Well, i don't know who she would have been talking to.

I know how he seems and I know how he's been but at the end of the day when I think of who I really want to be with it's him.

Exactly. Pelant is using my research against you and Dr. Brennan. And the lesson that he's taken from that is that Dr. Brennan changes her mind about people.

Well, maybe because you haven't talked to anybody for nine years besides your stupid dog.

We know them as the "make love, not war" apes since they have frequent, promiscuous and bisexual sex to manage conflict and solve social issues.

(Laughter) And then I imagined them looking at a specific picture of me with a beautiful young woman, and asking, "Who on earth is that with Dad?"

Imagine if you had access to data that allowed you to rank on a scale of overall happiness which people in your life made you the happiest, or what activities brought you joy.

The explore/exploit trade-off shows up any time you have to choose between trying something new and going with something that you already know is pretty good, whether it's listening to music or trying to decide who you're going to spend time with.

So here's the prescription: identify where, when and to whom you are likely to offer your distraction.

Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you.

But it's a special kind of social norm, because it's a social norm that wants to tell us who we can relate to and who we shouldn't relate to.

The next moment, you see the money in my hands, counting, whereas I have not come into contact with anybody.

The freedom to chose where to live, what to do, what to buy, what to sell, from whom, to whom, when and how.

That allows sort of a warrantless wiretapping, mass surveillance of the entire country's phone records, things like that -- who you're talking to, when you're talking to them, where you traveled.

Now, there are many issues you've got to address if you want to tackle this problem: whether to do good through your charity or your career or your political engagement, what programs to focus on, who to work with.

And one of the white foremen stepped forward and said, "You are being paid twice the wages of any other workers in this industry in this region and this is how we do business.

We are within years of a profound moment in our history, when effectively every single human being on the planet is going to be part of a man-made system for the first time, able to touch anyone else -- touch them for good, touch them for ill.

But when it comes to the really big stuff, like what's our career path going to be or who should we marry, why should we assume that our intuitions are better calibrated for these than slow, proper analysis?

And so we live in an era that lacks the clarity of the past in conflict, in who we're fighting, in the motivations behind attacks, in the tools and techniques used, and how quickly they evolve.

And we make decisions about where to live, who to marry and even who our friends are going to be, based on what we already believe.

And what we try to do, in our own way, is to make sense of how each of us -- each of you -- is, in certain respects, like all other people, like some other people and like no other person.

Because it's only the third replicator that's going to reach out -- sending information, sending probes, getting out there, and communicating with anywhere else.

In the case of missing a letter from the IRS, I could call a friend who is a lawyer or ask, say, a professor of law what they would recommend, who I should talk to, how had people handled this in the past.

And now customs and border patrol is stopping people as they come into the country and demanding our social networking passwords which will allow them to see who our friends are, what we say and even to impersonate us online.

There is so much that is possible in Lagos and so much that isn't, and very often the difference between possibility and impossibility is simply who you are, and if you're lucky enough, who you're connected to.

So, would you like to have an extra 100, 000 dollars when you're 65 is a question that's very different than, imagine who you'll be when you're 65: will you be living, what will you look like, how much hair will you have, who will you be living with.

And then I spent months traveling all over, talking with anyone who would listen about the science of women's sexual well-being.

The magic of public-key cryptography is that it allows us to connect securely with anyone in the world, whether we've exchanged data before or not, and to do it so fast that you and I don't even realize it's happening.

If you're a food company, for example, it's actually much more interesting to you to know where people are eating, who they are eating with, are they very nutritionally oriented.

And in fact they result in a wonderful differentiation in humankind, in the way that, in fact, no two of us are quite alike.

From 40 to 50, grown easy and sly, I wined them and dined them, like pigs in a sty.

[Question 3: What are the risks that we need people to think about?] It's not just whose hand you shake, it's whose hand that person goes on to shake.

I remember whenever I'd go to my grandmother's house, she would hide all the photo albums because she was afraid of me asking, "Well, who is that in that picture?"
