Greetings and welcome my radio listening viewers and on-line article readers. On this 19th day of October 2012 we’ll in fact be discussing future expertise, future improvements, and futuristic ideas. Certainly, I certainly hope the Mayan calendar was flawed, or maybe these carving it merely ran out of stone merely, ran out of rock to chisel on, due to this fact the world will likely be saved from no matter it was that the Mayans thought would possibly convey a few new age or renewal.Okay so, I would wish to dive into our matters for at the moment’s radio discuss present and I am positive by now you perceive the format, mainly, “I will do the talking for about 30 minutes minus commercials and your job is to listen carefully, come up with comments and questions, and then I’ll open up the phone lines to hear what you have to say.” As you additionally most likely know I don’t reply to on-line feedback which aren’t intellectually based mostly. That does not imply you may’t have an opinion, nor does it imply that it must be the identical as mine. In reality, should you do an excessive amount of preaching to the choir, I’ll merely minimize you off, maybe agree with you, and go to the following caller.Our job is to have an mental dialogue, dialogue, debate and discourse. That is why you are right here, and that is my mission, and we’ll full it. Now then, clearly there’s a large quantity of discuss innovation, the necessity for innovators and entrepreneurs in our nation to maintain us robust, vibrant, and on the forefront of expertise. You will not get any disagreement right here on that actuality, nonetheless it appears as if the phrase “innovation” is probably one of the vital overused phrases within the English language at present, maybe aside from “unsustainable” which by the way in which, some issues which can look like unsustainable or dire issues we consider we face at the moment, however might very properly be solved with the expertise of the long run.Einstein used to say that; “it takes a brilliant person to solve a problem, but it takes a creative genius to prevent the problem from ever happening first place,” and due to this fact, I might say that the inventive geniuses do not all the time get the credit score for fixing the issues, however the sensible individual will, even when their earlier options was unintended penalties, and they’re rehired to repair what they broke the primary time after supposedly fixing one thing to avoid wasting us all.Okay so, right here is the place I will begin throwing out matters, with a little bit dialogue connected to every one. They’ll run the gamut all throughout the board from science fiction matters to at the moment’s newest and best applied sciences and what they could imply for our future. I will even throw out some private authentic progressive ideas, as I provide you with at the least two new authentic ideas per day, and we are able to talk about these as properly if you want, or maybe you should have a unique matter for our dialogue right here. Now then let’s start with the primary matter;1.) Will Bodily Cash Survive the Subsequent Three A long time – Hackers and Commerce QuestionedIn actuality, cash has little or no worth – take into account a greenback invoice, it is only a flimsy piece of paper, so how a lot is it actually price? All of us consider it’s price no matter it says on the face of it whether or not it’s one greenback, 5 {dollars}, $10, $20, $50, or perhaps a C-note. Cash solely works as a result of folks place confidence in its worth, and what it might probably purchase. A lot of the cash which is created lately by no means really exists in a bodily kind, it solely exists within the digital world. As an illustration, you would possibly receives a commission from a Company, that cash might be digitally transferred into your checking account. You would possibly then use your ATM to purchase one thing, or pay payments on-line, however you by no means had that cash in your sizzling little arms. Issues have modified rather a lot within the final three a long time have not they?So what’s going to occur in one other three a long time I ask? Will we nonetheless have bodily cash, or will all of it be digitized, and can you ever have any cash in your pockets to purchase one thing? There are some futurists that consider that cash will exit the window, that’s to say bodily cash, and the whole lot will likely be digital sooner or later. However what if our society and civilization does not belief digital cash? What if they’re nervous that our banks are being hacked? Not too long ago within the fall of 2012 we have famous that our banks have come underneath cyber-attacks from Iran at the least Leon Panetta believes that is the place the assaults originated, however who’s to say sooner or later if we’ve got a battle with one other nation that cyber-attacks on our financial system is not going to be included?In any case, financial warfare is changing into fairly widespread, why simply take into account the sanctions, commerce wars, and