To say that something has a positive contribution, we need to know the common terminal goal first.

No. It just has to make people happy or healthy.

To say that something has a positive contribution, we need to know the common terminal goal first.

No. It just has to make people happy or healthy.

So you think that being happy or healthy are the common terminal goal. Why not both?
How do you define happy and healthy? Do they refer to the same things for everyone? If not, what's the difference?

Can we live forever in the cloud? Will we ever bend time to our will?

Can we live forever in a machine?

Imagine you pass away but your brain lives on as an android. Well some scientists are working on this already, they are trying to map the ENTIRE brain and upload it to a computer. Dr Josie Peters leads a group of scientists to tell us if we can really live forever.

With all the possibilities that science will provide, it becomes increasingly important to understand about the universal terminal goal and how to achieve it effectively and efficiently. Also identify the obstacles to get there, and how to overcome them.

Giving birth is dangerous. Are artificial wombs a solution?
Full ectogenesis is the idea of conceiving a baby in vitro and gestating the child for the entire gestational period of 40 weeks.

We already have partial ectogenesis implemented in neonatal intensive care units across the world from 21 weeks of gestation to full-term. This means almost half of the gestational period required to make a healthy human being can happen outside of the body already.

Traditional natural gestation is very costly, and it's often one of the most dangerous things that many women will choose to do. Artificial wombs allow women to choose where they want to direct their labor and their physical resources, while also not sacrificing having children.

I think fears of artificial super intelligence (in pop culture, specifically) are a bit overblown. I lay out my case in this vodeo.

SpaceX's Starship launch vehicle has the potential to explore the solar system in a bold, new -- and supersized -- way. Planetary scientist Jennifer Heldmann talks about how reusable, large-scale spacecraft like Starship could help humanity achieve its next galactic leaps and usher in a new era of space exploration, from investigating the solar system's many ocean worlds to launching bigger telescopes that can see deeper into the universe.
