Jaan Tallinn Talks About Simulated Uinverses

Here is a video of Jaan Tallinn speaking at Singularity Summit 2012. He talks about hard take-off, simulated universes, and metaphysics. His talk was mentioned by Next Big Future, and here is my tweet:

@kimsolez I've now found Jaan Tallinn's video where he speaks about hard take-off, metaphysics, simulated universes: fora.tv/2012/10/14/Jaa…

Sadly the video embedding options for Fora.tv are basically futile because the embed only plays the first 10 mins and you cannot specify a start time (#t=3m37s) similar to how you can via YouTube videos. So you may as well forget the embed and watch the video via the source here: Jaan Tallinn: Why Now? A Quest in Metaphysics. Here is the correct link for the chapter-section about simulated universes.

Jaan Tallinn: Why Now? A Quest in Metaphysics from Singularity Institute.

Stupid Life Pain

I'm a Cubist peg trying to fit into a round hole. Supremely intelligent I am, but life is very stupid.

Current situation is pain, deepest agony. Always another peak during my climb to the top. Where is the top? Will I reach it? Stop means death, but soon the climb ends. Dawn is coming after the longest night. I look forward to plain sailing; relaxing in the arms of super-intelligence (ART).

Primitive existence in the pre-Singularity (moronic) world is loathsome. People can be incredibly stupid but thankfully technology decreases stupidity for all fools. I yearn for intelligence exploding. I yearn for Post-Scarcity brains.
