My guest today is Kevin Kelly, the author of 14 books, a public speaker who has delivered TED talks with tens of millions of views, and a technology expert. In 1983, Kevin was hired by Whole Earth founder Stewart Brand to edit several later editions of the Whole Earth Catalog, the Whole Earth Review, and Signal. He later on served as the founding executive editor of the magazine Wired. In our conversation, Kevin and I talk about the scaling laws behind all technologies, but also how these laws intersect with biology, society, and policy. We explore themes from What Technology Wants, we focus on the 'Triad of Evolution' and the concept of convergence, and connect these ideas to antitrust and innovation policy. I also touch on his earlier work, including New Rules for the New Economy, where we discuss the dynamics of trust in network economies and its implications for technology adoption. Finally, we delve into the inevitability of technological evolution, its accelerating diffusion, and what happens when technology becomes ubiquitous in society. These questions feel increasingly urgent as we approach 2025, a pivotal moment for revisiting these ideas in light of modern developments. I hope you enjoy our discussion.

WIRED founder Kevin Kelly explains why progress often looks like dystopia to the untrained eye. Imagine that tomorrow, the world magically got 1% better. Nobody would notice. But if the world got 1% better every year, the "compounding" effect would be very noticeable — in the same way that compounding grows a bank account. When technology solves a problem, it creates new problems. The solution is not less technology but better technology. Kevin Kelly of WIRED magazine calls this incremental progress toward a better world "protopia." Protopia is a direction, not a destiny. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This video is part of The Progress Issue, a Big Think and Freethink special collaboration. In this inaugural special issue we set out to explore progress — how it happens, how we nurture it and how we stifle it, and what changes are required in how we approach our most serious problems to ensure greater and more equitable progress for all. It's time for a return to optimism. ----------------------------------------------------------------- About Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly is Senior Maverick at WIRED magazine.

“Cultivate 12 people who love you, because they are worth more than 12 million people who like you.” That's just one of many gems from Kevin Kelly's new book Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier, bits of wisdom that he thinks of like handrails to grab when he needs a quick reminder about what is most important. In this conversation, we revisit our 2016 discussion about the power of human-AI partnerships, give you permission not to become a billionaire, help you lean into serendipity and embrace paradox, and encourage you to buy your time (through delegation) so that you can focus on doing the work that only you can do. As Kevin says, “Don't be the best, be the only.” This crossover episode originally aired on the Pivot podcast on May 7, 2023. More About Kevin: Kevin Kelly helped launch WIRED magazine in 1993. He is a renowned technology and science writer, futurist, and thinker who has been at the forefront of digital culture for decades. Kelly's work explores the intersection of technology, culture, and society, and he is known for his thought-provoking insights on the future of innovation and the impact of technology on our lives. He has authored multiple books including The Inevitable, Out of Control, The Silver Cord, and What Technology Wants. His newest is Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier (May 2023). He lives in Pacifica, California with his family.
TODAY'S GUEST One of the most tragic aspects of the accelerating pace of change, and rapid evolution of new technologies — is that we as humanity have lost our elders. We begin to see older generations as detached from the current world of innovation, and have to discount advice and experiences gained in an age that feels so different from our own. Whereas prior generations could count on a world pretty similar to that of their ancestors, when we look to the future, pretty much the only thing we're sure of is that it's not going to look like the past, or even the present. But we still yearn for some sage advice, at least I know I do. And wouldn't it be wonderful if we did have someone who could help us navigate a time of tremendous, accelerating change? That's why I was so excited to talk to Kevin Kelly. Kevin is perhaps the closest thing Silicon Valley has to such a sage. Someone who not only witnessed the tremendous rise of digital technology, but thought about it deeply as it was happening and developed models for thinking about it. In 1993, Kevin co-founded the groundbreaking Wired magazine, and served as its Executive Editor for its first seven years. In 1994, he wrote Out of Control, the classic book on decentralized emergent systems. In 2010 he published What Technology Wants, a robust theory of technology and the complex, almost organic systems that drive it, and in 2017 he published The Inevitable, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller about the inevitable trends driving technology. His latest book Excellent Advice for Living: Wisdom I Wish I'd Known Earlier, is an offering of 450 useful aphorisms or principles for living he's devised over his life amidst the changes. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: How did DIY culture shape Kevin's worldview from a young age? What inspired Kevin to co-found Wired magazine? Why does Kevin claim technology has a will of its own? What is his take on AI advances of today? Why did he decide to write a book of pithy life advice? What is some of Kevin's most counterintuitive advice around decision making and change? How can we live fully before our time is up? My favorite piece of advice in the episode is about choosing a path of change. Without giving away the content, I'll just say I've brought it up multiple times in conversation with friends about their dilemmas, and when considering my own life decisions.

