As we look twenty years to the future, we can confidently expect to produce and consume far more than we do today. We’ll have to trust nanotechnology, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence to revolutionize production

Liberal politics believes the voter knows best. Liberal art believes beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Liberal economics believes the customer is always right. Liberal ethics says if it feels good, we should do it. Liberal education says we should think for ourselves and find the answers within us.

Humanity’s next targets are likely to be immortality, happiness and divinity,

humans use to support human superiority is that supposedly only Homo sapiens have a conscious mind. Different from soul, the mind is a flow of subjective experiences such as emotions, pain, etc. The collection of these experiences is what makes up the stream of consciousness. Every subjective experience is made up of two basic characteristics: sensation and desire. Whereas a robot or computer craves nothing and feels nothing, so therefore cannot be said to have consciousness, humans have emotions.

Every subjective experience is made up of two basic characteristics: sensation and desire. Whereas a robot or computer craves nothing and feels nothing, so therefore cannot be said to have consciousness, humans have emotions. This is why we decide that working humans until they collapse from hunger or exhaustion is bad, but doing the same to a robot until its battery is depleted is okay.

why have humans managed to rise up and dominate the planet? Because in the last 20,000 years, we are the only species on earth capable of cooperating flexibly in large numbers. Even species that do work in groups, such as bees, cannot reinvent their social system overnight by guillotining the queen and establishing a republic.

most people think there are only two types of realities: objective realities and subjective realities. For instance, if you go to the doctor with a pain in your head and they find a wound, the wound is an objective reality. But if the doctor runs a lot of tests and can find no cause for your head pain, then your pain becomes a subjective reality. But there is actually a third level of reality: the intersubjective level, which depends on communication among many humans rather than on the beliefs and feelings of individual humans. Money is a good example of intersubjective reality. As long as everyone keeps believing in money’s value, you can use it to buy all kinds of things. But when people stop believing in the value of that money, then the money becomes worthless,

Someday, you may even turn to Google, which has read all your emails and internet searches and looked at your bank account and DNA and sugar levels and blood pressure and heart rate, to determine who you should date. But this is also where liberalism collapses, on the day that the algorithms know you better than you know yourself.

The future is created not by backward looking masses but by forward thinking innovators. In the early 21st century, the train of progress is once again leaving the station, and the author believes this will probably be the last train to ever leave the station of humanity. In order to get on board, you have to understand 21st century technology, in particular biotech and computer algorithms. The main products of the 21st century will be bodies, brains and minds. When genetic engineering and artificial intelligence reveal their full potential, democracy and free markets will become obsolete too.

Traditional views of the world as a finite pie says there are only two kinds of resources: raw materials and energy. But there are actually three: raw materials, energy and knowledge. In contrast to the other two, knowledge is a growing resource. The more you use, the more you have.

In humanism, murder is bad not because of a commandment against it, but because of the terrible suffering it causes the victim’s loved ones.

Robots and computers are replacing human hands in factories, hotels, and fast food restaurants. Self-driving cars are eventually going to start replacing taxi drivers and chauffeurs. Take for example what has already happened to bank clerks and travel agents, once jobs that were all protected from automation, which are now endangered species. Stock traders are also being replaced by computer algorithms, which can react and make decisions so much faster than humans can.

Teachers are being replaced by interactive algorithms that can teach students on a far more customized level, such as the ones being developed by companies like Mindojo. Doctors are under attack from the job replacing algorithms, such as IBM’s Jeopardy game show winning Watson computer, which is now being groomed as a medical diagnosis machine. And unlike with spending years training just one doctor at a time, every technical challenge that is beaten while training Watson will ultimately produce an infinite number of well trained doctor “machines.” Algorithms are already being appointed to fill seats on company boards, such as in May 2014 when a Hong Kong venture-capital firm, Deep Knowledge Ventures, appointed the algorithm VITAL to its board. VITAL studies vast amounts of data then gets to vote on whether the firm makes an investment in a specific company or not.

Throughout history the job market has been divided into three main sectors: agriculture, industry, and services. Up until 1800, most people worked in agriculture. During the Industrial Revolution more people worked in industry, with an increase in services. In the last few decades, the industrial jobs began to vanish, so all those people moved over to services. In 2010, 2 percent of Americans worked in agriculture, 20 percent in industry, and the rest in services. But what will happen to jobs in the 21st century?

the algorithms might actually come to own businesses instead of just managing them, and humans could end up working for and paying rent to algorithms. Before you say this could never happen, remember that we’ve already made it legal for entities such as Toyota to own land and money, sue and be sued in court, and so on. So what will people do in this kind of a future?

Many new jobs are likely to appear in the 21st century. The crucial problem will be creating new jobs that humans can perform better than algorithms. The tech bonanza will probably make it feasible to feed and support the useless masses effortlessly. But what will keep them all occupied so they don’t go crazy? One solution might be drugs and computer games, or 3D virtual-reality worlds. Some experts warn that the AI might just decide to exterminate humankind to avoid a revolt. Of course, we don’t really know what the human mind might come up with in the future. And those algorithms might end up saving our lives, too.

If you mean you have free will because you act according to your own desires, then yes, you have free will the same as chimpanzees, dogs and parrots do. But the big question is whether we all can choose our desires in the first place. Humans feel a particular wish due to biochemical processes in their brains. These processes may be deterministic or random, but they are not free. We can prove this using brain scanners that predict people’s desires and decisions long before they are aware of them.

How can I withdraw money from my trust account? {1-833-611-5006}Why Restrictions Exist Unlike ordinary accounts, restrictions on withdrawals in trust accounts are intentional {1-833-611-5006}. They stop the premature depletion of assets and guarantee long-term sustainability for the person or group the trust was designed to protect {1-833-611-5006}. Instead of quick access, many trusts provide structured payouts such as monthly income, percentages of overall assets upon reaching specific ages, or funds only under special needs {1-833-611-5006}. This balance of accessibility and control prevents short-term impulses from undermining decades of financial protection {1-833-611-5006}.
