50:53 Start of excerpt "James Burke Connects the Future" as previously posted: • James Burke Connects t...
Science Historian James Burke (Connections, The Day the Universe Changed) speaks of The Foibles of Science, demonstrates K-Web by tracing the connections in the development of a common western Necessity. Then (at 50:53) he explores the implications of Nanotechnology, 3D Printing (and molecular assemblers), Social and Economic Change, Research and Development, and the Future of Knowledge.
A presentation at the Conference on California's Future, Sacramento, May 13, 2009.
Videography and editing by T.S. "Zak" Brown for GTtv / e.Republic.
I watched the original Connections back in the late 70's, and it's great to see Mr. Burke is still going strong as ever!
Watch it again and marvel at how prescient and generally fantastic it is.
Me too!
Yes and i have been searching for these You Tube replays to watch them again. His grasp of the topics and gifted ability to explain them is entertainining and expert to say the least.
I share these with family kids to give them understanding and knowledge of facts and truth that need to be told to this GENERATION.
Connections themselves are the intellect we build ourselves opon. He inspired me to dig deeper for the unseen connections in things. Love him.
James Burke got me interested in history and science back in the mid 1980s...connections changed my life...
showed connections to my preteen son in the late 90s. now 27, at Okinawa, he just sent me 3 james burke books, for christmas. mr. burke has a way of sticking with you. & heres to all the future 'connectors' who will be connected to you mr. burke.
It's like watching Hendrix play at Monterey pop. Grace, ease, and confidence in the way he presents some very revolutionary concepts. Any chance we make an exception and let him run for president?
Thanks for posting this! Burke has wit and good stories in droves. He clarifies why predicting the progress of innovation is nearly impossible.
Still sharp as a tack, what a great mind.
love james burke, a huge part of my childhood! Very special man
one of my heroes.
The man always was just plain smarter then the rest of us . Thank god he was so determined to share his brilliant observations .
If you've seen his speeches from Circa 1999... there is very little new in this one. Recycling at its finest James. Probably a testament to his accuracy in foretelling future events.
The Day the Universe Changed is a masterpiece! I watched it during its original run in the late 1980s. This speech is wonderful!!!
Brilliant talk; incisive, comprehensive, fast and furious!
I love this guy!
James Burke is a genius and great at putting history into perspective
Breathtakingly wonderful. Thank-you for this!
All I can say is that I love this. James burke calls it they way He sees it.!
I Just love this guy!!!!!!, Intelligent.... and just so goddamaned entertaining...loved the canary joke!!!!! my puny little brain is enlarged by a few centimeters.. I do so love his control of words that create clarity and pictures.. James you've got it going on!!!!!!!
James was a regular TV presenter on British television but not had much of him recently
I love that he totally foresaw the way I use Wikipedia when I'm stoned.
17:13 James Burke said, "A pal of mine at Oxford... did what Reductionism requires you to do in any organization to get ahead: Make your specialist niche so small there's only room in there for you."
James Burke is a great inspiration to my early return to physics with a type oh thinking that produced my Quantum Lift theory of Energy + Matter.
The use of the phrase "come on like Gangbusters" is still commonly used, but its origin is familiar only to those over 75. There was a radio police drama called Gangbusters from 1935 to 1957. It's intro was police whistles, machine guns firing, tires squealing, sirens, shouts and screams, followed by an authoritative voice saying, "Tonight, Gangbusters presents The Case of..." anyway, when it came on, it really came on.
HOLYCROW.. HE DROPS LLM! IN 2009! Around 30:00
Connection
"I know it when I see it" refers to the unity of Actual Intelligence in programmed unique uniqueness called Intuition.
So Darwin asked where did Mozart get his Childhood Musical Genius, was it animal Instinct or a particularly focused Intuition. Innovation has to occur in "cross pollination" situations.., synoptic free for all, access to relevant information. Less censorship not voted for, and less deliberate ignorant denial of participation in local->national->global responsibility for holistic Ecology.
Very agreeable lecture.
i WAS THERE AND THROUGHLY ENJYED IT.
Been checking out a few of his lectures from over the years recently, love how he's had the same intro for at least 15 years haha.
I want to make clear, I'm not mocking the audience, not at all. **But** people simply have no idea whatsoever, 1) what's possible and 2) how fast the speeding freight train of "what's possible" is heading our way.
That is because people tend to think in a linear fashion, whereas the world (including human civilization) moves in exponential ways with compounding feedback loops. It's a very hard thing to teach to people who never got past algebra and have trouble understanding compound interest on their credit cards.
A hirsutely challenged James Burke.
He must have changed his hair stylist!
What a change from his earliest shows.
They say that the Irish have the gift of the Gab, and heck, he can really Gab!
BUT! Always interesting and pertinent.
I can remember James Sir Patrick Moorepresenting the moon landings on BBC television
James Burke should work for Good Day Columbus As An Anchor
Central Ohio needs James Burke at Good Day COLumbus
Sir James Burke ????
the person who figures out what's wrong with James Burke's ideas solves the brain/consciousness, and A.I.
OK...Knowledge Mapping, Data Mining and Electronic Agents have fantastic potential to create wild, crazy wealth. And, we agree that wealth of yesterday was claimed by the likes of corporate founders, shareholders and executives. The ongoing nature of business, however, is of great concern to me: The ways in which the powerful elite I.D. the behavioral patterns of "innovators". Do the powerful elite recognize the societal significance of 1+1 = 3? What is their interpretation of 'The whole is greater that its parts'? How do they value the parts? And, how do they distribute the whole?
Every time we access the internet, we unwittingly contribute to the bottom line. Whose bottom line? How is it that ordinary citizens can trust the oligarchs? Government legislation and our stock markets give proof: Corporate mergers and acquisitions provide us ample reasons for mistrust. If you will, hold onto your bowler.
Of the 1% who are bent to be "innovators", what percentage are oligarchs? Or, more to my point, what percentage of folksy "innovators" provide the lion's share of mashed-up novelty? I'm referring to the mashed-up novelty that is taken and made profitable by those who are financially leveraged. We voluntarily give information at the twinkiest thought of personal gain.
At odds: Our egos and our needs. The struggle to put food on the table and the link for societal control is a managed web, translucent and sticky. When we volunteer information without meaningful negotiations, the result is a catawampus distribution of societal goodies. The definition of scarcity is a moving target. So, what is scarce? Answer: Fidelity is scarce. Does technology mitigate mistrust? Does technology address the bottom-line influence of infidelity? Negotiations can be an awfully painful process. What say you.
Patrick McCormack 1:01:30 "an entirely new form of social construct" this presentation sure is food for thought. My thought is that reducing human experience to some first principles via a process involving culture from around the world is the way to even think about this. What would be needed is not only a universally understandable purpose but also a way to own the different representative content for process sake. The simple question of "what do we in this local area think of the culture in some other place" might be a good start, with then a coherent process of selection and consequently development based not only in popularity or data web mined recommendation but relevance to actual law, resources and industry. Is it true what he seems to believe about technology resolving resource depletion, pollution and loss of biodiversity? Perhaps he's just being endearing with this specific audience to push the elusive social design metavision somewhat elaborated, I like it tickled my spidey sense. Anyway, the first principle I would suggest is work, to guide the development by calling it work and cross coupling with the info net basic historical occupations continuing, starting with farming, mining and raising children. Hmm?
@@tomstarling3905 , It's been three years since you replied to my comment. It's been fives years since I posted a comment to this video. As of today, though the hole is deeper and wider, we continue to dig. Give me a few more days to return to this reply. I'll be back. I dare not talk too much. I seem to have a knack for that.
I miss his leisure suits though.
Wow!!!
At 1:02 You described the INTJ personalities to a 'T'
In all actuality though, just as one could pull relevant personality traits of themselves from every horoscope., one can say the same for those Myers-Briggs personality questionnaires., how an individual's character can possess more than one trait.
Empathy is the most relevant trait., then intelligence.
Nonlinear ripple effect, always trumps reductionists linear prognostication !

