2:01
nor is it about the political oscillations
2:03
that consume the papers every day. This
2:06
is a vital question to answer, one
2:08
that drives behaviours, our own, that of
2:10
our businesses, our societies and our governments.
2:13
So, to talk us through the
2:15
dynamics and to answer the question of will
2:17
the future be abundant, we have two Peters.
2:19
Let's get into it and meet our debaters.
2:22
Arguing yes, the future will be abundant,
2:25
Peter Diamandis, an
2:27
executive chairman of XPRIZE Foundation, an
2:30
author of Abundance, The Future is
2:32
Better Than You Think, and The
2:34
Future is Faster Than You Think.
2:37
Welcome, Peter. My pleasure, Zinnia. Good to
2:39
be here. And arguing no to the
2:41
question, will the future be abundant, is
2:43
geopolitical strategist and author of The End
2:45
of the World is Just the Beginning.
2:48
Peter Zahan. Welcome, Peter. Great
2:50
to be here. Now, because we have two Peters
2:52
debating with us today, I'm going to
2:54
be referring to each of you as Peter D
2:56
and Peter Z to try and minimise
2:58
some confusion. Before we get started,
3:00
I just want to take a quick
3:02
sense of what motivates you
3:05
both to make this argument. So,
3:07
I'm going to ask you each to take 30 seconds and
3:09
tell us why you're here today. Peter D,
3:12
what are the stakes for you in this argument? An
3:15
individual's mindset is probably the single most
3:17
important tool they have to solving problems
3:19
in creating a better world. And our
3:22
inherent mindset that we evolved over 100,000 years
3:26
is one of fear and
3:28
scarcity. But that doesn't put you
3:30
in a very good position to solve problems. And
3:33
so my mission here is to
3:35
give people a clear understanding of
3:37
why the future is extraordinarily abundant
3:40
and why they're more empowered than
3:42
ever before to create that future.
3:44
Phenomenal. It's about mindset. And Peter
3:47
Z, the same question for you. Why
3:49
did you show up? We've been living
3:51
through one of the most atypical periods in
3:53
human history, and a lot of us have
3:55
drawn linear forecasts as to where that takes
3:57
us. We're entering a period of extreme change.
6:00
hitting 75. Global
6:03
child mortality has precipitously dropped
6:05
from 43% in the 1800s down to under 4% today.
6:11
Maternal mortality rates, women dying in
6:13
pregnancy over the last 20 years
6:15
alone has dropped 34%.
6:19
Cancer deaths have reduced
6:21
by a third over the
6:23
last 20 years. You
6:25
may not believe this, but even democracy has
6:28
blossomed over the last century. In
6:30
1900, about 1% of individual countries
6:35
had universal voting rights. Today,
6:37
it's 96%. Extreme poverty has plummeted from
6:40
95% extreme poverty
6:45
in the world down to under
6:48
10% today. Literacy rights have skyrocketed.
6:50
Mobile phone uses, we have some
6:53
8 billion mobile phones.
6:55
The poorest on the planet now
6:57
have most advanced technology for communications
6:59
and access to knowledge. We
7:02
have 5 billion internet-connected individuals.
7:04
Access to electricity has
7:06
exploded. We
7:08
have water safety. We
7:11
have more access to food. The
7:14
question is, why is this happening?
7:17
Why are we seeing this
7:19
incredible abundance and access that
7:21
people have? It's
7:23
not that we humans have gotten smarter,
7:25
we don't have better forms of government
7:27
or better politicians. It
7:29
is the technology. Technology is
7:32
a resource-liberating force. It
7:35
transforms scarcity into abundance over
7:37
and over again. We used to go
7:39
kill whales to get whale oil to
7:41
light our nights. Then we
7:44
ravaged mountainsides. Then we drilled
7:46
kilometers under the ground to get access to
7:48
oil. Now, we have 8,000
7:50
times more energy hitting the surface of
7:53
the earth and the sun than we consume as a species in
7:55
a year. Energy
7:57
will become squanderable abundance.
8:00
Right, and that tips water and
8:02
that tips health. And so all
8:05
of these things are increasing abundance.
8:08
I have zero
8:11
question now to be, and
8:13
by the way, anybody who wants access
8:15
to this data, if you go to
8:17
diamandis.com backslash data, I have 50 charts
8:20
showing over the last decades
8:23
and century, this increasing access
8:25
to abundance. It's
8:28
not about creating a world of luxury for
8:30
everybody. It's about creating a world of possibility
8:32
for everybody. Peter, thank you so much.
8:35
And now let's hear from Peter Z. You're
8:38
answering no to the question, will the future
8:40
be abundant? Tell us why. Peter
8:42
D is absolutely correct. The world over the
8:44
last 75, 80 years has gotten better and
8:47
better and better and better, but it's important
8:49
to understand why we've been able to go
8:51
down this technological path. We've had
8:53
three things going on. First of
8:55
all, we had globalization. At the
8:57
end of World War II, the Americans found
9:00
themselves facing off against Stalin on the plains
9:02
of Europe. And it was a war we
9:04
knew we could not win. We
9:06
knew we needed tens of millions of people
9:08
to stand not behind us or with us,
9:10
but in front of us to serve as
9:13
cannon fodder. And that meant bribing
9:15
them. And our bribe was globalization. We
9:18
used our Navy to open the seas
9:20
so that anyone could go anywhere and
9:22
interface with any partner and access any
9:24
commodity in any product and sell into
9:26
any market. If in exchange you would
9:28
join us against the Soviets and it
9:31
worked. And it generated the
9:33
greatest prosperity and security the world has ever
9:35
seen. But the Cold War ended in
9:37
92. And ever
9:39
since then, the United States in a
9:41
series of ever more nationalist political contests
9:44
has elected the guy who wants to
9:46
do away with it faster. And
9:48
the biggest difference between Trump and Biden
9:50
when it comes to international economics is
9:53
that Biden was able to hire a grammar checker.
