You and I, we're in this together. We are absolutely not what we have been told in the past. We're not what we have been told by science and society and culture and friends and family, even well-meaning uh typically because we're only beginning to understand what it means to be human. And I'm going to say this to you right now. You are probably more than you have even dared to allow yourself to imagine yourself to be. There's something inside of us that wants to hold back. There's something inside of us that says we're not worthy of the greatness that is available to us.
Well, this book, Pure Human, I wrote this very specifically for this time in the history. This book is a celebration. It is a celebration of our humanness in a time when our humanness is being denigrated publicly. In our public schools, young people are being taught that we humans are a flawed species, f l a w e d, flawed. That we are flawed by our very existence. Let me just give you an example. Some of the flaws that they talk about is human emotion. They believe that human emotion, it's being taught that emotion is a flaw because it clouds our ability to think logically and to make make logical decisions. That's just one of the flaws. Well, empathy, sympathy, compassion are also being seen in some circles as a human flaw. I don't know about you, those are some of the things that I cherish most about our species.
There's a movement right now to change this world and you're seeing the consequences of that movement in your everyday life. You're seeing it in politics, you're seeing it in economics, you're seeing it in finance, you're seeing it in science, society, technology. But nobody's really putting it together for you. I want to have a little conversation here in this this first hour, and I'm going to tell you right now, I've lost friends having this conversation. Because it it is covering some topics that are simply not comfortable. But if you don't cover these topics, the changes in the world don't make sense.
People come to me all the time and they say, "Greg, what in the world is going on, man? Isn't it Isn't it interesting that all these changes in the world are happening simultaneously? That they're all happening spontaneously in the world. Whether we're talking about social change or climate change or political change or economic change or you know, all the things that we're seeing." Here's what you're not being told. It's not random. It's not spontaneous. There's a process. There's a structure. You and I are in the process right now, but nobody tells us. And the only way out of the process is to go through the process. And my goal is to to help us to navigate so that we come through this process in a healthy way that's good for us, good for our families, good for our friends, come in with a soft landing on the other side of this process.
In the next 5 years, between now and 2030, you are going to be asked, you are going to be indoctrinated, you're going to be uh coerced, you may be mandated in some cases to make decisions not just about your world, but about your body. That's what makes this so very different. You're going to see this in the the program today. For the first time in human history, we have the ability not only to change the world around us. We've always had that ability. You know, we we began burning trees and coal and now fossil fuels for energy. That changes the world around us. And we've done some good things. Planted lots of trees and and done things to actually care for the environment. That's all in the world around us. For the first time in 5,000 years of recorded human history we have the ability not just to change the world around us, but to change the world within us. And we're being asked to do just that in the next 5 years. The reimagining of the world is only possible when we change our biology.
My goal today and my goal in this book is to give you reasons to think differently about your body, to think differently about yourself. To at the very least, I'm hoping that you leave this program today with a deeper appreciation for what it means to be human. And I'm going to take it even a step further. I'm hoping that we all walk away with a deeper sense of pride. Because I am proud to be a human. And the experts are telling us, the best minds of our time are telling us on the trajectory that we are on right now, if we do not change our thinking and the technology in the world, that we very probably are the last generation of pure humans that this world will ever know. That's where the title of the book comes from. They say by the year 2030, when you talk to someone at the market, when you talk to someone on the street, you're going to be talking to a hybrid of biology and some form of technology. Maybe for some people more, maybe for some people less. Whether we're talking about chemicals in the blood, computer chips in the brain, RFID chips under the skin, whatever it is, we'll be talking to some hybrid.
And here's the thing. Once we embark on that path and we begin to give our humanness away, we cannot go back. It's not like a little dial where you can say, "Hey, let's let's try this for a year. If it doesn't work, we'll go back to the way we used to be." You can't do that. And here's the reason. The human body is so sophisticated that when we embrace a new technology into our bodies, our bodies, our DNA, our cells, our neurons, they morph and they adapt to that new technology. They become different. There's nothing to go back to because your body has now adapted to the new technology that you're being invited to place into your body.
I'm going to give you the reasons why this I, in my opinion, is not a good It's not a healthy thing, per se, in mass for everyone. But, I'm also going to show you the new science, the new discoveries that that show you in many cases our natural biology meets and it even exceeds the capabilities of the technology. And that That's a mind-blower. Young people are in my programs all the time. They've been taught to worship computer chips and to worship AI. AI is fast. Computer chips are fast. They're efficient, no doubt. And I like technology outside my body. When you begin to see what the studies are showing about human neurons, human biology, human systems, what you begin to see is we not only meet, we exceed many of those potentials because we are literally a highly advanced technologically sophisticated technology in ourselves. But, we're a soft technology, not a hard technology, not like a a computer chip. We're soft technology. Cell membranes, neurons, DNA. So, this is where we're going to go with this. The better you know yourself, the less you're going to fear your own power. The easier it is to embrace that power in your life.
So, there's a context. And I, you know, often so often we have a spiritually oriented program, it's isolated. So, so you learn about the spirituality, but doesn't connect to the world out there. So, you learn all these cool things, meditations and affirmations and all that. Then you go out into the world and you go, "Whoa. What does what I learned have to do with the world out there?" I'm going to share with you a context. I don't want to dwell on it, but I want you to know there is a context, there is a structure. Let's talk about this. I think you all know we're living in a time of extremes. Social extremes, political extremes, economic extremes, uh refugee extremes in the world, climate extremes, religious extremes, emotional extremes. We're We're living in this world of extremes, and every one of them is important. And I want to be clear about that. I I'm not saying they aren't important, but I am saying this. In many cases, we have allowed the extremes of the world around us and the media that trumps up these extremes, we've allowed those extremes to become diversions in our lives. Diversions from something much, much deeper that is happening. And it's playing out in your life and your world, my life and my world. And once we recognize what this is, then the pieces begin to fall into place. And then it's much easier to make sense out of the chaos in the world. And that's where I'm I'm going to go with this. Something is missing in our story.
