Are tech bros’ favorite books inadvertently destroying our future? 
What do people like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg have in common? Along with using technology to make all the money in the world, they also love sci-fi books. But what if this wholesome love of literature is actually problematic fanfic that’s reshaping the future of reality itself? Let’s find out in this Wisecrack Edition: How Tech Bros Get Sci-Fi So Wrong.

How Tech Bros Get Sci-Fi Wrong

I think that one of the most useless quests that we humans undertake is the search for the meaning of life

I think that one of the most useless quests that we humans undertake is the search for the meaning of life.

Rare Earth

Ok everyone, it's time we had a quick chat about the future.

Francesco is gone. And while we are all wishing him the best in what is undoubtedly the right decision, the kid was 50% of this series. He was the heart. It's not a simple transition to lose him.

Yet, most clouds have silver linings, and in his life upgrade, it has me thinking about my own. I'll be releasing an update video to explain further when able, but to summarize, starting in the upcoming season in the Horn of Africa, I think I'm going to split our content into two different categories. I haven't yet thought of what to call them.

Essentially, I want to make better content, in all directions. And to me, that means drawing a clear divide between the videos we make that are legitimate, and those that are just me free wheeling around a camel market. They both deserve to be seen, but they aren't the same thing.

All of this is going to take some time to figure out, and the upload speed from where we are makes weekly videos impossible anyway. So, for the time being, I'm unfortunately going to have to take a hiatus.

Apologies to those who need your fix. I'll be back with a bigger dose in no time.

All my love to everyone who cares about our little series,
Evan

Professor James Robinson is a leading developmental economist, political scientist, and New York Times bestselling author.  His book is Why Nations Fail.  It proposes an institutional explanation for why some societies are dynamic and prosperous and others are not.  He has fascinating examples from the present day going back to the Roman Empire.

BRIAN GREENE:
Brian Greene is an American theoretical physicist and string theorist. He has been a professor at Columbia University since 1996 and chairman of the World Science Festival since co-founding it in 2008. Greene has worked on mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi–Yau manifolds (concretely, relating the conifold to one of its orbifolds). He also described the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold point.

Greene has become known to a wider audience through his books for the general public, The Elegant Universe, Icarus at the Edge of Time, The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Hidden Reality, and related PBS television specials. He also appeared on The Big Bang Theory episode "The Herb Garden Germination," as well as the films Frequency and The Last Mimzy.

TRANSCRIPT:

Brian Greene: A quantum computer is a device, a technological device that, in principle, would harness the full capacity of quantum mechanics to undertake calculations that a standard computer would be absolutely unable to achieve. One way of thinking about it is this. There’s an approach to quantum mechanics where one imagines that there are many, in some sense, parallel realities moving along in some larger environment if you will. Where, for instance, if I want to measure an electron, quantum theory says, "Well there’s a 50 percent chance it’s there and a 50 percent chance it’s over there." Now what does that mean? Well one interpretation says well there’s actually two universes and in one universe the electron is here and in another universe it is over there. That’s kind of a crazy-sounding idea but a quantum computer perhaps can harness that by doing some calculations over here and other calculations over there in parallel. Now it’s doing, in some sense, twice as many calculations as a classical computer existing in one world would be able to do. Now imagine taking that idea and spreading it over all of the possible realities allowed by quantum mechanics. Now you’re harnessing all of these different worlds, if you will, to do all of these calculations in parallel much faster, much more powerful. Doing calculations that in a single universe would be impossible. So this is one way of thinking about it and it offers amazing possibilities and we just need to see how successful we are at harnessing these ideas to actually put it into practice. And we don’t know yet. We’ll see going forward, but it’s an exciting possibility.

If Your Computer Existed In Multiple Universes, It Would Be Way Faster  | Big Think.

The last couple of years have taught us a lot.

Like the value of social ties and community,

how absolutely inextricable technology is

the boundary between our physical and digital selves

more like science fiction than ever before.

from the co-founders of Google to Elon Musk,

And while sci-fi has its fair share of cool lasers

it's also uniquely positioned to explore big ideas.

Let's find out in this Wisecrack Edition:

Oh, and spoilers ahead for a few great works of sci-fi

I wanna tell you about this week's sponsor: Keeps.

and more affordable for guys to prevent hair loss.

will experience hair loss in some form by the time to 35,

Keeps is relevant to a lot of people out there.

Keeps for access begins with a free consultation

and over-the-counter medications are right for you.

These medications will arrive at your doorstep

so you don't have to leave your house to pick up refills.

But here's one question we can answer right off the bat.

it typically takes between four and six months

If you are ready to take action and prevent hair loss,

Sci-fi has always inspired real-world tech.

Fritz Lang's 1929 film Woman in the Moon,

helped humanity add space flight to its to-do list.

consulted with Lang to envision the space shuttle,

bringing in ideas like multi-stage rockets

for both practical and aesthetic reasons,

have become foundational to space travel.

The movie was also beloved by America's Pet Nazi,

who went on to design the Apollo spacecraft.

cite early sci-fi novelist Jules Verne as a key inspiration.

One of the Apollo 8 astronauts, Frank Borman,

Jules Verne is one of the pioneers of the space age.

they invariably cite both classic and contemporary sci-fi

treats the Neal Stephenson novel, Snow Crash

who apparently made it required reading for new recruits.

Elon Musk says that Isaac Asimov's Foundation

of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

And Peter Thiel has described his vision of the future

as uniquely inspired by sci-fi writer Robert A. Heinlein.

It's no surprise that an industry dominated by nerds

some works are invoked a lot more than others.
