>> from the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's the Cube covering Cooper inspired 2019. Brought to You by Cooper. >> Welcome to the cue from Cooper inspired 19 at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. I'm Lisa Martin, and I'm very pleased and honored to be joined by Dr Deepak Chopra, world renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. Doctor Chopper. What a pleasure to have you on a huge It's wonderful to be with. So here we are Ready Technology conference. I know you talk a lot of different types of guns, and if we look at technology these days, we can't get up without it, right? It's our alarm clock in the morning. We're listening to podcasts or radio dot Thomas. We're getting ready for work. It's an essential component of our allies, but also something that if you look on the other side, it's bombarding us constantly with opportunities to talk to this person or to buy this or that as an expert in the human brain and consciousness were some of the observations that you've seen where way can really tie together technology to help us be more mindful. >> My first world, you have to realize that technology is our creation in my opinion technologies, actually an aspect of human evolution it's now happening is part of a revolution. It's also an aspect of cultural evolution. So when you say we're constantly bombarded by it, that implies a certain element of victimization by our own creation. So we don't need to do that. You know, technologies neutral. You can hack with it. You can mess up in election with it, you can cause destruction with it. You can increase inflammation in the body with it by sending somebody an emoticon that is upsetting to them. Or you can use technology to heal yourself on. Ultimately heal the ecosystem and the world. So, personally, I am a big fan of technology. If you don't relate to technology, you will become irrelevant. That's a Darwinian principle. Either you adapt and use it or they're not. >> That's a really interesting way of putting it. You're right. If you're not using it and adopting it and being receptive to the positive changes that it can bring in our lives, you will be irrelevant. What are some of your recommendations for people everyday people to be able to use it for just getting more center rather than protect my email. I have attacks. I have to respond to my >> so my push the activity Every days I have technology time, morning and afternoon. Have relationship game. Have meditation time, healthy eating time have playtime, recreation time have slipped out. So whenever you're doing something, you do it with full awareness. Whether it's technology speaking to another person, the most important activity in your life is what you're doing. Right now. The most important person in your life is the one in front of you Right now. Most of one thing to do with technologies to be fully engaged only when you're doing not, otherwise, schedule it. >> I love that. I love that you have all of these great times. A scheduled part of mutes wondered how much of this is psychological about actually controlling yourself? That's sort of common sense, but it's also in this day and age one of the hardest things to do here we are at a conference about business Spend management, where Cooper is talking to their businesses and every industry about you need to have control over your budget over your spend. It's sort of the same thing with technology. How do we actually use it to establish those schedules established that control that allows to take advantage of it also allows us to sit back, relax and enjoy the Now, >> you know, I don't like the word control, obviously. Okay, My word for that is be aware. So be aware of yourself and be aware of the fact that everything that's happening to you in the world is reflection of yourself. So if you find the world insane that question your sanity if you find the world melodramatic, hysterical question, your aspect of melodrama and his Syria, if you find the world centre, it's because your center and so the Boston born thing is self awareness, period >> like that and you're right. That's a >> much more you for Mr Ward, then control awareness. It's It's a more peaceful, I think, More action taking word. So I listened. T you started a podcast series this year. Infinite potential. So I know that you're not only using technology to continue reaching the folks who've been following you for many years, but now a new audience getting to tell stories in a different way. And I heard a two part podcast years where you were talking about a I and so one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about is this deep. So how are you leveraging a I to share your daily reflections, reach a bigger audience and help us become more aware? >> So my personal interest all my life as you mentioned, is well being personal transformation. I'm using deep learning, artificial intelligence, augmented immersive experiences, virtual reality, biological feedback, neuro plasticity, epi, genetics, all as a means for well being and personal transformation. So the future well being is very precise. It's very personalized because no two people react to the same similares, whether it's a diet or a compliment or in a front in the same way artificial intelligence can. If you want, help me know everything about you. Everything, how your mind works, how your emotions work, how your body works and the relationship with that. So one of the things I'm examining right now is 2,000,000 jeans in our body which are not human, which microbial is called the microbe microbiome. It's actually as significant as human genes in determining your state of well being by analyzing the microbiome through artificial intelligence and deep learning. You can killer well being interventions very personally and very predictably and, of course, requiring your participation. You become your own healer of co healer in the sense artificial intelligence for deep leading off gene expression. Not just jeans. Because genes are not now owns their verbs. What are they doing? What are they up to right now? The genes that are responsible for healing active are the genes that are responsible for inflammation or disease Inactive. What most of your audience may not know is that only 5% of genetic mutations that give rise to disease fully penetrate, which means only 5%. Which means the guarantee. The disease. If you have ah Braca gene for breast cancer, you're going to get breast cancer for that. Also, new technologies like Christmas you'll be able to read the barcode of a gene, cut the hunt footed or deleting harmful Julin Jean insert the healthy, and so that will solve that problem. And it's happening very soon. It's in the works, but 95% of illness, even with the