Is blockchain the technology of the future? George Gilder, author of Life After Google, argues that bitcoin and blockchain technology is revolutionizing the Internet. He sits down with Peter Robinson to discuss technology, cloud computing, big data, and the growing role of blockchain in innovating new technologies.
Gilder argues that cloud computing, while it was the hot new technology ten years ago, has reached its limits as the physical limitations of big data storage centers maxes out. Improvements in parsing big data are incremental at this point, and it’s time for the next big technology to take its place. Gilder points to blockchain as the technology of the future, with its ability to prevent corruption and manipulation of transaction data and the infinite uses it could have in third world countries.
Gilder also discusses the history of technology, artificial intelligence, and the revolutionary bitcoin. He argues that artificial intelligence can never replace human intelligence and creativity and that in principle, it is impossible for machines to take over.

Ok, never seen Peter Robinson before and within 10 minutes I was hooked. Brilliant interviewer!
I love the irony that google recommended this to me
"They [advertisements] aren't ads, they are minuses". haha. perfect!!!
If only vids like this were among the most watched on TH-cam. Imagine where this world would be.
Peter Robinson is an awsome interviewer.He is curious and he listens to his guests.
Half of the pleasure of watching U.KNOWLEDGE is due to intelligent Peter Robinson .
I was just going to comment on how this interviewer is really good.
Isn't this refreshing!! Someone with some respect, why is it so uncommon nowadays?
yes. courteous, curious, inquisitive and engaging .
Great interviewers also hold books upside down.
They call it "lack of concern with security" I call it "Intentionally designed Back-doors" in cahoots with the NSA!
One of the top interviewer I ever listen! Really good, in depth questions, clearly seeing he is processing to ask the write question. He is always aware of his audience and there level and try to adjust the level in a way that many people outside of IT will understand what is discuss here. Thank you!
Wow I'm really impressed by the interviewer for his ability to take in what George is saying and rewording it so that he acknowledges to George that he understands what he is saying and also it helps the viewers to understand. Good on you!
Worst phrase of the interview-- “ last question George-“
More More More please
The vanity of the Valley....so poetical. So enlightening dialogue. Thank you so much, Gentlemen
This guy is right on. Consciousness at the 40 minute mark is great. "Thinking doesn't produce consciousness, consciousness produces thinking."
What an intelligent conversation. Why don't I watch this kind of stuff more often instead of fail videos, cat videos, and ear wax removal videos?!
Well who among us hasn't wondered where the time has gone after 4 hours of removing ear wax videos?
At least you now recognize this, it is never too late!
Spence Redford good book too... read it
Because we actually have to search out this stuff whereas the fail, cat, and ear wax removal videos are shoved into our faces.
cat videos are way better than a so-called "intelligent" interview! We're mortal! Our ideas come and go! Our constellation will be absorbed by another one - not just our sun... etc... "Intelligence" is the very last avatar of vain illusion that we are immortal. So why don't we just enjoy the wonderful spectacle of tiny cute kittens and moms instead of wasting our time praising our "smartness" fed with "technologies" which are not to stay? Why? I LOVE LIFE ABOVE ALL! All bla bla one day disappear with their authors...
This is the first time I watch this show and immediately I noticed how good the interviewer is ! and this kept me watching till the end. I subscribed to the channel of course and am looking forward to watching more episodes. Thank you Mr. Peter Robinson for a great show.
Thank you George Gilder for your creative thinking and for making connections between problems and solutions I have not seen expressed anywhere else. The blockchain as the rising answer to declining Google was a new idea to me. As one who spent their life writing computer code, I also enjoyed your dismissal of computer intelligence. You are absolutely spot on in your explanation that at the bottom of the computer are just gates of 1 and 0, nothing more. Computer code does not have a life of its own and its capability is defined by the person writing the instructions. Appearance of intelligent thought does not equal intelligence. I for one plan to explore your books. An excellent interview! Thank you too Peter Robinson for the great interview. Very stimulating.
exactly Peter Robinson below, as so many agree...this is so refreshing to see such an engaging and civil interview, becoming quite disgusted with so many who have such an agenda to discredit their guest any way they can because of their own political agenda
henry kissinger? r u kidding me? hes a big part of the problems we face today
George Gilder, what a brilliant mind. Truly one of the greatest thinkers and visionaries of our time!
