That's a reasonable conclusion. On an unrelated note, in the 1960s, after my mom got back from her trip to Europe, someone who developed her pictures from the trip, had mixed up her photos with someone else's who had taken photos of dragonflies. Dragonfly after dragonfly. I wonder if we could ever find those photos from her trip to Europe...

"To stand out all you have to do is find something you love and pursue it", this makes me think of H.P. Lovecraft who started out contributing to amateur fanzines, struggled to sell his poems and stories to specialist weird fiction pulps and died in poverty at 46 from stomach cancer probably brought on by long term malnutrition. In his wildest fantasies I doubt he could have imagined in less than a century the word Lovecraftian would be an influence on or associated with almost every aspect of the popular culture of billions of people.

A friend of mine (much older than I am) went to Japan back in the 70s and dated a rural Japanese girl for a few weeks. When he was introduced to her mother, she hid and apparently thought he was a monster, because she'd never seen nor heard of a human being that didn't look like an Asian before, and he was this moon pale navy sailor with blonde hair that was 6" taller than anyone she'd ever seen. We're mostly away from this for now, but I think once mankind spreads among the stars and we get segmented cultures and even evolutionary variants of human, this will start to be a very common trope.

22:18- "If you are alive, hearing this now, then in my opinion you have a better than 50-50 chance of having your name remembered and recorded long after this bright star we live around burns out. And all you need to do to stand out is find something you love and pursue it." Granted, with the increase of our numbers and the expansion of data storage and recording, our memory footprint, so to speak, will increase over time. We will just leave more distinct stuff behind, whether those are actual things or information stored somewhere. But that does not follow that you, as in the distinct unique person you are, will stand out or be remembered. Just like we know the names of Roman politicians and businessmen from the city of Pompeii from the graffiti on the walls, and inscriptions on storage bottles and tombstones yet we know nothing about what they look like, or their personalities. Growing up, I lived next door to the annex of a major public library. Every week there were boxes of books taken to the curb to be thrown out because they were worn out, or were multiple copies. Most of these books were out of print, and not the most well-known authors or titles. These books were also the products of someone who had a passion for something and pursued it, and took the effort to write it down and publish it. Sure, there is a ISBN number somewhere, indicating what and where the work is, and there may be a hard or digital copy stored somewhere. But for the most part, all that work and effort is in the bottom of a landfill, or in a recycling bin, and no one is coming to look for it. (My mother rescued a lot of these books, and I still possess a few of them- it's a big part of where I get my love of reading.) I'm not trying to be a "negative nancy" for it's own sake, or throw cold water on what is mostly presented on this channel as an optimistic future. I just don't want to fall into the deception that one key technology somehow changes the human condition, and that we'll all, or even most of us, have a shot at digital immortality. Storage space, and the energy to store and retrieve data from it, is finite. Human attention spans, and priorities, are finite. Your memory footprints, even if not erased, will fade.
@solidcell6568
3 жыл бұрын
Storage space and the energy to store it, will exceed the growth of people. So sure its finite, but finite in the sense there would be a theoretical limit you'll never reach. So you might as well call it infinite with an asterisk. Although the attention span of humans would be the primary factor which determines what you leave gets recognition or not. That, once again, with sufficient technology will expand the time and capability of humans to push that into the such-a-high-limit, which makes it another non-issue. Of course they got rid of those books. They didn't have cheap and ever expanding space to fit it like we have in the digital space. So it makes sense for the library. Although not having a warehouse somewhere to store them, means no one cared to keep that around but yourself, because you had some free space. This is a nonissue when dealing with digital artifacts. And the quality of what is left behind is much more greater now, than of Roman politicians. I would wager something much more mundane than banking on the finiteness of infinity. An entity looking to curate and collect data and dumping it to the way side as useless data. The capability of determining the difficulty at finding 'your' part you leave. The primary real world example would be Google and its search engine. You can google something, and if you recalled something from 2009 and you know the exact words you googled to reach it, you may have a very hard to to actually reaching it today. As well a targeted attack on data storage. And if people's minds are copied and uploaded to make them 'immortal' in the net, they still can be attacked and wiped from outside or inside. If someone wants certain data expunged, that is bound to happen such as book burning of old. If we progress into a Utopia, we'll be totally find and this 50/50 chance maybe even be much higher. Although continuing forward as we are, we'd run into a high risk to have plenty of curation, censorship, and control. Which means you are far less likely than that 50/50. Your dragonfly pictures may be deemed as an information hazard and expunged in an totally automated fashion without appeal and without anyone know it ever existed at all.

With regard to the example of a dragonfly photographer with intellectual disabilities or some other impediment to effective online presence, this is a situation where cybernetic or genetic therapy per se probably wouldn't be necessary, although it will likely still occur. There is a gifted young nature photographer with Downs called Oliver Hellowell whose mother runs his accounts, and that is the sort of role an AI assistant could fill for many in the future. A number of partly or fully non-speaking autistic people are able to use the web and even write and self-advocate very effectively with the help of enhanced communication tools which will only grow more advanced. The kind of AI partnerships you discussed in the relevant episode are likely to be of specific importance to future disabled communities.

