Transhumanism - Science Week @ the Cathedral - Randal Koene, Stephen Ames, Mike Arnold
Dr. Randal Koene (Neuroscientist), Rev. Dr. Stephen Ames (Canon of St.Paul #39;s), Dr. Mike Arnold (University of Melbourne) 2012.singularitysummit.com.au Location: St Paul #39;s Cathedral cnr Flinders/Swanston St Melbourne Time: 6.00pm Thursday 16th August "The vision of a transhuman future affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. The transhuman future also projects a cosmic horizon of post-human beings with godlike capacities where super intelligence saturates the whole universe. All this naturally provokes different responses: some eager to pursue, some cautious, some dismissive. This encompassing narrative has many parallels (and differences) with a Christian narrative of the cosmos. This cathedral conversation aims at mutual understanding and critical engagement between the transhuman future, the sociology of technology and a Christian perspective." A discussion on Transhumanism/Posthumanism. Entry is free with the request for a gold coin donation to cover costs. Each speaker will have approx 10 minutes to speak, and then five minutes to reply to each other and then open for Q/A. The atmosphere is intended to be #39;appreciative #39; while clearly indicating differences.From:Adam FordViews:270 8ratingsTime:01:30:44More inScience Technology
