00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:49,I ** a law
only for my kind,

00:01:50,873 --> 00:01:53,I ** no law for all.

00:01:53,582 --> 00:01:55,I ** a law
only for my kind,

00:01:57,102 --> 00:02:00,I ** a law
only for my kind,

00:02:01,244 --> 00:02:04,I ** no law for all.

00:02:14,982 --> 00:02:19,Ladies and gentlemen,
our today's speaker...

00:02:48,415 --> 00:02:50,TE Lawrence,

00:02:50,901 --> 00:02:54,eponymously of Arabia,
but very much an Englishman

00:02:54,586 --> 00:02:59,favored pinching a burning match
between his fingers to put it out.

00:03:00,203 --> 00:03:04,When asked by his colleague,
William Potter, to reveal his trick...

00:03:05,036 --> 00:03:07,how is it he so effectively
extinguished the flame

00:03:07,409 --> 00:03:09,without hurting himself whatsoever,

00:03:09,776 --> 00:03:13,Lawrence just smiled
and said, "The trick, Potter,

00:03:13,555 --> 00:03:15,is not minding it hurts.

00:03:20,647 --> 00:03:24,The fire that danced
at the end of that match

00:03:24,236 --> 00:03:26,was a gift from the Titan, Prometheus,

00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:30,a gift that he stole
from the gods,

00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:32,who were terrified

00:03:32,604 --> 00:03:37,of what we might do with it were it
to fall into our hairy little paws.

00:03:37,677 --> 00:03:39,When Prometheus was caught

00:03:39,821 --> 00:03:42,and brought to justice
for his theft,

00:03:42,779 --> 00:03:48,the gods, well, you might say
they overreacted a little.

00:03:49,884 --> 00:03:52,The poor man was tied to a rock

00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:58,as an eagle ripped through his belly
and ate his liver over and over,

00:03:57,874 --> 00:03:59,day after day,

00:04:00,189 --> 00:04:02,ad infinitum.

00:04:02,211 --> 00:04:05,All because he gave us fire,

00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,our first true piece of technology:
Fire.

00:04:13,505 --> 00:04:16,Such a very long time ago,

00:04:17,106 --> 00:04:19,which begs the question

00:04:20,525 --> 00:04:22,what have we done with it?

00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:28,100,000 BC: Stone tools.

00:04:28,278 --> 00:04:30,4,000 BC: The wheel.

00:04:30,738 --> 00:04:34,800 BC: Sundial.

00:04:34,136 --> 00:04:37,9th century AD: Gunpowder.

00:04:37,776 --> 00:04:39,Bit of a game-changer, that one.

00:04:39,558 --> 00:04:42,1441: The printing press

00:04:42,190 --> 00:04:43,only slightly less impactful.

00:04:43,856 --> 00:04:48,19th century: Steam engine.
Railway.

00:04:48,518 --> 00:04:51,Eureka!
The light bulb!!

00:04:51,444 --> 00:04:56,20th century:
The automobile, television,

00:04:56,199 --> 00:05:00,nuclear weapons, space craft,
internet.

00:05:00,225 --> 00:05:05,21st century: Biotech, nanotech,
fusion and fission and M-theory

00:05:05,831 --> 00:05:08,and that was just the first decade.

00:05:11,604 --> 00:05:16,We are now 3 months
into the year of our Lord, 2023.

00:05:16,903 --> 00:05:18,At this moment in our civilization,

00:05:18,843 --> 00:05:23,we're on the verge of terraforming
planets undiscovered just a decade ago.

00:05:24,035 --> 00:05:29,We have identified the genetic chain
of events behind 98% of cancers.

00:05:29,484 --> 00:05:34,A chain we have broken
effectively curing them.

00:05:35,616 --> 00:05:40,We can create cybernetic individuals
who, in just a few short years,

00:05:40,341 --> 00:05:43,will be completely indistinguishable from us.

00:05:45,198 --> 00:05:48,Which leads to an obvious conclusion:

00:05:49,576 --> 00:05:53,We are the gods now.

00:06:02,288 --> 00:06:05,I haven't been struck down,
I'll take that to mean I'm right.

00:06:08,582 --> 00:06:11,We wield incredible power.

00:06:11,067 --> 00:06:15,The power to transform,
to destroy and to create again.

00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:18,The question of course
before us is,

00:06:18,473 --> 00:06:21,"What the hell are we supposed
to do with this power?"

00:06:21,013 --> 00:06:22,or more importantly
one should ask,

00:06:22,578 --> 00:06:26,"What are we allowed
to do with this power?"

00:06:26,171 --> 00:06:30,The answer to that my friends...
is nothing.

00:06:32,397 --> 00:06:37,Rules, restrictions, laws,
ethical guidelines,

00:06:37,793 --> 00:06:41,all but forbidding us
from moving forward.

00:06:43,081 --> 00:06:46,Well, where were the ethics
during the Arabian conflicts?

00:06:46,292 --> 00:06:50,Why are rules preventing us from
feeding impoverished cultures?

00:06:51,213 --> 00:06:53,How is there a law that states

00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:57,if we build a man
from wires and metal,

00:06:57,711 --> 00:07:00,the man who will
never grow old,

00:07:00,164 --> 00:07:04,who will never feel the heat of a star
or the cold of the moon,

00:07:04,436 --> 00:07:09,how is the creation of such
an incredible individual considered unnatural?

00:07:12,339 --> 00:07:15,The answer to all
these questions is simple.

00:07:16,628 --> 00:07:20,These rules exist because
the people who created them

00:07:20,308 --> 00:07:23,were afraid of what would
happen if they didn't.

00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,Well, I ** not afraid.

00:07:34,966 --> 00:07:37,For those of you who know me,

00:07:37,756 --> 00:07:41,you will be aware by now
that my ambition is unlimited.

00:07:41,257 --> 00:07:45,You know that I will
settle for nothing short of greatness,

00:07:45,584 --> 00:07:48,or I will die trying.

00:07:49,034 --> 00:07:52,For those of you
who do not yet know me,

00:07:52,780 --> 00:07:55,allow me to introduce myself:

00:07:57,598 --> 00:08:00,My name is Peter Weyland.

00:08:01,745 --> 00:08:04,And if you'll indulge me,

00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,I'd like to change the world.
