H+ / You+ - Transhumanist Art [NO AUDIO, REUPLOAD]
(License details at bottom). - Enjoy! The ideas behind transhumanism, the values of / put to improving humans through artificial or biologically selective means AND the moral, ethical arguments are all things which interest me. The fact that all these concepts cannot be banned, trademarked or copyrighted are all signs that we are moving in the right direction, even if you disagree with those concepts. I made this piece today using a combination of photoshop for images, Vectorian Giotto for the flash animations and blur effects, EzVid and CamStudio for recordings, Media Converter for turning SWF files into AVI, SqirlzReflect for the rain and watery ripple effects and Windows Movie Maker for turning everything into this one piece and adding panning effects and zooms ect...

THE MUSIC INDUSTRY EXPOSED - The Transhumanist Agenda (Part 11/11) *BANNED FROM YOUTUBE*
A video series made and produced by Farhan Khan. Farhan #39;s account had been deleted by YouTube because of "suspicious activity" on his account. It #39;s all complete bullshit, thought I #39;d do him a favour and re-upload them all for everyone to see. Peace. The videos expose how the Illuminati is controlling the music industry. The way they use it to brainwash the public through media. Exposing their plans for the New World Order.

Do Transhumanists (or theists) REALLY desire immortality?
Because I'm not convinced. Same with theists. Which is why you never hear a theist spend hour upon hour describing in exquisite detail the joy of living in heaven for ETERNITY. And which is why you rarely hear a transhumanist talk about IMMORTALITY without demanding a get out clause.

So, what am I? first political video: an introduction (meritocrat, transhumanist, pragmatist)
Long story short, a while ago I broke my rule of "no political videos" when I made a SOPA/PIPA video. I #39;ve decided to see if there #39;s a place for a channel that mixes real life stuff with game stuff. As in, real irl stuff. Like what #39;s going on in Syria and my opinion on it. This is the first video, and is basically an introduction to what you #39;d see in the future for the politically related videos. I will warn you, my views are not standardized and I side with neither american major political party - I am not a democrat or a republican. If hearing an independent view is of interest to you, well, stick around and consider leaving a comment about your preferred topic. I couldn #39;t fit most on the ending screen, so there #39;s lots of unlisted stuff. Farewell address of Gen. George Washington, because I referenced it: avalon.law.yale.eduFrom:belthazor3457Views:67 10ratingsTime:13:03More inEducation

Lincoln Cannon on Singularity 1 on 1: Reach Out To Religious Transhumanists
http://www.singularityweblog.com Lincoln Cannon is one of those people who break the mold. He is not only a software engineer with degrees in philosophy and business but also the president of the Mormon Transhumanist Association. So if, like me, you thought that Mormon Transhumanism is an oxymoron, you should put your presumptions away and give Lincoln the chance to explain why this is not the case. Then you can judge for yourself. During our conversation with Cannon we cover a wide variety of topics such as: the history and purpose behind the Mormon Transhumanist Association; the story of how Lincoln discovered the technological singularity and transhumanism; what is Mormonism and how it is compatible with both of the above; the relationship between Mormonism, science and technology; the historicity of the Book of Mormon; being feminist, intellectual or gay and how that relates to being Mormon and/or transhumanist...From:Nikola DanaylovViews:71 3ratingsTime:01:13:38More inScience Technology

The Mind of David Pearce Part 1 - Why and how to get rid of suffering
"This talk is about suffering and how to get rid of it. I predict we will abolish suffering throughout the living world. Our descendants will be animated by gradients of genetically preprogrammed well-being that are orders of magnitude richer than today #39;s peak experiences. First, I #39;m going to outline why it #39;s technically feasible to abolish the biological substrates of any kind of unpleasant experience - psychological pain as well as physical pain. Secondly, I #39;m going to argue for the overriding moral urgency of the abolitionist project, whether or not one is any kind of ethical utilitarian. Thirdly, I #39;m going to argue why a revolution in biotechnology means it #39;s going to happen, albeit not nearly as fast as it should." -Transhumanist philosopher David Pearce, abolitionist dot comFrom:AlgeKalipsoViews:1 0ratingsTime:08:58More inEntertainment
