  This is my favorite episode. It seems like the subject matter for the episode could be a yearly check in thing. Maybe a part 2 in a couple of years as things change. Always love listening to your podcast on my long drive to teach

  I heard that in the original script of the Matrix humans were used as neural network rather than batteries

  It’s so wild I just made a video on Sean’s ideas here regarding efficiency and human happiness using dating apps as an example. So good to hear this from someone I respect so much.

  Sean is my SSRI when it comes to the confusions of Cosmology (I mean that in the best way)!

  Very imaginative comic book writer Alan Moore described the singularity precisely as a phase transition, where we change as a society from the recent liquid state to a society of steam.<br>I hope that that means that many individuals escape earth and go to populate the stars.

  Kudos, Dr. Carroll, for tackling such a thorny subject. The political and socioeconomic aspects of future technology are daunting. One aspect is the control of future technology because of society&apos;s inherent kleptocratic nature. Also, society has only been marginally successful at minimizing the costs of unforeseen problems of technological development. As always, there will be people who profit by shifting these costs to the society, e.g. the oil industry and climate change. We must prevent gene editing of the human germline to be sold to the highest bidder; if we don&apos;t, the &apos;haves&apos; will evolve into a new species and the &apos;have nots&apos; will be left to perish.

  Broadcasting lost a soul to Physics... we should be hearing Sean&apos;s voice everyday on the 7pm news, not once a month. damn you physics.

  Thank you so much Sean. I sincerely appreciate your work and intellectual exploration. It&apos;s wonderful to have this stimulation especially when health issues have me frequently debilitated. Your podcast is a godsend-particle. The Carroll boson 😜 I&apos;m not as clever as you are, but I try lol
