? Watch my the full chat with Sabine https://youtu.be/g00ilS6tBvs 00:00 What would you put in your ‘ethical’ -- not material — will. That is, what wisdom or values do you most want to articulate to future generations as an ‘inheritance’? (An ethical will is an ancient Jewish document (known as a “Zava’ah” in Hebrew). The words written so long ago are like a spiritual cipher or tool box that can be opened over and over to provide comfort and guidance. The original template for its use came from Genesis 49:1-33: Jacob gathered his 12 sons to offer them his blessing and predict their future. They’re not only for Jews — they’re for everyone! Even Alfred Nobel’s will had an ethical component.. See some modern examples and templates here: Ethical Will Worksheet. 02:00 Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” What material object or knowledge would you put in, or on, your monolith? You probably recall in Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 a Space Odyssey, Monoliths were built by an unseen extraterrestrial species which were eventually discovered in the Solar System by humans. The response of the characters to their messages/warnings from the monoliths encourages humankind to progress with technological development and space travel.” In other words, what would you put in, or on, a billion year time capsule? This is not unlike Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman’s ‘cataclysm question’ “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. What is yours? 03:00 “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, they are almost certainly right. When they state that something is impossible, they are very probably wrong”. What have you changed your mind on? 04:00 Lastly, going backwards in time, Sir Arthur C. Clarke's “Third Law" states: "The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” That is the origin of the name of my podcast… Accordingly, what mysterious aspect of life perplexed you as a 20-30 year old? What were those great moments of clarity, inciting incidents, and breakthroughs that led to that person making a final push to where you are now? What once seemed impossible to you…until you did it? (In other words, advice to your former self).
