Summary

If we're going to handle this technology well, not just because it could become a god, but because in various ways I think we're going to need to govern it carefully and ultimately collectively, we're going to have to change the way we do business on this planet. We're going to have to approach this as a true cohesive global community.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of know, like, it's, including: We can't afford to keep having all these wars.

Key takeaways
  1. 01And that's a big test because we've never been that before
  2. 02That then pulls us towards mutual gain, which drags us into ever larger, more complex webs of cooperation
  3. 03And in fact, Robert does that in a new book, which I also read while hiking, called The God Test
