Welcome to the stanford cow pastures the voiceover had your erasure breed of cattle. Yuri dualpurpose read for dairy and beef production. Its momentarily charlie to be told and suitable for big project and that i thought that as the voice gives me instructions. Watcher instructions. Watcher retrieves the current indie. I do my best to position myself over some head. The voice picks up the mind blowing stuff about how much weight you can come it three times a day to poke up to 600 pounds. I wonder whether i should mention that although no one has requested it. At the voice tells me to walk over to a water trough. Make a double and a move to the left. And the railroad i can see a cattle prod it and the real world to real world to bring down with an infrared marker. Normally he wouldve checked me and i wouldve seen the cattle coming at me. The synchronous touch. Another way to produce body transfer. Today is floating so im proud of a standard with a water truck is the voice tells me a drink up to 30 gallons a day. Tend to last until you see to the end of 200 days. Stampeded kadir slaughterhouse it does not expect to miss. The sadness and horror that had me with the worth slaughterhouse with the announcement from the feeling of being trapped in the guilt and responsibility for my cap avatar was somehow feel his knee and simultaneously feel his downgrade more innocent and i should point out a vegetarian. Its remarkably heavy for having been in the been in the Spiritual Life a few minutes. A part of me that dutifully works defense, the part of me as a person is yelling is unbidden, startling me in anger born of nervousness. This is brutally shot at no one in particular. The simulation prices and telling me to face my cap avatar. She gazes back at me. Here you will wait the as the voice. Before it begins to vibrate. Heres a grenade of approaching tires as the truck access. I feel the rush of real fear is the world chases mostly around me. I scan the head from side to side wondered where the truck will appear above a happy man. It doesnt. The experiment is over. My guide to guys i met her in release. So after that experiment, the lebanon to do things even more unlike the human body. If you can be sympathetic towards account but its enamel. The next they put me in the squirrel, really bizarre and the idea is you are coral in a notion being worn by carbon and you essentially watch yourself with her and watch the ocean guy around here. At this point i was like what is going on . What if we are set . Why do we listen to watch ourselves die . These are very intense. They gave me one that was very sweet and i wanted to leave you on this note although i can also show you the bio hackers. I wanted to live you on this now because i thought it was really a moment when it clicked for me about how immersive these environments can be. Before a leavefrom the oneway demo to illustrate the world, how easily we adapt with no experiment here. Just a grassy backyard done in a pleasant gurgling fountain. The winners in stunning detail with cracks and smoke states rendered in painstaking variety. A fire in a fire and ice pops out industries carried out drafts of daniel and plus an enormous butterflies. Im struck by how comfortable it is to be here. I wonder what to open doors. I expect the world to unfold endlessly in front of me. I started looking for the simulation plus besides this is a real place. Its perhaps too pretty. Its extremist extremely stiff a cassette tape quality with bright colors reminiscent of paint. I find myself wishing they rendered today a parking garage, something with of ordinary life and the slight tug on the back of my head holding a helmet cable to prevent me from walking into realworld walls as they heedlessly ramble through the imaginary landscape here in mostly at how pleasant it would be to rob or watch a dramatic story unfold or just rest. I choked down on all fours with wondering if they were picks it up close 1 millionth dilution. I passed my way to fattening kids into the water spark with a rippling in the breeze from the system of the worlds one through hits me. I have no reflection. Sometimes the moment is so great, the so great come at a moment to a moment that proves that tapia found it. While im debating how much the virtual water looks like real water, this book, holding my tethers in the darkness in them so caught up in the dream and i may need arms outstretched in a fountain. So that instead. If you want to see the bio hazards. This is the grossest part. Im going to warn you. I told she was on the search for the sixth case papers also the search with implementing a magnet in some of them called it a sacrifice like the first step and then it steps back to build things that interact with the magnet. Ill tell you in the buckeye a quest to figure out exactly what is happening. People need to get a sensation through this but the question is what is it. Is it true or something to do with the fact its in their hands touching the nurse that can have information. I will explore the bug you about the last chapter. This is the one of the founders of the crime house. And when i got there they had just invented him with a device called acadia. This is circadian encased in silicon. In real life besides an attack occurs. This is intense arm. I should say he does not do this himself. They have a professional piercer. This is what circadian can do. So here he is sold in charging coil at to it here you will see a link grade three times. You power down at this point. Was right before christmas. So what circadian it did was take the temperature of the information via bluetooth. They have plans to get the implant due to the heat of the charging coil. It is really just kind of a test. It is a perfect concept is something in the human body to develop an infection. If there is some other silicon that would reach. None of that would have been. They had just started building a device they call the northstar this is that the north star of the site. The idea was to develop an inhouse compress at the back of your hand and light up when you spacebar at. Kind of a de facto. So that is what it looks like a november 2013. This is their first manufactured model. About the size of a quarter. The following images are courtesy of one of the team