Everything in our scientific intuition says the world is what it looks like.

And the whole point of quantum mechanics is that we look in the world and what we see is something a little bit different than what the world really is.

Quantum mechanics is central to modern technology about the relationships between humans and computers,

artificial intelligence, consciousness, minds.

It is the way the world works.

We're trying to do this just because we want to understand the fundamental nature of reality.

Are you optimistic that we will find a positive and amical relationship with our technology or other dangers?

There's absolutely dangers. There always are. If you imagine that there is a percentage

probability that a new technology will literally wipe out all of humanity.

What percentage is acceptable?

We're changing things rapidly

and you can point to specific things like climate change

or nuclear weapons or bio-wepons or whatever, but just the fact that we do have these

amazing capacities and are rushing pell melt with them to use without thinking them

through, that's bad.

There's no reason to think we can't figure things out. And putting the effort in and recognizing, standing up, facing up

to the puzzles that reality presents us with is part of what makes us human and

part of what really makes life fun. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
