“At the end of the day, however, we are facing a much bigger, more metaphysical question… how much security do we want?”

This is a seriously heavy talk that I hope some of you give the 45 minutes it takes to get through. It’s dense and challenging and frightening, but there is probably no better time to start considering a post-singularity view of security than right now. If we do not establish the proper models of dignity, privacy and security now when humans are still the greatest computational threat to monitor we will, all too soon, fall prey to our own foolish misjudgements when computers exceed us.
