Ignorant people with an ideological agenda have labeled it “the most dangerous idea.” I thought that it was time to bring some basic intellectual clarity on the topic, and who is better prepared to help us do that than “the first female philosopher of transhumanism”!?

Janzen is a composer not only for orchestra but […]

Steve Mann is sometimes called the first cyborg. Other times he is called the cyborg Luddite because of the stress he puts on choosing which technologies to embrace and which ones to abandon in order to be in harmony with nature. Whatever the case may be, I was super happy to get him on Singularity 1 […]

Dr. Anders Sandberg is a well-known transhumanist, futurist, and computational neuroscientist who is currently a research fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University.
