Prometheus | Young Peter Weyland TED Talk | ALIEN ANTHOLOGY
/ alienanthology
2023 seemed so futuristic back en 2012...but here we are....and we are no even close of Weyland's accomplishments..
well, we have chatgpt
Apple’s new Vision Pro that released at the beginning of 2024 is a small step in that direction. Tech has a limit right now, but think about how far we’ve come from the first iPhone in 2007, to the the top of the line iPhones and Androids we have today and so on.
Language models are few shot learners
Utopianists like Weyland never seem to factor greed and stupidity into their visions.
On the one end of the spectrum: genetic engineering, cybernetics, global telecommunication.
On the other end, sentient life forms that can be technically classified as homo sapiens believing the world is flat, that women are inferior because of a book, and being offended that I referred to them as "Homo".
One of these has to go.
It's not canceling a culture.
It's curing a disease.
And ending once for all the idea that a man's ignorance is as valid as another man's intelligence.
And that work is only recognizable in paper that folds or bits of metal that jingle.
IDK! Perhaps our current direction would be Skynet.
Wish I saw more of Guy Pearce as Peter Weyland, such a marvelous actor
Great actor.... horribly forced scene! It feels like someone's impression of what an apple conference was like but wasnt invited and mixed it with the opening of angels and demons... and still thinks its cool :S
@@ChrisGWGreen when bezos came back from space, the first thing he talked about wasn’t about pushing mankind in a effort to help the spinning globe he saw before him. It was about building factory’s in space to help with production. I’d say that this “forced scene” isn’t that far away at all.
Yep, real cool…
Brilliantly casted as Peter Weyland
@@arandall3912 Bezos seems like a greedy MOFO by saying that. However, greed is what motivated Christopher Columbus. He was motivated by his own personal greed of finding a westward passage into China and India, at the time the Ottomans had the monopoly of trade. Building factories in space is a step, there are asteroids that are mineral rich, and the only way of finding them is exploration.
"We are now three months into the Year of Our Lord, 2023..."
Yes, here we are.
The singularity is just around the corner.
Such an amazing speech Peter gave today. Really inspiring.
Too bad he isn't real otherwise I probably wouldnt even be on this planet right now
@@ayinfrazier3682 the laws made to stop us
Thank you for your very clever reply which no one else will probably understand. I salute you
@@stuartfury3390 It's not clever it's simple and if you think people will not get it actually means it took a moment for YOU to comprehend it. Fictional TED Talk was made 3 months into the year of our Lord this year 2023
Yes brilliant 👏👏👏👏
If all TED talks would be like this I would watch them all time.
The extended version is incredible...
That takes place now in real life but the film was in 2012 and is set in the future
Amazing scene. It's a crying shame they didn't include this in the movie; it would have added so much.
would have been a better intro then the one we got
Quite possibly the best Ted Talk of all time
Extraordinary!!!! Love how Guy Pierce portrayed Weyland! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Best ted talk ever. I would vote for him if he ran for president. I would probably let him sex my wife too. Weyland and shaw were wasted and cut short what a potential drop if you ask me.
Also so many perople assume the engineers as a collective decided to create humanity but as we have seen from david's solo antics maybe the engineer that created the humans decided to go solo and used the black goo to create life whereas the rest of his kind only wanted to use it as a weapon. Hence why they are so intent at wiping out humans becuae we were an unautorised creation that threatens their galactic dominance. It also explains why the engineer used his own body as the seed because he was porbably due for a death sentence anyway for his actions.
This is underrated and we need more Guy Pearce to do a Weyland Movie or television series. The company had decades worth of knowledge on the xenomorphs according to the comics. Weyland knew a lot.
2023 is nearing and we have already achieved drones. I hope to see them being used like this for future TED Talks.
He's playing the role of Antichrist
It's 2023 and we've got ChatGPT4, what's next is anyones guess.
@@jemzstones3045 Not only that, Ai in general is running rampant and evolving at an exponential rate. We also have autonomous cars, electric cars and flying cars.
