How long?

Tim Urban: Elon Musk, Neuralink, AI, Aliens, and the Future of Humanity | Lex Fridman Podcast #264

Just started listening to the above.

They are discussing a question that Tim Urban asked on his blog.

Suppposed a Wicked Witch came to the United States and said I'm going to take away everything in the world that has been made by humans.

That means EVERYTHING. No buildings, clothes, tools. ANYTHING.

We would all still have all the knowledge we have in our minds.

She says that I will restore all if you can produce ONE Apple iPhone 13 that can pass being sold in an Apple Store.

How long do you think it would take before that phone was produced?


As they are discussing they bring up how people from thousands and thousands of years ago would be laughing at us because they'd have had more skills at acquiring food then we would.
