Then it changed quickly by then 40 years old. Then 47. 1950, a 68. Know it is about 78. A and the numbers will only go up. Said our next guest the author of the bookll went of hundred how the coming a of longevity will change everything. Everything . I take the premise it is possible and the relatively short term for average Life Expectancy to be at 150 ali years. W john people say that is creepy that we are miserable. We will be healthier for longer periods of time and be productive, energetic. John and were healthier because they intend to body part replacements spinet may have been able to already createon war begins with ahave stem cells. Trachea, bladder has already been made already. Li john what about your life . You change jobs, you live longer. But there is a much more opportunity if you want to a be a doctor or a lawyer and an entrepreneur is tough to ye have those three carriers because two of them requiremore a lot of education. Ly with a logger or healthier life span we can go back for education to try a new career. John it will change families . We will be around longer, more marriages, a fertility extends there will be a lot more diversity his. John a sibling could be 50 years younger. Hey this creeps me out a little should not live longer thatuy youve they shall lose purpose. One guy said if i may get 75 i am tie. Is there a natural cycle . Guest i think people tend to say that because they assume as you get older you also get ill but when that is the case, you do lose your lust for life but if you are healthy and energetic, there is so much more to do and you think about it, you never have enough time to do everything you want, do you . We need more time. There was a profile of the person, the billionaire who wrote the forward to your book, and it was silly,and a silly things they said was that this extending life is not a good idea because the technology will be available to rich people first and it will add to inequality. Guest that is a kneejerk reaction b we hear that when you talk about any type of new technology. Think when cell phones first came out. Only theich people had cell phones. Yes, they were the size of a brick and you carried around in a briefcase and it is a good thing they funded that technology because it led to cheaper devices that we now use. Eventually, your point, is it will get to everyone. The guy who wrote the forward says the biggest inequality is define those who are alive and dead but the rich people experiment first, they will get hurt first by the mistakes. Guest that is right. They take the most risk and put the most capital forward. In some ways it is good that happens. The biggest question, how long does it take between the rich getting it and the pr getting it and that is shrinking for new technology. That divide. Thank you, sonia, more on our Wonderful World. Despite what the media whines about, it is a Wonderful World. More on that when we come back. Google. Intel. Ebay. Yahoo, think of the wealth they created. 100,000 millionaires. And south africa Computer Program has it easier than whe the indians want to come in but they have to wait six years. So, what if america did not let ogle or yahoo founders in . We would have lost a lot. So, since american politicians are not taking steps to change the rules to allow more entrepreneurs to come here to work, dario and max, my guests, have set out to build a ship and keep it off the coast of california outside the reach of immigration controls and foreign entrepreneurs could work here, is that the idea . That is correct. Were creating what we call a visa Free Technology incubator on aship, 12 miles off the coast of the bay area. Definitely miles escapes the rules of the United States. Guest it is outside the territorial waters. The idea is and you are from the Silicon Valley area, that you can come to america with a work visa and work three months or six months but you cannot stay so you have the four engineers on the boat and the Silicon Valley tech geniuses go back and for the and work with them . Guest when you come for a few months on tourist or work visasou cannot work, so there is no avenue where the entrepreneurs can come hour and create the companies which create the jobs and the Economic Growth and the prosperity and put Silicon Valley on the map. Time is needed for the companies to grow and enable them to have that period of time to meet relevant investors and they can grow. It is an incute baiter to get the Small Companies to be able to blow. You call it the blue seed project . Why not green egg . Blue because it is on water and seed is a Small Company before it grows into the next google or facebook. It is the googl plex of the sea. Guest we are familiar with google, the real google plex where intelligent and creative people can work a fantastic set of circumstances. That is what google called office space station. Guest a nice environment, which is conducive to creation of new products and new companies, and we like to copy that model on our vessel. Youame up with this idea after graduate school . Guest when i was in gruate school i got my mba from the university of miami and many peopl from all ports of the world, india, europe, china, who wanted to stay here after they graduated and work on their companies, create new startups, but they were unable to do so because after you graduate you get a job with an existing company or you leave and for many them that was not a good option and they left and took their ideas and companies with them. So th get their fancy education here and go back to indian or somewhere else. Guest w would like to stem the tide and keep them closer, and bring them back to the United States so they can create new job and new companies. If they worked for a company they could have stayed . Guest if you get sponsored by a Large Corporation you can get the prop visas to work in the country but you cannot self sponsor and you cannot be here and create your own startups without going through some pret significant legal work. To build this big ship where people live cost as lot of money and peop are actually giving you money fo this . Guest theface book funder and creator of pay pay pal is helping us and bringing in a number of investors. He will give us a significant fraction of what we still need to raise our seed funding. We called one of the large Immigration Reform groups, they call themselves, they limited on immigration, and they said they could have paid a higher wage and found americans to do this engineering work. This is nautical grandstanding. Guest i would like to address that. Basically, it is a way for companies to come so instead of leaving the United States they will be coming into the United States d it is the opposite of wh that gentleman mentioned. And you are both immigrants yourself. Guest yes. Parents are from cuba. They came over when castro took power and now they entrepreneurs. You are from yugoslavia . Guest yes from the ex yugoslavia. There is something about people who want to leave their country and go do a new country that makes them more likely to not only kill us but to build something. Guest they have the entrepreneurial spirit. That is what boosted the can do attitude which is the american trade that has a lot to do with a fact that this is a nation built by immigrants, so, try to provide a solution to a problem, an entrepreneurial solution ourselves. You are doing that, so, thank you, car i dont and max, coming up, ideas have. Sex. What . What . That sounds inappropriate the my quest says it is what makes our world so wonderful. He is right. He will explain when we come he will explain when we come back. [ male announcer ] how do you trade . With scottrader streaming quotes, any way you want.

