Peter Joseph on Singularity 1 on 1

Peter Joseph is a film-maker and social activist best known as the man behind the Zeitgeist film trilogy and founder of the Zeitgeist movement. His films have become a counter-culture phenomenon on the internet, with tens of millions of views. He has not shied away from controversy and has dared to push a strong vision for the future.

In this video, Peter talks to Nikola Danaylov, creator of Singularity Weblog. They discuss a range of topics including his goals and motivation, projects he is working on, the measure and meaning of progress, resource-based economies, sustainability and central planning, artificial intelligence and the technological singularity.

From the video: "Real success will not be driven by greater and greater technological advancement, or greater lifespans, or any of the materialistic notions that we've put forward. Real success will be when we finally realise exactly what we're a part of in the natural world – and gain complete alignment with that."
