Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.34,0:00:21.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I decided to leave\Nthe comfortable life I knew.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.42,0:00:26.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I left my corporate job in publishing\Nwithout another job lined up.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.26,0:00:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I decided to take a total leap of faith
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.30,0:00:38.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because even though everything in my life\Nseemed like it was fine,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.29,0:00:40.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I knew that something wasn't right,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.86,0:00:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I believed that\Nsomething more was possible.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.99,0:00:48.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, every great journey\Nneeds a mission;
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.79,0:00:52.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mine was to amplify\Nthe stories of purpose-driven leaders.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.89,0:00:55.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I began interviewing\Nincredible individuals
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.43,0:00:58.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and documenting their stories\Non my website, Anchor & Leap.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.83,0:01:01.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, a few months into my adventure,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.49,0:01:03.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I moved to San Francisco

Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.98,0:01:17.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it wasn't.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.32,0:01:20.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was actually following\Na carefully plotted theory,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.86,0:01:24.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's the theory\NI'm still following today
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.31,0:01:27.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's the theory\Nthat's now brought me here,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.20,0:01:28.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two years later.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.31,0:01:31.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This theory, however,\Nis not one I created.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.75,0:01:35.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was created by a brilliant\Nmythologist and writer,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.49,0:01:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's his theory of the monomyth,\Nor "the hero's journey."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.92,0:01:50.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Campbell studied the journeys\Nof archetypal heroes
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.17,0:01:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throughout famous myths:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.47,0:01:54.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Odysseus's homecoming from the Trojan War,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.78,0:02:01.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and bringing it back to humankind,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.96,0:02:03.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and many more.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.28,0:02:04.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.28,0:02:07.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he plotted out the parallel\Ntrials and tribulations
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.04,0:02:10.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into this theory of the hero's journey.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.15,0:02:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The hero's journey is what George Lucas\Napplied in the Star Wars Trilogy,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.26,0:02:17.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with Luke Skywalker as the hero,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.23,0:02:21.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's what Tolkien applied\Nin The Lord of the Rings Trilogy,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.25,0:02:23.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with Frodo Baggins as the hero,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.80,0:02:27.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in The Matrix, with Neo as "the one."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.45,0:02:33.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I've applied the hero's journey\Nto develop a new roadmap
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.40,0:02:37.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for how technology can evolve\Nto be like great heroes
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.89,0:02:43.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that technology can mirror our moral\Nand altruistic potential as humans.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.50,0:02:46.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the reason I've created this
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.39,0:02:51.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is because technology has a greater\Naltruistic potential to society.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.51,0:02:57.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today however, this potential\Nvery often goes unfulfilled.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.36,0:03:01.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But first, before we move\Ninto this road map,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.46,0:03:04.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let me give you some context.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.95,0:03:08.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A few months after I moved\Nto San Francisco,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.53,0:03:12.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my journey took an unexpected turn,\Nas many journeys often do,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.28,0:03:17.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I began working at a company\Ncalled Singularity University,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.14,0:03:19.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where our mission\Nis to educate and inspire leaders
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.68,0:03:24.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to apply exponential technologies to solve\Nsome of the world's biggest problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.32,0:03:27.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at Singularity University,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.15,0:03:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I still interview purpose-driven leaders,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.63,0:03:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only now, those working\Nspecifically in the field of technology.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.67,0:03:36.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as you can probably imagine,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.42,0:03:39.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their stories are incredibly\Nheroic and inspiring.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.12,0:03:42.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They actually inspired me so much
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.27,0:03:45.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I decided to dive even deeper\Ninto studying the hero's journey,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.94,0:03:47.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then I started looking for links
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.84,0:03:50.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,between the hero's journey and technology.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.68,0:03:55.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I discovered\Nreally began to blow my mind
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.37,0:03:59.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because people like to talk\Nabout the power of storytelling,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.81,0:04:03.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but did you know\Nthat the Star Trek Communicator
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.93,0:04:07.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inspired the design\Nof Motorola's first flip phone,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.72,0:04:13.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that Geordi La Forge\Nfrom Star Trek's Next Generation
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.60,0:04:15.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could detect human life through rubble,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.90,0:04:17.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and now, just a few years later,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.99,0:04:21.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have national efforts\Nlike the DARPA Robotics Challenge,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.71,0:04:24.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's to encourage\Nthe development of robots
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.20,0:04:27.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that do this exact thing\Nin disaster relief
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.15,0:04:29.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in search\Nand response scenarios?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.33,0:04:31.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so what I began to discover
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.93,0:04:37.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that stories inspire people\Nto build the future they want to see,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.64,0:04:43.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is a reason why we see\Nscience fiction become science fact.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.71,0:04:49.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But stories also hold\Nanother very interesting power;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.70,0:04:54.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they let us test outcomes\Nto unanswered questions of our time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.82,0:04:56.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with technology,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.35,0:05:00.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the question I'm most\Nconcerned with answering is this one:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.78,0:05:03.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do we build a future
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.38,0:05:08.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where technology is created for the sake\Nof benefiting humanity collectively
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.65,0:05:14.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than technology that's just created\Nfor the sake of technology alone?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.86,0:05:17.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As I studied the journeys\Nof these amazing heroes,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.42,0:05:22.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I realized many of them have the wisdom\Nto answer this question;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.25,0:05:23.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in fact, in the hero's journey,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.83,0:05:28.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are four steps through\Nthe development of all great heroes
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.14,0:05:30.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can apply as a test
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.13,0:05:33.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to encourage technology\Nto develop like heroes
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.23,0:05:35.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to collectively benefit us all.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.93,0:05:38.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now I'm going to walk us\Nthrough these four steps
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.56,0:05:42.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to show how we can pave the way\Nfor a new future for technology.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.23,0:05:46.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The test begins with the first step,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.24,0:05:49.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is that the hero\Nrefuses the status quo
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.34,0:05:51.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and undertakes a hero task.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.15,0:05:55.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So a hero task is a quest\Nfor something divine;
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.24,0:05:57.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's something beyond the status quo.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.39,0:06:02.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These tasks are grandiose\Nand seem completely unattainable,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.70,0:06:07.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like discovering the meaning of life\Nor attaining complete knowledge.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.46,0:06:11.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll give you an example\Nfrom The Fellowship of the Ring.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.66,0:06:21.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and use it to conquer Middle-earth.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.28,0:06:24.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If Frodo stays in the comfort\Nof his home in the Shire,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.63,0:06:29.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so instead, Frodo\Nleaves the life he knows,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.35,0:06:32.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he embarks on his quest.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.99,0:06:41.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today, the hero task\Nis a type of moral responsibility;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.73,0:06:46.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a desire to take on something\Nthat could improve the lives of many.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.36,0:06:50.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what's amazing is that\Nthere are many emerging technologies
