Blind Insights - Transhumanism and the possibility of human upgrades (Special Guest Peter Thomson)
Have you seen Blade Runner, Terminator, Altered Carbon, Gattaca, Robocop, or Ironman? These are fun movies but even better thought-experiments that delve into the dark world of transhumanism. Between uploading your consciousness to another body or computer, to altering your body to contain computers or robotics within it, the technological possibilities are putting into question what being human really means. With David's existentialism, Peter's Philosophical 'Geekiness', and Tim's introduction to the topic, the conversation brings many perspectives that will make you wonder what your limits and expectations of technology are now and into the future.
