I work in biotech, and from my understanding the reason drugs in development are not tested on women is because it's unknown at that stage if that drug will affect the reproductive system of a woman wanting to have babies not because of menopause.

[Driver-zm]

I have a very ominous feeling about all of this, I think the further this technology advances the further we get from being unique individuals. I also believe that people who have access to this tech would see people who don't have access as nothing more then cattle furthering the gap between financial classes

[ozarkcyn]

Tom's team needs to get on board with other podcasters who are leading the way to change for the better and use timestamps for the benefit of his listeners.

[MasKpt]

Thank you for this interview. Finally you and Peter are both becoming more ambitious in the way you foresee our future, no longer shackled by our current limitations in a post-AGI world.

[reneeREMichigan]

A huge problem is we have corporations that own countries now, and it does not benefit them to care about human life.

[danijelmaerek]

Peter is like Luke Skywalker. Out in front of all others bravely exploring unknown. But one day he will became Darth Vader joining Borg. We will all be connected, assimilated and only small brave number of warriors will defend humanity. Our leader will have to be Neo Connor-Wan Picard

[kerryxin]

It's interesting when you guys talk about rate of change. I thought about this before, because if I were to put myself in a "simulation", I would want to be in the middle of the most interesting time period. It would seem that we are currently in the middle of a very interesting time period.

[kdowney]

Touched on literally every subject that enfolds my thoughts since 2018. Just spoke at my local city council meeting on the 12th to encourage S.T.E.M. start up. Hopeful they sign the lease on the p3 contract. Literally saved my 62 yr old hubbys life after medical services were denied to him because he couldn't wear a mask in 2020 after several heart attacks (they did kill the back of his heart). Peter's present diet will absolutely extend his healthy lifestyle. Excellent podcast!

[DMWinterburn]

I'm struggling to see where hypothetical meets reality. Because of that I feel like I'm being sold to by a ponsy scheme. Regardless of AI I still have all the mechanisms infront of me for a healthy happy life. Long is just egotistical

[JuliaMcCoy]

"Technology isn't inherently evil. It's how humans use the technology. We have so much potential to live for." I love listening to Peter Diamandis. He is brilliant. 🎯

[mattsmith]

Put the technology down and go for a walk in nature!

[YanErikDecorde]

Thanks for having Peter on your show !

[john]

My #1 goal right now is to tap into the universal consciousness. Religion/Paranormal/Super Natural - it's all ONE. Why does anyone want to live forever in this crappy physical realm? There's so much more out there.

[xavierrecio]

I have watched hours and hours or podcasts and interviews, this by far is one of or THE best one I have ever watched. definitely an eye opener.

[LukeDupin]

I think there are some people that are having more fun than the rest of us. I'm trying to wrap this S up, not stretch it out another 30-40 years.

[AlvaroGilFernandez]

The money-terry system needs an overhaul.
Someone has to think out of the box and imagine first a more just system, make the model and promote it.
We need to add spirituality, good human feelings to our economy system, move away from a profit driven society to a real human needs to solve society.

[tierneyrose]

One of the best interviews yet! Thank you for sharing such quality content Tom.
