| [00:00.22] |
|
| [00:00.66] |
.. from your universe it would look like a black hole |
| [00:02.55] |
Yes, are we ready to be gods? |
| [00:03.86] |
Now, ehh, suppose you came upon this equation and unleash it |
| [00:09.84] |
And give the world the kind of power you're talking about |
| [00:13.05] |
Godlike... power |
| [00:15.24] |
Wouldn't you think twice or three times before you said |
| [00:19.43] |
"Hey! I've got it!" |
| [00:21.52] |
What is the hallmark of science? |
| [00:23.38] |
The hallmark of science is that it's reproducible |
| [00:26.89] |
And in principle ... falsifiable |
| [00:30.07] |
There's no going back the hands have been dealt |
| [00:32.57] |
Life is the only wealth, why stop at managing health |
| [00:34.66] |
Wait til they find out that man is enhancing himself |
| [00:37.65] |
That we now have the technology to kill cancerous cells |
| [00:40.60] |
The Kardashev scale, |
| [00:41.99] |
Don't care if you went to Harvard or Yale |
| [00:44.23] |
If you don't fight for the future, |
| [00:45.73] |
You'll be a part of the sale (they sold the future) |
| [00:48.07] |
You wanted to grow up so fast when you was a kid |
| [00:49.66] |
Now you're trying to get back into shape stay youthful and live |
| [00:52.65] |
What if I proposed a pill that would do what that did |
| [00:55.34] |
You'd live 900 years like Methuselah's myth |
| [00:57.99] |
What would you do with it, would you take it and swallow? |
| [01:00.84] |
Or dismiss the solution and keep the age old problem? |
| [01:03.78] |
I'd want to live to meet my great grand-kid's children |
| [01:06.67] |
I'd love to see an exponential growth in my lyrics |
| [01:09.32] |
Act like if I was immortal, |
| [01:10.77] |
I'd stop being Eddie |
| [01:12.12] |
But I should be able to choose whether to die when I'm ready |
| [01:14.92] |
We have baby pictures of the big bang |
| [01:19.06] |
These baby pictures of the big bang are |
| [01:21.60] |
When the baby universe was about 300,000 years of age |
| [01:24.53] |
So think of a baby being born, |
| [01:26.63] |
We now have pictures of the universe an hour after birth (an hour) |
| [01:31.32] |
We want a picture of the big bang as it's emerging the uterus, |
| [01:35.02] |
As it's coming out of the womb (check it) |
| [01:37.76] |
I never want to die, I shouldn't have to |
| [01:39.76] |
I just want to take to space into the vacuum |
| [01:42.36] |
Give me my own ship, let me explore the cosmos |
| [01:45.60] |
The complex symphony unknown ensemble |
| [01:48.33] |
The powers that be try to tell me to stop |
| [01:50.97] |
But we all hail from a pale blue dot |
| [01:53.07] |
Whether you like it or not |
| [01:54.56] |
Use force to escape inertia |
| [01:56.50] |
And celebrate my emancipation from Terra Firma |
| [01:59.10] |
We are the source of where gods come from |
| [02:02.10] |
Welcome, as we prepare to take you to type one |
| [02:05.39] |
And you know whats more sick, as a war vet |
| [02:08.02] |
I actually feel pretty honored to stimulate your cortex |
| [02:11.04] |
So get lost in the vortex, it's the dark tunnel |
| [02:14.08] |
Approaching the singularity of this dark funnel |
| [02:16.82] |
And they're right as far as Greydon goes, Sagan got him |
| [02:19.91] |
While the more gullible fell victim to the Reagan doctrine |
| [02:22.50] |
Lyrically I want to be this generation's Common |
| [02:25.19] |
They want us to change the message, |
| [02:26.89] |
We'll just change the octave |
| [02:28.29] |
The broken logic, and its basic dangers |
| [02:30.79] |
All this for you to enjoy safe in your stasis chambers |
| [02:33.82] |
Alright, just for the sake ... of this, discussion |
| [02:37.46] |
Let us assume all of this turns out to be true |
| [02:41.25] |
How big a step for humanity would |
| [02:44.52] |
That be toward becoming a type I civilization? |
| [02:48.66] |
Well, this would be an enormous big step with a lot of "ifs" |
| [02:52.25] |
That have to be satisfied, of course |
| [02:54.10] |
We're talking of inexhaustible forces of energy almost for free |
| [02:59.38] |
This would be comparable |
| [03:02.61] |
To the unleashing of steam power - about 150 years ago |
| [03:05.29] |
So it was steam power that revolutionized the last century |
| [03:09.88] |
So we're talking about a new leap on that scale, |
| [03:15.01] |
If these results pan out |
| [03:17.50] |
You know, that's interesting because it has always seemed like a race |
| [03:23.72] |
Between self-destruction on the one hand |
| [03:26.70] |
And attaining type one status on the other hand |
| [03:30.44] |
|
