This is an interview with Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, and AGI researcher for many decades.
This is the third episode in a 5-part series about "AGI Destinations" - where we unpack the preferable and non-preferable futures humanity might strive towards in the years ahead.

I often recommend Ben's "Cosmist Manifesto" as a relatively frank and honest take on posthuman / AGI futures: https://www.amazon.com/Cosmist-Manifesto-Practical-Philosophy-Posthuman/dp/0984609709

There three main questions we'll be covering on The Trajectory:
1. Who are the power players in AGI and what are their incentives?
2. What kind of posthuman future are we moving towards, or should we be moving towards?
3. What should we do about it?
If this sounds like it's up your alley, I'm glad to have you here.
