https://www.singularityweblog.com/david-orban-on-singularity-1-on-1-what-is-the-question-i-should-be-asking/ This Thursday I interviewed David Orban for Singularity 1 on 1. I have to admit that David is one of my favorite singularitarians and I enjoyed talking to him immensely. During our conversation we discuss issues such as: David's personal background and early interest in science and technology; the motivation and goals behind his work; his involvement in Singularity University; ; his take on the technological singularity and our chances of surviving it; religion, death and life extension technology; the internet of things; the role of technology in liberating humanity; the value of human-centered communication; Ted Kaczynski's arguments against technological progress; why communicating through on-line videos is so popular and powerful. Hope you enjoy watching the interview as much as I enjoyed talking to David!
