We Have Godlike Tech, But Our Brains Are Still in the Stone Age with Steven Kotler
Now, if you’ve been following this channel for a while, you know I’ve been screaming into the digital ether about the exponential technology curve since 2015. Back then, I was basically a proud, card-carrying disciple of Dr. Peter Diamandis, looking at the early days of AI, blockchain, and tech-convergence and telling everyone who would listen: ‘The future is coming faster than you think.’ Well, guess what? It’s here. We are officially living in it. But as we race toward a world of absolute, unadulterated abundance, we’ve bumped into a massive, slightly awkward paradox. Technology has quietly handed ordinary human beings godlike powers. We are rewriting DNA, building synthetic minds, and reshaping reality at a scale our ancestors would have called a biblical miracle. But while our external tech tools are expanding exponentially, our internal software—our Stone Age brains—are still trying to avoid getting eaten by saber-toothed tigers. So the question isn't whether we can play god. It’s whether we can do it without accidentally tripping over the cord and unplugging humanity. Joining me today is a man who needs no introduction if you care about the bleeding edge of human capability. He is a New York Times bestselling author, and a peak performance expert. He has teamed up once again with Peter Diamandis to drop the ultimate psychological and tactical playbook for our current era: We Are as Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance.