9:56
The road hasn't changed. And this is
9:58
a very strongly bipartisan. issue and
10:00
we're moving away from the generations
10:03
of security and economic growth
10:05
that gave us the ability to go down
10:07
this technological path. Then
10:09
there's demographics. Pre-Stalin,
10:12
we all lived on farms where kids were free
10:14
labor, so you'd have as many of them as
10:16
you could put up with plus one because that's
10:19
how you found out it was too many. But
10:22
then Stalin brought us globalization and
10:24
industrialization and urbanization and all the new industrial
10:26
jobs were in town. So we moved in
10:28
to take them. Well, in
10:31
town kids aren't free labor, they're just a
10:33
source of migraines. So you just fast forward
10:35
30 years to the 70s to the 90s
10:37
and we entered this weird period where
10:39
we had huge numbers of young workers and
10:42
huge amounts of consumption because of it but
10:44
not a lot of kids that we had to spend money on. It
10:47
was, demographically speaking, a moment in time. You
10:50
fast forward another 20 years to the 2000s
10:52
and the 2010s and we now have lots
10:54
of mature workers who are over 40 but
10:56
not yet retired. People were
10:58
at the height of their income but
11:01
their expenses were under control. So we
11:03
saw a huge tax base, huge infrastructure
11:05
spending, lots of production, lots of investment
11:07
which generated among other things the
11:09
tech boom that brought us the world we're in now.
11:12
But this too is only a moment
11:14
in time. And
11:16
in the 2020s, we're now
11:18
aging out. Whether
11:20
it's Spain or Italy or Germany or
11:23
Japan or Korea or Taiwan or China
11:25
or Thailand, this is the end of
11:27
the road because that bulge now hits
11:29
mass retirement and we have to come
11:32
up with something that works without investment
11:34
or consumption or production. And
11:36
we're not going to get that first part right on
11:38
our first try. And
11:40
then finally, there's China. China
11:42
is a country that exists because of
11:45
globalization and demographic change. It's utterly dependent
11:47
upon globalization for access to raw materials
11:49
and access to markets.
11:52
But it's also the fastest urbanizing
11:54
country in history which means it's
11:56
the fastest aging population in history.
12:00
so quickly and so far that consumption-led
12:02
growth or cost-competitive production has already faded
12:04
into memory. Their birth
12:06
rates fell by more in the last six
12:08
years than it did among European Jews during
12:10
the Holocaust. So even repopulation
12:13
is now statistically impossible, and China
12:15
will cease to exist as a
12:17
unified, industrialized political economy within 10
12:20
years. Major
12:22
shifts in economic models take at least a
12:25
couple of decades, and they are messy. The
12:28
shift from imperialism to globalization, for example,
12:30
took the better part of five decades
12:32
and gave us two world wars and
12:34
the Great Depression. So
12:36
no, abundance is not the
12:38
word that I would use to describe the
12:40
future. We've passed that already.
12:43
OK, thank you both very much. We
12:45
know where both of you stand and why
12:47
you stand there. So let's
12:49
take a quick break, and we'll dive
12:52
into the discussion on the question, will
12:54
the future be abundant? After this. This
13:00

13:34
back to Open to Debate. We're
13:36
debating the question, will the future be
13:38
abundant? My name is Zania Wicket, and
13:41
I run Wicket Advisory, a business that
13:43
works to bring new perspectives to your
13:45
thinking, helping you make better decisions. And
13:48
I'm the guest moderator for today's debate. We
13:51
just heard opening statements from
13:53
ex-Prize founder Kuta Diamandis and
13:56
geopolitical strategist Peter Zahan, and I
13:58
want to come summarize. Those briefly
14:00
Pete A D you argued yes
14:02
to the question of will The.
14:05
Future be abandoned. Your sensible
14:07
points were that exponential technology
14:09
changes are making stance things
14:12
more abundant. As an incredible
14:14
was you have no is
14:16
the fact that we're living
14:19
in a frightening time and
14:21
the world is changing at
14:24
an accelerated rate. But you
14:26
gave us some statistics that's
14:28
emphasize your optimism. You talked
14:31
about the doubling of global
14:33
life expectancy over forty. Years
14:35
the are loving by suge
14:38
factor of child mortality and
14:40
maternal mortality the a blossoming
14:43
of democracy and you asked
14:45
the question was is happening
14:47
Ah and your answer was
14:50
technology is a resource. Liberating
14:52
force And that energy will
14:55
be a squander. Oh bull.
14:57
abundance. Arguing know to the
14:59
question was p dizzy and Ptc
15:01
you have knowledge the site that
15:03
the world has gotten better but
15:05
you thought it was important to
15:07
understand why it had gotten better
15:10
over the last century is said
15:12
and you said there were three
15:14
reasons for that. The
15:16
first was globalization. The second reason
15:18
the you put for why things
15:20
have gotten better. odd demographics are
15:23
you described moments in time where
15:25
there was abundance of people as
15:27
in the last twenty years but
15:30
you talked about as we move
15:32
into the twenty twenties. You've got
15:34
a population bulbs it is hitting
15:37
mass retirements and then the third
15:39
reason you laid out was a
15:41
lamb China. You'd describe China as
15:44
a country that will. Cease to
15:46
exist in it as a
15:48
unified industrialized economy. in
15:51
the next decade you talked about
15:53
those three factors globalization demographics and
15:55
china being on a positive trajectory
15:57
and now hitting a negative So
16:01
let me pick up and ask you both
16:03
a few questions. The first question, and this
16:05
is for both of you, abundant for whom?
16:08
How do imbalances and inequities factor
16:10
into your thinking? Does it
16:12
matter where you sit? What nationality, what
16:15
country, what ethnic or socioeconomic group? And
16:17
maybe I'll start with you, Peter D.
