ray kurzweil and peter taylor who

2:34

invented pay power they were like putting

2:36

all that money into creating sentient

2:39

robots and the idea was that the more

and more information you pile into these robots

2:44

and ones that there was just kind of burst

2:46

into actual consciousness

2:49

i've ever heard most amazing person

11:58

martin was with

11:59

on a , she was born martin

12:03

and it did ordinary how father

12:05

12:07

he went on a tour of nasa

12:11

and had and brain ways he thought

12:13

hundred a minute if he can double the

12:15

power of satellites he

12:17

can shrink that's like

12:19

dishes i have fun and do it again and again

12:22

and again ah , a satellite

12:24

dishes laptop bag and

12:26

so

12:28

the did it

12:29

the managed to get enough money to launch the satellites

12:31

into space cause serious at

12:34

that moment invented a

12:36

concept of satellite radio

12:38

for cause invented ,

12:40

sirius satellite network and

12:43

they bought her back family convinced howard stern

12:45

to go sweat and that's why

12:47

satellite radio for cause exists

12:50

i'm and

12:52

the world became a billionaire artifacts

12:55

change and then i'm when

12:57

her daughter

12:58

seven a doctor and

13:02

i used to live a daughter that

13:04

at a time she's ten tomato

13:07

a lot

13:08

anyone with

13:13

there's you want a library and i taught

13:15

at an unsuitable lung condition called

13:17

pulmonary hypertension and

13:19

, in the library martine

who knew nothing about lungs or

13:24

treatments insensitive

13:26

treatments the pulmonary hypertension

martins to to as a

13:36

sea change the world the second time

13:40

and now she's trying to change the third time with

13:42

the third sudden seem to robots what they're doing

13:44

is tylenol have been his thoughts

13:46

and memories and feelings into been forty

13:49

eight to make anything but one day it's the kind of how

13:51

so much stuff and to us is just gonna kind

13:53

of earnest spontaneous life was a

13:55

have to say it's is where i think martines

13:57

genius kind of runs out because

14:00

it were a little wikipedia would

14:02

have burst into spontaneous less

14:06

the only way to kind of sad antics he knows that

14:08

been a forty eight said it said

14:11

the best

14:13

she can hope for is that may be somebody else

14:15

is going to come along and drove inspiration

14:17

from the robots and you know maybe the

14:19

hadn't before to come along and build something

14:22

much greater than , a forty

14:24

eight m

14:26

that's ever gonna sad ending to the store except for one

14:28

thing something that bruce told me preset

14:31

that's what i probably can do

14:33

is the kind of out another road the

14:36

17:17

bear he was recorded in october

17:19

twenty eighteen at beer bear in in washington

17:21

dc the theme that night was

17:24

times

17:36

i'm driving back my house

17:39

and across my phone

17:41

is an alert that flashes and i

17:43

see the word

17:45

oh bear por

17:47

and i am excited and

17:50

anxious the same time

17:52

i'm i get home i open my laptop

17:55

and i opened my email and

17:57

what's weird the alert is from my

17:59

boy

17:59

the email and no one reads

18:01

lot

18:04

and then i keep reading and it's from

18:07

a producer or person claiming

18:09

to be a producer from the colbert report

18:11

and immediately google her name and she is in fact

18:13

a real person then

18:16

she had been reading the story

18:19

in the associated press and other news articles

18:21

about this man who had lost some

18:24

buckets of mollusks and

18:27

my blog post is the only thing that exists

18:29

on the internet that clarified that they were specifically

18:33

samples for me a graduate student

18:35

that student that named andy

18:37

mais had lost and

18:39

those samples are actually specifically

18:42

scallop go down only

18:47

a few days prior i think i'm

18:49

i had been sitting in a parking lot at the

18:51

some though one stop which is the gas

18:53

station amount desert island

18:56

and the coast of maine waiting

18:58

to meet up with the one and only andy maze

19:00

and this is the first time i'd embarks on

19:03

a cooperative research project

19:05

and co operative or clobber research is when

19:08

he was a scientists work with a non scientists

19:10

on a research project and

19:13

he is how lane

19:15

he's strong fisherman with

19:18

the of glasses and she is

19:21

absolutely like one of the toughest guy

19:23

as i've met

19:24

he go scuba diving for scallops

19:26

in the middle of winter when it's thirty to fifty

19:29

degrees for that's when you harvest them

19:32

when he always seemed like he scheming and is a little

19:34

bit like wiley coyote but

19:37

somehow come through like the road runner every

19:39

time

19:40

and i and i'm not really sure

19:42

how i feel about a

19:45

if i'm ever going to get my samples

19:47

that i trusted him with back because

19:49

he's such a schemer on

19:51

and so i see him in the parking lot

19:53

and i though mdm here

19:56

where the samples and the is like wow

19:59

is put them in your

19:59

fire and as like you

20:02

know needed now put them in my car

20:05

the any points to this now

20:07

empty parking space across the

20:09

line at any level of put him in that car

20:14

and the car is gone and so is my

20:16

confidence in this collaborative research

20:18

project

20:19

that

20:22

and i'm and so i

20:25

am back at my computer you

20:27

know absolutely excited i

20:29

am horrified and and wondering

director of the marines center of the time pr

20:53

department no one really wants me to do they want

20:55

touch with a ten foot pole that's

20:58

okay as again i'm a second guy as

21:00

soon as anything to lose

21:03

they really care about what anything

21:06

and although andean i have a passion

21:09

for the scale of fishery we have a lot of

21:11

differences he is

21:13

a very devout catholic christian

21:17

and i'm i'm a unitarian universalist

21:19

which is like being part of a spiritual book club that

21:22

me once every few

21:27

here conservative political leanings

21:30

i'm pretty sure he supported gov

21:32

le page in maine both twice

21:34

which for those that don't know it's sort

21:36

of the original donald trump but govern

21:39

governed

21:40

mean i'm an i'm more

21:42

part of the group of people in maine who supported

21:45

ranked choice voting in reaction

21:47

to governor page getting elected

21:50

twice

21:53

oh i and then finally

21:55

21:58

whole then i know

21:59

22:07

person money isn't that group of people that

22:09
