Technology is rapidly evolving, fundamentally altering human capabilities and societal norms, which in turn necessitates a more adaptable and humble approach to ethics, moving beyond rigid, black-and-white definitions.

a quick new idea daily from the world's
greatest tedx talks
i'm your host tosa leone and this
today we're going to hear from scientist
and entrepreneur juan enriquez
in his talk he examines ethics to the
lens of technology and how advancements
shape the norms that each generation
lives by
just think about your own social media feed
feed
technology has made it easy for us to
share every thought reaction and opinion
but would you stand by everything you've
ever tweeted
as we look back from the supposedly
enlightened vantage point of the present
juan advises us to take a new approach
in judging the past
normally i talk about science
and today i'm going to talk about ethics
and the reason i'm going to talk about
ethics is because
there's been a lot of distraction from
science by people who are certain that
they know the answer
and part of it is promoted by ourselves
because when we take a new job
we get this great big book that just
drops on our desk and it's the ethics manual
manual
and the ethics manual tells you this is right
right
and this is wrong
and it's pretty black and white
and it's one of the most boring
documents ever written by a human being
right i mean if you don't know this
stuff by the time you take that job you
shouldn't be in that job
because it's telling you stuff you
already know
and i guess the question that i want to
address today particularly in today's
climate which is slightly polarized
is who's teaching us
what it is to be ethical
so i'd like you to take about 10 seconds
in your own minds
and just think through who taught you
all right now that you've got the answer
in your minds
here's some of the answers that
sometimes you get
so you have a holy book that tells you
the stuff and mama teaches you and the
preacher teaches you and the teacher
touches you
and the lawyer teaches you and the
doctor and of course the government
and a whole bunch of other people your
peers and facebook and twitter and
all kinds of good
we're going through this
culture war
during a time when technology is
changing stuff very quickly
it's changing who we speak to it's
changing who we talk to it's changing
what we can do
and in that context ethics doesn't
become black and white it becomes fifty
i don't think we understand how fast
and how radically technology is changing us
us see
see
the fundamental act of evolution is sex
no sex no evolution
and we take it for granted
so
how do we think about this well bring
back grandpa and grandma and let's have
okay
but instead of bringing back as
nice white-haired folks we're going to
take a time machine we're going to bring
them back as hormone-filled 18 year olds
so you now have your four grandparents
sitting in front of you and you're
talking to them about sex
that's an interesting conversation
you can now have sex and not have a baby
do you understand how weird that would
be two generations ago
because every animal and every human
generation normally sex equal conception
and now you're telling them
oh no we can have free sex and never conceive
now let's come back to the ethics had we
polled society should you do this two
generations ago they would have said
hell no
so how do we establish the ethics for
the next generations as technology
changes what you can do
technology has a lot to do
with changing the future
and as we sit here today now try the
same thought experiment have your
grandkids age 60 bring you back
and tell you about sex
do you think sex and conception and
reproduction is going to look the same
how do we establish a ethical
conversation on that how do we decide
what should be allowed what shouldn't be allowed
allowed
do we need a certain humility
to judge the past
and to establish the rules for the future
future
because they may be doing things that we
might find really strange and
and
just as last series of points
it may be that we are doing things today
that will seem pretty darn unethical to
our kids because technology changes the boundaries
boundaries
of what is allowable
technology sometimes drives very
when you have an alternative
and you don't have to go vegetarian and
you can still eat meat
when there are clear alternatives that
are by technology so we don't have to do
this how do you think they're going to
judge us
so let's teach a little bit of generation
generation
a little bit of
ethical humility
both to our own generation and to the
next generation
as this collision between ethics and
technology takes place
let's be a little less self-righteous
and a little bit less judgmental towards
the past and hope the next generations
establishing civility in conversations
is going to be really important
understanding where the other person is
coming from what they were taught is
really important
helping bridge
towards what we discover is the right
arc of history which i think we're on i
think this is the best time to be alive
despite all the stuff that's going on there
but we need patience we need humility
