    There actually are flying cars.
    They’re just waaay too expensive, like, 3 million dollars.

    I think that this video is for the optimistic, I believe that every word this man has said could happen. And it probably will happen, in my opinion.

  2. Wamuigi Says:

    What he says may become real. Plus, I think that augmented reality is going to be a big part of it.

    yes…its called a thesis

  4. cjla1987 Says:

    The thesis was at the end of the video. The thesis must underline all the points that were given in the 20-minute-speech. In just one sentence he did it: we are in the One and the One is in us.

    interesting, as single celled organisms began to interact and communicate with each other they linked up and became multi cell organisms, will it work similarly for us?

    Foolish fools! Nothing can stop the evolution of the One’s consciousness; once it becomes sentient it will control the world! te-he-he!

    …and my last closing argument: “tower of babel” this is a means to an end, we are human and humans rebel against collective thought institutions. he did however, speak well and it made sense.

  11. Parson2 Says:

    We are just repeating evolution, but faster.

    People are equivalent to unicellular organisms who currently clump together forming a little microenvironment and do a so so job of talking out the trash to retain homeostasis.
    We are evolving towards the new equivalent of a multicellular organism whos nervous system is the web.

  12. Parson2 Says:

    But this nervous system will be able to talk to each individual cell(me and you), independently and simultaneously.
    And this new “organisms” cells will be sentient(as we know it/unlike our own cells) enabling a two way conversation.

  13. Parson2 Says:

    Wait to “see”/”think out” what will happen when not only are our internet connections, but all our transiters are replaced with quantumly entangled particles which transmit information instantaneously(yes faster than light).

    The speed of thought will…..

    Cognitive Psychology meets the machine :) encoding, storing and retrieval as a memory model- learning by categorising ideas to concepts to schema’s is how we humans operate-we link everything just like google. Isn’t it funny how the internet evolved by this model?

  15. johnconnolly111 Says:

    Pathetic…the internet is NOT a machine…its individual servers which have web pages on, so on that basis, this whole video is flawed and therefore irrelevant…take this bullshit down please

    The validity of this presentation is not dependent on whether you accept the referent ‘machine’ to describe the phenomenon which this author speaks of and which is empirically evident.

    oh so the servers you are mentioning couldn’t be parts of a machine? machines only come in 1 inseparable part? FAIL!

  22. vinovampire Says:

    Do we really “have to get better in believing the impossible,” or do we need to learn that we have NO clue what will happen in the future based on anything we’ve known in the past? I’d venture to say that the second lesson is much more important. These vague predictions are no more likely to be true in 5,000 days than any other guess, except perhaps if one were to say that the future will most likely be different from today.

    Hahahaha this guy just answered his own question by conversing with himself for 19:07 seconds…i wonder how long it took him to prepare his analogy.

    Seriously its taken 50years of our best computer engineers to be where we are today with computers,why ?? because it is a product firstly for military followed by you and i 20yrs behind. It even depends on the country you live in so add another 10.
    Come on cars still run on oil, Tesla was using wireless communication over 100yrs ago.GREED stop us
