This talk deserves way more attention. It is modern esoterism.

[ElvenWisdom]

Compassion & Kindness is Key to expand further on our growth and grow in a positive direction for the species. Otherwise we become nothing, but cold machines losing our spirituality.

[TheZGALa]

I am so encouraged, being able to listen to other people building a positive amazing future! Thank you for doing the work, and for sharing! Much love.

[NicholasEngerer]

Peter, you are my hero. Finally, someone talking sense into this mad world!

[morganwade]

I love the symbolism of this video. We must communicate to survive.

[meKevinWalsh]

The most important resource we have is not human intelligence, but Love. I know, sounds corny, but intelligence can serve madness just as readily as it can serve good. Human intelligence is but a tool to be used in service. Good talk, btw. I love this stuff.

Also, Love also sees the power of accelerating returns. We use a higher level of consciousness to reach the next just as we use faster computers to create faster computers.

Indeed Mr. Diamandis akin to the quote "Logic gets you from A to B Imagination gets you everywhere/further" Albert Einstien

[LifeOfTom]

Absolutely incredible! I just think how mad tec improves all the time.. mobile phones for example are just mind blowing, in 10 years time.. who know's what they'll be able to do!

[damonclayton]

I love hearing this. The future is coming and you're either getting ready for it and preparing yourself or your continuing to do nothing.

[sebastiangaggero]

It looks so pretty when you do not take into account people’s life quality, the destruction of ecosystems, and the campaigns of misinformation. Besides other stuff like inequality, corporate corruption, and so on and so forth...

[dannybou-maroun]

5 BILLION new minds! Or maybe 0.1 billion new minds and 4.9 BILLION new people watching funny cat videos all day

[blogoosfera]

It's a video that shows that we are on the right path. We just need to believe that we will be fine and put aside our negativity. Thank you very much for this video.

[LeeCarlson]

Mr. Diamandis obviously has no idea how fast humanity has been changing over the past six thousand years or so.

[JustinPark]

This has aged miraculously well. Internet usage estimates are spot on

[dreamcanadian]

My eyes are wide open. I believe this internet of things going to change everything in coming decades.

[madasarbu]

Great show! Thanks! Peter Diamandis is a true legend. You should listen to him on The Art of Charm Podcast.

When I was a a teenager. I would
Of been so excited by all this. Now I am 35 and I see that the human race is over. I’m
Not talking about Armageddon. End of the world. I’m talking about our
Natural emotions and thinking and problem solving. We will control our happiness and sleep and energy like we control the volume on our phone. We don’t need to think anymore. We will be connected to cloud. We no longer put the same species. This is terrible. It’s unavoidable. And it is nothing to be excited about. When we finally
Become like Gods. Then it will happen
