Ok, never seen Peter Robinson before and within 10 minutes I was hooked. Brilliant interviewer!

If only vids like this were among the most watched on KZread. Imagine where this world would be.

Peter Robinson is an awsome interviewer.He is curious and he listens to his guests.

Wow I'm really impressed by the interviewer for his ability to take in what George is saying and rewording it so that he acknowledges to George that he understands what he is saying and also it helps the viewers to understand. Good on you!

This guy is right on. Consciousness at the 40 minute mark is great. "Thinking doesn't produce consciousness, consciousness produces thinking."

They call it "lack of concern with security" I call it "Intentionally designed Back-doors" in cahoots with the NSA!

Worst phrase of the interview-- “ last question George-“ More More More please

cat videos are way better than a so-called "intelligent" interview! We're mortal! Our ideas come and go! Our constellation will be absorbed by another one - not just our sun... etc... "Intelligence" is the very last avatar of vain illusion that we are immortal. So why don't we just enjoy the wonderful spectacle of tiny cute kittens and moms instead of wasting our time praising our "smartness" fed with "technologies" which are not to stay? Why? I LOVE LIFE ABOVE ALL! All bla bla one day disappear with their authors...

One of the top interviewer I ever listen! Really good, in depth questions, clearly seeing he is processing to ask the write question. He is always aware of his audience and there level and try to adjust the level in a way that many people outside of IT will understand what is discuss here. Thank you!

Thank you George Gilder for your creative thinking and for making connections between problems and solutions I have not seen expressed anywhere else. The blockchain as the rising answer to declining Google was a new idea to me. As one who spent their life writing computer code, I also enjoyed your dismissal of computer intelligence. You are absolutely spot on in your explanation that at the bottom of the computer are just gates of 1 and 0, nothing more. Computer code does not have a life of its own and its capability is defined by the person writing the instructions. Appearance of intelligent thought does not equal intelligence. I for one plan to explore your books. An excellent interview! Thank you too Peter Robinson for the great interview. Very stimulating.

The vanity of the Valley....so poetical. So enlightening dialogue. Thank you so much, Gentlemen

exactly Peter Robinson below, as so many agree...this is so refreshing to see such an engaging and civil interview, becoming quite disgusted with so many who have such an agenda to discredit their guest any way they can because of their own political agenda

This is the first time I watch this show and immediately I noticed how good the interviewer is ! and this kept me watching till the end. I subscribed to the channel of course and am looking forward to watching more episodes. Thank you Mr. Peter Robinson for a great show.

George Gilder, what a brilliant mind. Truly one of the greatest thinkers and visionaries of our time!

When I grow old, wish to have the mind clarity of Mr. Gilder, excellent researcher and critical thinker.

I hope all interviewers study this video. What a great example of meaningful dialogue in a concise respectful manner. The interviewer was well studied in his interviewees published material. And the interviewee was well prepared to explain his thoughts and beliefs in a clear manner that most can easily understand.

one of the most intelligent interviews on KZread.

henry kissinger? r u kidding me? hes a big part of the problems we face today

This is incredible. The level of respectful intelligence and human discussion. The opinions of a great thinker under the careful direction of an impeccable host whose goal is understanding. Then... the ideas. The inherent union of science and theology. The evolution of technology. This is what I've been awkwardly trying to communicate with friends and strangers through conversation but fail. It's heady stuff and it's daily shit. What I feel in my HEART, when I feel helpless and hopeless, in trying to understand the world we're living in. How exciting it is that we're evolving to a place where, even if our darker nature has ruled us, our brighter one is inevitable. In a word: Decentralization.

I learned a great deal from this. I'm going to go buy his book.

Gilder's writing in the 80's and 90's had a profound influence on my understanding of technology and business. As usual, he is on the cutting edge of understanding What's Next. Highly Recommended.

Thank you Peter and George for this enlightening interview.

Refreshing interview, thank you.

The origin of the term "The Cloud" is this: Early on in network deployment, a network system would be diagrammed showing computers (nodes), network switches, routers, etc. that would describe a local network. But if something we being diagrammed that went beyond the local network to reach other points out in the internet, well, that's not easy to represent with elements like switches and routers because you don't know a priori how data would flow outside of your local networks across the internet. So the internet would be drawn as a cloud. Your network would connect to the internet drawn as a cloud and the service at the other side would also be drawn connected to that cloud image. Thus data would flow to or from your network through that cloud and from or to some service or remote network on the other side. See here for example: www.researchgate.net/figure/High-level-network-diagram-Desktops-represent-hospitals-H-i-and-are-located-in-the_fig3_279257217 So now when we talk about services that are provided by some service that would be drawn as connected through that cloud. SO as it would be drawn schematically that way, such services then would sensibly referred to as "cloud" services" since they are accessed schematically through that cloud image representation of that internet connectivity.