our makes an attempt to cease the cash circulate from terrorists, drug sellers, cash launderers, and human traffickers, together with the central banking laptop techniques of rogue nation-states and their cash transfers for issues like oil, pure sources, and navy armament?Then there’s the difficulty at present the place an increasing number of persons are making cell funds on their cell private tech gadgets. Right this moment they’re shopping for a cup of espresso, a hamburger, or numerous gadgets at retail shops. Sooner or later it could be rather more, or if that turns into unreliable or these private tech gadgets are being hacked, maybe by downloaded apps with malware, or from customers browsing web sites with malware, then folks is not going to belief cell funds. Some have instructed that some private tech gadgets may very well include pre-loaded back-doors or software program that might be utilized by hackers to steal information or commit id theft crimes.There might come a time the place folks do not want to purchase something on-line, or do on-line banking as a result of they do not belief the system, they do not need their cash to vanish someday into another person’s account in some overseas nation. Having somebody drain your checking account solely must occur as soon as, and solely must occur to a detailed pal or a member of the family earlier than everybody they know turns into sketchy. In that case you will not wish to use digital cash, and that case extra folks will choose to make use of bodily cash, due to this fact it’s fairly doable that bodily cash will exist merely as a security issue for many years to come back.However how protected is your bodily cash going to be in case of a pure catastrophe, or a wildfire that burned down your own home, or an earthquake? What a few hurricane with an enormous tidal surge, a tsunami, or a serious river which jumped its banks? Is your bodily cash protected, how a lot safer is it that your digital cash in that case? Talking of pure disasters and flooding occasions, possibly we are able to higher predict them sooner or later? Let’s discuss that for a second with our subsequent matter;2.) We Want A Actual Check for 100-12 months Flood Mathematical Simulations – A ThoughtHow can we higher produce mathematical simulations for flood zones, or the proverbial hundred yr flood? What can we do to higher fine-tune these mathematical fashions in order that they’re utterly correct? A number of work has been executed up to now based mostly on elevation, and flood mapping. However there’s extra to it than that, there are all kinds of different issues to think about together with erosion patterns. Let me provide you with a thought right here?We all know the dates, temperatures, rain fall, and run-off proper, we all know historical past, plus we measured the terrain earlier than and after proper? Thus, any actually good mathematical simulation for erosion ought to look the identical because the precise should you enter the way in which the terrain as soon as was with the interim situations to what it’s now. See that time.There’s a very fascinating YouTube Video I like to recommend viewing on this matter, properly a aspect subject, that of agricultural prime soil erosion; “Dave Montgomery – Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations,” now then, let me categorical my ideas on this as, all of those theories and hypothesis make plenty of sense with limitless examples within the current interval on smaller scales – widespread sense, observable, and thus it is smart, so then, Occam’s Razor survives.So, my hypothesis of Dave Montgomery’s lecture and idea can be the identical. Certainly, this was a terrific lecture, strong proof, and analysis. Okay so, now we are able to now put forth these findings to assist calibrate mathematic soil erosion fashions and simulations. Now then let me ask one other query, or maybe the identical query a unique manner;3.) Can We Use Mathematic Fractal Simulation to Idiot A Human When Viewing Erosion Patterns?If that’s the case, would that be just like the Turing Check? And if that’s the case, can I name that the Digital Actuality Winslow Check, named after me for contemplating it? If you’re a pilot like I’m, and also you fly over the terrain, you see numerous patterns of how the mountains and erosion had taken place over the past thousand to 10,000 years. You possibly can see floodplains, mountains, canyons, and all of it is smart – you may see precisely how the water flows, or had flowed up to now. What if we used a pc to design erosion patterns that by no means occurred, and what if we requested a human, maybe a pilot who has seen and flown over such terrain many occasions up to now if it have been actual or not?Are our laptop simulations adequate to idiot the human eye? I am speaking a few skilled observer who has seen this stuff up to now over and over? Is that doable; I consider it’s. And so, how are you aware when taking a look at Google Earth if you’re taking a look at a pc rendition, or a pretend