ARE WE PREPARED FOR 2025? Take The Time to Watch this!

This is maybe the most important thing
to know about living right now in the

21st century...

That we are now hackable animals.

We have the technology to
decipher how humans are.

What you think, what you want.

To predict human choices to manipulate
human desires in ways which were

never possible before.
Basically to hack a human being,

you need two things.
You need a lot of data,

especially biometric data, not just
about where you go and what you buy,

but what is happening inside your body
and inside your brain. And secondly,

you need a lot of computing power
to make sense of all that data.

Now, previously in history,
this was never possible.

Nobody had enough data and
enough computing power to

hack human beings.

Even if the KGB or the
Gestapo followed you around 24

hours a day, eavesdropping on
every conversation you had.

watching everybody you meet. still,

they did not have the biological
knowledge to really understand what's

happening inside you.

And they certainly didn't have
the computing power necessary to

make sense even of the data
they were able to collect.

So the KGB could not
really understand you.

Could not really predict all your
choices or manipulate all your

desires and so forth. But now it's
changing what the KGB couldn't do,

Corporations

and governments today are
beginning to be able to do.

And this is because of the merger
of the revolution in biotech.

We are getting better in understanding
what's happening inside us

in the body and the brain. And at the
same time, the revolution in Infotech,

which gives us the computing power
necessary. When you put the two together,

when Infotech merges with biotech,

what you get is the ability
to create algorithms

that understand me better
than I understand myself.

And then these algorithms can
not just predict my choices,

but also manipulate my desires
and basically sell me anything.

Whether it's a product or a politician.

One of the things many people don't
realize about the AI revolution and the

automation revolution...

they imagine it as some
kind of one time event.

We have the big AI revolution in 2025.

You have all these truck drivers and
taxi drivers and doctors and whatever,

losing their jobs. You have a few
difficult years of adjustment.

And then eventually you have
the brave new world of AI,

with a new equilibrium.

And this is an extremely unlikely
scenario because we are nowhere near

the maximum potential of AI.

The speed in which it develops
is only likely to accelerate.

So what we are really going
to face is a cascade of ever

bigger revolutions. in the job market
and in many other areas of life,

relationships, politics, and so forth.

So you have a big disruption in 2025.

You have an even bigger
disruption in 2035.

An even bigger one in 2045 and so forth.

And if you look say at the job market.

So, okay, you were a truck driver
and they no longer need you,

but there is new demand for yoga teachers.

So you somehow reinvent
yourself at age 40.

I'm no longer a truck driver now I'm
a yoga teacher. It's very difficult.

You somehow do it. 10 years
later, no need of yoga teachers.

Thank you very much.

We now have these amazing applications
connected with biometric sensors

to your body.

They know exactly what you're
doing with every tiny muscle.

as you do this posture or that posture.

No human yoga teacher can compete
with that. You're out of job.

You have to reinvent yourself again
as a designer of virtual world games

and you do it somehow. But 10 years later,

you have to do it again because
this too has now been automated.

And even if you get support from
the government and there is all this

education for adults in the system.

The really big question is,
again, it's psychological.

Do we as human beings have the

mental stability.

And the emotional intelligence necessary.
to reinvent ourselves repeatedly.

And you know, when you're 20,

what you're doing is basically to reinvent
yourself or to invent yourself for

the first time. And it is very
difficult. When you're 30,

it's even more difficult,
but you somehow do it.

But when you get to be 40, 50, 60,

it becomes more and more difficult.
You have more to let go of,

I've invested so much
in building this career,

this personality, these skills.

To give it all up and start again
from anew it's so difficult.

So I don't know whether we can do it.
