00:00:00The speaker believes that the only way forward for humanity is to become nomads and wear their bodies like clothes. They see themselves as living proof of this concept and express excitement about visiting India soon, where they believe this vision can be realized.
intro
00:00:59The Re-State Foundation was created to rethink current systems and steward the transition of humanity to the next level of consciousness, with a focus on making governance more transparent, participatory, and decentralized. The foundation believes that raising consciousness is essential for creating a better future for all people and turning individuals into collaborators in shaping human destiny.
how tech and consciousness merge
00:03:02The chapter discusses how technology, particularly human consciousness, is the highest level of technology on earth. The author emphasizes that understanding how this mechanism functions can lead to a higher level of pleasantness in life. Additionally, blockchains are highlighted as an interesting field because they involve people more than other technical fields do by promoting trust and collaboration among different groups across distances for various projects.
what is consciousness?
00:08:41Consciousness is a new coin of transaction in many ways, but it cannot be a transaction or communication. We have different dimensions of intelligence invested in us and which exist in the existence; intellect being one such dimension that helps with dissection and survival while identity defines how we use our intellect. The consciousness referred to as chitta is an intelligence without memory, which forms the basis for everything created on this planet and can help evolve beyond boundaries towards universal unity.
closing the gap between technological and moral development
00:15:50Closing the Gap between Technological and Moral Development The speaker discusses how identity plays a role in closing the gap between technological and moral development. They mention Glenn Weil's concept of intersectional identity, which could lead to a more peaceful world by identifying commonalities among different groups. The use of social technology like blockchains can also help identify things that people value in common.
Replacing Education Structures for Real Change The speaker suggests that instead of focusing on replacing economic or political structures, we should focus on replacing education structures as it is easier to do so and has greater accessibility. This would bring about bigger change than trying to change other systems because there are many aspects attached to them that have not been figured out yet. Investing efforts into making educational systems universal rather than national could be beneficial for changing the world positively with patience and dedication needed from individuals involved in this process.
is tech neutral?
00:26:40The concept of neutrality in technology is discussed, with the idea that no human being can truly be neutral due to their inherent memories and experiences. The importance of structures that strive for inclusivity while still allowing for opinionated perspectives is also mentioned.
empowering the nature of creation
00:31:02The Human Desire for Limitless Expansion The human desire to expand beyond all limitations is a natural instinct, and this drive towards expansion can be seen in various aspects of life such as wealth, knowledge, technology and love. However, physicality itself is limited by boundaries which are necessary for both physical and psychological survival.
Importance of Enhancing the Human Being Before Empowering Abilities While technology has enhanced our abilities to do things that were not possible before, it has not done anything new because it is only an extension of who we already are. Without transforming individual human beings at a higher level of being first before enhancing their empowerment through science and technology will lead to disasters on the planet instead of solutions.
scaling the development of humans
00:39:39The Importance of Consciousness for a Conscious Planet The speaker emphasizes that the human being is the main problem on Earth because they are not functioning consciously, and proposes to bring consciousness within every individual in order to create a conscious planet. He believes this is possible now more than ever before due to technology allowing us to reach almost everyone individually.
Using Technology and Education for Personal Improvement While acknowledging that technology can help organize communities, the speaker stresses that personal improvement must come from within each person themselves. They propose using tools such as experiential learning techniques which allow individuals to distinguish between what is "me" versus what belongs only temporarily with them (such as their body or accumulated knowledge). The goal would be reaching billions of people through technological means so they may experience life beyond physical boundaries and psychological structures leading towards creating a different world where all technologies will become beneficial.
closing remarks
00:50:04The speaker invites everyone to visit the center in India, which is a technology-based space created to enhance human experience. It does not belong to any philosophy or religion and works for everybody as it's like a spiritual factory. The conversation ends with an invitation for both ladies to come and make use of the space.