Drones is old news mate
I need an Alien: Covenant sequel with a Shaw flashback, please, Fox/Disney!
Completely!!!!
In route
well we got the sequel, but i'm afraid we didn't get the flashback
Fucking A right
Loved his speech this year. I had a great seat in the audience.
I remember when Guy starred in “The Time Machine” back in 2002. He is an awesome actor…..
Not a particularly good remake 😳
First time I saw him was in "L.A. Confidential."
He believes gods are real and he belives he deserves his place among them, from his point of view he and his company gave humanity many gifts and he compares himself to gods for that.
The fact that this was recorded years ago to be released today in 2023
it wasnt released in 2023?
Love Prometheus! Love Guy Pearce ,such a good actor!
Always wondered what a Peter Weyland rise to power movie would be like. I like Aliens but the horror angle becomes limited over time, which is why I like Prometheus for what it was trying to do as a more science adventure movie. But this Ted Talk makes me want a Gordon Gekko-esk type off shoot of a businessman gone scientist with a god complex. You could even cross over some Bladerunner elements as his competition, but it could be an interesting spinoff prequel.
In 2 years we shall have a Peter Weyland on television talking about creating humanoid cybernetics and advanced space exploration.
Maybe Elon Musk will do this. Believe in Future
Elon musk just announced Tesla robot
no. cyber-netics... trick meaning that word. As for sci-fantasy 'space exploration' .. such will always be so.
@@theuksubs elon is a nwo agent...actor.
It's now 2024 and it didn't happen :(
Sensational actor. Guy Pearce is top notch.
He used to be in Neighbors.
Damn our 2023 is going to be fairly far behind
AI: « Allow me to introduce myself »
It's 2024, and we are actually almost there. Our Ai now talks like Walter.
Guy is one of the most underrated/ utilised actors, he leaves most of them for dead..
This really is a masterclass in voice modulation and tension-building pauses.
one more year, waiting for this ted talk
keep waiting.
Before he walks out, he quotes Nietzsche, "I am a law only for my kind, I am no law for all."
thanks.
All he wanted was immortality.
Unfortunately he died in the process
Yup he made a bad desition. He asked a genetically modified solider existential questions without knowing that they were in that desolated planet to investigate and maybe destroy humanity xD
Bring me some tea David.
Exactly why he had to be destroyed. The Annunaki perfectly understand that immortality is a gift from the creator for a life of service. Not a grand prize to be fought over by the richest and most intellectual. Weyland is everything the Annuanki hate about humanity, all ego without an ounce of regard for their creator. Many humans arent even aware of the gift of eternal life due to their lack of understanding and faith. They can look at a car or house and easily discern that someone made it however when looking at themselves they fail to see the divine beauty and genius in their own bodies and minds. Just a couple reasons why the Annunaki are so utterly disgusted by humanity. The name of the ship in Prometheus was LV223. Go look up Leviticus 22 verse 3 and you should see the correlation. The Annunaki are a holy race of Aliens, in my opinion.
@@nostarswithoutdarknessFun fact: the engineers race is called 'Malak'kak' it is almost similar to angel/messenger in hebrew. I hope the next movie 'Aliens: Paradise' will explore more on the "holy" symbolisms because Covenant was utterly disappointing. It has so much potential.
Guy Pierce is incredible in this. I would have preferred Prometheus was just about a Young Peter Weyland venturing out to colonize his first planet....then he finds an egg chamber....maybe some Engineer Tech......and then the Damon Lindeloff twist.... he finds the crashed remains of the Prometheus???? Oh MY GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!
Weyland wouldn't go himself.
@@_lithp he did in the movie
@@aguy2162 No. In Prometheus, he joined the first crew to encounter alien life, not the first crew to colonize a planet.
