Love the 10% tithe idea, but Parfit said, “we should NOT eat meat” and called for not having children. Didn’t know he was early EA, which has shifted with EA maximalists now saying we need many babies. The most pleasant professor advocating for human extinction @ th-cam.com/video/q6glXJ7dVU0/w-d-xo.html

Is there a transcript of this talk? Even one auto-generated by youtube would be helpful

Good debate. Was having trouble finding any true debate on this topic. Wish that the pro-meat side actually believed their case, but it was good that they were debate students, and so probably made a decent representative case of the other side. Hopefully I can find another debate like this to validate I got all the points from both sides.

The comment section is empty. Let's fix that.

What the arse is he talking about? 'filling the universe with people living much better lives than those lived today'... that really means nothing, even to people who think Star Trek is serious. The professor of cobblers...

Special place in hell for all these people...Your all no good.

The others are theives,criminals,degenerates and traitors

More and more videos coming out. Fauci knew or should have known. There’s another talk with Lipsich where he shares that the first gain of function was funded by The Gates Foundation and the NIH funded the efforts. In another video, same professor said SARS and MERS were exempted from the pause on funding. 2012 - first time. Less than 10 years to create the virus.

How did that mouth breather make it to Harvard?

Why isn’t this man the head of NIH ?

Thanks for the upload. Please revise the title.. it's "Dangers" not "Strangers".

i agree with the book, moral tribes, thank you for posting this classroom video.

we need a global well-being index to insure values are implemented systemically; we are a dual-process species with a dual-process brain. our societies are constructed along a single process mechanism: gdp. gdp paired to a well-being index will mirror the dual-process nature of human interaction and response to each other and nature. the gdp represents the intuitive system1 process of instant action and insight, including rapid economic growth and stock market intuitiveness. the well-being index represents the system2 of working out problems using reason based on guideline values. we need to establish a global well-being index to serve as this reasonable balance to gdp growth. with a well-being index established, to which we may aspire competitvely to meet, gdp can do what it wants in terms of growth. this is similar to global goals, but different, as it’s a variable measure, like a thermometer measurement, based on public health, which in turn must be based on individual health. it’s a roots-up index. by maintaining the well-being index at a healthy temperature, we may maintain the means of universally sustaining the species in its natural context, but the interactive footing will be more intuitive, more in response to needs of the moment. this self-correcting index is essential as a macro-step in establishing a helpful system of gdp management. a well-being index to mitigate against gdp excesses, such as inequity, pollution, racism, disease, and poverty.

Go vegan.

Thanks for this, but the audio is so poor as to be barely understandable, so I'd love to see and hear more with clearer audio.

When did this take place? Today? This week?

The audio quality is awful, its compressed down to the level of cellphone communication. Horrible to listen to.

If we are a logical product of the universal mechanism left to run itself for a billion years, then the shifting "up" of the collective system of intelligence to machine assisted integration of society is probability one. Only the rate of progress is variable. Alignment of values is the intelligent process isn't it? Mutally assured survival was/is the reason for WHO, but so far, it's not been full spectrum. AI can be applied more effectively to an apolitical rationale such as assessing proportionate responsibility for mutual protection of life. Acceptance of the the operating principle of the Big Bang theory is to know that the interconnectivity of "computed" information is ultimately coherent, so logically, to integrate collectively is necessary to think for yourself inclusivly.

On the subject of TOE's, Tegmark defines a TOE as a "complete description of reality." He also suggested that physical existence is mathematical existence. Later, I believe he modified that to restrict only to computable mathematical existence. There are countably many descriptions in English. If real numbers exist mathematically, then there is an uncountable number of things which exist physically. Therefore, we won't have a situation where a description will be complete. However, while not every real number (something which exists mathematically) is describable by this counting argument, we do have ways to describe the set of real numbers.

This video needs millions of views, I'm going to donate to Schistosomiasis Control Initiative.

I'm not convinced that taking an extremely high paying job and then donating a large portion of the income to charities is a moral practice. The problem with this practice is that too many slippery slopes are involved. 1) How can we be sure that the high income is earned by an ethical way through the company, and if we can't be sure, then we are just redistributing wealth by our own prejudice. 2) High donation from any one party can cause a charity to play favoritism and become politicized. Then, we have to ask ourselves: Is either of these two scenarios moral and ethical?

So is this Philosophy or Philosophology?

The camera man breaths so loud I couldn't listen to this whole thing. Only made it to 15 minutes.

Self-described rational atheists react to Parfit's thought: www.amazon.com/forum/atheist/ref=cm_cd_tfp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx3VDTKO61HE6U7&cdThread=Tx249L653KPYWQ0

I very much like the focus on reducing suffering rather than increasing happiness. But I didn't understand some points, like, why does he think that we are the only sentient beings in the universe (there are good arguments that it is hugely likely that there are other civilizations) and that this matters so crucially - as if there is a moral obligation to keep humanity (or future humanity) existing forever, while it is clear that sooner or later humanity will go extinct, and in the end all complexity (incl. life) in the universe will be gone..

I appreciate this debate

AI is a child with 7.5 billion parents. I hope we learn to become great parents!

one of my favorite physicist thanks

AI is inevitable...

the camera person is a loud breather

FUD...

@1:17:00 "everybody has to be involved in this" -> lesswrong.com/lw/ja/we_dont_really_want_your_participation/

This is a fascinating presentation - I stumbled across this after watching Ray Kurzweil and Max Tegmark on a panel at Berkeley. Great to get Max Tegmark's understanding of AI and the promise/peril warnings.

Im not sure if Max Tegmark sees these video comments but if you do Max please come and give a presentation in Ireland, you are my hero!

Starts getting good around 13:50.