16:20
It matters in the beginning, but it
16:22
doesn't at the end, right? In the
16:24
beginning when the first mobile phones cost
16:26
a million dollars in New
16:28
York, Manhattan for the Wall Street traders,
16:31
and they worked very poorly. Now
16:33
they're $40 handsets and they're available
16:35
to billions of people and they
16:37
work incredibly well. And not
16:39
only do they work incredibly well on this
16:41
handset, which every child on
16:43
the planet has
16:46
access to comes the world's
16:48
information, two-way video conferencing for
16:50
free libraries, a book, entertainment, knowledge,
16:52
information that were never available to
16:54
the heads of nations 20 years
16:57
ago are now available to the poor. There
16:59
are 8 billion handsets on the planet. So
17:02
what we see is
17:04
technology is a democratizing
17:06
and demonetizing force. And
17:11
so things do begin when they work poorly.
17:13
They're available to the richest who take the
17:15
risk. And
17:17
eventually they rapidly demonetize and democratize
17:19
and are accessible to everyone. We're
17:22
seeing this on communications. We're
17:25
seeing this on energy. And
17:27
so I believe that this
17:30
is a force and
17:32
it's a non-stoppable force and it is
17:34
what is causing increasing abundance. A lot
17:36
of people have described technologies
17:39
like AI as things
17:41
that increase inequality.
17:43
What's your argument to people who say
17:45
that actually these technologies are increasing inequality
17:47
rather than decreasing? And then I'll come
17:50
to you, Peter Z. When you digitize
17:52
anything in the early days of its
17:54
growth, it's deceptive. 30
17:56
doublings later, it's a billion-fold bigger and
17:58
it's disruptive. dematerializing, demonetizing,
18:01
democratizing. We've seen this over
18:03
and over again across every
18:06
technology. AI is going
18:08
to be ultimately the best educating system
18:10
and the best healthcare system will
18:12
be available to the poorest child and the
18:15
wealthiest child delivered by AI
18:17
platforms. Okay, thank you. Peter Z,
18:20
the question, abundant for whom? Geographic factors
18:22
and demographic factors are not the
18:24
same everywhere. Some countries are aging
18:26
faster than others, others have better
18:28
borders and better economic geography. And
18:30
as a rule, gross oversimplification, the
18:32
Western hemisphere looks pretty good with
18:35
the United States being one of the youngest
18:37
demographies in the world as well as Mexico.
18:39
That buys us a lot of time to
18:41
figure out the details. But when it comes
18:43
to technology at its core, the
18:46
demographic structure is everything. Developing
18:49
new technologies requires
18:51
a huge number of people in their 20s
18:53
and their 30s who are social, who are
18:55
integrated, who can work as a team and
18:58
can imagine the future and then
19:00
figure out how to operationalize it and then figure
19:02
out how to mass manufacture it. The
19:04
problem with this process is that
19:07
every step up until mass manufacture
19:09
generates no income. And
19:11
that means you have to have a huge
19:13
amount of capital to push this whole process
19:15
forward. Now in the 2000s and the 2010s, we
19:17
had exactly
19:19
that world. We had the millennials,
19:22
which were many, and
19:24
we had the boomers who were nearing retirement
19:26
but had not yet retired. So they had
19:28
their life accumulation of savings which pushed down
19:30
capital costs for everybody. That's one of the
19:32
reasons why growth these last 25 years has
19:34
been so robust. Lots of young smart people,
19:36
lots of money for them to do things
19:39
with. Well, that's over.
19:41
As of December of last year, half of
19:44
the world's baby boomers had already retired and
19:46
they've liquidated their savings. And so we've seen
19:48
capital costs triple. They're going to triple again
19:50
in the next few years. The oldest millennial,
19:52
sorry millennials, turns 45 next year. They're no
19:56
longer the young buck and the next generation down
19:58
is small and to be perfectly blunt kind
20:01
of antisocial. So the environment
20:03
that has allowed us to push
20:05
the technological envelopes so far, so
20:07
fast, so consistently, it's already behind
20:09
us. And we're already seeing
20:11
those adjustments throughout the tech space
20:14
with layoffs, with shutdowns, with focusing
20:16
more on manufacturing now, rather than
20:18
idea generation, because we're realizing we're
20:20
losing China at the same time.
20:23
So the risk here isn't
20:26
that we're not gonna push the envelope
20:28
forward. I'd say that's almost impossible. The
20:30
risk here is we're gonna lose too much of where we
20:32
have and we back slide a little bit. And
20:34
we're gonna find out the answer to that question
20:37
in just the next five years about whether or
20:39
not we can retool fast enough.
20:42
North America basically needs to double the size
20:44
of the industrial plant. And if we fail
20:46
that, then we lose a lot
20:48
of what we already have. I can
20:51
see that Peter D disagrees. So
20:53
Peter D back to you for a quick- I vehemently disagree.
20:56
Yeah, so this is so wrong in
20:58
my opinion. What's
21:01
happening is we have more
21:04
individuals, more empowered
21:06
with technology than ever before.
21:08
We've created an interconnected globe
21:10
where people have gigabit bandwidth anywhere
21:12
on the planet. They now have
21:14
the ability to use AI to
21:17
code at a speed like never
21:19
before. The cost is demonetizing of
21:21
the ability to innovate and create,
21:23
right? It used to be that it would cost you
21:25
$100 million to sequence a
21:27
genome. It's now down to 200 bucks. Your
21:30
ability to code used to require a
21:33
massive amount of education. Now you can
21:35
code just by explaining
21:38
through natural language what you
21:40
want. So the speed of
21:42
innovation is exploding onto the
21:44
theme. And the number of
21:46
individuals who've got access to
21:48
this technology is greater than
21:50
any time ever in human
21:52
history. And entrepreneurs that used to
21:54
require 50 or 100, 200
21:57
people to create a company are now creating a company.
22:00
No memory of high as a
22:02
resource. with two or three people. Who.