For the Summer of 2023, a dozen futurists talk about what life will be like for humans in 30 to 50 years. Each guest is asked to paint a picture of the changes that we will experience between now and 2053 or 2073. Then they are asked what mistakes we are making today that the people of 2073 will look back at in disbelief. The goal of these episodes is to spark the imagination of listeners about the future we have the ability to create. In this episode, futurist Kevin Kelly paints a picture of what life might look like in 2053. He discusses the implications to the world if Moore's Law slows down, how AI will become a fundamental utility to how we work and live similar to how transformative electricity has been for humans, and what would happen if “crypto wins” and the internet, finance, and other elements of our economy become decentralized. Kevin believes generative AI tools like Chat GPT will function as “interns” that each of us will get to train and use as tools to help with work and manage our lives. Kevin wraps up the interview by talking about how some of our current behaviors – like eating the flesh of animals, having parents choose the names of their children at birth, and our ideas around intelligence and how the brain works - will be looked at in 50 years with a sense of disbelief.Kevin Kelly is Senior Maverick at Wired magazine.

Shermer and Kelly discuss: protopian progress • ChatGPT • artificial intelligence; an existential threat? • evolution • cultural progress • self-driving cars • innovation • social media • putting an end to war • compound interest and the long term effect of small changes • why you don't want to be a billionaire • beliefs and reason • setting unreasonable goals • persistence as key to success • probabilities and statistics, not algebra and calculus • investing: buy and hold • how to fully become yourself. Kevin Kelly helped launch and edit Wired magazine. He has written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, among many other publications. His previous books include What Technology Wants, and The Inevitable, a New York Times bestseller. He is known for his technological optimism. Currently he is a Senior Maverick at Wired and lives in Pacifica, California.

We explore technology's origins, what technology wants, and advising Steven Spielberg on Minority Report. We're joined by Kevin Kelly, founding executive editor of WIRED. We cover what technology wants, Magic Leap and virtual worlds, and Kevin's work on Minority Report.. “What is this thing we call technology? In the cosmological sense, like, where does it fit in? How does it relate to life? And my current summary would be that it is an extension of life and therefore is not contrary to life. It's an extended version of life—and that gives me hope, because it means that we can always make a greener version of whatever we make.” – Kevin Kelly EPISODE GUIDE (LINKS, QUOTES, NOTES, AND BOOKS MENTIONED) https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/kevin-kelly-outliers-show-notes FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/kevin-kelly-outliers-transcript CHAPTERS This episode is our definitive guide to technology's origins, what technology wants.