@@_lithp good point. But if he would do one, it would not be unreasonable to assume he did the other
That was obviously an old weyland android
3:37 This video is NOW. March 2023
Hello from the year of our lord 2024
Guy Pearce always gives it a hundred percent
Alien marathon this wknd. I’m currently watching Prometheus
T.E. Lawrence, eponymously of Arabia, but very much an Englishman, favored pinching a burning match between his fingers to put it out. When asked by his colleague, William Potter, to reveal his trick -- how is it he so effectively extinguished the flame without hurting himself whatsoever -- Lawrence just smiled and said, "The trick, Potter, is not minding it hurts."
The fire that danced at the end of that match was a gift from the Titan, Prometheus, a gift that he stole from the gods, who were terrified of what we might do with it were it to fall into our hairy little paws.
When Prometheus was caught and brought to justice for his theft, the gods, well, you might say they overreacted a little. The poor man was tied to a rock as an eagle ripped through his belly and ate his liver over and over, day after day, ad infinitum. All because he gave us fire, our first true piece of technology. Fire.
Such a very long time ago. Which begs the question: What have we done with?
100,000, BC: Stone tools.
4,000, BC: The wheel.
800, BC: Sundial.
9th century, AD: Gunpowder. Bit of a game-changer, that one.
1441: The printing press -- only slightly less impactful.
19th century: Steam engine. Railway. Eureka! The light bulb!!
20th century: The automobile, television, nuclear weapons, spacecrafts, Internet.
21st century: Biotech, nanotech, fusion and fission, and M-theory -- and that was just the first decade.
We are now three months into the year of our Lord, 2023. At this moment in our civilization, we are on the verge of terraforming planets undiscovered just a decade ago. We have identified the genetic chain of events behind 98% of cancers -- a chain we have broken, effectively curing them. We can create cybernetic individuals who, in just a few short years, will be completely indistinguishable from us.
Which leads to an obvious conclusion: We are the gods now.
I haven't been struck down. I take that to mean I'm right.
We wield incredible power -- the power to transform, to destroy and to create again. The question, of course, before us is, "What the hell are we supposed to do with this power?" Or, more importantly, one should ask, "What are we allowed to do with this power?
The answer to that, my friends, is nothing. Rules, restrictions, laws, ethical guidelines -- all but forbidding us from moving forwards. Well, where were the ethics during the Arabian conflicts? Why are rules preventing us from feeding impoverished cultures? How is there a law which states, "If we build a man from wires and metal -- a man who will never grow old, a man who will never feel the heat of a star or the cold of the moon -- how is the creation of such an incredible individual considered unnatural?"
The answer to all these questions is simple: These rules exist because the people who created them were afraid of what would happen if they didn't.
Well I am not afraid!
For those of you who know me, you will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited. You know that I will settle for nothing short of greatness, or I will die trying.
For those of you who do not yet know me, allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Peter Weyland.
And if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to change the world.
I just want to say here from 2020, I look forward to 2023 and the horrors that will burst forth.
It's not like it will be nice to witness, if you have watched the movie alien covenant, it's a programming of what is coming in a short yrs. Humanity is fucked!
hehe burst forth i like what you did there x)
@@albertayunda5521 sorta.
So Lovely to see His career progress. And I remember Him back in the late 80's/90's in Neighbours. A Show I hated.
the rite of passage for all big Australian actors
We are now 3 month into the year of our lord, 2023.
2023 boys, here we go! Love these little remembrances. Like when the Blade Runner movie took place in LA 2019 and Back to the Future took place January 22nd, 2023.
I am a Law only for my kind, I am not a law for all ! - Peter Wayland 2023 quoting the scientific society and the Nieztche. The only Ted talk from a future that is truely ahead of our lords time yet so near.
He's playing the role of Antichrist 2023
so what is what he said? "I am a Law only for my kind, i am not a law for all!" ? And you state he was quoting the scientific society? which one? and Nietzsche? I am leaving you this message at approximately 3:21pm 2022-12-30 Toronto Canada time... to me they used the 'year of our Lord' with the tie in to 'gods' and what the serpent/Devil in the garden the father of lies told Eve about how they would be as gods if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
It's bizarre how much of these two movies got squirreled away in the corners of the internet. I wonder if they would have done better with audiences if more of this worldbuilding / character building material had been in the movies instead of hidden on UA-cam
ALIEN Covenant2/Prometheus 3 please! I need it in my life!
