In early 2025, @kevin2kelly, one of the most influential technological philosophers of our time, joined Mark and Jeremy on Think on Paper. Before he left, he asked a question: What do we want humans to be? These are the people trying to find out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F0JExq323s

It's Sunday evening and you're looking for something cool to watch about humanoids, space, quantum computing and web3. https://www.youtube.com/@thinkingonpaper/videos

Most people think privacy is a personal choice. Oxford philosopher Carissa Veliz argues it's a collective duty: "Privacy is three things. It's the ability to keep certain kinds of information to yourself. It's also a right, a human right for good reason, not only to protect individuals but also to protect society and to protect democracy." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhFr0SE9QPY

Space. Blue Origin, the demise of NASA and the rise of the private space industry... It's book club time.

Space based solar power can give humanity free, unlimited energy. If that promise is realised, what happens? https://youtu.be/PYZEjCizZLo?si=AgEGcEpDKMn_o6zE

You live in an algorithmic internet distortion cage. Maybe blockchain can fix it...

making your own trailers is the best thing about having a podcast on the enshitifcation of the internet.

Absolutely loved listening to this. Haven't worked out if I agree or not, but that doesn't take away the joy. https://pod.link/1713227258/episode/MzczYzk2NjEtMzQ0ZS00NDI4LWJiYmYtNmZlOWI1OWMzYmMy

Who gets paid when AI makes your music? Who should get paid? And how the hell do you prove it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL8sM2ZxGg4

There are no Mounties on the Moon. If companies mine under domestic law, what stops a land-grab in orbit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU_bdhCRcAk&t=14s

How do you get an old rickety satellite out of orbit?

The quantum circus: Spin qubits, google quantum announcements, wrangling schrodinger's cats and the Silicon Valley Quantum Culture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LeN3VBvG0o&t=2s

“If I give someone a four qubit system, which is a spin qubit, that's like 20 individual parameters they need to optimize to just get the thing working and on. And it's like, how does that scale to millions of qubits?” https://open.spotify.com/episode/2vaIixFyZnYCj78YWhVYqF?si=riAl4VR9Qfm6xevgKG3XlQ #quantumcomputing