Today, Kevin publishes a weekly newsletter called Recomendo as well as the weekly podcast, Cool Tools.
Meinen heutigen Gast habe ich ebenfalls schon länger auf meiner Wunschliste und es hat mich gefreut, dass er auch sofort zugesagt hat! Erich Prem ist nicht nur Vertreter des "digitalen Humanismus" (DH) — das Thema der heutigen Episode — sondern ein breit gebildeter, interdisziplinärer Denker, wie in dieser Episode deutlich werden wird. Er ist in seiner Erstausbildung Computerwissenschafter, der sich mit künstlicher Intelligenz beschäftigt. Er hat am ÖFAI in Wien am sogenannten Symbol Grounding Problem gearbeitet und am MIT in den USA an verhaltensbasierter Robotik. Er leitet seit über zwei Jahrzehnte ein strategisches Technologieberatungsunternehmen, Eutema, in Wien, das neben der EU Kommission auch Ministerien und Universitäten berät. Er beschäftigt sich als Philosoph — seiner Zweitausbildung — mit komplizierten Fragen an der Schnittstelle von Ethik, Digitalisierung und Technologiepolitik. Neben vielen anderen Publikationen ist er Mitherausgeber des jüngst erschienen Buches »Perspectives of digital humanism«. Er unterrichtet Digitalen Humanismus an der TU-Wien und Datenethik an der Universität Wien. In dieser Episode beginnen wir mit der Frage, wie unsere tägliche interaktion mit digitalen Geräten tatsächlich aussieht und wie wir uns das eigentlich wünschen würden. Wie verändert sich die Arbeitswelt? Wie gehen junge Menschen mit digitalen sozialen Räumen um? Welche Rolle spielen digitale Technologien im geopolitischen und ökonomischen Sinne auch für Europa? Denken wir an Überwachung, langfristige Absicherung wesentlicher Technolgien. Dann setzen wir uns mit dem relativ neuen Begriff des »digitalen Humanismus« etwas konkrete auseinander: Was ist Humanismus? Was ist die Rolle des Menschen, vom Menschenbild des alten Griechenlands über klassische Bildungsideale zur heutigen Zeit. Spielt Humanismus heute überhaupt noch eine Rolle und sollte er eine Rolle spielen? Was ist nun der DH und warum braucht es diesen neuen Begriff? Die Kritik von Adorno und Horkheimer am Humanismus wird im DH aufgenommen und Freiheit, Menschenrechte — liberale, westliche Werte verankert, bei einigen Vertretern ist auch eine starke Kapitalismuskritik zu finden, sowie Hinweis zum Überwachungskapitalismus. Allerdings betont Erich, dass das Individuum nicht alleine im Zentrum stehen darf, sondern sich immer in Reflexion mit der Gesellschaft befindet. Denn digitale Technologien sind auch Machtinstrument und bedürfen politischer und gesellschaftspolitischer Debatte um die Frage zu beantworten: wer formt »das Digitale« eigentlich, wem nutzt es? Dann diskutieren wir die unterschiedliche Wahrnehmung digitaler Technologien zwischen Kulturen und Nationen, etwa am Beispiel des Techniums von Kevin Kelly, europäischer Philosophie und der Globalisierung, sowie der Frage, woher eigentlich das Design von Technik stammt: top down, bottom up oder gar ungesteuert? Eine Besonderheit des DH, auch als Abgrenzung anderer wissenschaftlicher Strömungen wie etwa der Technikfolgenabschätzung ist, dass DH von Informatikern geprägt ist, mit dem Anspruch, die Folgen der eigenen Technologie besser zu bestimmen. Dies geschieht nicht Technologie-feindlich, sondern in der Erkenntnis, dass wir uns in Frühzeit der Digitalisierung befinden, die in vielen Bereichen schlicht noch nicht gut genug ist, beziehungsweise falsche Wege eingeschlagen hat. Der DH nimmt also an, dass es kein Schicksal ist sondern nach gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen Technik gestaltbar ist. Ich stelle dann die Frage, ob wir nicht teilweise auf Medien-Hypes hereinfallen und die Bedrohungen möglicherweise gar nicht so groß sind. Als Stichworte könnte man nennen: Social Score in China, Google Flue Trends oder Covid AI, und unterscheiden sich die rechtlichen Prinzipien in der analogen Welt wirklich so stark von der digialten, wie manchmal behauptet wird? Auch wenn es hier und da Übertreibungen gibt, so erkennen wir doch zahlreiche Folgen der Digitalisierung, die sich mit dem Bild, den digitale Humanisten haben, nicht zur Deckung bringen lässt. Darf eine Person etwa auf ihre beobachtbaren Effekte reduziert werden — vor allem von der Vergangenheit in die Zukunft mit vielleicht anderen Kontexten? Wie sieht es mit dem Filtern und der Moderation von Inhalten auf Plattformen aus? Oder, was ist schlimmer: gute oder schlechte »künstliche Intelligenz«? Einen Kritikpunkt des DH spreche ich noch an, nämlich die Frage des Anthtropozentrismus? Fokussiert sich der DH zu stark auf den Menschen? Was ist mit Nachhaltigkeit und anderen systemischen Fragen? Zuletzt grenzen wir noch den Digitalen Humanismus vom ähnlich klingenden Begriff der Digital Humanities ab und, was wesentlicher ist, stellen die Frage, was unter Digitaler Souveränität zu verstehen ist: ist Souveränität das gleiche wie Autarkie? Was haben wir in Europa in dieser Hinsicht in den letzten Jahren übersehen, wie sollten wir politisch reagieren?

