    Jaron says (2006)"I still have my idealism", but his later talks express regret for his former idealism, and he argues against his previous ideologies (even confessing that these were ideas that he started). His rejection of idealism is much smarter and wiser than his younger promotions of technology. His rejection of big ideas and ideologies is what makes him wise, and I was dissappointed to see him pushing the standard lines, then relieved to see that these talks were much earlier than his older and wiser more skeptical personality.

      Grant Lenaarts . I had to write this down, too!. It explains why all ideologies become a hell for those who are forced to live within these "idea" box. I find this man is always surprising and stretching my mind.

    First i saw Mr.Jaron on a motivational video in Sri Lanka.🔥 That video mention about The social dilemma film that made by netflix. Then i watched The social dilemma film.🔥
    By watching that film, i know about "Ten arguments for deleting your social media accounts right now" book that written by Mr.Jeron. Then i red it.🔥 After red that book i got inspire to make a video about Mr.Jeron on my own youtube channel. Then i uploaded it to the youtube.🔥
    After all of that i saw this interview on youtube and on 2021.01.08 now i'm watching this video and put a comment on comment section❤️🙂

    It's nice seeing a time in Jaron's past when he went places wearing colorful clothes, not just simply all black.

    Jaron spoke about the "dismal and foreboding" trends he saw in America all the way back in 2005, before social media took off, and before democratic backsliding and economic collapse kicked off (those all really started in 2007).
    He really is a visionary. He saw what was brewing on the horizon.

    Hey i just found this thanks to my local radio Radio Corax which happened to play this talk.
    I didnt know who or when neither where this was recoreded and by the way he talked i thought it must have been some recent talk - i was recorded in 2005..

    24 min mark..the indirect/ route in how these technological overlords run things is very apt..it's really bigger than the nuclear issue , and governments to me..lanier predicted the rise of this on the human side which is equally as important or more than kurzweils...this unity n division is really as bobas singularity cause were not symbiotic with technology yet..it's most important part of bridge 1..one of the best lanier interviews...

    Read Kropotkin's Mutual Aid: A Factor In Evolution. You will find many intelligent concepts NOT talked about in the media.
    *The shaman is identified as having the ability to transform the nature of something and in this way the comedian who turns tragedy into comedy, the musician who transforms sound into music, and the actor who transforms emotions into characters all meet this criteria.

    Bill Joy to but he is not involved as much in terms of the culture. Kurzweill is really basically telling us what humans should do and are forced to do as oppose to actually doing what is right for the species.

    It means at 21:19 that the most powerful system will be the most insecure in the history of the evolution of this simbiosis [sic]. Thus, external entities could possibly "possess" the system??? Maybe?

    I love he speaks about micro$oft word and how it 'guesses' what you want to do, in the context of a programmer having a cultural effect on the user.
    That's why I'm a fan of open source, well written programs. Because if a machine does something that you don't want it to do, you should be able to make the machine conform to you, you shouldn't have to conform to the machine.
    Politically, that idea is what the US was originally designed around. Is the US still open source?

    I like Jaron but 'digital music not successful'? Dance music is massively, globally successful and has spawned many lifestyles and subcultures. and that's just one electronic genre. Many would say the genres can fulfill Jaron's idea of communicating unenglishable feelings or states of mind.

  • @emill40
    @emill40 Před 11 lety

    Lanier is very against open source. He basically claims that it is a negative force that is impeding the correction of what is wrong with the internet - that it is nearly devoid of providence. Open source generally undermines the ability of artists and other creative people from living off their ideas etc. And why is open source necessary in order to make the machine conform, there is nobody stopping you from writing a better program on your own. The whole thing is stupid.

    Yes, 25:07+, the mind imitates the programs, the programmers program the gadget, the gadget the human mind; Interesting, this guy likes Buckethead I am sure...

    Lanier places far to much value in art, emotion, and culture.
    It is mankinds ability to abstract to a high degree in order to solve problems which elevates us above other animals. No amount of music or sculpture will amount to any benefit equal to that of harvesting a single fruit tree. If you seek to satiate your desires (emotion), then drugs are a far more effective means than art.

      That only makes sense if there is a goal to life. Art makes life livable. Imagine a world with no music, comedy, film , works of aesthetic art, cooking food even etc. These are matters of the soul and is the most beautiful part of being alive. Life would be empty without it.

    I wasted my time listening to this Lanier man. His chosen subjective perspective doesn’t work nor apply to everyone.
