Our Vision Weekends are the annual festivals of Foresight Institute. Held in two countries, over two weekends, you are invited to burst your tech silos and plan for flourishing long-term futures. This playlist captures the magic of our Puerto Rico edition, held February 21–23, 2025, in the heart of Old San Juan. Come for the ideas: join the conference, unconference, mentorship hours, curated 1-1s, tech demos, biohacking sessions, prize awards, and much more. Stay for fun with new friends: join the satellite gatherings, solarpunk future salsa night, beach picnic, and surprise island adventures. This year’s main conference track is dedicated to “Paths to Progress”; meaning you will hear 20+ invited presentations from Foresight’s core community highlighting paths to progress in the following areas: Existential Hope Futures, Longevity, Rejuvenation, Cryonics, Neurotech, BCIs & WBEs, Cryptography, Security & AI, Fusion, Energy, Space, and Funding, Innovation, Progress.

*About The Foresight Institute*
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1986 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support. From molecular nanotechnology, to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, cryptocommerce, and AI, Foresight gathers leading minds to advance research and accelerate progress toward flourishing futures.

We’re closer than ever to being able to upload our minds and become “digitally immortal.” But should we?

What if our minds could live after our bodies have died? What if mortality became obsolete? Steven Kotler, award-winning journalist and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, has studied these seemingly sci-fi ideas, and it turns out that they’re not so fictional, after all. In fact, mind-uploading technology is expected to be available as early as 2045.
“Digital immortality” would have its upsides; we could preserve the minds of modern geniuses and have their guidance through future conflicts. Or, alternatively, things could get dark, as we have never before interfered with such complex evolutionary processes. Kotler explains that the ability to store human personalities and consciousness on computers poses profound ethical and societal questions.
By developing and using this mind-uploading technology, we are simultaneously redefining what it means to be a human being, pushing the boundary between life, death, and whatever is in between. It seems, whether we’re ready or not, that it is going to happen soon.
🧠💥 Quantum Particle Zeta‑9 Just Broke the Human Thought Barrier.
A newly discovered particle is doing something no subatomic entity should be capable of — reacting to human thought before it happens. Welcome to the edge of physics, where consciousness and quantum mechanics collide.
In this video, we unpack the stunning results from recent Fermilab experiments involving Zeta‑9, a particle that appears to anticipate human intention. Is it just quantum weirdness—or evidence that the human mind is more than biology?
You’ll discover:
What Zeta‑9 is and how it was discovered.
Why its behavior defies causality and classical physics.
Scientists have made a bold leap in the search for life’s origins, offering a fresh look at how chemistry might have crossed over into biology. At the center of this progress are coacervate droplets—tiny clusters of molecules that may be the missing link between lifeless matter and the first living cells.
Quantum physics already feels like a puzzle, but now scientists have made it more literal. A team of mathematicians from the University of Colorado Boulder has designed a quantum Rubik’s cube, with infinite possible states and some weird new moves available to solve it.
The classic (and classical) Rubik’s cube is what’s known as a permutation puzzle, which requires players to perform certain actions to rearrange one of a number of possible permutations into a ‘solved’ state.
In the case of the infamous cube, that’s around 43 quintillion possible combinations of small colored blocks being sorted into six, consistently-colored faces through a series of constrained movements.
Plans are taking off to use an unconventional technique to accelerate particles in a future collider.
