Seventy Arc Fusion leaders joined us for an amazing evening of talks, music, and a dinner produced by “underground dinner” impresario Michael Hebb with guest chef Adina Niemerow, holistic chef and author of “Super Cleanse”.
The group broke up into five separate rooms to hold “Jeffersonian Dinners” to discuss the question “What technologies, policies and discoveries give you hope or worry you about where humans will be in 100 years?”
Arc wants to change how we think about the future, when not only health, IT and science will fuse, but also commerce, policy, law, and the media – and how we live.
We have the earth-shattering technology in our hands — but even its inventors worry about its awesome power to alter our genetic future.
The government needs brilliant minds reinventing it with the same urgency they use to create apps and nano-bots. How the tech world stole America’s biggest thinkers.
Key takeaways:
In the future our "almost pathological individuality" will give rise to a “neo-collectivism". It will be immoral to withhold data that, when aggregated, can help find cures and solutions to human suffering. Therefore, we will increasingly give up our individual privacy, first through data, and then through our thoughts themselves: because the pace of change depends on it (and therefore lives do too). It is these social interactions and shifts in cultural expectation that will have the biggest impact: more than politics or technology.