genetic mutations that predispose you to a less, are not predictable dependent on your lifestyle. Now it was in the past. You couldn't measure that. Today you can. You can measure sleep. You can measure dream, sleep deep sleep. You can measure exercise. You can measure heart rate variability. You can measure gene expression and you can digitize the whole thing. So with that, we have an amazing new frontier in medicine. The three dimensional model of pharmaceuticals has very limited application, only an acute illness. The future off treatment even will be through technology. So in five years you go to a doctor's office. They might give you a V R session instead of writing a prescription. >> Well, in a lot of advanced technologies are being utilized now in medicine, seeing a doctor virtually through computer, exactly telemedicine being able to treat more people faster. But it's like were in >> the first minute of on there if I >> were in the in the puberty. Yeah, you know, puberty is a time of challenge, and >> true and and >> so were the adolescence of our use of technology is getting richer. >> So when we look at all of the applications for the emerging technologies that you mentioned it so much good that can happen, we can become so much more aware of our own and take don't take control. I know you don't like that word, but take ownership, Influence, Influence Yes, >> if we look at some of the negative consequences of artificial intelligence machine learning. I was fascinated by your podcast with Christopher Whitely and how incredibly potent Cambridge Analytica waas in changing the course of American history. >> And it could ruin democracy. Yes, So we need to have surveillance. We need to have, you know, chords for keeping it secure. Yes. So even these problems, by the way, can be solved by technologies >> they can. It's sort of a catch >> 22 isn't it? >> Yes, but the same time here we are, freely as just consumers. And one of the things that Cooper is talking about is making a purchasing decision, making buying management in business. As easy as it is for us consumers, you know you need something, you go on amazon dot com and there is click to buy. It shows up so quickly you've forgotten what you ordered. It's like your birthday. So there are so many advantages. At the same time, it's creating a lot of challenges with >> this conversation is going to help solve those challenges because the more we have this conversation in social media, in education facilities, even an entertainment, we're writing a new story together. >> And that story is that narrative is so powerful. Yes, absolutely. You're right. It's everything but going back to your word awareness. That's what So money, whatever the causes, really needs to have us that consistent. It's not just saying it a few times here. They're on different media, right? It's not consistent, >> consistent messaging. And in my mind that messaging is one thing. It's been my mission statement for the last 35 years. Way have to accelerate collective consciousness in the direction of a more peaceful, just sustainable, healthier and joyful work. We have to eliminate war. We have to eliminate equal destruction. We have to eliminate to climate change way have the technology to do it. But now we need to harness the collective intelligence, the collective creativity and the collective impulse for love and compassion to technology, and we'll do it. >> I like that. You sound very definitive. We will do it first, though some of those naysayers who don't believe climate change Israel, for example, How do you advise whether it's a government organization for people to start looking at? Use the technology? Look at the data, start being receptive to the fact that changes happening. But we could harness the power of it for so many good application. >> It was in this year's. It's not without arguing with them on. Data helps, but scientific data never changed a broader revolution. You need data. You need science, which you need collective emotional connection. If you don't have that emotional and spiritual connection, if you don't see that the air is your breath. If you don't see that the rivers and waters in the ocean are your circulation. If you don't see that the earth is recycling is your body. If you don't see that what we call the environment is their extended body. You have a personal body and the university body, and if you're not emotionally tied to that, then scientific did does >> such an interesting concept. We just think, Well, the data's there, it shows this. Therefore, it is what you're saying. We have to have an emotional connection. >> Yes, data by itself, science were itself faxed by itself. Don't change the world. But when facts are tied to an emotional story, everything changes. >> So, wrapping things up here, I know that you are working to create a diversion of Dr Deepak Chopra that will live forever that will be able to continue to inspire. Many generations >> have been working on this. It's actually a stealth project, so I can't give details. But I've been working on this for more than a year now, and where we are is I will soon have a version of myself, my mind twin that will know everything that I've ever said. But we'll also through deep learning, continue to learn and we lived for generations are from gone or perhaps eternally and we'll communicate with the world even when I'm physically nor president and because it will be learning as we go along and incorporating everything into my take on what is reality. What is fundamental reality, what is consciousness? It will be much smarter than I am. >> So you think that a I and consciousness are really going to be able Thio merge together to continue to evolve rather than you think about a way I take stated from the past and the present to try to predict the future. But you see them as living some bio symbiotically, eh? I >> do. But we have to be careful here will never have subjective consciousness. Okay? Never. It may replicate insight and intuition and creativity and even vision, but it won't be able to fall in love. >> That's good. I was a little worried about that on >> it will not be able to address experientially what comes from, um, meditation and other reflective enquiries that transcend human thought. So, you know, science is a system of thought, just like mythology, religion, philosophy, theology, our systems of thought. No system of thought can actually access reality till you go to the source of thought, which is consciousness >> source thought. Dr. Deepak Chopra. What a pleasure to have you on the Cube. Thank you so much for joining me this morning. I know you've got to get off your keynote, but it was very much a pleasure. >> Thank you. My pleasure. >> Excellent for Dr Deepak Chopra.