members. This is the final and printed version and there it isnt just intense. They put it in just before thanksgiving. This version does not have a working compass on it. It just lights up. You can see they are working on it. It is coming along. So that if they appear thats me. If you want to reach me, id be happy to take questions if you have any. Thank you for being such a fantastic audience. Croissant woe is the surprising thing to you when you wrote the research for the book . The whole book . This is a book of many, many surprises. What are the cool things i can go see it . The bio hackers are surprising. The fact theyve gotten that far they havent died yet. It was really surprising. The big thing that i did not know it was kind of amazed to know was about alzheimers. I did not realize it was the first clinical symptom first clinical symptoms of alzheimers, also one of the first of parkinsons disease and it has to do with the fact that the olfactory center was really ancient and essentially of memory and emotion can have developed around a. Its very primitive sense. The idea that you could get somebody sense and help him recall of memory, and is very french lady said that you were her cosmetic companies would consider them by bio hackers, but its not a cure for alzheimers, but a shortcut around symptoms. I thought that was very cool. Id no idea that existed before it started. Any other questions . We are talking about a lot of these virtual experiments and feeling sympathy now for the cattle and the coral. It seems like theres a lot of environmental or political bed and do some of this. The Experimental Authority that the prisoner. Comments on how the Virtual Reality experimentation, some of the ethics around politics for main opinions based on this. Thats interesting. So jeremy at stanford very clearly said we are going to try to do things that are prosocial. They are very clear that we want to do things that help the common good, which is why they have all these things about the environment and helping other people. They have some other simulation. If you basically fire in a city like a superhero, you greater will be markland to help people. If they render you colorblind, it would make him a sympathetic to people colorblind. They are doing it for prosocial purposes. That said, theyre a terrifying potential uses of this. I thought about that but the military stuff, too. Immoral, teambuilding message in the military stuff. I dont know whether im particularly susceptible, but when i went in i felt an emotional connection very quickly. I dont know if thats the same for everybody, but to me it felt very real. I was studying this stuff so much to have an experience. So whatever they can sentence people raised was what happens when we dont realize its not real . What happens than its more blurring between the virtual and the real. Particularly what happens with reality devices feeding you information you are not aware of the choice is that the at the device made about what information youre going to get. When information is the algorithm serve you and what happens when we let a lot of fire behavior be stared by Virtual Networks of other people who are thumbsup and thumbs down and kind of like a moral force of the crowd controlling your action. I think thats a very good things to think about. I dont have answers. I kind of feel like to knowledge he people is a technology as a tool you can use a hammer for good or for ill. I always feel as a reporter i go to observe and not make any final judgment. But i saw was powerful. Thats what i took away from it. [inaudible] yeah. I do like yeah, yeah. Okay, the idea is every going to create it . We are not going to created because the tongue isnt going to change. People in japan who could sense before people in the western world could. Its not any different than anybody else. Its a perceptual change and i argue in the book that the tool is language. Having a word for something is what allows you to experience it because you can conceptualize since i recognize that thing. I cant condemn experience of that to other people. So one of the big debates going on in the case world as well, because they dont have a word for whatever it is, maybe we just missed it. It is fair. We just dont notice it. The big comparison to use his finding another color. This happens all the time with visual researchers. In some languages there are birds are blue or green. It doesnt mean people who raise one of those languages can see blue and green. If they perceive them as a singular. People who develop a language that distinguishes between them see them as two separate things. Maybe it is the same with taste. Maybe that taste is adjacent to or similar to or like another case but we cant pick it out as discrete because we dont have a word for it. This is bogus. If it was better, universal, languages wouldve built a word for it. Every language has a word for sweet. Every language has a word for salty. Every language has a word for bitter. Weirdly not weirdly, very interestingly, a very analogous line of reasoning is going on and Emotion Research because some cultures have words for emotions that other cultures dont. Can you experience a feeling if you dont have a word for it . Peanut butter something you had to leap out of the book for editing purposes . What is something i had to leap out of the buckets i had to see an expert in the ethics of genetic engineering because it is an interesting precedent for the idea of altering the body. Modest ethical argument around genetic engineering. If i would have kind of resident in here. To be honest, there are not too many other things. I was a vicious facebook sofa surfing machine. Question regarding [inaudible] dissimulation that were washed, when i sat at the airport base they had a very limited setbacks. It was basically on a swivel chair that was on a subwoofer and vibrated and they had a pair of goggles and a headset. But they didnt have the smell and the other things like that. I showed this instills that there are videos. Basically they are kind of videos. Right now there were six episodes of soldiers watched. Skipper is that what you make it into the end of their step, maybe a 30 episode you would watch over a period of time. So yeah, i did not get a fully