Agreed same here, may the gods (the studios) be kind enough to oblige - Yours Ridley..
ahh yes covenant quite anemic without the engineers
Awesome!!!
Watching this in 2023 makes me curious at which point of history we have stopped our rapid progress
Women rights
@@voiceofreason1829 Care to elaborate?
Late Stage Capitalism, greed prevents cures from being made, as keeping people unhealthy is more profitable. Also, modern science has become less about finding the truth as it is about manipulating data to support agendas.
I have NO FUUuuuUuuUuuuUuCking idea why they removed this scene from the main film.
It’s almost imperative they kept this sequence.
Good movie all the same and so was Prometheus .
which main film?
@@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217
Prometheus (?) I think it was.
@@jammin1881 thanks. so is it for certain they removed it or was this video like a bait to get you to watch Prometheus or something?
@@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217
I think it was included in the extras or DVD set somehow.
It wasn't in the version I saw at the cinema when it first released though.
@@jammin1881 thanks.
He should be Dr Doom
I second that.
well, it’s the year 2023 now. Let’s see how much what Weyland said we’ve achieved, comes to light ;)
Why they never used this as an intro to Prometheus is beyond me. Perfectly encapsulates the themes of the film and would have been contrasted nicely with views of the protagonist
well it's 2023. He really inspired us lol
"All this. All these wonders of arts, design, human ingenuity, all utterly meaningless in the face of the only question that matters. Where do we come from?"
we are now in the third month of the year 2023
and still we are at war with each other
on the brink of exhausting our resources
a viral outbreak that pushed the civilization back decades
the laws which prevent the growth
Why they did not included this in Prometheus??
WHERE ALIEN COVENANT 2 FOX 🦊 ?????!!!!!
Sadly, rumor has it, that now that Disney owns FOX, Disney says they will never make the final movie. I really hate Disney.
@@winkingmoose1080 I really hope that's not the case
Xenomorph XX121 Fox probably wouldn’t have made it either. Both Prometheus and Covenant were financial disappointments.
Prometheus did well actually (B.O. of $403 mil against a budget of $125 mil) but Covenant was shaky though not a loss (B.O of $241 mil against a budget of $111 mil)
Disney nor FOX has ruled out a sequel.
When I first watched Prometheus, I didn't understand why a young actor was aged using makeup effects. Why not go straight to an old actor? After seeing this TED talk on the Bluray, I knew why.
It definitely should have been included at the beginning of the film.
What is that you know why now?
@@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217 Why they used a young actor playing the old Mr. Weyland.
@@venominjected oh so you mean now you comprehend the reason why they made him look older in Prometheus is because in this connected part, he's younger, ok, thanks for the clarification.
On point even in 2023
Interestingly enough, Peter Weyland speaks of the Prometheus mythology: Isn't the Alien franchise, a new form of "mythos"?
The world is ending in this decade
@@albertayunda5521 If Jesus wills.

DISNEY IS GONNA PAY THIS FOR NOT MAKING THE FINAL MOVIE, RIGHT GUYS
The writers had high hopes for humanity 3 months into 2023. By that time, we will barely have flying cars.
where did it show 3 months into 2023?

2023!!! We’re here!! Artificial humans here we go.
aw dangit, I missed last year's Ted Talk.
Some of his best work.
Turn on the subtitles, please.
Thank you Weyland for your talk. Our next TEDx speaker to the stage is Will Stephen on How to sound smart in your TEDx Talk.
Oh shit its 2023
Peters Uncanny resemblance to Elon Musk 😅
Guy Pearce is such a brilliant actor
WHATS THE BETTING IN FUTURE YEARS THAT PEOPLE WILL SEE THE REAL WEYLAND ON A TED TALK?
Why in the world wasnt this the intro for the movie?
