The Singularity Discussion Series

FBL7: Zoltan Istvan - Implants, Religion, Transhumanism and Death.


Listen Later

This week we sit down with journalist, author, and transhumanist, Zoltan Istvan.
Zoltan Istvan is most commonly known for his book the Transhumanist Wager, his 2016 Presidential Campaign—where he drove across the United States in a bus shaped like a coffin—and his many contributions and appearance with media outlets such as National Geographic, Vice, and Wired.
In this conversation, Zoltan and I explore the ideas of transhumanism and why he's so passionately dedicated to the cause. This takes us on a lovely tour through such light-hearted subjects as religion, death, and technological implants.
