Reddit reviews Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think (Exponential Technology Series)

If you think that we're all doomed due to overpopulation, or any other big world problem, I recommend reading Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think, by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

None of these authors would probably call themselves modern communists but I do view them as such. Some of the material here goes into great depth to outline a possible post-scarcity scenario while some stay on the surface but are non the less a great read and great thinking exercices about a possible future.

We're quickly progressing to "one World" due to Moore's Law, the doubling of computer chip capacity every 2 years. Read "Abundance" for a positive glimpse of where we are and will be in the next 15 years, as we proceed to "World Exceptionalism"

I said this not because I agree with your point, but to propose an argument in accordance with your point

As far as I'm concerned, dying is wrong, ever, human intelligence must control its own destiny without being a victim of fate. It could take 1000, 10000, or 100,000 years, but humanity will beat death. If I'll die, it's only because I was born too soon. Bad luck.

There are no scientific sources that can predict this kind of future, at the very most there are respectable opinions with good arguments, but you can find them for every position

We cannot tell if we are in a golden age today, these assessments can only be made from a retrospective point of view.

We cannot tell if in 50 years we will have unlimited energy, cure for every disease and food for 10 billion people. The only thing I know is that if this is going to happen, it's because we're going there, by the only way.

After reading The singularity is near I went to another usual suspect

What Technology Wants By Kevin Kelly. The most profound thing I got out of Kurzweil's was this graph, it's signification and significance. Kelly's book expand on this idea, that technology, life and physics are one.

The next one on my list is Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think By Peter H. Diamandis I can't comment on the book but If you like his talk I think his book is a no-brainer.

Ia si citeste si relaxeaza-te
