1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,300
- If you want to, you
know, become a billionaire,

2
00:00:02,300 --> 00:00:03,829
help 1,000,000,000 people.

3
00:00:03,829 --> 00:00:06,412
(upbeat music)

4
00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:09,230
- Peter Diamandis, you are renowned

5
00:00:09,230 --> 00:00:10,920
as one of the world's great futurists,

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,880
and you're the coauthor
of a new book called

7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,360
the Future Is Faster Than
You Think with Steven Kotler.

8
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,130
Everyone is familiar, I think,
with a lot of the theses

9
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:21,980
behind your thinking, but I
think people are not quite

10
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:24,560
so focused on another aspect of change

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,450
that you bring forward in your book

12
00:00:26,450 --> 00:00:29,210
which is the change brought by migration.

13
00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:32,730
Throughout human history,
migration has been a catalyst

14
00:00:32,730 --> 00:00:36,570
for innovation, and you
see a number of migrations

15
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:37,930
that will happen in the 21st century

16
00:00:37,930 --> 00:00:41,620
that will also be forcing from
change and also disruption.

17
00:00:41,620 --> 00:00:42,800
- We're gonna see migrations

18
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,650
of the human species out into space.

19
00:00:45,650 --> 00:00:48,480
We're gonna see continued
migration from the rural areas

20
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,790
into downtown megacities.

21
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:53,650
We're gonna see migration
into the virtual world

22
00:00:53,650 --> 00:00:57,660
as we start to spend more
and more time in a world

23
00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:00,770
which is very future-rich driven by higher

24
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:03,800
and higher resolution, easier
to use virtual reality.

25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,860
We're gonna see climate migrations.

26
00:01:05,860 --> 00:01:08,970
As, you know, sea levels
rise, we're gonna start

27
00:01:08,970 --> 00:01:12,210
to displace people into
different areas, and a lot of it,

28
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:14,210
there's some negative
connotations obviously with that,

29
00:01:14,210 --> 00:01:17,190
but that will continue
to drive innovation,

30
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:18,690
and then one of the most interesting

31
00:01:18,690 --> 00:01:22,090
of these five migrations is
what I call the migration

32
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:23,370
to the meta-intelligence.

33
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:25,610
One of the technologies
we speak about that people

34
00:01:25,610 --> 00:01:28,620
don't really understand how far we've come

35
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:30,860
is connecting the brain to the cloud.

36
00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:33,240
Our neocortex, the
100,000,000,000 neurons,

37
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,190
the 100,000,000,000,000 synoptic
connections in our brain.

38
00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:40,290
We are about on the verge
of connecting to the cloud.

39
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:45,100
How do we connect your brain,
your sensory and motor cortex

40
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:46,810
of your brain to the cloud so that

41
00:01:46,810 --> 00:01:48,320
when you think you can Google?

42
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,810
And a lot of these
transitions are occurring,

43
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:54,750
and they're gonna simply
increase the speed

44
00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:57,070
that the world is changing

45
00:01:57,070 --> 00:01:59,070
and that we're driving innovation.

46
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:01,300
- Another one of the great
migrations which people

47
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:03,960
don't focus on so much is space migration.

48
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,500
Right now it seems like science fiction,

49
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,200
but as your book says, it's
coming faster than you think.

50
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,860
- Yeah, so in The Future
Is Faster Than You Think,

51
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:13,530
I write about the space migration.

52
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:15,240
I'm a child of the 60s.

53
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,560
Apollo and Star Trek
drove me, and the pace

54
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160
of space has bene really
driven by government budgets.

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,750
It's just now that we're
seeing this incredible race

56
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:28,950
between Elon Musk and SpaceX
and Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin

57
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:32,220
where both have the capital
and have the intelligence

58
00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:35,480
and team to build a new
generation of rockets

59
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,620
and capabilities that are
orders of magnitude cheaper

60
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:42,100
than it was the space shuttle
of the Apollo program,

61
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,320
and so I have every confidence
that in the next decade,

62
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,580
we are gonna have private
companies on the moon.

63
00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:52,410
We are gonna have private
companies, if not on Mars,

64
00:02:52,410 --> 00:02:56,660
on the verge of landing on
Mars, and all of a sudden,

65
00:02:56,660 --> 00:02:59,530
you know, everything we hold
of value on Earth, metals,

66
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:01,480
minerals, energy, real estate,

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,429
is in infinite quantities in space.

68
00:03:03,429 --> 00:03:05,790
You know, I write about
this and talk about this

69
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:07,650
that the next trillionaires
will be made in space.

70
00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:11,290
We are the equivalent of the
early explorers of the 14

71
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:14,060
and 1500s looking out to the new world.

72
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:15,160
It's right now.

73
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,871
Whatever we evolve to as
a human species, you know,

74
00:03:18,871 --> 00:03:20,950
100s or 1,000s of years from
now, we're gonna look back

75
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:24,220
at these next two decades
as the moment in time

76
00:03:24,220 --> 00:03:26,730
that we move off the planet irreversibly.

77
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:30,310
It's a beautiful time, and as
we do that, we're gonna have

78
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:32,250
to think about what
laws do we take with us?

79
00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:34,340
What cultural norms do we take with us?

80
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:37,060
Are we gonna reboot new government systems

81
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:38,530
as we go into space?

82
00:03:38,530 --> 00:03:41,970
It's a tremendous period, and
that migration is gonna drive

83
00:03:41,970 --> 00:03:44,743
very rapid innovation and evolution.