22:05
I think we're seeing a cambrian
22:07
explosion or innovation. I am by
22:09
no means a decrease and it's
22:11
gonna be accelerating. Tell. Me:
22:14
What? News since the future looks
22:16
like in say twenty sixty and
22:18
maybe take an American A standard
22:20
American. What do you think? lies
22:23
looks like. I think we're going to
22:25
make it over the hump. I think we're
22:27
to succeed in Dublin, the size of the
22:29
industrial plants and I think we're going to
22:31
make it through to when the millennials kids
22:33
enter the market and rebalance or demographics. here.
22:35
I don't think it's gonna take your twenties,
22:37
is getting twenty forty will be plenty of
22:39
time, and we will have a system where
22:41
we are largely immune to international shocks. We
22:43
have local workers serving local markets, using local
22:45
resources and getting there is going to be
22:47
the fastest economic growth in the history of
22:49
Canada, Mexico, in the United States. That a
22:51
good story. It's a great story is a
22:53
story. Of growth. But. I wouldn't
22:55
cold abundant. it will be driven by
22:57
a breakdown of the old system. And
23:00
subpoenas the Twenty first. He looks good,
23:02
is much more localized but is an
23:04
ugly way to get their P. Diddy.
23:07
So I'm and ninety degree with Peters. yeah
23:09
know a lot of that are and I
23:12
do to Twenty Forty I'd hard to predict
23:14
the on Twenty Four to honestly we're going
23:16
to be in the next twenty years we're
23:18
going to be adding healthy decades on to
23:21
the human lifespan and this one of areas
23:23
that on focused on the up fingers crossed
23:25
and are about to launch a massive X
23:28
prize in that area. but we're going to
23:30
add Twenty Healthy Years I A d a
23:32
study done out of Harvard. One School of
23:34
Business in Oxford said that for every. Healthy
23:37
year you add. to
23:39
the lifespan of humanity is worth
23:42
thirty trillion dollars the global right
23:44
so we have more people living
23:46
longer healthier lives on it's a
23:49
positive on both sides of the
23:51
equation more empowered than ever before
23:53
we're going to see a i
23:56
have the most disruptive and most
23:58
reinvented or impact There are going
24:00
to be two kinds of companies at the end of
24:02
this decade, those fully utilizing AI and those out of
24:04
business. It's going to be that black and white. I
24:07
want to move on to climate. And
24:10
P2D, I want to turn to you
24:12
first and say, aren't we using the
24:14
Earth's resources? Will
24:16
there ever be a tipping point at
24:18
which we can't multiply them or become
24:20
sufficiently efficient or productive to deliver more
24:23
with less? Is science going to
24:25
allow this? This idea
24:27
that we are scarcity bound again
24:29
is built into our old brain
24:31
that evolved for hundreds of thousands
24:33
of years. We're living again in
24:36
a world where technology liberates resources.
24:38
So again, we used to kill
24:40
whales to get whale oil, right?
24:43
Now we're on the verge of fusion,
24:46
which will give us near infinite energy. We still
24:48
have an oil economy, and we will for the
24:50
next 20 or 30 years. It's
24:52
not an issue about that. But
24:54
we're going to be increasing the
24:56
amount of resources available to us.
24:58
We fight over water. There's 97.5% of
25:00
the water on the planet is
25:02
salt. 2% is ice, and we
25:04
fight over a half a percent of the water on Japan. But
25:08
there's an abundance-minded way of thinking about it. There's
25:10
plenty of water. We live on a water planet.
25:12
It's just not a usable form. That's
25:15
where technology comes in to capture
25:17
trillions of tons of water out of the atmosphere.
25:20
We call it rain or
25:22
desalinate water out of the oceans. What
25:25
other resources do we consider scarce?
25:27
Because I can show you the
25:29
technologies that can make it abundant.
25:32
I'll just say for climate real
25:34
quick, our ability to bring
25:36
the Earth back into balance
25:39
is something fundamentally critical. And
25:41
I think I would rather be fighting that battle
25:43
today with the tech we have versus 20 or
25:45
30 years ago. My concern
25:48
is that we don't have the tools to deal with
25:50
it yet. I think a best example I
25:52
can give you is what it takes to put up a solar
25:54
panel. Aluminum is the
25:56
most energy intensive of the primary industries
25:58
that we have. steel and fertilizer
26:01
and the rest. Taking
26:03
raw silicon and turning it into
26:05
a finished silicon panel requires seven
26:07
times the energy that it takes
26:09
to make the same
26:11
volume of aluminum. And
26:14
we're probably going to lose most of
26:16
our capacity to produce polysilicon at scale
26:18
when the Chinese break down. So
26:21
the issue here is ultimately out of time
26:24
frames, how long does it
26:26
take to build the industrial plant? How long
26:28
does it take to apply the technology? And
26:31
the issue that Peter D. and I have
26:33
always struggled with is whether or
26:35
not we've already passed the point of no
26:37
return on these technologies and we no longer
26:39
need the old system to push it forward
26:41
or whether we do need time to move
26:44
it forward. And I think the best example
26:46
I can give you there of where we
26:48
haven't crossed the Rubicon yet is AI. AI
26:50
chips are all three nanometer or smaller. They
26:52
all come from the same city in Taiwan, but
26:55
that makes it sound a lot simpler than it
26:57
is. There are 9,000 companies
26:59
that are involved in the manufacturing system
27:01
to allow those fabrication plants to work
27:03
and over half of them only produce
27:05
one product for one customer and they
27:07
have no competition anywhere else in the
27:09
world. So if you peel out any
27:11
small section of the global system that's
27:13
technologically oriented like say Germany, which is
27:15
in a severe demographic collapse
27:18
right now, we lose the ability to
27:20
make those chips at all or
27:22
certainly at scale. Now
27:25
we can rebuild that ecosystem, but
27:27
it takes time. So everything that
27:29
Peter D said about productivity, I
27:31
agree. The question is whether that's
27:33
this decade, the next decade
27:35
or the decade after. I'm going to
27:38
go back. We've got so much to cover in
27:40
so little time. So I'm going to ask quite
27:42
snappy responses if I can get from you.
