About The Substance, but make it AI | Is it actually possible to clone a better version of yourself?
Have you ever dreamt of living forever? You. But better, stronger, smarter. Once the stuff of science fiction, artificial intelligence experts now see it as possible. Visions of the apocalypse have haunted us through millennia. In the past, we turned to God for the promise of salvation and eternal life, but in the 21st century, we live in the digital realm and look to technology for answers. As we develop more powerful AI systems, are we creating a supreme AI being in our own likeness? What happens if the creation outsmarts the creator? This documentary explores the latest advancements in AI, robotics, and biotech as it questions the essence of being human. If our minds were to be replicated, meeting the cloned versions of ourselves could be a lifelong dream – or it could be deeply unsettling. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 – Intro ▷ 0:00:06 – The effect of technology on evolution ▷ 0:02:05 – Memories keeper ▷ 0:04:55 – Death is optional ▷ 0:06:17 – Transhumanism ▷ 0:08:35 – What are mind files ▷ 0:11:58 – Talking to a

The Kaaba, a stone square building in the sacred city of Mecca, is the holiest site in Islam, serving as the direction of prayer (qibla) for Muslims all around the world. However, Canadian historian Dan Gibson believes that Muslims have been praying in the wrong direction for the last fifteen hundred years. The Quran commands them to pray towards the "forbidden gathering place," and according to Gibson's interpretation, archaeological and historical evidence indicates that this place is not in Mecca, Saudi Arabia – but the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 – Intro ▷ 0:00:25 – A new era of research ▷ 0:02:31 – Dan Gibson ▷ 0:03:57 – Mecca ▷ 0:05:48 – Arabian history ▷ 0:11:12 – Descriptions in the Quran ▷ 0:12:50 – Early maps of Arabia ▷ 0:13:37 – Islamic records are myths ▷ 0:14:35 – Another location fits the description ▷ 0:15:53 – Representation of Gods and sacred places ▷ 0:17:57 – Masjid al-Haram, the Forbidden Gathering Place ▷ 0:20:55 – The original qibla: analysing surviving mosques ▷ 0:31:12 – Petra ▷

The major film The Iron Lady features a critically acclaimed performance by Meryl Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – The Iron Lady of the Western World. From her humble beginnings as a Grocer’s daughter from Grantham, Margaret Thatcher fought her way through the murky world of politics, the sexist prejudices of the Conservative Party elite and the scepticism of the British electorate to become the greatest British Prime Minister since Winston Churchill. Although Margaret Thatcher broke down the barriers and became a pathfinder for a new generation of women in politics, she was not averse to using her good looks and sexuality to help convince other leaders that hers was the right course of action.