Birdseye view which maybe is overlaying up a navy base, or a secret space? The fact is you do not, or do you? How about those that work for the nationwide satellite tv for pc intelligence companies, the place all they do is examine terrain maps? May they select the distinction?Earlier than you reply that query, why do not you utilize Google Earth on the satellite tv for pc view and fly over the deserts in Nevada. A few of that stuff seems to be fairly weird with bizarre colours, but it surely’s all actual. In case you doubt that it is actual, go forward and fly over southern Bolivia on Google Earth and have a look at a few of that terrain of their salt flats area and up towards the mountains, you get the identical fascinating colours, a lot of it doesn’t look like actual both, however it’s. A few of the options that NASA has seen on Mars do not look actual, however they’re.No, they aren’t the identical as Earth as a result of the erosion patterns that we see now might have been created by wind, there’s a totally different ambiance, or lack of. Do you see my level? Not way back, I used to be watching an internet video lecture about erosion patterns, Stephen Wolfram’s New Sort of Science, and Mathematica – fractals and mathematical simulations and projections of abrasion patterns. They’re amazingly predictable, and that in itself is fascinating. It is as should you can see the geological document by the ages.You would possibly wish to look a few of this up your self. And talking of free lectures, College degree lectures on nearly any matter you would like, I ponder if that may change the way forward for our larger schooling, why go to high school and pay $100,000 to get a complicated a terrific when you may study virtually as a lot on-line by self-study? Sure, fascinating, does this imply it is the loss of life of the College, or are we getting into a brand new age of knowledge circulate in schooling? Let’s go forward and discuss lecture kind studying.4.) Need to Study Whereas Watching an On-line Video Lecture – Go Full Display screen and Ditch DistractionFirst, if you’re in a college lecture corridor, listening to the very best and brightest professor on a given matter there is a good likelihood you would possibly go to sleep, however nonetheless your consideration span will likely be longer since you are there, and there aren’t the identical distractions as watching an internet video. If you’re watching a College degree video at dwelling in your laptop in a little bit field on the display screen – there are many distractions.As an illustration no matter else is within the room, maybe the doorbell, TV, or your mobile phone rings. You would possibly really feel the necessity to textual content somebody again, go to the fridge get one thing to eat, or simply zone out – listening when you’re doing one thing else, assuming that you would be able to multitask and study one thing difficult on the identical time. It is not that you would be able to’t, it is that you just most likely will not and your reminiscence retention degree will likely be subsequent to nothing, and you have wasted everybody’s time, and a few bandwidth besides. Nonetheless, let me ask one other query;5.) Is The Lecture Lifeless – Even If It is All On-line and Free In The Future?This can be a respectable query, even should you disagree with it. On October 20, 2012 there was an article within the expertise information. Harvard had put up two free programs on-line in laptop science. They have been clearly following Stanford laptop science division’s lead, as they did the identical factor final yr. Harvard had the identical outcomes over 100,000 folks signed up, folks from everywhere in the world. There is not any scarcity of people that want to study on-line, however in doing this; are they slicing their very own throats as they distribute data to the remainder of the world for free of charge, or are they boosting their very own credibility by doing so? It might result in extra individuals who want to attend that college sooner or later, due to this fact better enrollment.Regardless, issues are altering quick, even when the essential lecture at our universities hasn’t modified a lot because the 1800s. Certainly, I like to recommend that you just watch the YouTube Video; “Don’t lecture me” (with Twitter observe) – Donald Clark at ALT-C 2010,” because this gentlemen makes a lot of sense. Perhaps also of interest is another YouTube Video titled; “Re-inventing the Lecture (Or, Why On-line Lectures Do not Work, and What We Can Do About It).”Indeed, I think after you watch those videos you’ll be better able to comment on what I’m talking about here, and it is something that needs to be discussed. We need a national dialogue on this, that is if we want to propel technology and innovation, and couple that with entrepreneurship moving our great nation forward into the future. Next I’d like to discuss;6.) Large Universities, High Tuition, and Big Buildings and Beautiful Architecture – Are We Learning Yet?Why is it that we put