  • Really enjoy

    I really enjoy your podcast. But as a layman I feel like I need a source to cite what some of the companies and people you talk about. When you talk about certain companies or people it sounds fascinating but I don’t know who they are.

Peter Diamandis: AI Will Cure All Disease, Reverse Aging, and You Have to Prepare
Q: So are we talking about digital twins, cryonics, mind uploading? So what are we talking about? Are you personally planning for it?

Peter Diamandis: AI Will Cure All Disease, Reverse Aging, and You Have to Prepare
Q: Let me ask a different question before you answer that. Are you still religious?
I am spiritual. I believe there is a force we call God in the universe that is deeply connected to love, and my experiences have deepened that belief, but I don't rely on traditional religion as the sole guide.
