  1. Despite everything we have seen more and more proof of that "the time when the lion will sleep with the sheep" is coming... I for one have hope this is true.

  2. Consciouness is the building of a model of the world inside our heads. I don't need to look at the chair I'm sitting, or look at the street outside, or etc, to know it's there because my "model" tells me it's there. In that sense, all sential beeings have a model. More or less elaborate depending on how much senses the creature has (ex. animals have senses like us, were plant sense only temperature, gravity, sun-light,etc). This is a profound talk, but it need some pictures or infography, because it is to difficult to follow without visual aid.

  3. Human interaction will always be needed in classrooms, for this is the way we teach our young to live in society. But this is awesome! Almost makes me wanna go back to school... Almost. ;)

  4. I'm not against this type of surveillance. I am, however, against this type of actio without a WARRANT. We need to have legislation and courts so we can fight against this type of action in a legal way. Also, it doesn't hurt to have somekind of software to monitor your own computer, I'm sure that, being programs to attack, there must be other to defend them.

  5. Wouldn't it be nice to have a full size person TV screen in a local place/square, connected to another in another city around the world just to be used has "portals" so we could see other places and people and possibly interact even with them? I think that would be so awesome.

  6. Brilliant. We just need to give wildlife enough time and space to heal itself. Nature has been doing that non-stop and with great success for millions of years, we just need to give her a chance.

  7. It's like "Bones" but for real. Great man.

  9. Impressive talk. Comments are about a single phrase he said. That's the internet for you.

  10. Everyone is talking about Terminator/Drones, but the great aplication for humanoid cybernetics in the future will be Geriatry (amazing enough) to help with the elderly. With most of the world population of civilized countries growing old, Japan has an actual goverment plan for it... while is the US is still just a military product.

  11. Egos are the bigest problem in medical society nowadays.

  17. A simpler solution would be a car "blackbox". If you were acused of a crime, or participation in one, or even just a road accident, them thru court aproval you would relinquish it to authorities for investigation. Other than that it, and the data in it, would be yours and yours alone. Similar things could be used in so many other things: IDs, cellphone metadata, google usage data, facebook, etc.

  18. I simpathise with what he said, but not with the solution. It looks to me like all this is going to create is another political party, and it will soon turn into another clog in the wheel. To me, the solution would be an all out "no vote". If on election day they add no votes. They would have no way to justify: parliament, senators, parties, goverment (as is) all together. All that, would just be big white buildings with nothing in them. Buildings that belong to the people. And it forced them to reform into a system that would really serve us, instead of serving themselves. I know this is (probably) impossible, and many believe we would have anarqy...but, when all else fails why not try the less obvious. If we have the power to strike (and not work) when we are unsatisfied with our empoyer/company, why not use the same power (no vote) when we are unsatisfied with our goverment?

  19. I admit, fist time I saw this I thought it was a hoax... Boy, was I wrong.

  20. Scaring people with "extinction" into supporting science is not something I can get behind. Whenever we tried to do "better" than Nature we always end up failing (sometimes in a big way). Science benefits all of Humanity and it will get us to the stars, but we don't need to dicard our own Humanity to do it.

  21. Balsy...definitelly balsy.

  22. Ok, I have to clean my room, wash my curtains and plaint the walls...my mind just blew.

  23. All those "good" plazas are just flat concrete with very little green or trees... Sad.

  24. "Science didn't understand..." - Begins to describe how a dermatologist diagnosed, knew and told her all about the disease.

  25. I just looked at this guy and wasn't convinced that he EVER had love in his life...so what the hell is he talking about? XP

  26. No more cameramen. The journalist and the cameraman can now be just one person.

  28. A great Talk. I was most interested in the fact that language vanquishes it. For many centuries evils with no names were the worst, and it is interesting that once we know their names (or give them one) we start to talk about them, to study them, to understand them, and ultimatly to conquer them.

  29. I contacted an old sweet-heart that I hadn't seen in decades once... What a mistake!

  30. It's a real cool project, that I believe will benefit us greatly. However, we must take into account the political and economic repurcusions of this... The NSA already 'ears' everything in the world, and now someone's gonna be able to 'see' as well? Maybe some countries won't like to have all these 'eyes' on them, maybe they/we could use these eyes to spy on how much oil, merchandise, exports/imports on ships, trafic on airports, cars on a certain road, trucks on a specific factory, people at a stadium, etc... This technology is amazing, but it is also a two edge sword, and we need to be careful, and responsable, how we use it.

  31. This is a really good talk and a very innovated idea. I just didn't like the example of "exploding batteries" because, I'm pretty sure that they would use it to blow up every phone in a determinated area just to get the terrorist, regardless of if it could harm civilians...image if a kid was talking on his phone and it blew up in his face?

  32. This is a funny and interesting TTalk. I enjoyed it a lot.

  33. Porto, Portugal? That's here! Yeah... the sculpture is still there, and I love just how massive it is. Thanks Janet!

  34. "Everything mankind as ever built started with a drawing." - a mantra I tell myself everytime I draw.

  35. A+++ for this talk!

  36. The real breakthrough would be "automated surgery". Thru machine learning and several scenario simulation, computers could do "routine" surgeries much better, faster and safer than humans. Of course, the medical communtity would go crazy because they have their "status" (social and financial) to protect.

  37. ...and lost all hope in humanity.

  38. I have immense joy in my life and everyone around me feels better by spending time with me. Still, everyone still tells me to get a job.

  42. I think its a bit harder than that since real-state is one of the pillars of the banking system and vice-versa.

  43. WOW! My view is: if it's fighting for survival... it's alive.