Politically corrected he is.
whats the intro music?

nice

@9:10 if you want to skip past one of the,longest introductions I’ve ever witnessed.
This man has never been wrong, even more so now than ever! Unfortunately I think he's saying that The Matrix is inevitable...
Maestro :-)
James starts at 9:00
He is incredible! Who else can get away with giving a speech with a roll of toilet paper setting there the whole time?
What is the program at 40:25?
Knowledge Web or K web.
@@EidolonMedia thank you
20:00 Who says that English would be spoken around the world if William the Conqueror hadn't won the Battle of Hastings?
32:27 explains the brain's concept of a joke. then, James Burke tells the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life.
Please, I'm from argentina. I can't understand what he is saying. Could you write it below?
ës está explicando que las bromas son una reacción cerebral a la creación de nuevas conexiones en las neuronas. Lo explica diciendo que va a hacer una nueva relación entre "fruta" y "ave". Un borracho en una fiesta le grita al anfitrión "Disculpe... usted debe contestarme una pregunta". El anfitrión preocupado trata de atender lo más pronto posible al borracho y le ofrece contestar la pregunta inmediatamente. El borracho pregunta "Los limones silban?". El anfitrión le dice "No, desde luego que no silban". El borracho se golpea la cabeza con su mano y exclama "Ay Dios! En ese caso, acabo de exprimir su canario en mi trago".
This one was my favorite...17:13 James Burke said, "A pal of mine at Oxford... did what Reductionism requires you to do in any organization to get ahead: Make your specialist niche so small there's only room in there for you."
brilliant, educational, and entertaining. But he seems just a bit wrong without his leisure suit.
and now we fight over the object that bad English fleet navigation due to covid-19
the big bang theory producers should invite Mrs James Burke for some funny and more interesting episodes to make!
and then came postmodernism
10:55
What he says about truth and trust about getting to it in the final answer. LOL. Obviously 2015.
Mr Burke starts about 10 minutes in.
The other clowns had to have their say.
I just whizzed past that nonsense.
30:48 "The last thing much innovating thinking seems to be, is straight line reductionist and neatly categorized - thanks to the connective nature of the way the brain works. I mean, this explains, I think, why you are now solving the immensely complex problem of understanding me. Uh ah! No, you're the ones with the accent."
9:12
This man should do ted talks
F*ck TedTalks'''
@13:08 he succinctly explains the problem with the fallacy of "climate change".
CrazyTuco - could you explain 'the fallacy of "climate change"?'
the curtains are horrible, awful, so ugly, i can't watch this, bye
