What will be the future of life on earth? 🌎 In 1 billion years, the sun will be so hot that all the world’s oceans will have evaporated away. Life, as we know it, will no longer be able to exist on earth at that time. However, this is the least of our problems... Asteroids, nuclear war, black holes, climate change, epidemics, autonomous weaponry, super-intelligent AI: these are just some of the challenges we may face in the course of earth's lifecycle. What can we possible do to mitigate these risks? And what are the worst case, best case, and most likely future scenarios that we will encounter? Find out on Episode 10 of Hence, The Future podcast!

Ep. 7 - The Future of Health and Mortality Aug 21, 2018

Show notes

Will humans become immortal? 🐉 This seems like an absurd question. Yet already doctors can replace our organs, give blood transfusions, and surgically attach bionic limbs. If we continue to make any progress whatsoever, we will someday be able to replace and/or repair neurons, nerves, DNA strands, individual cells, and even perhaps the brain itself. 🧠 Which leads us to another question... What makes you YOU? If scientists could download all your memories, along with the exact blueprint of your neural connections and genetic predispositions to a new body, would that be you? Would you want that? Delve into all these questions and more as we explore the unknown in Episode 7: “The Future of Health and Mortality,” which features our first ever guest, Dr. Martin Mullen 🔭 Website: https://www.hencethefuture.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hencethefuture/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hencethefuture Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hencethefuture/ #HTF #HenceTheFuture

Ep. 5 - The Future of Jobs, Income, and Fulfillment Aug 07, 2018

Show notes

Robots are coming to take our jobs 🤖🛠, but is that such a bad thing? After all, isn't the goal to spend our lives doing that which we find to be truly valuable and enjoyable... not laboring away in some cubicle doing tasks that could be better performed by an Artificial Intelligence system? Whatever your opinion may be, irreversible trends are taking hold. Every day, AI systems are getting better at doing YOUR job. Eventually, these AI systems will be better than ALL humans at ALL jobs ALL of the time, except perhaps for those select few jobs that have intrinsic “human value,” such as yogis and massage therapists. Are we ready for widespread automation and joblessness? How will people earn an income when they are unemployable? What is everyone going to do with all this extra time on their hands? Where will people derive their sense of self worth and fulfillment if not from their careers? Tune in to Episode 5 to find out about the Future of Jobs, Income, and Fulfillment! Enjoy.