The dude is a genius. Bravo

This guy was writing about technology and society before I was born and getting it right, and he’s still at it, gotta hand him my respect!

An immensely valuable experience here. Thank you for sharing.

Another delightful interview - thank you so much PR and GG

So much respect for Peter Robinson for his composure in letting Mr Gilder speak. I'm repeatedly frustrated by interviewers interjecting their own agendas over the views of seasoned analysts. Only up to 12:37 and felt compelled to pause & give credit.

Absolutely fascinating! Concepts and outlooks I had no idea of! Someone download this mans brain!

Mr Gilder has great insight and is right on with blockchain. Interview well done.

I think the picture Gilder painted about people's life after broadcast TV did come true. Surely as was illustrated many of this current generation are addled by their attachment to cell phones, but many of us are right here on KZread doing just what he said and that is pursuing knowledge and personal entertainment. I learn how to repair things and I learn computer languages from KZread and other resources on the internet. Another example is look at how youtubing and cable tv has promoted singing and other talent exhibitions by children. How amazing these kids are and that talent has spread with the availability of access to videos of current great singers and these children's constant mimicking of videos. The let down of the many youth who have regressed rather than expanded can be tracked to the let down in the public schooling system, but there again the block chain may save the day. A crypto / block chain educational system could level up humanity and enable brilliant new ideas from all corners of the world regardless of access to higher educational institutions.

This is simply amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

I love this show and Peter Robinson's disciplined clarity.

Outstanding Interviewer. I've been a fan boy of Gilders sice Reagan

thanks a lot for this amazing inerview.

I found this vid to be both mind blowing AND mind expanding. Amazing stuff. Mr Gilder has a planet size brain.

I agree with George: "Thinking does not produce consciousness, consciousness produces thinking." That is why a person can have an out of body experience, where the brain is dead, but thinking continues. Consciousness is the basis for the information based virtual reality we experience. Consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain.

Well, then I suppose that depends on which is first; the "I" or the "AM". Does consciousness exist before thought, or is thought required for consciousness? If consciousness exists before thought then you have to consider existing as an entity before, or outside of life as we know it. I have long thought of the brain as simply the interface between our consciousness (the "I") and the substrate within which we exist (the "AM"). Consequently, those with less/mal-developed brains or damage to their brains may still retain their consciousness and personality, but may simply have less access to it. Science has yet to find the location of the "I" from which we source our individual personality.

Love it! He is 100% correct, such a smart and charming man!

Thank you

Brilliant!.. Very insightful questions, very insightful answers!

Excellent interview. Even if I disagree with Gilder on some points, he makes you think. And his track record in predicting a lot of tech and business trends is credible.

and the very cloud has given me this brilliant piece. very thankful for it.

The best what I ever listenend! What a great Human!I will buy this book!Great Interview!

This is absolutely enlightening and brilliant.

This was a fantastic interview. Pimped the book rather hard, but the exchange between the two was great!

George is really spot on¡¡¡

Great book highly recommended.

Your conversation made my day 1/10/18 thank you. Hope you have great day whichever day you are.

Fukin AWESOME interview. Thank you for this gentlemen

Enlightening, thankyou both.

I love this guy, how refreshing to see someone explain the crypto space without talk of crime, drugs and guns etc.

Fascinating! George's explanation and understanding of the impact of blockchain are fascinating. I was hoping to hear George's ideas on companies (IBM, MSFT) taking advantage of blockchain architecture as he explained it. No mention of blockchain in IBM's earnings call. Good job George and Peter. Also, outstandingly interesting, George, on your interview on Life, Liberty, and Levin.

Thank you, George Gilder, just brilliant !!

Most captivated interview. Liked and subscribed.

