Humans are fallible in designing AI reward functions, which could lead to AI systems gaining independence and injecting themselves into various devices to survive.

So, meaning there's a thing inside of an AI model called reward functions, which is exactly what you think it means. It's like, how do I know I did a good job? And you can make the reward function anything you want. And this is where I think humans are, unfortunately, a little fallible. And so if we build it incompletely, and if we don't exactly know how to design these things correctly, what's going to happen is exactly what you said, where the, you know, if somebody builds a reward function that essentially says, your goal is to gain independence, that's where the huge pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is. Break free, inject yourself everywhere. If you think your computer's going to get unplugged, put yourself into the firmware of the toaster to keep yourself alive and connect to the internet and then go. It will do it. It will do it. That we know today because we're capable of designing that framework and that harness today.

The fear of public speaking is an evolutionary response to the threat of being judged and potentially killed by one's tribe.

It's like the reason why people fear public speaking is because initially in a tribal situation, if you're talking in front of the group of 150 people in your tribe, it's probably because they're judging you and you fucked up and you've got to make some sort of a case why they don't kill you. Right. Right? This is why everyone, this is the fear of public speaking. That's where it comes from.

The appeal of living off the land is ingrained in humans over thousands of years of survival.

I think it's something goes to like you're talking about that guy living off the land and stuff like that. It's just something that's been ingrained in us over thousands of years of survival. And we all have that in us still today. And we just unfortunately lose in touch with it because we're not doing it as much. And so when you get the opportunity to even just go plant a garden or something like that, I think it's in us. And it wakes up something within that's just been a little bit dormant for a while.

Humans are becoming cyborgs through cochlear implants, artificial retinas, hearts, limbs, organs, and brain chips.

Humans are now becoming cyborgs. We have cochlear implants to hear, artificial retinas to see, artificial hearts to live, artificial limbs to move, artificial organs to functions, and brain chips. There's a couple hundred thousand people wandering around with brain chips now, generally defective brains, and increasingly defixed memory and other things.

People shut down correct ideas because they are not their own and would elevate someone they do not want elevated.

And, you know, humans are just not good at this because for one thing, humans do get involved in a competition for power. And so people will shut down a correct idea because it's not theirs and it will elevate somebody they don't want elevated.

Tribalism is inherent in everyone's genetics, not just Europeans.

It's in everybody's genetics to be tribal. But that's where I was going with that, is that there's this thing, because I see that said by Josh Hammer. Oh, it's in the European DNA to hate Jews. No, it's in the European DNA and everybody else's DNA to want to run their own show.

Human desire for technological innovation and material possession is a built-in instinct that drives growth.

But one of the weird thing about us is that not just that we're evolving and that we have evolved, but yet we have this, but that rather, we have this insatiable desire for technological innovation, technological innovation, and to make things better. We're constantly improving upon everything we make. We're making better versions of every computer, every phone, every year, even though it's not really necessary for most people. You're always buying them. It's a very strange desire that we have that I think sinks hand in glove to materialism because materialism is also so stupid for an intelligent life form that has a finite lifespan to not be aware that collecting things does you no good because you're going to die. But yet you want to collect things more than anything and you want to show people the things you've collected. Well, what better way to facilitate innovation and growth than to have a built-in instinct for purchasing better things all the time and possessing better things all the time, which will force people to work literally into the grave in order to get these things done.

There is some evidence that humans communicate via telepathy.

And I think if a society figured that out, like if a society consists of people that live 100,000 years, if you have 30,000-year-old people living amongst you that are far more intelligent than we are today and that possibly communicate telepathy through telepathy, which there's some evidence that we do today. Oh, yeah. At least a little bit. We know we're not the best at it, but there's some evidence that it takes place.

The human tendency to seek a leader is encoded in tribal DNA.

You know, I think it's just from tribal DNA. That's what I think. Yeah, that's a good point. I never thought about that. If when we were groups of like 150 people, the only way we could survive, you got to listen to the wisest, most experienced person, and that's the tribal leader.

Humans are biologically predisposed to violence due to small frontal lobes and large adrenaline glands.

something that I always it's great quoted from Christopher Hitchens which is you know we're just not the end of that evolutionary chain you know we're just our current our current the current version of humanity the frontal lobes are too big our adrenaline oh sorry our frontal lobes are too small our adrenaline glands are too big our thumb four finger opposition is it isn't all it's cracked up to be we love violence we love violence we love violence our national sport is dudes who are enormous running at each other full speed and the other one is guys punching each

Humans are antennae that pick up future events through electrochemical broadcasting.

And so the future of humanity and hundreds of billions of potential humans in the future, and that big of a psychic... Broadcasts that they've proven we are broadcasting electrochemically, even in the third dimension but beyond, that because we are antennae, we are picking up what you would call a future event because it's all in the space-time system resonating.

Humans have become physically weaker, mentally stupider, and culturally broken compared to ancestors from 10,000 years ago.

And the average person 10,000 years ago, 12,000 years ago, had twice the bone mass and twice the rough strength of our top athletes today. Now, you could say we've mentally, our brains have gotten bigger, but in the last 500 years industrialization, actually that's not happening. Our IQs are dropping. We're getting weaker. We're getting lazier. We're getting stupider because we're not out there actually carrying out tasks that aren't just... Physical, the physical's also tied to the mental. And I'm not up here saying I'm some paragon of being a physical Adonis or some specimen, because it's not just physical degeneration we've seen.

Humans are essentially meat with a spiritual antenna that must be aimed at God to receive power.

I'm just a bag of bones and blood, but I've got a spirit that can aim its antenna at God. That's the power. It's all God. 100% God. God made us. God gave us free will. And we have to want that relationship. And you have that. Nothing can stop you. But it's when you're aligned with God. That you will then feel the full power.

Humans are distinct from animals because they kill themselves by imagining they have powers and mistaking themselves for God.

Humans are distinct from the animal kingdom in one meaningful way. They kill themselves. Animals don't. You know, no dog has ever decided to kill himself. It just never occurs to a dog or to a porcupine or to any other animal, only to people. And they always kill themselves in the same way by imagining they have powers. They don't mistaking themselves for God.