27:45
I want to go back to you Peter
27:47
D. There's a war in Ukraine. We've got
27:49
a growing conflict in the Middle East. Peter
27:51
Z's already brought up China and his view
27:53
that China is my
27:55
language, not yours, Peter Z, but effectively
27:57
in decline and over the next decade.
28:00
We have a vulnerable Taiwan. I
28:02
haven't even talked about Iran and Russia. Are
28:05
we on the verge of a great powers war?
28:09
How does this conflict
28:12
affect your assessment? There's no
28:14
question that there's lots of reasons
28:17
to be scared, concerned, frightful, and
28:19
so forth. What I
28:22
draw confidence from is
28:25
history as well as a projected future.
28:28
If you ask anybody, would
28:31
you rather live in the year 1900 or the year 2023? If
28:35
you truly understand what life was like in 1900, where
28:38
you were working 80-hour work weeks, your
28:40
12-year-old kids were in the factories, you
28:42
were dead by 40 from tuberculosis, you'd
28:46
have to answer, I'd rather live today. The
28:50
world has gotten extraordinarily better by almost every
28:52
measure, not every measure, but by almost every
28:55
measure over the last 123 years. Over
28:59
that 123 years, we've also seen World
29:01
War I, World War II, the Spanish
29:03
Flu, the Vietnam War, 150 million
29:06
people die needlessly in those
29:08
conflicts, and yet the
29:10
world has gotten extraordinarily better.
29:14
This is not a straight
29:16
and linear path. It's got ups and
29:18
downs, ups and downs, but what I
29:21
truly believe is, yes, we're going to
29:23
have these problems and we're going
29:25
to overcome them. The number
29:27
one way to allow people to
29:29
become more peaceful is
29:32
to give them access to prosperity.
29:35
Peter Z, I want to talk to you about population
29:37
because that's one of the big issues that you've put
29:39
on the table. Thomas
29:42
Malthus back in 1798 predicted
29:45
that population growth would outstrip food
29:47
production. Since then, numerous
29:50
other scientists and experts have
29:52
said similarly, including most notably
29:54
Paul Ehrlich and his wife in the population bomb
29:56
in the late 60s. They've
29:59
all been wrong. Why is this
30:01
moment different? Industrialization.
30:04
Industrialization plus technology introduced us to this
30:06
very simple concept called synthetic fertilizer, and
30:08
it was applied at scale. And we
30:10
were able to put it on geographies
30:12
that without it could not grow food,
30:15
things like the Brazilian Serato, for example.
30:17
And that effectively increased the
30:20
amount of land that we could cultivate by a
30:22
factor of three. And that's what's kept us all
30:24
alive. As long as
30:26
there is no disruption to
30:29
the synthetic fertilizer supply chain,
30:31
we're good. China's
30:33
where the single largest source of phosphate
30:35
comes from, Belarus and Russia, the single largest
30:37
source of potash and nitrogen is
30:40
a natural gas derivative, and we're going to lose access
30:42
to a lot of that from the Russian space in
30:44
the Middle East as well. So we're going to have
30:46
to hack the genome of plants
30:49
in order to grow more food with
30:51
less fertilizer, and it is a race
30:53
against time, whether we can figure out
30:55
a way to improve yields on the
30:57
genetic side faster than we lose
30:59
the ability to produce it on
31:01
the synthetic fertilizer side. And I do
31:03
not have enough confidence to tell you
31:05
how we're going to come down on
31:07
that race. So time
31:10
is a big issue here.
31:12
Peter Dee, in your 2012
31:14
book, Abundance, you quote Matt
31:16
Ridley that, and I love
31:18
this, save time is the
31:20
best definition of prosperity. You
31:22
give a whole host of examples of how
31:24
time has been saved. You've done that today as well. But
31:27
many would argue today that time
31:29
is an increasingly rare commodity. Expectations
31:31
of what we achieve in any
31:34
moment has multiplied many times over.
31:36
So what do you say to
31:38
the argument that actually time is
31:40
shrinking, in fact? Every
31:42
human on the planet has one thing in
31:44
common, 24 hours in a day, seven days
31:46
in a week, and how you use that
31:49
kind of thing that differentiates wealth capabilities. And
31:52
Google saved us from going to the
31:54
libraries. ChatGPT is now giving us increased.
31:56
So yes, we are resetting our
31:59
expected performance. per unit time and
32:01
it's exploding onto the world, right? And
32:04
so our ability to solve problems, to
32:06
create new products, to create
32:09
additional prosperity is
32:11
increasing at an exponential
32:13
rate because of these technologies.
32:17
Okay, we're going to have to wrap
32:19
up our discussions. When we come back, we'll bring
32:21
in some more voices to further the conversation around
32:23
this question, will the future be abundant? We'll
32:25
be right back. Join
32:28

labyrinth of crime and secrets
32:43
within families. I'm cutting straight

33:00
Welcome back to Open to Debate. I'm
33:02
Zania Wicket, an Executive
33:04
Coach, Moderator and Speaker. I'm
33:07
joined by ex-Prize founder Peter
33:09
Diamandis and geopolitical strategist Peter
33:11
Zihan, who have been debating the
33:14
question, will the future be abundant? We're going
33:16
to bring some other voices in, some
33:18
members of the audience. Up first,
33:20
we have Alexa Michal of Fortune
33:23
Magazine. Alexa, welcome. What's your question
33:25
for the debaters? Peter D, I'll
33:27
start with you. You mentioned that
33:29
advances in technology and
33:32
research has really expanded, not just
33:34
lifespan, but health span, and we're going to
33:37
have these 20 extra years. So
33:39
I kind of want to talk about what
33:41
those years are really going to look like
33:43
and what it's going to sort of mean
33:45
to age in this country, given that this
33:47
is sort of uncharted territory, especially that I
33:49
think people would argue that people are also
33:51
aging into poverty. People are dealing with caregiving
33:53
duties. And so what's that going to look
33:55
like? It's a challenge, Alexa, because
33:57
people are probably not saving enough. money
34:00
for those extra years. The
34:02
reality is people retire because of
34:04
one of three reasons. Either they're
34:07
in pain, either low on
34:09
energy, or they're forced to retire.