Refreshing interview, thank you.
Thank you Peter and George for this enlightening interview.
I hope all interviewers study this video. What a great example of meaningful dialogue in a concise respectful manner. The interviewer was well studied in his interviewees published material. And the interviewee was well prepared to explain his thoughts and beliefs in a clear manner that most can easily understand.
An immensely valuable experience here. Thank you for sharing.
When I grow old, wish to have the mind clarity of Mr. Gilder, excellent researcher and critical thinker.
This is incredible. The level of respectful intelligence and human discussion. The opinions of a great thinker under the careful direction of an impeccable host whose goal is understanding. Then... the ideas. The inherent union of science and theology. The evolution of technology. This is what I've been awkwardly trying to communicate with friends and strangers through conversation but fail. It's heady stuff and it's daily shit. What I feel in my HEART, when I feel helpless and hopeless, in trying to understand the world we're living in. How exciting it is that we're evolving to a place where, even if our darker nature has ruled us, our brighter one is inevitable. In a word: Decentralization.
This guy was writing about technology and society before I was born and getting it right, and he’s still at it, gotta hand him my respect!
Another delightful interview - thank you so much PR and GG
Gilder's writing in the 80's and 90's had a profound influence on my understanding of technology and business. As usual, he is on the cutting edge of understanding What's Next. Highly Recommended.
I loved Gilder's book.
This is simply amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Absolutely fascinating! Concepts and outlooks I had no idea of! Someone download this mans brain!
I love this show and Peter Robinson's disciplined clarity.
I learned a great deal from this. I'm going to go buy his book.
The dude is a genius. Bravo
thanks a lot for this amazing inerview.
Mr Gilder has great insight and is right on with blockchain. Interview well done.
Fukin AWESOME interview. Thank you for this gentlemen
one of the most intelligent interviews on TH-cam.
I found this vid to be both mind blowing AND mind expanding. Amazing stuff. Mr Gilder has a planet size brain.
Thank you
Your conversation made my day 1/10/18 thank you. Hope you have great day whichever day you are.
The origin of the term "The Cloud" is this:
Early on in network deployment, a network system would be diagrammed showing computers (nodes), network switches, routers, etc. that would describe a local network. But if something we being diagrammed that went beyond the local network to reach other points out in the internet, well, that's not easy to represent with elements like switches and routers because you don't know a priori how data would flow outside of your local networks across the internet. So the internet would be drawn as a cloud. Your network would connect to the internet drawn as a cloud and the service at the other side would also be drawn connected to that cloud image. Thus data would flow to or from your network through that cloud and from or to some service or remote network on the other side.
See here for example:
www.researchgate.net/figure/High-level-network-diagram-Desktops-represent-hospitals-H-i-and-are-located-in-the_fig3_279257217
So now when we talk about services that are provided by some service that would be drawn as connected through that cloud. SO as it would be drawn schematically that way, such services then would sensibly referred to as "cloud" services" since they are accessed schematically through that cloud image representation of that internet connectivity.
I agree with George: "Thinking does not produce consciousness, consciousness produces thinking." That is why a person can have an out of body experience, where the brain is dead, but thinking continues. Consciousness is the basis for the information based virtual reality we experience. Consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain.
William Olenchenko "I think...therefore...I am" DesCartes...
@@zeroceiling Descartes was wrong because You exist first receiving conciousness, the thinking is a product of it, so he should have said: " I am, therefore I think!"
