any other hackers here today yeah good okay I have so much to share I work at
okay I have so much to share I work at
okay I have so much to share I work at the intellectual Ventures lab with
the intellectual Ventures lab with
the intellectual Ventures lab with Nathan Myhrvold and Bill Gates trying to
Nathan Myhrvold and Bill Gates trying to
Nathan Myhrvold and Bill Gates trying to figure out how to invent for the biggest
figure out how to invent for the biggest
figure out how to invent for the biggest problems that we can find I want to show
problems that we can find I want to show
problems that we can find I want to show you what that looks like a little bit so
you what that looks like a little bit so
you what that looks like a little bit so for almost the whole history of the
for almost the whole history of the
for almost the whole history of the world there just weren’t any people
world there just weren’t any people
world there just weren’t any people until about 160,000 years ago we got the
until about 160,000 years ago we got the
until about 160,000 years ago we got the first ones then a few thousand a few
first ones then a few thousand a few
first ones then a few thousand a few hundred thousand a few million and then
hundred thousand a few million and then
hundred thousand a few million and then you know here’s that hockey stick growth
you know here’s that hockey stick growth
you know here’s that hockey stick growth curve we’re beating you over the head
curve we’re beating you over the head
curve we’re beating you over the head with just just two hundred years ago we
with just just two hundred years ago we
with just just two hundred years ago we got the first billion and since then Bam
got the first billion and since then Bam
got the first billion and since then Bam Bam Bam seven billion people in 2011 and
Bam Bam seven billion people in 2011 and
Bam Bam seven billion people in 2011 and what happened over that time is that we
what happened over that time is that we
what happened over that time is that we solved the hard technical problems that
solved the hard technical problems that
solved the hard technical problems that kept humans from thriving right
kept humans from thriving right
kept humans from thriving right it wasn’t government policy wasn’t

that solved one of the threats that kept
that solved one of the threats that kept us from going how do you feed all these
us from going how do you feed all these
us from going how do you feed all these people eradicate disease give most of
people eradicate disease give most of

there’s one thing all these extra people
there’s one thing all these extra people are good for it’s making more problems
are good for it’s making more problems
are good for it’s making more problems so we have to figure out how are we
so we have to figure out how are we
so we have to figure out how are we going to scale up our ability to invent
going to scale up our ability to invent
going to scale up our ability to invent solutions at the same rate that we
solutions at the same rate that we
solutions at the same rate that we create the problems right so I work at
create the problems right so I work at
create the problems right so I work at the intellectual Ventures lab this is

the intellectual Ventures lab this is what it looks like we basically just
what it looks like we basically just
what it looks like we basically just bought one of every tool in the world
bought one of every tool in the world
bought one of every tool in the world hired one of every kind of scientist put