34:12
But what happens at 65 or 70,
34:14
if at the top of your game, we've
34:16
got all the energy, all the capabilities, everything
34:18
you've ever had and more, I
34:20
think it's going to be a boom
34:23
for global GDP if we allow people
34:25
to continue working. I
34:27
think we're going to enter a new period of
34:29
life where you're starting your next startup, you're getting
34:31
your next university degree, you're exploring
34:34
the world even more. We shut down
34:37
people's earning capacity at 65. Why? What
34:39
if they don't have to? I think
34:41
it's a huge economic window of opportunity
34:43
that is coming. Peter, if you want
34:45
to respond quickly, go ahead. We obviously
34:47
have to change the political incentives right
34:49
now. And that requires reform of a
34:51
lot of programs that encourage people to
34:53
stop even before 65. And from
34:55
a medical point of view, the technology to watch
34:57
is biologics. Because if we can figure
34:59
out a way to make people productive
35:02
without the mental degradation, that obviously moves
35:04
the metrics in a lot of this.
35:06
Because if you can do that, we
35:08
get an extra group of people, roughly
35:10
70 million in the United States,
35:12
who can be part of whatever the future solution
35:14
and struggles are, as opposed to being part of
35:16
the problem. And that is one of the very
35:18
few technologies that I'm watching very, very closely, because
35:20
it looks like it's right at the cuff. And
35:23
we might be able to tip that into usefulness
35:25
within the next 24 months. And that's very profound.
35:27
Pushing hard. Please, please, please continue. Thanks so
35:29
much, Alexa. Next, I
35:31
want to invite Diane Francis to
35:34
our stage. Diane is from the
35:36
National Post. Diane, what question do
35:38
you have for the debaters? Well,
35:40
I think this is a marvelous
35:43
debate. I really enjoyed it. Here's
35:45
my question. Human nature, malevolent usage,
35:47
lack of regulation, anti-regulation, ignorance, and
35:50
algorithms in the form of very
35:52
dangerous religions and theologies. Tech
35:54
can't solve that, in fact, could be and
35:57
is being utilized to a bigger
35:59
world. I'd like to see him
36:01
to comment on that as well. I'll
36:04
jump in. And you're absolutely right. There's no
36:06
question that we're going to see a malevolent
36:08
use of AI. And it's
36:10
my biggest concern over the next one
36:12
to five years. I think we're going to see
36:14
the election be patient zero in
36:17
this situation. I think on
36:19
the flip side, what's going on is
36:21
what I would call loss of privacy
36:23
is going to be a countervailing force.
36:25
It's going to be hard to hide
36:28
things more than ever before. So
36:31
it's going to be a white hat, black hat race
36:34
in terms of AI being used to help
36:36
determine malevolent AI's usage.
36:40
And one question to ask everybody listening
36:42
is, do you believe that human nature
36:44
is ultimately good or bad? I believe
36:46
it is ultimately good. And
36:49
I believe that an entrepreneur, and this
36:51
is my mission is to inspire and
36:53
guide entrepreneurs to create a hopeful, compelling,
36:55
and abundant future for humanity. That's
36:57
my massive transformative purpose. I say it every
36:59
morning. It drives all of my organizations
37:02
and my companies. Entrepreneurs
37:04
are individuals who find problems and
37:06
fix problems. And
37:09
so the world's largest problems are the
37:11
world's biggest business opportunities. So when you
37:13
see a problem, it's an entrepreneurial opportunity.
37:15
And I think we have more positive
37:18
minds than entrepreneurs trying to find and
37:20
slay and solve problems at any time
37:22
ever in human history. Peter Z,
37:24
I think that question was also framed at you,
37:26
wasn't it, Diane? Sure. Let
37:29
me give you the bad and then the good. First,
37:31
the bad. We've got two major powers, the Russians and
37:33
the Chinese, who are going to vanish from the world
37:35
over the course of the next generation or two. The
37:37
question is whether it happens fast or slow. And
37:39
when countries feel they're in a corner and they
37:41
have nothing to lose, the chances of them doing
37:43
something that they normally wouldn't consider, of course, rises
37:45
very high. But let me
37:48
give you two examples of why I don't
37:50
think that their decline is going to be
37:52
catastrophic for the rest of us. In
37:54
the case of China, they don't
37:56
command the top technology. They import
37:58
all the services. time they import all the
38:01
chips that are necessary for them to access
38:03
AI at scale. And we're
38:05
already in the early stages of the
38:07
Biden administration and whoever follows Biden probably
38:09
working to build a wall in that
38:11
space. The Russians, back
38:14
in 1987, when the KGB
38:16
realized that the end was nigh, and
38:18
remember back in the late 80s, the
38:20
KGB controlled the Politburo. They
38:23
basically had a meeting where they decided whether or
38:25
not they wanted to spread nuclear weapons around the
38:27
world and salt the earth to destroy whatever the
38:29
West might do next. And they decided the answer
38:32
was no. Even in
38:34
the darkest hour for a lot
38:36
of these countries, the desire to
38:39
end the human condition just doesn't
38:41
exist. That doesn't mean
38:43
they day quietly. That doesn't mean there aren't
38:45
problems. And we are still cleaning up
38:47
the mess from the Soviet disintegration. But
38:50
it does mean there are limits. I
38:53
am far more concerned about powerful
38:56
individuals that maybe don't have restrictions on
38:58
their actions than I am about powerful
39:00
countries that are getting desperate. And
39:02
that's a different sort of problem. Peter Dee, I think
39:05
you've just come up with a great suggestion
39:07
of another debate, which is, are people inherently
39:09
good or bad? Great
39:11
question, Diane. Do you have a follow-up? I
39:14
just, I think that putting the hands of
39:16
increasingly powerful tech into people that may not
39:18
be good is something that I don't see
39:20
talked enough about. I just wondered, you know,
39:23
how optimistic are you, Peter, because you're
39:25
my optimist. There are going to be challenges
39:27
and issues in the near term. It's
39:30
the one to five year period that I'm
39:32
concerned about navigating that and allowing
39:35
humanity to adjust to it. It
39:39
is transformative change. And I think we humans
39:41
do not like change. We like waking up
39:43
in the morning and knowing that the world
39:45
was the same as it was when we
39:47
went to sleep, no matter what condition we're
39:49
in. And we are in an
39:51
accelerating period of change. And
39:53
it is creating more abundance, which is the topic
39:55
here. I think you can be a little bit
39:57
more optimistic, Ms. Francis. bit
40:00
more time than I think most people think. If we have
40:02
a problem with the chip production, which I think we're going
40:04
to, that buys us a few more years right there. And
40:06
the fact that we're already having these discussions, I mean, think
40:09
about everything that is going on in the American Congress right
40:11
now, what a mess it is. They
40:13
still found a time over the last
40:15
several weeks to have an open session
40:17
about the ethics of artificial intelligence. So
40:20
unlike previous technological revolutions where we come
40:22
very late to the game, we're discussing
40:24
this one as it unfolds. It doesn't
40:26
mean we're going to get it right
40:28
on the first try, but we're at
40:30
least not going into it blind. Thank you so
40:33
much, Diane, for your questions. Let's bring
40:35
on Andy Wang. Andy is the host
40:37
of the podcast called Inspired Money. Andy,
40:39
welcome. Go ahead with your question. Thank
40:42
you, Xenia. From an investor's perspective, there
40:44
are always growth opportunities. And at the
40:46
same time, other areas that are contracting.
