Balance, as in everything, is key.What’s really gonna bake your noodle later on, however, is: what exactly that ‘correct’ Discordia Concors truly is. The Queen of Sciences proud herself on finding it, we’re still figuring it out.

Mwahahahaha.. monkey silliness amuse me to no end, I expect the next couple decades will be particularly amusing since, as every good information technology, silliness is picking up exponentially.
But since you’re one of the rare ones I’ve actually been unable to find much silliness in, Ben, (except perhaps for that silly thing about a…[Read more]

Hey, nice one quoting myself there. ^_^
> However I don’t think it’s possible to not open it
True, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to nudge it in the most positive direction possible. And taking the Summit in consideration is an opportunity to do so. How many can we afford to waste? It will only get harder and harder to take them, the con…[Read more]

Whoa, does this means that the “International Summit on Human Gene Editing”[1][2] was all for nought?! Just a sideshow to the inexorable march of progress.
Does such a unilateral decision on the part of, I assume, uninformed “authorities” from 1 country imply a new kind of arms race? A race which is not won but instead the least uninformed among…[Read more]

@ Peter
Hi, sorry for the delay. It seems the email notification is not working anymore here either =(
Yes that was very interesting, thank you. I’m pretty sure if those models accounted for what you say, the ‘individual’ complexity there would soar way higher.

The short term risk of the immediate patient is just a small part of what should be considered here. The unforeseen consequences to human germline in general is the real concern.

Dear Peter, the link in your post seems to redirect to the forum. I can’t see the original article.
edit: following from the homepage solves the problem tho.

Good article. A few comments, mostly regarding your sources:
> “the Good, the True and the Beautiful.”
Except every single one is, if not subjective like “beauty”, at least perpetually incomplete, like science / “the true”. Thus the mere illusion of this will be enough.
As you conclude later, humans are impaired in their capacity, not only…[Read more]

William, thanks for the feedback.
The article also references the Pew study which shows both growth in Christian and Muslim religions and includes imagery referencing Christian apocalyptic beliefs. Various subgroups of major religions hold apocalyptic beliefs as is mentioned in the text and smaller groups also do. The article for example states,…[Read more]

Off to an awfully bad start with that (so careful, well thought out and researched) definition of intelligence. Even Kurzweil can come up with a better one.
And since it’s seems to be the crux of the whole talk, I stopped at 15min, hopefully someone will comment on more interesting parts.
