A few minutes into the video in 1980 Jiddu accurately predicts the future of computers and how they may effect the human mind 

IN ALL WAYS THERE IS THIS FEAR
OF ENDING
WHICH IS DEATH
AND ALSO  
HUMAN BEING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,  FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL
HAVE THOUGHT
HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT
IF THERE IS SOMETHING SACRED BEYOND ALL... THOUGHT
SOMETHING THAT IS INCORRUPTIBLE, TIMELESS... AND SO ON.

(WE WERE SAYING YESTERDAY)

THERE IS NOT ONLY GROUP CONSCIOUSNESS, LIKE THE BUSINESS PEOPLE, WITH THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS. THE SCIENTISTS WITH THEIRS AND THE CARPENTER WITH 'HIS' AND SO ON. ALL THESE LAYERS OF CONTENT OF CONSCIOUSNESS ARE...  
THE PRODUCT OF THOUGHT.
THOUGHT
HAS CREATED EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

TECHNOLOGICALLY 

FROM THE EXTRAORDINARY, COMPUTERS, TO COMMUNICATION, TO ROBOTS AND SO ON. SURGERY, MEDICINE.  
AND ALSO THOUGHT HAS INVENTED RELIGIONS.

PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY, OR IMPATIENT OR IRRITATED. WHEN WE POINT OUT CERTAIN THINGS.

WHEN WE SAY...

ALL THE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD,  ARE EITHER PUT TOGETHER, INVENTED,  BROUGHT TOGETHER,  BY THOUGHT.

AND THOUGHT HAS INVENTED THE COMPUTER !

WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY AND THE FUTURE OF THE COMPUTER.

THE COMPUTER IS GOING TO OUTSTRIP MAN 

IN HIS THOUGHT

THE COMPUTER IS GOIN TO CHANGE... THE STRUCTURE OF SOCIETY,  THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT (THE STRUCTURE OF SOCIETY) THIS IS NOT SOME... FANTASTIC,  CONCLUSION OF THE SPEAKER...
OR... SOME FANTASY.  THIS IS ACTUALLY GOIN ON.
FOR WHICH YOU ARE NOT AWARE.

THE COMPUTER CAN LEARN, INVENT AND THERE'S A MECHANICAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE COMPUTER IS GOING TO MAKE EMPLOYMENT OF HUMAN BEINGS PRACTICALLY UNNECESSARY.  PERHAPS HUMANS WILL BE AWAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS A DAY.
SEE THESE ARE ALL FACTS THAT ARE COMING.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT, YOU MAY REVOLT AGAINST IT, BUT,  IT'S COMING.

AND THOUGHT HAS INVENTED IT AND HUMAN THOUGHT IS LIMITED BUT, THE MECHANICAL INTELLIGENCE OF THE COMPUTER IS GOING TO OUTSTRIP MAN

SO WHAT IS A HUMAN BEING THEN ?

ARE YOU FOLLOWING  ALL THIS ?

THESE ARE FACTS

NOT SOME SPECIALIZED CONCLUSIONS OF THE SPEAKER...  

IT IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE TOTALLY, OUR LIVES.

AND WHEN YOU CONCISER WHAT IT'S CAPACITY IS.   THEN WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES.  WHAT IS A HUMAN BEING TO DO ? IT IS GOING TO TAKE OVER ALL THE ACTIVITIES OF THE BRAIN... MOST OF IT. AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BRAIN THEN ?

THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT  HUMAN BEING WHO'S OCCUPATION HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE COMPUTER,  OR,  THE ROBOT AND SO ON.  THEN WHAT BECOMES OF THE HUMAN ?

WHAT IS A HUMAN BEING TO DO ?

WHAT BECOMES OF THE...HUMAN ?

WE HAVE STOPPED LEARNING

WHAT IS LEARNING ?

THE HUMAN BRAIN. WHICH HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED FOR SOOOOO MANY MANY MANY CENTURIES, WHETHER IT'S CAPABLE OF LEARNING, AND IMMEDIATELY TRANSFORMING ITSELF INTO A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIMENSION.

IF WE ARE NOT CAPABLE OF THAT !

THE COMPUTER...

WHICH IS MUCH  MORE CAPABLE OF THIS

MORE RAPID

MORE ACCURATE

IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE ACTIVITIES OF THE BRAIN

SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PLEASE ! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING CASUAL, THIS IS VERY VERY SERIOUS. DESPERATELY SERIOUS.

THE COMPUTER CAN INVENT A  NEW RELIGION. IT CAN BE PROGRAMMED BY AN EXPERTS HINDU SCHOLAR, BY A CATHOLIC, BY THE PROTESTANTS, BY THE MUSLIMS AND IT WILL TURN OUT A MARVELOUS STRUCTURE OF A NEW RELIGION.

AND WE. IF WE ARE NOT AT ALL AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING ?  WE WILL FOLLOW THAT NEW PROGRAMMED STRUCTURE WHICH HAS BEEN PUT FORWARDS BY THE COMPUTER.

SEE THE SERIOUSNESS OF ALL THIS... PLEASE !

SO OUR CONSCIOUSNESS HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED, PROGRAMMED...WIRED..IF YOU'D LIKE TO PUT IT THAT WAY. TO THINK AS INDIVIDUALS. 

TO THINK AS SEPARATE ENTITIES, STRUGGLING, STRUGGLING, CONFLICT.

FROM THE MOMENT YOUR BORN UNTIL YOU DIE.

WE ARE PROGRAMMED TO THAT !

WE HAVE ACCEPTED THAT !

WE HAVE NEVER CHALLENGED 

WE HAVE NEVER ASK

IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE 

A LIFE 

TOTALLY 

ABSOLUTELY 

WITHOUT CONFLICT

WE'VE NEVER ASK IT

AND THEREFORE

WE WILL NEVER LEARNED ABOUT IT.

WE REPEAT

IT'S PART OF OUT EXISTENCE TO BE IN CONFLICT... NATURE IS IN CONFLICT, THAT IS OUR THOUGHT...  AND PROGRESS IS THROUGH CONFLICT

THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED,  FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS AND THE 

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD HAVE BEEN CHIMING THIS SAME INDIVIDUAL SALVATION AND WE ARE QUESTIONING VERY SERIOUSLY,  WHETHER THERE IS AN INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS. 

WHETHER YOU AS A HUMAN BEING HAVE AN SEPARATE CONSCIOUSNESS ? FROM THE REST OF MANKIND ?

YOU HAVE TO ANSWER THIS ! 

NOT JUST PLAY WITH IT.