immersive experience like i know you didnt get the fully immersive experience. [inaudible] thats a good question. Are there changes in the neurotic committees versus real life . I dont know. I bet they are. What makes them somebody is doing it, but unfortunately i dont know about it. One of the cool things he said to me is that come with only existed in a world with electronic screens for a few decades. The brain hasnt had time to evolve to tell the difference between real life and virtual life. It looks like a snake, treat it like a snake. I was curious if you had an ethos. One thing that occurred to me was especially with the smell and taste, those are two senses that for the general population we havent really started giving out to folks for lack of a better word. I dont go to movies today smell things are taste things. Other than church while i smell incense, i dont experience anything. But on the flip side smile in particular was one of the most deep memories. The visual auditory stuff. To back him up at all . Its a period one of the people i went to see. Is anybody familiar with the work . He works with taste and smell. His point was that it is to render those things digitally. The chemical senses are really hard to deter computer interface. Sound and vision are much easier to convey the computer and the other sense that has been left out. Hes doing his projects. For example, hes made a ring project. You wear a ring in your romantic part or were assuming in the press were the jewels faces on the ring and it sends them a squeeze. The idea is to touch at a distance. He convey smell through the fog where he has a little sense capson so you can send a message to a friend. If you want to have coffee or a perfume. But the problem is each device has to have it additional thing on it that emits a friend or can convey the pressure. Harder to do. He was basically making a point these things are harder to scale up in sound and vision which is exactly what you are saying. Is our time up . Thank you so much. Youve been a wonderful audience. Thank you. [applause] [inaudible conversations] Brien Andersen is the author of a book called truth overuled. What is the point of your book . This is the First Response to the Supreme Courts ruling on the samesex marriage question. I explain why they got the rolling moment as a matter of constitutional in a matter of philosophy. The nature of what marriage is and what it is for a political community. The america that americans what americans do to defend religious freedom. Those are penalized by the government. How in your view did they get it wrong constitutionally . The Supreme Court says equal protection clause requires states to redefine what marriage is. We all want the logic tree. Marriage is equally. Though we disagree about is the type of relationship is a Marital Relationship. Elected judges have no greater insight than you or i do in the nature of marriage. It is silent on the question about his marriage and said that people should have voted to say what sort of relationship is a Marital Relationship . I feel that the question should have been answered. Host is this a moral issue . S. Comeau, Public Policy issue. That is not going to be answered simply appealing to the quality to the equality. Equality alone doesnt tell us what relationship we should treat equally. You need to have a philosophy of what marriage is. What i do in truth overuled is the philosophical defense had marriage is a union of husband and wife, mother and father. So much Averse Society is built around marriage in so many of us looked around marriage, too. Its a class of people being denied the same rights and taxes come to mind. I wonder which class of people are talking about. Some people talk about the polygamists, polyamorous for people who dont want to get married. No matter what value have an marriage come to some people be included in the definition in some relationships will not be included. He did the right definition of marriage. Draws the line. If you want the right thing to be drawn, you have to know the truth about carriages. What i argue in truth overuled is marriage is based on anthropological truth that men and women are distinct and complementary. A biological fact we require a man and a woman and deserves a mother and a father. These are the reasons for why every society into the year 2000 recognized marriage as the union of them female. The second half of the book is what we do now. Now that the court has overturned those laws, what can we do to protect tolerance and pluralism, diversity and religious freedom for people who dont support the new vision of marriage are caressed her penalized by the government. What is one of your solutions . After the roe v. Wade constitutional right to abortion, prolife doctors and nurses should be forced to perform abortion. Supreme court says you have a right to choose, congress created a right they said you have a right to not perform an abortion. Supreme court has said samesex couples have a right to this tape recognizing marriage. We need congress and other bodies. Photographers, florists, adoption agencies dont have to help celebrate the samesex wedding. It have to violate their belief that marriage is between an inevitable event. Ryan andersen, what is your background . Of his undergraduate and most of my classmates disagreed with me about marriage. They couldnt even understand the other perspective on this. They thought it was as if something inconceivable. I did my phd in political philosophy at university of notre dame. Many people come not from a biblical perspective, theological and ethical. And look at it as a philosophical question of Public Policy. The audience i have in mind as my former classmate at princeton, a well educated individual is a secular liberal. It is written for them to understand why half of america thinks the way i think. They better articulate. Its written for all americans. Right now as it is truth that is sent to congress . It has to be on a National Level if any changes are made to the status of gay marriage . And would have to be the Supreme Court itself would have to reverse its decision. States can make good laws on abortion, but the Court Magistrate is down. Or we find a way to have the cobra which we reaffirm that allows s
