Book 11 // Paul Epping and “Will I be You ?”
“You can create the future by being part of it” – Paul Epping
Making the world better to understand exponential technologies and how to use it reasonably and consciously is Paul’s quest for everyone on this planet. I had Paul Epping – Chapter lead of Singularity University – on my Podcast. It’s fascinating to listen to his life story. From a nearly death experience in his teens over trying to understand human potential and its limits in the age of exponential technology is all about this Podcast.
As he emphasizes, “disrupt what you want to disrupt – resistance is the change” his chapters summarize this mindset.
Paul choose 3 chapters in his Chapters Of My Life Podcast Book called “Will I be You?”. Chapter 1 is called “Self Confidence,” which Paul describes as pushing the envelope to its limits. Part of this was his near-death experience in water sport, to be precise at windsurfing at his young age. His repeatedly search for discovering the physical limits of the body with an increased interest in various sports created the path for this later work – not in sport, but in finding the technology age to teach yourself to adopt while being conscious about yourself. During his career later, his powerlessness in helping people with a psychological disorder characterized him for his later work in healthcare.
Chapter 2 is called “Applying,” where Paul highlights his work in the 90s and early 2000s in understanding how technology can be applied for solving social problems and their interconnected approaches towards healthcare. Machines are biased by what they learn. The big question mark what Paul asks himself frequently is, where do machines learn from? Paul thinks holistically – the architecture of his life is holism. “Rediscover” is about Chapter 3 and it’s about his current work, among others, as a global traveler and consultant on exponential technology but also about Singularity University, where he is Chapter lead in Dubai. In the next chapter of his life called “Awareness”, he emphasizes raising questions of fragmentation on exponential growth and ethical science while empowering youth to become the scientist and change-makers of tomorrow.
A.I, Bio-Tech, Exponential technology… let’s start the talk.
