[00:00.22]
[00:00.66].. from your universe it would look like a black hole
[00:02.55]Yes, are we ready to be gods?
[00:03.86]Now, ehh, suppose you came upon this equation and unleash it
[00:09.84]And give the world the kind of power you're talking about
[00:13.05]Godlike... power
[00:15.24]Wouldn't you think twice or three times before you said
[00:19.43]"Hey! I've got it!"
[00:21.52]What is the hallmark of science?
[00:23.38]The hallmark of science is that it's reproducible
[00:26.89]And in principle ... falsifiable
[00:30.07]There's no going back the hands have been dealt
[00:32.57]Life is the only wealth, why stop at managing health
[00:34.66]Wait til they find out that man is enhancing himself
[00:37.65]That we now have the technology to kill cancerous cells
[00:40.60]The Kardashev scale,
[00:41.99]Don't care if you went to Harvard or Yale
[00:44.23]If you don't fight for the future,
[00:45.73]You'll be a part of the sale (they sold the future)
[00:48.07]You wanted to grow up so fast when you was a kid
[00:49.66]Now you're trying to get back into shape stay youthful and live
[00:52.65]What if I proposed a pill that would do what that did
[00:55.34]You'd live 900 years like Methuselah's myth
[00:57.99]What would you do with it, would you take it and swallow?
[01:00.84]Or dismiss the solution and keep the age old problem?
[01:03.78]I'd want to live to meet my great grand-kid's children
[01:06.67]I'd love to see an exponential growth in my lyrics
[01:09.32]Act like if I was immortal,
[01:10.77]I'd stop being Eddie
[01:12.12]But I should be able to choose whether to die when I'm ready
[01:14.92]We have baby pictures of the big bang
[01:19.06]These baby pictures of the big bang are
[01:21.60]When the baby universe was about 300,000 years of age
[01:24.53]So think of a baby being born,
[01:26.63]We now have pictures of the universe an hour after birth (an hour)
[01:31.32]We want a picture of the big bang as it's emerging the uterus,
[01:35.02]As it's coming out of the womb (check it)
[01:37.76]I never want to die, I shouldn't have to
[01:39.76]I just want to take to space into the vacuum
[01:42.36]Give me my own ship, let me explore the cosmos
[01:45.60]The complex symphony unknown ensemble
[01:48.33]The powers that be try to tell me to stop
[01:50.97]But we all hail from a pale blue dot
[01:53.07]Whether you like it or not
[01:54.56]Use force to escape inertia
[01:56.50]And celebrate my emancipation from Terra Firma
[01:59.10]We are the source of where gods come from
[02:02.10]Welcome, as we prepare to take you to type one
[02:05.39]And you know whats more sick, as a war vet
[02:08.02]I actually feel pretty honored to stimulate your cortex
[02:11.04]So get lost in the vortex, it's the dark tunnel
[02:14.08]Approaching the singularity of this dark funnel
[02:16.82]And they're right as far as Greydon goes, Sagan got him
[02:19.91]While the more gullible fell victim to the Reagan doctrine
[02:22.50]Lyrically I want to be this generation's Common
[02:25.19]They want us to change the message,
[02:26.89]We'll just change the octave
[02:28.29]The broken logic, and its basic dangers
[02:30.79]All this for you to enjoy safe in your stasis chambers
[02:33.82]Alright, just for the sake ... of this, discussion
[02:37.46]Let us assume all of this turns out to be true
[02:41.25]How big a step for humanity would
[02:44.52]That be toward becoming a type I civilization?
[02:48.66]Well, this would be an enormous big step with a lot of "ifs"
[02:52.25]That have to be satisfied, of course
[02:54.10]We're talking of inexhaustible forces of energy almost for free
[02:59.38]This would be comparable
[03:02.61]To the unleashing of steam power - about 150 years ago
[03:05.29]So it was steam power that revolutionized the last century
[03:09.88]So we're talking about a new leap on that scale,
[03:15.01]If these results pan out
[03:17.50]You know, that's interesting because it has always seemed like a race
[03:23.72]Between self-destruction on the one hand
[03:26.70]And attaining type one status on the other hand
[03:30.44]