Well, then I suppose that depends on which is first; the "I" or the "AM". Does consciousness exist before thought, or is thought required for consciousness? If consciousness exists before thought then you have to consider existing as an entity before, or outside of life as we know it. I have long thought of the brain as simply the interface between our consciousness (the "I") and the substrate within which we exist (the "AM"). Consequently, those with less/mal-developed brains or damage to their brains may still retain their consciousness and personality, but may simply have less access to it. Science has yet to find the location of the "I" from which we source our individual personality.
@@pauca2014 He was not wrong. This thread is confusing causality with evidence. The quote means thinking is evidence of consciousness in the same way fingerprints are evidence of a crime. Fingerprints do not cause crimes....they are evidence a crime was committed.
Outstanding Interviewer. I've been a fan boy of Gilders sice Reagan
George is really spot on¡¡¡
23 min... Paused video, went to Amazon n ordered the book... Looking forward to reading it soon
This was a fantastic interview. Pimped the book rather hard, but the exchange between the two was great!
Great book highly recommended.
and the very cloud has given me this brilliant piece. very thankful for it.
Brilliant!.. Very insightful questions, very insightful answers!
Fascinating! George's explanation and understanding of the impact of blockchain are fascinating. I was hoping to hear George's ideas on companies (IBM, MSFT) taking advantage of blockchain architecture as he explained it. No mention of blockchain in IBM's earnings call.
Good job George and Peter. Also, outstandingly interesting, George, on your interview on Life, Liberty, and Levin.
great questions and great answers
From Godel to Google through Gilder. Got it.
Love the alliteration. Yum.
John: Thank you. Glad somebody appreciates it.
Enlightening, thankyou both.
Excellent interview. Even if I disagree with Gilder on some points, he makes you think. And his track record in predicting a lot of tech and business trends is credible.
The best what I ever listenend! What a great Human!I will buy this book!Great Interview!
Play at 2x playback speed ;)
*You're welcome.*
Great tip...thanks.
Thank you.
Certainly 1.5x, at least.
Haha good stuff, didn't know you could do this. I found 1.5 was good (no you're right x2) 👍
At 2x everyone sounds like Ben Shapiro 😆
Amazing. Thank you
I love this guy, how refreshing to see someone explain the crypto space without talk of crime, drugs and guns etc.
Another great interview. Thanks.
Regards, Geoff. Reeks
Very interesting, will start to read the book soon, looking forward to it!
So much respect for Peter Robinson for his composure in letting Mr Gilder speak. I'm repeatedly frustrated by interviewers interjecting their own agendas over the views of seasoned analysts. Only up to 12:37 and felt compelled to pause & give credit.
Love it! He is 100% correct, such a smart and charming man!
This is absolutely enlightening and brilliant.
I think the picture Gilder painted about people's life after broadcast TV did come true. Surely as was illustrated many of this current generation are addled by their attachment to cell phones, but many of us are right here on TH-cam doing just what he said and that is pursuing knowledge and personal entertainment. I learn how to repair things and I learn computer languages from TH-cam and other resources on the internet. Another example is look at how youtubing and cable tv has promoted singing and other talent exhibitions by children. How amazing these kids are and that talent has spread with the availability of access to videos of current great singers and these children's constant mimicking of videos.
The let down of the many youth who have regressed rather than expanded can be tracked to the let down in the public schooling system, but there again the block chain may save the day. A crypto / block chain educational system could level up humanity and enable brilliant new ideas from all corners of the world regardless of access to higher educational institutions.
This is a fantastic discussion, thanks guys.
Most captivated interview. Liked and subscribed.