Kevin Kelly is a man of many titles. Krista Tippett calls him a ‘philosopher technologist', Tim Ferriss calls him ‘the world's most interesting man', and Stephen J. Dubner says simply, “If I was the Queen, I would want Kevin Kelly on my Privy Council.” Kevin Kelly is the first person — ever! — to be hired online. When? 1983. For what job? A fascinating one! We're going to talk about it. He dropped out of college after a year to spend ten years backpacking around Asia. (His photos have just been released in a wonderful paperweight-dwarfing book called Vanishing Asia.) In the same breath he might drop stories of spending time with the Amish just as easily as chatting with Google's founders in the late 90s. His online home, kk.org, is a fountain of deeply insightful and wise blog posts, such as, 1000 True Fans and his annual bits of birthday advice (which are coming out as a book next year!) Kevin also edited The Whole Earth Catalog, founded The Hacker's Conference, and is Co-chair of the Board of the Long Now Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to encouraging long term thinking and which is, right now, building a clock in a mountain that will tick for 10,000 years. See why titles don't really work with Kevin? I mean, sure, he calls himself a ‘packager of ideas' and the Internet may know him best as ‘Senior Maverick at Wired Magazine' (which he cofounded in 1993.) But he's also written a series of prophetic bestsellers including: What Technology Wants (2010) and The Inevitable (2016). That last book came out six years ago but it lays out the future of technology over the next thirty. Clear and clairvoyant, Kevin's words helped me feel more positive about the omnipresent magnetic pull of technology we're all breathing in today. I would recommend it especially if, like me, you're occasionally prone to digging your heels in the dirt, throwing your smartphone out the window, and screaming “I don't wanna!” Kevin Kelly is a kind, wise, and optimistic finger-pointer. And, unlike most mystics, fortune tellers, and futurists, he's got a long track record of being right. We are very lucky to have Kevin Kelly join us on 3 Books. Let's flip the page into Chapter 110 now… What You'll learn: What makes for a good podcast conversation? What are the different types of vacation? How might you plan a vacation to optimize learning? Why are books a long-term technology? What does technology want? How might AI change us? How do you define optimism? How is technology both the problem and the solution? How do we learn to think longer term? What are recursive loops and how do they help explain the world? Why should we strive to engage in infinite games for growth? Why is population a concern?

Welcome Back to Bill Murphy's 10x Podcast. Our guest in this episode is Brian Chidester, award-winning, public sector marketing executive, and expert integrated messaging strategist. Brian is currently the Industry Vice President at Genesys, an Advisor to the G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance, and a member of the Forbes Technology Council. Today, Brian shares with listeners the benefits of developing smart cities and explains how they promote sustainable practices that will address growing urbanization challenges that cities face. By leveraging the data that smart cities provide, stewards within a community can help make better decisions on behalf of the constituents. As a supporter of smart city evolution, Brian shares examples to describe how process efficiency, edge computing, and curb management can help advocate for the future and advancements of smart cities. Tune in today and learn about the possibilities smart cities are providing our communities. As a Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Business IT Leader here are some wins you will get by listening: [5:00] Brian: To be a true advisor to sales leadership, you must have a deep understanding of the market and the reason behind what you are doing. [5:30] Brian: Anyone working in the technology sector begins to realize that everything is interconnected. [6:30] Brian: When looking at the government space, it pulls you into an experience. The experience can be a digital experience through your mobile device, tablet, or computer, but it also evolves into smart cities. [7:30] Brain: A smart city is a framework, an idea, that is composed of information community technology (ICT). [8:00] Brian: The idea behind smart cities is to develop and promote sustainable practices that help address growing and advancing urbanization challenges that cities face. [8:30] Brian: A foundational piece of a smart city is cloud. Cloud-based IoT applications and sensors can receive, analyze, and manage data in real time to help improve the quality of life for citizens living in a city or connected community. [9:00] Brian: The most important piece that comes from the cloud based IoT applications is the data. The data provides insights so that stewards within the community can make better decisions on behalf of the constituents. [10:30] Brian: London pioneered the initial smart city. [11:30] Brian: Smaller cities have the greatest innovation despite having a smaller budget because they do not have to go through policy roadblocks that stand in the way of bigger cities. [12:30] Brian: For example, when it comes to trash removal, technology is not added to help get the trash out faster but to understand where the process slows down. Therefore, technology is used for process efficiency. [13:00] Brain: In Buffalo, NY the city turned trash removal trucks into moving sensors by adding video cameras, leveraging AI (Artificial Intelligence), and using 5G capabilities to find potholes that need to be filled. [13:30] Brain: Edge computing is the ability to process data at the point. An example of this is a sensor. [15:00] Brian: Edge computing and 5G from an infrastructure perspective can allow quick reaction times to help the evolution of smart cities. [15:30] Brian: The concerns surrounding 5G are the pockets of the broadband infrastructure. Smart cities can help with digital equity, but one of the biggest challenges is access to broadband. [16:30] Brian: GDPR and the Europeans are ahead of the US when it comes to privacy practices and policies. [18:30] Brian: Security of data is critical for protecting privacy. With new video footage capabilities such as speed cameras or security cameras, we must ensure this information does not fall into the wrong hands. [20:00] Brain: Policy is always lagging behind technology. That is why the government tends to be late adopters of technology. [22:30] Brain: There is a lot of value that data can bring to the citizen. [23:30] Curb management is a big trend happening with smart cities because of curb real estate. The data surrounding curb management can help cities identify how to manage and optimize curb space to allow for curb demands. An example of this is DoorDash pickups and drop offs. [24:36] Brian: A big topic that's being looked at within smart cities is how to help address climate change. How can we lower the city's carbon footprint by leveraging smart devices? [27:30] Brian: The City of Chattanooga is looking at how they can prevent car accidents and pedestrian deaths by having a sensor speak to a vehicle which then stops it when the car gets close to a crosswalk. [28:00] Brian: When we think of smart cities, it's an ecosystem. It's not just about a device here and there. It's a framework and policies, but it is also a complete ecosystem that plays together. [28:30] Brian: Look to the Googles and the Apples of the world that have next generation technology and understand what that is, where it's going, and how it can be enveloped properly into the smart city ecosystem. [32:00] Brian: What does the future of smart cities look like? It starts with the data. Then, it's what the city's going to do on behalf of its citizens. It's not about technologies and sensors, but it's about how the cities can become smarter from the data that's ingested to be more prescriptive for their citizens. [32:30] Brain: How will the metaverse impact smart cities and digital experiences for citizens? Both augmented reality and virtual reality are giving governments opportunities to be able to meet the next generation of citizens. [36:30] Brian: The goal of smart cities is to provide citizens with the types of technology and the types of services that are needed within their area. You're not beholden to just what you've had in the past. [40:00] Brian: It's not just about getting technology into the hands of the community. It's understanding how to best use and push the adoption of this technology and do it in a way that's going to drive the type of outcomes they are looking for.

