The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.

When I was a student at MIT, we all shared one computer and it took up a whole building. The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful. What now fits in your pocket 25 years from now will fit into a blood cell and will again be millions of times more cost effective.

By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people.

Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.

A lot of movies about artificial intelligence envision that AIs will be very intelligent but missing some key emotional qualities of humans and therefore turn out to be very dangerous.

I do have to pick my priorities. Nobody can do everything.

Biology is a software process. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, each governed by this process. You and I are walking around with outdated software running in our bodies, which evolved in a very different era.
