Emotional intelligence is what humans are good at and that's not a sideshow. That's the cutting edge of human intelligence.

There is one brain organ that is optimised for understanding and articulating logical processes and that is the outer layer of the brain, called the cerebral cortex. Unlike the rest of the brain, this relatively recent evolutionary development is rather flat, only about 0.32 cm (0.12 in) thick and includes a mere 6 million neurons. This elaborately folded organ provides us with what little competence we do possess for understanding what we do and who we do it.

The profound aspect of technology is that once secrets are revealed, the magic doesn't disappear.

We're democratizing the tools of creativity.

By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.

We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.

Our technology, our machines, is part of our humanity. We created them to extend ourselves, and that is what is unique about human beings.
