clean energy sources, and modern agriculture, our planet doesn’t have an overpopulation problem despite having more people today than at ant time in history.

It’s okay to have more kids. Kids will not “destroy the planet”. They may actually help.

This video explain why.

Philosophy of the future is needed.

The world is chancing fast. (AI, genome sequencing, demographics changes…)

Fascism, Communism, Capitalism and other ideologies and economic system of past may not be ideal to ensure a flourishing human civilization on Earth and beyond.

Some initial thoughts on a framework of a philosophy of the future.

What do you think will be the preferred ideology and economic system of the future?

The world is changing at a fast paced. Humanity is facing new disruptive technologies and demographic changes at a rate never seen in the past. Especially, AI.

Fascism, Communism, Capitalism and other ideologies and economic system of the past may not be ideal to ensure human flourishing in the future.

This video contains some of the issues we will be facing in the upcoming years and decades. Why the current ideologies may not be the optimal solution for facing the future.

Then I listed an initial framework about what some of us may want to to see in a future ideology, with the desire to maximize human flourishing.

This is a call for action:
If you have ideas or feedback that can improve the framework, leave a comment or engage me:
