Kevin Kelly is best selling author and editor of Wired Magazine. He is a very advance technological mind that has some very interesting ideas about where we are going.
This is a long video about 90 minutes but worth the watch.

Well I gave it a listen. It sure is interesting. Questions like How do we make a representative democracy for 9B people or about the decisions we make for AIs.

Yeah it is hard to have a representative system with that many people. Technology is helping since we will have to transform to some type of digital voting system akin to how we do it on Hive. Of course, that will probably require a digital ID system which is being worked on by many.
In the end, these types of videos bring up more questions than they often answer. However, it does give us an idea of where some of these people think things are going and bet the ranch, Kelly is not operating in a vacuum. There are others who are working upon what he is talking about although he was general in this one with the focus upon complex systems.

Yea I had way more questions than answers when I watched the entire video. It does bring really good questions how our society will look and what the governance structure will look like. I was thrown off towards the start when he showed the clip of a movie/tv show.

Welcome to futurism. Lots of questions arise no matter what the rabbit hole.
Yeah I didnt get that either to start especially since I have no idea what film that was. So I didnt get how it all tied together.

That looks interesting, I'll have to listen to it tomorrow while I'm at work. That's the one good thing about what I do, I can listen to podcast most of the day.

Kevin Kelly is an extremely sharp cookie. Been following his stuff for a while now.
I think you will enjoy it. Really paints a picture that if you arent familiar with the concepts that might be a bit out there.

Love Wired. Will have to check that out. Subbed to the digital edition a couple years ago for some crazy low price of around $10 a year. They even threw in a free Yubikey. Couldn't beat that with a stick. Each issue downloads to my Kindle Fire. Awesome value!

He is a smart cookie that is for sure.
Kelly is truly one of the futuristic thinkers of our time. He has a great mindset towards the future and complex organisms. A true philosopher of technology.

I'll put on my list of things to watch. 90 minutes is kind of long to watch right now.

Actually Kelly finishes about 60 minutes, still long but a bit more tolerable. LOL

That's still fairly long so I plan to do it when I got some spare time otherwise I might be too distracted to pay attention. But I will get back with feedback within a day or so.

I'll admit I don't really know the guy (although I do know Wired) but I'll save this and check it out later!