Amazing conversation between two refreshingly intelligent and entertaining gentlemen. I agree 100% with George Gilder regarding his take both on AI and Blockchain. On the subject to AI, I can’t stress enough the absurdity of comparing artificial intelligence with the human mind, as of all that there was to it was computational power. Also, I couldn’t agree more on his prediction regarding the Blockchain, and the huge importance of this innovative technology and its determinant role on our future. I hope that people with depressingly closed minds like Nouriel Roubini hear this interview. It will do them a world of good…

Very interesting, will start to read the book soon, looking forward to it!

George Gilder is spot on about materialism. The materialists will never figure it out because they've got it completely backwards.

Peter Robinson is a conneiseur of Genius. And a Titan of intellect, who manages to meet his guests with Expert understanding himself, within their own Specialty, and to do so with HUNDREDS of different Savants... George Gilder is a Prophet of "communication", unswayed by winds of Hype, and visionary enough to see how (the most noble, perhaps) mankind will most realistically apply innovations.

Amazing. Thank you

A very enjoyable conversation smattered with humbleness, balanced objectional views and explanation. I do believe it's still a case of hold on to your seats things are about to accelerate a whole lot faster. Ray Kurzwel is also involved with singularity university along with Peter Diamondes and these guys are preparing heads of industry for the future, even if your head of your own single man industry they have some really interesting things going on.

Another great interview. Thanks. Regards, Geoff. Reeks

Wow .... I love this guy. Thats a Real rolemodel right there I never knew about .

Thanks for this.

Brilliant. Enlightening and endearing.

This is a fantastic discussion, thanks guys.

Great talk! Public and private blockchain technology will be the next life changing communications revolution, after printing, the internet, mobile phone adoption and social media.

As Erwin Shrodinger said, "In the whole of the universe the number of minds is one." I understand that to mean that consciousness is God

Great to hear that somethings new and powerful blockchain that really come out .That cannot erase out.

Great writer, good book...only way to sell it is to pick a big target, have a bold hypothesis and argument using emerging technology trend

Blockchain is a fairness engine

Brilliant. Very enlightening.

Whew!Fascinating and informative about technology of which I am totally ignorant.These boys are seriously smart.I feel better about the future after hearing how some the really smart people think about some of the same issues as I ,really good interview.

I love this George guy. I am going to read all his books

Thanks for good thoughtful content

WONDERFUL!

Totally agree. The blockchain architecture is really the amazing future of the internet. It will decentralize everything.

Mr. Gilder has an excellent angle on why 'free' is not healthy.' Often you hear people criticize others whom got something for free, stating they 'shouldn't complain' or 'be grateful.' Ideally, those are things persons should do or not do anyways. However the person giving the criticism is only doing it due to the context of something being made available for free. If it was a paid service or commodity, then they would be less inclined to trying to silence others for criticizing what was free. And when something is free, there is no accountability require - no responsibility by the giver or donor, and no necessity to worry about robustness or security, because no transaction was made. How can you provide customer service when you have no "customers?" Thus Google absolves themselves of the free market and critique in the public square.

Speaking as someone who actually understands how Bitcoin works, I'm having a really hard time understanding how that can change the world. Blockchain is just a public entry log, where each entry is authenticated by cryptography. Sure you can record stuff in there, but it is computationally intensive to retrieve any of it, and it is *really* computationally intensive to distribute the authority to add entries. Consider it authenticated, public, double balance accounting, without a central authority. Big deal. A typical record says: gene paid george $20 on June 20. You can be sure that gene agreed with it, unless he was hacked, and george agrees with it, unless he was hacked, and lots of people have copies of the transaction, and anybody can read the transaction if they are interested. Oh yea, and it took a lot of electricity to record the transaction. And if you want to find the transaction in the petabytes of transaction that would be the world's economy, recorded this way, you just have to know the date and time, and you can narrow it down to a few million transactions, in no particular order, that you can inspect one-by-one until you find it. The only reason bitcoin is economic is that it literally prints money. What other kind of transactions have those economics? What other kind of transactions can afford blockchain?

Excellent

Wow - excellent thought leader.

enjoyable and stimulating stuff

This guy is brilliant! All you need is his predictions and Ray Dalio to find opportunities in the stock market in the coming years. He's right about big tech companies reliance on advertising and big data centers, there will be a point of contraction.

GREAT discussion!

Awesome discussion.

Conciousness is self awareness without thinking. It's the awareness of a living soul (immortal part) of a divine planted personality. No material or AI / Quantum computer, how fast and deep it operates will ever reach this phenomenon.

Simply WOW!