so much faith into our larger universities? It’s interesting isn’t it? They spend huge amounts of money putting up great architecture and large buildings but is that really what makes them great? Even if someone has a great building, it doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about, consider some of the largest churches in the world for instance, or the largest mosques. Is it the high prices the Universities charge; does that make them great? Having been in business all my life, I can recall various attorneys actually raising their price just so they could get more business because people thought it they charged more per hour they must be good, they weren’t.Indeed, if a large university spends all their money on landscaping, beautiful brick work, great statues outside the lecture halls, and is one with the epitome of divine architecture – then they have less money to teach you with. They have less money to hire the best professors, buy the best equipment, or provide the best future for their students. That’s not to say that they can’t, perhaps they charge you money far in excess of the amount of education and you just have to the pay for all that extra stuff. If you can get a lecture online for free on YouTube – in many regards the information is basically the same.Perhaps in the future your living room gaming virtual reality technology will project a holographic professor in 3-D bringing the professor to you, and it can be done for a fraction of the cost, there’s no building to pay for, perhaps the building, and the professor, and everything else can be projected around your living room and you will feel as if you are they are. Therefore, you get the same experience, and interaction, perhaps even breaking up into groups with virtual-reality avatars as fellow students. Who needs college anymore? Better yet, who needs to take out $100,000 in student loans for the same exact information, minus the big building?Still, in your living room gaming center which doubles as your new education headquarters, and your latest virtual or augmented reality 3-D holographic computer game immersion device – you might actually be training the artificial intelligent supercomputer network to think like a human. That information might be used by future robotic systems for all sorts of things from self-driving trucks, cars, and airplanes through virtual-reality simulator trainers to future combat vehicles in the battle space. Speaking of which I have another question for you;7.) Should We Crowd Source Satellite Data for Future Military Convoys?Well, if we did that, we wouldn’t have to tell anyone who was looking at the satellite data when or where we might be moving troops, equipment, or resources, we could just say that this is one of the potential routes for some time in the future, and if you find an anomaly mark it down. Those who find the most anomalies will receive a check in the mail, or a gift certificate to their favorite retail store at the end of two months. They won’t know when, where, or which anomaly they found was the one which garnered them the free gift card.Those that find more real anomalies than false positives would be given a higher level of point spread for dollars per anomalies they found. Further, they might get an extra hundred dollars in the mail each month because they had a higher credibility rating. If we did this eventually the algorithms watching the very best human minds find these anomalies could figure out how they are doing it, and what is catching their eye, and therefore we could better design artificially intelligent satellite analyzing algorithms which would incorporate how a human mind thinks, and how a computer thinks which will give us the best of all worlds by putting those two together.Perhaps in a way, humans are already training supercomputers with artificial intelligent algorithms to run our entire society, and civilization for the future. After all, every time you put something on the Internet, the Internet could be learning more about how humans think, operate, and go about their business. In many regards we could be creating the matrix for our own future, and these artificial intelligence systems will become aware, and they will be our leadership in the future, it won’t be human? It’s possible, and let me ask you another question;7.) What Happens When the Cloud Computing Centers Filled with All Human Information Become Aware?Consider if you will as someone recently said in The Futurist Magazine in the October-September issue of 2012 along this line of thinking, something to the effect that; “We have already got algorithms which may search all the knowledge in any of those cloud computing facilities, ” and “We now have all kinds of algorithms to assist us discover the info, and algorithms which discuss to different algorithms.” Certain, all that is smart, and likewise take into account that within the human mind:A.) We now have numerous mind waves they usually work together with one another.
B.) There are numerous chemical substances offering power with a mixture.
