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

Cyanotic - Transhuman (2005)
Band: Cyanotic Homepage: http://www.cyanotic.com Album Transhuman (2005) Song: Transhuman Cyanotic is a Chicago-based industrial rock collective fronted by Sean Payne that formed in 2002 and released its first full-length album in 2005. Cyanotic is known for its genre-blending work, which fuses traditional industrial beats and vocals with drum n bass, sampling and heavy metal to create a very hard sound. The band #39;s lyrics contain many tongue-in-cheek references to transhumanism. Lyrics: An intervention of collective conscience. Cultivating the anomalies. Alternating in depth perception. Expanding upon reality. Improving. Enhancing. Pervading progress. Retracting codes of morality. A flawless unit of inherent perfection. Correcting the faults of humanity. Our elements become one. Endorse the transition. No lack of comprehending specifics of the philosophy. Attributions of human error in contrast with profic.From:frittenprinzessinViews:17 2ratingsTime:05:05More inMusic

Epiphany Endangered The Relevance of God in a Transhuman Society by Dorothy Deasy 17777251 - Video

Junot Daz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Drown, meets me in front of the Harvard Bookstore. Its 9 a.m. on a Friday, and the early September humidity is just beginning to spike. Daz is wearing a mottled red t-shirt, dark grey jeans, running shoes, and a Boston Red Sox cap. He kisses me on both cheeks when we meet. Recovering from back surgery, Daz finds sitting almost impossible so we begin walking down Bow Street towards the Charles River.

Fifteen Minutes: You did an interview with The New York Times recently and talked about many of your favorite books. Its an impressive listhow do you find time to read all of those authors?

Junot Daz: You have to understand: Its what I do. When something is really important to you, I think youre always looking for an excuse. I find reading more important to me than almost anything, including my writing. I consider myself a reader way more than I consider myself a writer. Perhaps what might have struck anybody about that interview was that this quantity of reading is more emblematic of the way I organize my life than anything.

FM: Did you read anything before we met this morning?

JD: Before I came here I read a chapter of a book on invasive species while I had my damn oatmeal, and I said, I could have my fucking oatmeal and just chill. Or, I could put in 25 pages. And so 25 pages are done. The book will be done by this evening because I sort of use these still, interstitial moments to burn through them. My favorite line of the chapter was the last line: It is unlikely that anyone will ever again enter New Zealand carrying a red deer.

FM: Theres one line that really struck me from a short story you wrote titled The Cheaters Guide to Love. The line was: The half-life of love is forever. Can you explain that to me?

JD: I think you discover somethingperhaps some of us discover it young, perhaps some of us discover it much older. You can get over a person romantically and never fall out of love with them. As a young person I had no idea that that was possible. I always thought that eventually a relationship would come to end, and your imaginary would find in time surcease. But I think when you really fall in love, there seems to be something permanent that happens to you.
