Greg, welcome back.

I was filled with joy to see that this week you were on the schedule to come in studio and just to see you. And man, I love the continued brotherhood, friendship, and service that we share together. And I'm hoping this conversation can pull along similar threads to our last conversation, diving deeper into some nuance.

You have a new book called Pure Human as well, which follows along alongside a lot of these themes we're going to pick apart today. In 1945, human knowledge was doubling every 25 years on average. Now it's doubling every 12 hours. And we see this exponential rise of technology and human knowledge, and yet, unless coupled with the wisdom to wield those tools, they could contribute to our demise.

And so in many ways, if we don't acknowledge the power within our humanness and slow down to the same capacity we're speeding up, There's going to be a lot of things that we're just not tapping into that we're missing. And so what is that sacredness? What is that power within humanness that we need to recognize?

So I want to hold and put the evolutionary heritage of our untapped human potential. I want to dive into that in a moment. It seems as though, I mean, humanity is baby steps away from super intelligent AGI technology at a scale we had not previously dreamed of. And it's happening much faster than we can conceive of. And in a way, in a sense, it's an inevitability. Like it's happening.

The genie is kind of out of the bottle in many ways. What do you think about the perspective that humanity may very well serve the purpose of the transition between carbon-based to silicon-based life? Like taking out our own, I guess, egocentric human desire to live forever. What do you think about that transition and that perspective?

would you not say it's a small sect of these transhumanists who are really pushing for the complete either or of, you know, like on 2045, which is Ray Kurzweil's Singularity kind of website, says by 2030 to 2035, an avatar with an artificial brain in which a human personality is transferred at the end of one's life by 2045, a hologram-like avatar.

And so there are these, in the sect of kind of materialist, Silicon Valley juggernauts. You know, there are some people that are pioneering this, but there's also many other people that are not as hastily excited to embrace, like, swap human life.