40:49
I'd like to hear from both Peter D and Peter
40:51
Z. Given your
40:54
respective outlooks, what areas
40:56
might be beneficiaries of major trends over
40:58
the next couple of decades? Are
41:00
there companies, sectors, or geographic
41:02
regions where investors should
41:05
look for opportunities? So Andy,
41:08
I'm investing my money, my venture
41:10
funds money, my time in
41:13
two areas, health span, health care,
41:15
biotech. I think there's
41:18
people would give an extraordinary amount of
41:20
their wealth to add 20 plus
41:23
healthy years and AI. I think those
41:25
are the two largest markets on the
41:27
planet. And they're going to
41:29
transform every single thing that we have
41:31
and we do. What's
41:34
on the downside? Any
41:36
company that is not an exponential
41:38
organization that is born more than
41:40
30 years ago are
41:44
going to be out competed, out thought, and
41:46
actually massively disrupted what's coming down the pipe.
41:49
I think we need to focus on the
41:51
scarcity in order to have the opportunity to
41:54
turn it into abundance. So number one, we
41:56
need to diversify the semiconductor supply chain for
41:58
the best chips. Right now, We
42:00
are incredibly fragile in that and anything
42:02
breaks anywhere and the whole thing stops
42:05
Building that will take years, but it's certainly
42:07
within our technical capacity to do it and
42:09
the benefits I agree with Peter B are
42:11
so outsized. It's totally worth our time second
42:15
if Agriculture goes the way I'm
42:17
sharing we need a drastic increase in
42:19
production The two ways to
42:21
do that ironically are both related to AI One
42:24
is automating farming to a degree so
42:27
that each individual plant gets individual attention
42:29
that requires AI on the tractor In
42:31
order to put pesticides fertilizers water whatever it happens
42:33
to be on a plant by plant basis I
42:36
call it digital gardening and
42:38
the other aspect is hacking the genome
42:40
of absolutely everything We've
42:42
been moving in that direction for 30 years Ten
42:45
years ago corn plants were 13 feet
42:47
tall now They're closer to five but
42:50
they generate three times as many kernels
42:52
as the old system did We
42:54
need more of that because if we
42:56
can't provide broadcast agriculture for a place
42:58
like Brazil Then places like
43:00
Illinois need to at least double input to
43:03
prevent a billion people from starving This
43:06
can probably all be done in less than a
43:08
decade, but you know chop chop. I agree 100%
43:10
with you Peter You
43:13
know it is we're seeing incredible We're
43:15
seeing a new species of rice that
43:17
are able to have multiple crops per
43:19
planting and for those who are concerned
43:21
about GMO listen GMO has never killed
43:23
anybody but I can guarantee you it
43:25
saved hundreds of millions of lives. I'm
43:27
less interested in rice Soy,
43:30
I think is the one that's going to be
43:32
the real game-changer because it's a protein plant instead
43:34
of a starch plant We also have vertical farming
43:37
and cultivated meats coming online the idea that we
43:39
have to eat food the way It's always been
43:41
produced in the way to grow an entire cow
43:43
to get access to meat is going to be
43:45
seemed as insane in the future Why not just
43:48
grow the protein that you need to make a
43:50
good burger that that's a full topic for a
43:52
whole nother debate. I agree Thanks
43:55
so much Andy really grateful for your
43:57
question. I've got a question for the two of
44:00
you if I may, which is what's
44:02
the one argument, and maybe we'll start
44:04
with Peter Z, what's the
44:06
one argument from your colleague
44:09
that you agree or disagree
44:12
most with and why? Well, you
44:14
know, we actually don't disagree on what technology
44:16
can do. We don't disagree really on what
44:18
the pace of technology can achieve. Our big
44:20
disagreement is whether the system we're in today
44:23
is sustainable in the near-term future or not,
44:25
or if we have to go through a
44:27
bit of a drop before we start back
44:29
up. I would argue that demographics
44:31
very clearly means that we're going to have to
44:33
take a breather here. I
44:35
don't see a way around that. I don't
44:37
see how manufacturing supply chains that allow technology
44:40
to apply at scale can continue this decade
44:42
without a massive reorganization. But
44:44
on the rest of this, I'm with him. And
44:48
I have to say, I agree with much of
44:50
what Peter Z has said here. The
44:52
only thing I would say is
44:54
it's a linear extrapolation to believe
44:56
that re-engineering the supply chain will
44:58
take as long as it has,
45:01
because we've got capabilities
45:03
coming from AI that are going
45:06
to help us much more rapidly
45:08
re-engineer. We have even talked
45:10
about quantum technologies coming down the pike
45:12
that are going to be impacting material
45:14
science and biology in an extraordinary fashion.