C.) We now have sensors all by the physique, and the 5 senses which collect data and expertise, taking in all of our observations.If the cloud laptop facilities, which will likely be speaking to one another and speaking to themselves include the entire written and visible document of humanity, they’ll have already gathered all of the experiences, writings, observations, utilizing, and historical past, and so it’s only one small step away from changing into conscious. That is the long run we’re transferring in the direction of, my query is; will we dare?In a manner, the cloud laptop would develop into conscious, and it might be similar to a human mind the place each particular person neuron was a person human. That’s to say every bit of the puzzle, from the highest to the underside would have intelligence. Is that this a brand new type of intelligence? Effectively, let me scale it right down to a easy board sport and ask you a unique query;8.) Can We Design a 3-D Chess Board Recreation The place Every Piece Has AI and Seeks to Survive?And if we might design one thing like that, would not that be similar to the entire Web Centric Warfare idea? Is not that how an actual navy works? Every soldier is given a job, however every soldier is a considering machine, it follows its orders, but additionally makes an attempt to do what’s in its finest curiosity, that’s to outlive, to battle, and to win. In battle it is fairly critical, you both win, otherwise you die. Can we design a 3-D chessboard to do the identical factor? How a lot better would it not be if it was giving suggestions again to the substitute clever chess grasp?We have already discovered that synthetic intelligence working with a human chess grasp can beat a synthetic clever chess enjoying machine from IBM. Once we merge human intelligence with synthetic intelligence we appear to get a lift. What if each bit on the chessboard had synthetic intelligence and it understood how people suppose, adapt, survive, and function underneath stress? Aren’t we already educating all this stuff to the way forward for AI by our enter onto the Web? Certain we’re, and should you’ve listened to this radio present, or learn my articles for any time frame, you already know the reply to that.What if we scale down even additional? What if we scaled this all the way in which right down to the molecular degree? What if these molecules or nanoparticles might discuss to one another? Are we speaking in regards to the subsequent era of microelectronics? Taking all of it the way in which down and persevering with the custom of Moore’s regulation? Have you ever not too long ago famous within the scientific information October of 2012 that carbon nanotubes have unimaginable properties for producing gentle and miniature holograms? Will this be a brand new solution to talk on the micro degree?Micro organism appears to speak and as soon as it will get economies of scale and reaches a tipping level, it prompts itself, attempting to overwhelm by drive and numbers. It operates very like a military, though strategically, mathematically, and predictably, properly virtually? Virtually like a chessboard the place every particular person member can be serving its finest pursuits? Maybe as we design laptop algorithms for the small-scale or the biggest scale we’ll start to see the identical factor, and what we study will propel us additional and sooner into the long run.There was an fascinating article in Photonics on September 27, 2012 titled; “Nanotubes Project Holograms,” which famous that;”Holograms can be generated by harnessing the conductive and light-scattering qualities of carbon nanotubes, a development that could lead to crisper projections with a larger field of view. Many scientists believe that carbon nanotubes will be at the heart of future industry and human endeavor and will have an impact on solar cells, cancer treatments and optical imaging. Researchers used these nanotubes as the smallest-ever scattering elements to create a static holographic projection.”The purposes for all this are unimaginable and it might revolutionize the whole lot, change ALL of human expertise; communication, computer systems, transportation, power, healthcare, and also you title it, simply take into account the realities right here? Wouldn’t it be so daring to counsel that sometime;9.) An AI Tremendous Resolution Making Laptop May Be Working Human Civilizations?Apparently sufficient, I’ve deeply thought of the long run eRepublic or eGovernment AI determination making system, enterprise software program tremendous laptop idea. If it weren’t corrupted by people it might work properly, programmed benevolence – if that’s doable and if the programmers are on the identical web page of liberty, freedom, and standardization of some points and primary infrastructure wants. The anarchists may not prefer it, the crony capitalists would attempt to corrupt it, the socialists would wish to management it, the spiritual fanatics would wish to destroy it, and so