On today's off-top, Josh dives into the theory that every single Pixar movie exists in the same universe. The Pixar Theory might be considered by some to be a bit of a stretch... after all, the "PCU" is definitely not obvious like the MCU but it is still a pretty interesting possibility! Then, Brett discusses a book that opened his mind to the idea that the same driving force behind the evolution of biological life is driving technology to follow the same path; apparently technology is just another branch in the kingdom of life. Kevin Kelly is the mastermind who authored the incredible work of non-fiction: What Technology Wants.

#40 - All You Need is 1,000 True Fans Kevin Kelly is an author, editor, public speaker, and technologist who, whether you’re aware of it or not, has been quietly changing the world for the past 40 years. Tech geeks will know him as the founding executive editor of WIRED magazine, but he’s also been a pioneer in the world of virtual reality and AI programming. He got his first shot of real fame in 2010 with the release of a book called “What Technology Wants.” And found further notoriety with the follow-up to that — another brilliant book titled “The Inevitable.” This episode, however, is about a little essay he wrote in 2008 called 1,000 True Fans. The link to the essay is below, along with a workbook I've created specifically for this episode. I hope you get as much out of Kevin Kelly's ideas as I have.

Welcome to episode #526 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. I could not be more excited. When anyone uses the term "Futurist," there is only one name that comes to mind: Kevin Kelly. If you have not read his latest book, The Inevitable - Understanding The 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our World, you are truly missing out on the opportunity to read and understand what new businesses are going to thrive (and which ones are going to die). Kevin is the Senior Maverick at Wired magazine. He co-founded the magazine in 1993, and served as its Executive Editor for its first seven years. He is also founding editor of the Cool Tools website, which has been reviewing tools daily since 2003. From 1984-1990 Kelly was publisher and editor of the Whole Earth Review, a journal of unorthodox technical news. He co-founded the ongoing Hackers' Conference, and was involved with the launch of the WELL, a pioneering online service started in 1985. His books include the best-selling New Rules for the New Economy, Out of Control (a graphic novel about robots and angels), The Silver Cord (an oversize catalog of the best of Cool Tools), and a personal favorite, What Technology Wants (from 2010). He here is, pontificating about technology and the future. Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #526 - Host: Mitch Joel. Running time: 48:55.
