Here's a thread dedicated to Isaac Arthur and his sci-fi/sci-tech video series

Re: The Isaac Arthur Thread
And here's the video that actually got me interested in making this thread:
I've discussed before my own thoughts about how to industrialize the moon. In short: we ought to let robots do it and leave human presence on the moon minimal.

Re: The Isaac Arthur Thread
I've been thinking about this more and more in recent days, about how simulations offer a form of post-scarcity. In fact, probably the only true post-scarcity possible in the physical universe.

Re: The Isaac Arthur Thread
Absolutely, especially in light of the fact most of us will probably spend most of our waking moments being plugged in. If we need to interact with the original reality, we'll probably do it via true telepresence of some form, to the point we can't distinguish between the sensation of being inside a robot body and our natural one.
To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

You'll be dematerialized until you're a brain floating in a jar.
Re: The Isaac Arthur Thread
And not too long after, we won't even need a brain after some major discovery that undoubtedly proves consciousness is fundamental to all matter, not just the brain.funkervogt wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 4:50 pm You'll be dematerialized until you're a brain floating in a jar.

Maybe. For sure, there's no law of physics blocking us from stripping ourselves down to brains only.raklian wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 6:09 pmAnd not too long after, we won't even need a brain after some major discovery that undoubtedly proves consciousness is fundamental to all matter, not just the brain.funkervogt wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 4:50 pm You'll be dematerialized until you're a brain floating in a jar.