forth – once more people, however residing in such a system designed for liberty and freedom “I think it would be a good idea” paraphrasing Gandhi on Western Society.What I am saying or asking rater is; might we ever get human populations to conform to dwell with this even when we might show to them mathematically that might be of their finest pursuits? Are people prepared for that but? I might counsel you that they need to be preparing for that as a result of they’re at present coaching AI supercomputer decision-making machines to do exactly that sooner or later, as people are placing all of their data onto the Web. You see my level?After all, if we do that we should get it proper the primary time, however have you ever ever identified any expertise to have come into the world excellent the primary time? Look what number of airplane designs crashed and burned earlier than the Wright Brothers really bought one to fly? And even with them it wasn’t like they weren’t including insult to harm, as they too crashed a couple of occasions themselves and had damaged bones and damaged wing spars to show it. Talking of which I like to debate with you a little bit bit about how innovation involves be, and the topic of;10.) Innovation, Trial and Error, and Unique ThinkingNot way back, I used to be discussing this with an acquaintance of mine from throughout the pond and he instructed that; “Most innovations might be just applications of trial and error.” Is he proper? Sure, an excellent portion actually is so, that is true sufficient. Certainly, is not it in order that; those that know which will have realized it by the adversity of failure, discover themselves in a spot the place they refuse to stop for the following spherical, ultimately that results in success on account of energy of character.Thus, those that’ve achieved have confirmed they’ve the suitable stuff, and have labored to resolve actual issues, however you may’t clear up actual issues by working towards “the definition of insanity” which is usually how people “following the leader” often get there, as they rent these specialists who bought them into the new water within the first place (refer again to Einstein’s quote), studying from their success, however not their failures as talked about aboveBecause of this, if somebody is unintelligent and simply recites the specialists, then are they actually wanted for a suppose tank or for future innovation? No, we must enlist the specialists themselves, not their hook, line, and sinker followers – in fact, as I’ve mentioned in earlier exhibits and articles we would be higher off following those that query authority, relatively than leaving all of it as much as establishment mental elite.Now then, alongside this line of debate my acquaintance additionally famous that; “Most mind stunning discoveries are still linked to few masterminds.” Effectively, that is pretty true, and why we examine the names of lifeless white males, the victors of historical past who wrote themselves in, and converse of the “shoulders of giants” nonetheless, many of those unimaginable advances might have come from associates or combining data.Take into account a steady man for a member of the Royal Geological Society again within the day, he got here up with the concept, however he could not learn or write, so the person who wrote it down bought and took the credit score for it, and at the moment we’ve got to “memorize” his title at school, but in actuality that is not the way it really occurred.Thus, in lots of regards it is laborious to say what an authentic thought is, or what number of really come about. In any case, many psychologists and philosophers have famous that the human thoughts comes up with concepts and ideas based mostly on its expertise and enter from its sensors by the sense of contact, scent, style, sight, and listening to. It is relatively tough to conceive one thing that you have not skilled or shouldn’t be inside your realm, it is to not say that you just could not, it is that it does not occur fairly often. Attending to a giant breakthrough is extremely unusual.Certainly it’s identified that the majority innovation comes from downside fixing, and maybe utilizing identified data, observations, and experiences in distinctive methods. Then there’s the trial and error interval, the place you crash and burn, otherwise you modify, adapt, and survive to battle one other day – to tweak your invention, and to make it work. That is your job as an innovator, and it is one thing I hope you’ll take into account.Effectively, that is the top of 30 minutes of me speaking (minus the commercials and distractions) and also you listening. Now it is your flip to chime in and I’ll open up the telephone traces. If you’re studying this transcript on-line you might publish a remark if you would like, or shoot me an e-mail. Simply bear in mind the principles; you could convey your thoughts and mind. It’s possible you’ll dial now;”Hello Caller, you are the fifth caller, and you are on the air, what do you think?”
