As I have mentioned, I did a number of interviews and captured quite a few video clips of the sessions at last week's Singularity Summit. I got two of the speakers, Christine Peterson and Eliezer Yudkowsky, in their entirety and will be posting their talks along with some video montages of the 15 interviews I did with attendees. Two of the of the attendee interviews were with old friends of The Speculist with whom we've spoken before: Michael Anissimov and Alex Lightman. These interviews follow the same basic set of questions that I developed for all the attendee interviews, but there's so much content there that I thought they could stand on their own.

So here, more or less in its entirety, is my chat with futurist and entrepreneur Alex Lightman. You might find Alex to be outspoken, perhaps even outrageous. But you certainly never have to worry that he's holding back on you. His views are unique and though-provoking.

Plus you gotta love a guy who, on the one hand, wants to start a religion but, on the other hand, has had it with all this "morality" talk. Now there's a combo you don't see every day!

UPDATE: The video is currently down while I make a quick correction. Alex's company is called Innofone, not Innophone.

UPDATE II: The video is back.