Standing out in a specific community only gets easier when you can find likely minded people out of the entire human population.

Man we had some good times back then. The Sam Adams years were like an endless party for this city. Things change and the world moves on.

The mayor of my city, Las Vegas, is notable cause she succeeded her husband, the last mayor, after he term limited out from his rule. Yeah, Oscar and Carole Goodman were mob lawyers back in the day, suffice to say the local election is totally nonexistent. They have the local equivalent of 'divine right to rule' since they are mafia buddies. Gotta love how so many major cities have criminals in the mayors office. NYC, Chicago, LA, they all have a nice long history of this too.

I do know exactly what you mean. My KZitem channel is small compared to the big names, but I do have over 25 million total views across all the different videos. Out of all of that I have had exactly 3 people recognize me from them. Or at least just 3 that walked up and introduced themselves. Which is just fine with me. Never had the ambition to be famous. Just started the channel to share some of my hobbies. Never expected to ever see 25,000 views, let alone 25 million. So I always encourage other people to do videos, on whatever subject might interest them. After all, what`s the absolute worst that could happen? That no one watched? If so, you are out the time it took to make and upload the videos. Nothing else. So why not give it a try. The more videos there are out there, the more choices people have as to what to watch. And more choices is almost always a good thing for everyone.

Standing out is a concept we should leave behind. Who cares about fame, when you enjoy what you do, who you are, and whom you share your time with? I find we have way too many selfish people who are that way without any good reason, just because of how the culture affects us.

Totally agree, Alvaro. "leave behind" or dramatically moderate. The idea of becoming "known" to everyone in the world seems kind of pathological to me. I'd rather be well-respected by someone I myself admired, than be known by a million randos. Now, if we can reduce our social groups down to double digits, there might actually be a healthy approach to this "need".

I've done hundreds of shows, a bunch of seminars, and lots of therapy over the last twenty years. Those people who have participated or watched might know me, but at most my total audiences probably rank somewhere from the tens of thousands to one hundred thousand at max. I've never worried about it. When someone says I must be famous, I shrug and say, "I'm only a little bit famous." That phrase will work for ever-larger groups as the population increases further.

I believe that every person is unique and so what they do should also be unique. I think that the university does students a disservice by training and socializing them to be drones competing with their cohorts to work for elites in ‘jobs’ that these elites prescribe. Rather they should train them to be innovative entrepreneurs working for themselves. Students should be allowed to take any course they want as long as they can pass the prerequisite exam. Merit should be rewarded. If you get an A, you pay nothing. You pay progressively more for lesser grades. To graduate, the student must produce something new and beneficial to society and have a viable plan to implement that idea in society. University business incubators and crowd financing should assist in the successful launch of such businesses.

Buddhists do not really worship Buddha, even to the extent that Muslims can be said to worship Mohamed or Catholics worship the Virgin Mary. Buddhist theology holds that Gautama Buddha, the source of Buddhism, achieved enlightenment and, when he died, ceased to exist in any form with conventional human individuality, and thus escaped the cycle of reincarnation. (Buddhist theology holds that the worst possible thing that can happen to you when you die is that you reincarnate and get another chance to achieve Enlightenment. See the Cathars for a Christianity variant with a similar belief about the physical world.) Simply put, according to Buddhists, there is no Buddha that could be worshiped.

Imagine these parents making them unmotivated before birth, or a "mommas boy" so she creates a son husband or a daughter that never ventures from their care. Scary thought. As parents would once again be the biggest dream killers

My guess would be that on average, men would be half a head larger then women, and the mans size would be just under 2 meters, the max to comfortably enter most doors. Door sizes wont change fast because of the large amount of doors that wont be changed and are already pressing current size issues and going overtop with size when its easy and cheap to do just looks like overcompensating.

William Gibson wrote about that. There is only a certain amount of fame available that famouse people have to share. Because nobody is a fan of 20 different people. Most people are for example a real fan of only one up to three singers or actors and so on. So because of the rise of the internet and the soon to be awaited death of TV, there are not only a couple of thousand people competing with each other to get that fame, now its tenth of millions. So real celebrities with billions of fans, like the Beatles, Elvis Presley or Michal Jackson will not exist anymore in the near future. We will have way more celebreties with way less followers.

Now, there is no more paper needed to write, no more film needed to buy and digital graphics allows us to create art much quicker. The sheer abundance of litriture, photography and art + the ability to instantly release anything world wide on the internet, no wonder it must feel like it is hard to stand out for people today.

When I was a kid I read one of those sci-fi novels. I can't remember the author. Nor do I seem to remember anything about the story, except that it involved this main character who was a prisoner. He had to perform to entertain the ruling class. For some reason the title of your video made that crappy book come back to my mind from decades ago. The main character had to try to be outstanding in the population of prisoners. Like I got to upload a video every time Issaac Arthur does and whoever gets more likes gets fed that day? The one with the least likes gets turned in to food? How am I going to comb my hair? what costume should I wear? What should I do to entertain them? Isaac is doing the milk crate challenge while dressed like a grey. How can I top that?
