E130 - Gregg Braden: Artificial vs Ancient Intelligence: The Rise of Tech Without Losing Our Power

And so one generation, that becomes the way things are done, the next generation through what we call epigenetics. Next generation, children are born and the body says, oh, you know, we don't do it that way anymore. That's a vestige of our past because now we have a new way, a chemical base to develop our immune system. And that's just one example.

So here we are at the precipice of giving our humanness away to technology, replacing our bodies with synthetics and replacing our biology with with synthetics within a context of a belief system that says we're flawed to begin with, and there's no reason not to do this.

where the best science of the modern world is telling us just the opposite, the real science, not the pop science that you see in the magazine covers in the airports and cable news network, things like that, but the real science behind the scenes. Andre, the new discoveries are showing us nothing short of the immensely extraordinary beings that we are.

We are literally a highly advanced, technologically sophisticated, soft technology. Hard technology is computer chips, as we said, and chemicals and sensors under the skin. But we're more than that as human. We're neurons and cell membranes and DNA with the ability to morph and adapt to our environment as that environment changes.

And in many cases, we not only meet, but we exceed the capacity of the computer chips and the artificial intelligence. And there are studies that have been done recently, the Salk Institute here in California, for example. compared a human brain to a microprocessor. And the way they did that is really interesting. They equated the synapses in the brain with the transistors on the computer chip.

And interestingly, the numbers for both are very, very close. And they made the calculations, and with the bottom line, what they found was that the human brain is 100-fold faster and more adaptable to the kinds of information that's coming in than the computer chip can be. And let me just round that out by explaining why, because this is one of the things that sets us apart.

Any technology is going to be limited by the physics of the stuff it's made of. Right now, computer chips typically are silicon. If you go to the periodic table and you look at a little map of a silicon atom, what makes that silicon, silicon is never gonna change. And the distance between those atoms and the geometric arrangement of the atoms to make the silicon isn't going to change.

And information can only flow so fast between those. It's limited by the physics. that makes the silicon, silicon. So you say, what is the scalability of a computer chip? And what we have to say is that the scalability is finite. And you mentioned this Moore's law, was a law referencing the doubling, not only of information, but the doubling of computer speeds and chips as well.