Amazing conversation between two refreshingly intelligent and entertaining gentlemen. I agree 100% with George Gilder regarding his take both on AI and Blockchain. On the subject to AI, I can’t stress enough the absurdity of comparing artificial intelligence with the human mind, as of all that there was to it was computational power. Also, I couldn’t agree more on his prediction regarding the Blockchain, and the huge importance of this innovative technology and its determinant role on our future. I hope that people with depressingly closed minds like Nouriel Roubini hear this interview. It will do them a world of good…
Speaking as someone who actually understands how Bitcoin works, I'm having a really hard time understanding how that can change the world. Blockchain is just a public entry log, where each entry is authenticated by cryptography. Sure you can record stuff in there, but it is computationally intensive to retrieve any of it, and it is *really* computationally intensive to distribute the authority to add entries. Consider it authenticated, public, double balance accounting, without a central authority. Big deal. A typical record says: gene paid george $20 on June 20. You can be sure that gene agreed with it, unless he was hacked, and george agrees with it, unless he was hacked, and lots of people have copies of the transaction, and anybody can read the transaction if they are interested. Oh yea, and it took a lot of electricity to record the transaction. And if you want to find the transaction in the petabytes of transaction that would be the world's economy, recorded this way, you just have to know the date and time, and you can narrow it down to a few million transactions, in no particular order, that you can inspect one-by-one until you find it. The only reason bitcoin is economic is that it literally prints money. What other kind of transactions have those economics? What other kind of transactions can afford blockchain?
Thanks for good thoughtful content
I can smell my redundant brain cells burning while listening to this. That's usually a good sign.
Absolutely!
'solutely!
Brilliant. Enlightening and endearing.
Whew!Fascinating and informative about technology of which I am totally ignorant.These boys are seriously smart.I feel better about the future after hearing how some the really smart people think about some of the same issues as I ,really good interview.
A very enjoyable conversation smattered with humbleness, balanced objectional views and explanation. I do believe it's still a case of hold on to your seats things are about to accelerate a whole lot faster.
Ray Kurzwel is also involved with singularity university along with Peter Diamondes and these guys are preparing heads of industry for the future, even if your head of your own single man industry they have some really interesting things going on.
Great to hear that somethings new and powerful blockchain that really come out .That cannot erase out.
Brilliant. Very enlightening.
Thank you google for recommending this to me.
Wow .... I love this guy. Thats a Real rolemodel right there I never knew about .
"Knowledge = Wealth"
I love this George guy. I am going to read all his books
Fantastic interview.
George Gilder is spot on about materialism. The materialists will never figure it out because they've got it completely backwards.
Simply WOW!
GREAT discussion!
Great writer, good book...only way to sell it is to pick a big target, have a bold hypothesis and argument using emerging technology trend
Wow - excellent thought leader.
Great talk! Public and private blockchain technology will be the next life changing communications revolution, after printing, the internet, mobile phone adoption and social media.
Awesome discussion.
The end of Google is no different than the end of the Industrial Age. Googles system has run its course. This happens with all industries. There is no ultimate system. Things always evolve. Some stay longer than others but they all evolve. Including us. Interesting times for sure.
Totally agree. The blockchain architecture is really the amazing future of the internet. It will decentralize everything.
Well that made me feel pretty optimistic about the future.
great interview. deep.
WONDERFUL!
40:35 Consciousness is the before thinking, not the after.
Ism.
Gin,
Good video. Very informative.
True wisdom arises from the acknowledgement we are all flawed by our own self servings. As Mr. Gilder pointed out it's the "Vanity of the Valley" that is the root of the downfall.
Thank you, George Gilder, just brilliant !!
Mr George Gilder, nailed it.
As Erwin Shrodinger said, "In the whole of the universe the number of minds is one." I understand that to mean that consciousness is God
Very Interesting. Those of us who are Boomers remember the prehistoric days of mainframe computers with what we're essentially dummy terminals giving users access to data. Then came the more distributed processing power of the PC into the work place. Then came the Internet, interconnecting PC's, eventually leading to the concept of the cloud which took this same idea of distributed processing power via PC's but moved it back into more of a mainframe concept w server farms connected via the web. Now comes the cryptocosm / blockchain concept which utilizes the good of the distributed PC model and eliminates the bad of the centralized mainframe "dataclump" concept. Amazing...
WOW I love this
enjoyable and stimulating stuff