Now, lets talk about ias having sex. You have one idea. She goes to a bar and meets another idea. They get together and days or months later, i am not sure how it relates, but a baby results and the baby has the best traits of both parent when ts happens a lot, everyone gets smarter and the world gets better. I know this seems like a weird concept. It seemed weird to me when i first heard it but the more i thought about it the more right it seemed. Now to a british journalist, the reason, you say, life gets better is ideas have sex, in effect. Guest ideas spread through exchange and trade and when they meet they can mate and you c produce combinations of diffent ideas. Ploy favorite example is camera pill which takes a picture of your insid coming about after a conversation of a guided missile designer and a gastro terologist. The meeting of ideas causes innovation in culture. The genes do not have brains, they can meet and you get something bad. Guest that is true. It is true with us. You can combine two ideas and come up wi a worse idea but no oneicks it up, no one takes it off. If you come up with a better idea it spreads at the expense of the baddie and the recombining and what we do. The more we trade, the more we exchange, the more it happens. And the better life gets in general. Guest absolutely. Our Living Standards have shot up in my lifetime. The average income of the average person is throw times what it was when i w born and life span is30 percent longer and Child Mortality is twothirds lower that is because we keep improving each others Living Standards. So, you like to show people this picture. Guest the object on the left is a hand a and from half a million years ago and sits on my desk at home, the hand ax and next to is the computer mouse, and they are the same size and shape and the ax was madeed without a change in design for half a million years. It is made from a single substance and the mouse is made from a bunch of different substances, plastic and metal and so on and it combines different ideas, that occurred to different people in different times and different paces and they all come together in this technology and that is how we are better off with the combinations of ideas. The mouse improves isften that t one i have a few years ago is already out of date guest the one i took a picture of with the hand ax is no longer used by me. This work thursday a Free Exchange of idea but it does now work if there is Central Planning. Guest exactly the one thing about the way ideas come together and recombine is it actually creates things that are greater than the sum of the parts and things we do not understand. No one knows how to make a computer mouse, i am quoting. Someone knows, i have a computer miscellaneous. Guest no one person. No one person. The knowdge is shared among lots of different people. This is the inside of the economist when someone said no one knows how to make a pencil. It is a collective brain that achieves this. When you try and substitute an individuals intelligence by putting a man in charge of computer mouse manufacturing he cannot do as go a job as the collection with each of us knowing a little bit of the picture. The computer mouse could have parts from china and india and the United States and hundreds of different people and the person who ships it and putst in the box. Guest it is. A Million People could contribute. Guest it probably is a million. They are all working for me when they made it because it is my mouse and you have to include the guy in brazil who is growing coffee drunk by the guy on the oil rig who was drilling for oil whose oil would be ud in the plastic factory, et cetera, they were all woring for me and that is the beauty of theystem we have created, we work for each other all the time. We are each others servants. But no one is bossing people around it is voluntary. Guest that is right. No one forces you to go out and buy a computer mouse or forces the guy who made the mouse to work for me or me to work for him because i am working for him because i have the money from my work to buy the mouse. You argue that even if dumb people get together and have their ideas have sex that comes up with better results than the brilliant central planner. Guest thing this is why the obsession with i. Q. And whether this groups have higher i. Q. Is mistaken, if you look at Human History, lotsf people in a room who are talking to each other, however stup they are, can achieve a lot more tha a lot of clever people in the room who nev