45:18
I think if we were
45:20
going to try and re-replicate the old
45:22
school system we've developed over the industrial
45:24
military complex of the last century, yeah,
45:26
it will take many, many decades. But
45:29
I think we have shortcuts to
45:32
be had based upon technology.
45:34
Having said that, yes,
45:36
there are supply chain issues. We saw
45:38
that during COVID, which can be put
45:41
us in a precarious situation. Let
45:43
me give you an example to show you the promise and the peril. Textiles.
45:47
Very unsexy technology was the root of
45:49
industrialization over a century ago. The
45:52
model has always been the same. Up until the
45:54
90s in the United States, it was women and
45:56
Appalachia with snowing machines. Well, then we got
45:58
NAFTA, and the model moved to the United States. Mexico where
46:00
the women with the sewing machines were cheaper. And
46:02
then we had the WTO where it moved to
46:04
India and China where the women with the sewing
46:06
machines were cheaper. Then we had COVID
46:08
and suddenly we didn't have clothes. So
46:11
some enterprise invokes in North Carolina built
46:13
some facilities that are two acres under
46:15
one roof that take raw cotton, clean
46:17
it, turn it into thread and then
46:20
yarn and then cloth and then clothes.
46:22
And the end product is
46:24
cheaper than what you get out of Bangladesh
46:26
per unit. And these places have a staff
46:28
of two. We had no
46:30
idea we could do that until we
46:33
were pushed and we found out we
46:35
had to. We're going to find things
46:37
like that as we re-industrialize, but
46:40
we're not going to know what they are
46:42
until they happen. You're making the exact point
46:44
I want to make. A company variant 3D
46:46
that's here in Malibu is 3D printing clothing
46:48
at an extraordinary rate and not lights out
46:50
scenario. And I think this
46:52
is what entrepreneurs do. They demonetize
46:54
and democratize. And I think anybody
46:57
listening to this, you know, there are
46:59
massive opportunities to get ahead of the
47:01
curve. Now's the time to bring it
47:03
home with closing remarks. I'm
47:05
going to go to you, Peter D. First. You
47:07
have the floor. Leave us with
47:10
a reason to believe that yes, is
47:12
the answer to the question, will the
47:14
future be abundant? Okay. I
47:17
built an AI model called
47:19
Peter Vaught and I'm going
47:21
to ask Peter Vaught to go ahead and
47:23
respond to Peter Zion. Peter Vaught, would you?
47:27
Peter Zion's assertion that we are returning
47:29
to a world resembling pre-World War II
47:31
is overly pessimistic. The
47:34
world today is vastly different
47:36
with exponential technologies driving progress.
47:39
Let's focus on leveraging these capabilities to
47:41
create a future that surpasses any
47:43
previous era. I understand Peter's
47:45
concerns about a pricier and slower world,
47:48
but I see this as a temporary transition.
47:51
I believe in the potential of technology
47:53
to solve global challenges. History
47:55
shows that advancements have consistently improved
47:57
our lives. Let's dive into a.
47:59
a few concrete examples. One,
48:02
energy. We're witnessing a
48:05
global shift towards renewable energy
48:07
sources like solar and wind
48:09
with costs plummeting and installations
48:12
surging worldwide. Two, transportation. Electric
48:14
vehicles are gaining traction with
48:17
major automakers investing heavily. Additionally,
48:20
we're seeing advancements in autonomous
48:22
vehicles, hyperloop technology
48:24
and even flying taxis.
48:26
Three, education. Online
48:29
learning platforms are democratizing education,
48:32
allowing people worldwide to access
48:34
high quality educational resources. Virtual
48:36
reality and augmented reality are transforming
48:39
the learning experience. These
48:41
examples illustrate how innovation and technology
48:43
are reshaping various sectors, creating opportunities
48:46
for positive change and a brighter
48:48
future. So that's, you
48:50
can access pinterbot.ai, which
48:53
you can ask questions about, about
48:56
it to train on my books and my blogs. I
48:59
believe in data driven optimism and the
49:01
data has been consistent up into the
49:03
right for the past century
49:06
and technology, which has made that
49:08
transition is not slowing down. It's
49:11
accelerating. Is there danger out there? Of
49:14
course. Do I believe
49:16
in entrepreneurs and individuals to find
49:18
and solve problems more
49:20
than ever before? And I think they're the only
49:22
ones who do. So is
49:24
the world becoming more abundant? It
49:29
is becoming abundant in terms of access to
49:31
all the fundamentals. Thank you, Peter. Thank
49:34
you, Peter Bott. Now
49:36
Peter Z, you have the final word.
49:38
You're a bottle, please. Tell us why
49:41
you answer no to the question, will
49:43
the future be abundant? We don't have
49:45
the redundancy yet. We don't have the
49:47
resiliency yet. And if things go with
49:50
demographics in China and pre-globalization the way
49:52
I'm anticipating, we don't have
49:54
that in finance or industrial materials
49:57
or manufacturing or above all
49:59
agriculture. And until we do,
50:02
people are going to get left behind at scale.
50:06
Hopefully, over the next 20 years, we can
50:08
work out the kinks of this transition and
50:10
not lose a lot of what we've achieved
50:12
in the last century. But if
50:14
you look back on the two millennia of
50:17
history before 1900, that suggests that unlocking
50:22
that potential is a lot more difficult than it
50:24
seems to us at the moment we're in now.
50:27
Thank you so much. And that concludes
50:29
our debate. I'd like to thank our
50:31
debaters, Peter and Peter and Peter Bott.