I fucking love this scene! Soooo good!
¡Amo esta escena! Ojalá la película se hubiera enfocado en los Ingenieros.
This speech is one great dynamite. Dynamite that later led to the famous Nobel Prize. The past century has been a warm-up that, like a speeding steam engine, once struck people two centuries ago. The fact that the speech echoes the cult form of Ted ex talks makes it remarkable. Regards, curious world.
Oh look they already made a movie about Elon Musk lol
The Simpsons did an episode of him back in the 90s. they didn’t use his real name of course, they called him hank Scorpio.
@@brokeneyes6615 Lol.
@@brokeneyes6615 Scoripio eh? so.. the scorpion hitches a ride on a frog's back to get across the river and the scorpion stings him to death and the frog replies 'why did you do that after i carried you over the river?' .. scorpion says 'im a scorpion, what did you expect?'
If COVID hadn't happened, we could have been watching 6 minute TED talks in 10,000 people crowds as early as last year
huh missed that talk last year
what's the music at 0:27?
Time will tell. We are acting gods, playing with fire.
Guy Pearce is the perfect casting choice
sadly it is not full version
what does the audience member shout at the end?
We need more Guy Pearce as Weylend, and why didn'y you put this in the movie?!
Why were these shorts so much better than the movie
He said they had effectively cured cancer by this point but what about all those colonist's from Alien Romulus who were dying of cancer?
Memento with the same actor Guy Pearce confirmed, do you want me to write on a piece of paper everything I think ? so funny
What a speech
We need some more information on the Weyland family, Charles Weyland, Peter Weyland, and the history of Weyland-Yutani Corporation as a whole!!! Perhaps in AVP3?
isnt there a bishop weyland as well ?
@@R3dTr0 Yeah, there are many characters with the name "Bishop" in the Weyland family. There's Charles Bishop Weyland, Peter Weyland's undisclosed middle name is probably also Bishop, then there's Michael Bishop Weyland, and Karl Bishop Weyland.
@@Xenosaurian isn't Vickers technically a Weyland as well ?
What's the story behind her ? It seems as if she was kept in the dark like some unwanted bastard child 🧐🤔
@@R3dTr0 Yep, assuming she is part of the bloodline and not just an android as was hinted at. She's definitely a mysterious one. But yeah, she's a Weyland.
@@Xenosaurian Bishop it would seem is the tie in with the references to God, Jesus, 'gods', 'year of our Lord'.. etc.
The trick, dear audience, isn't that Weyland (whom you might obviously expect and be inclined to dislike) is wrong and blind to that through his own hubris; it's that he's right but hasn't grasped the ramifications of that fully yet.
Gods wanted to make sure humanity didn't get its hands on fire, afraid of what might become of that. We are the gods now. What is "fire"? What is "humanity"?
Does anyone know what he says at 0:16 ?
It's a Nieztche quote, "I am a law only for my kind. I am not a law for all." Basically, Weyland sees himself as the Ubermensch, the pinnacle of humanity.
@@danboud8135 Thank you very much!
@@danboud8135 Thanks a ton, your my man.. finally somebody in the comments section who actually listens!
@@evm6177 I listen... I like deep philosophical statements..it rouses my soul... all I heard he said was the words " law n kind ".. thanks for that nietsze quote..
@@danboud8135 thanks.
How cool would it have been if we'd seen this at the beginning of the film, instead of a scene of a buff alien disintegrating into a waterfall? Imagine the shock of seeing the Engineers for the first time, or seeing old man Weyland show up when we'd seen him young?? Instead in the theater we were like "Why's Guy Pearce in old man make-up?"
This short is titled “young Peter”. Guy is about 50 here. When you are 20, 50 seems ancient. Just remember, when you are 90, you will look back at your middle age years and realize how young you were.
I'm confused... which version of guy pearce is more charming... this one or the older version of him in Prometheus
2023 seemed so futuristic in 2012 we barely progressed technologically
nice
he didn't say the part with "if you will indulge me I'd like to change the world" you had one job
