Westworld Review: HBO’s New Series Is Bold, Compelling
Posted by Sean Brazell in categories: entertainment, transhumanism
Fantastic review! I will DEFINITELY be giving this series a go when it premieres very early next month!
This show, like the novel it’s based on, will explore many major transhumanist (and humanist, for that matter) themes. What do you think? Will you be watching too?

As our worldwide transportation network becomes less and less able to support the demands of a global economy, more and more individuals and communities will either spend too much time on the road or become isolated.

Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: futurism
Cape Breton is a small island at the eastern end of Nova Scotia. It features all four seasons, the population (as or 2001) is just under 150,000 and the community is true to its small town roots.
The Farmer’s Daughter Country Market, a bakery and general store, is a staple of this hidden paradise and it is looking to expand. They have everything they need, except people.
NOT SURE ABOUT CANADA? New Zealand is proposing a similar but different proposal.

The excitement of treatment day was followed by months of anticipation before the letdown of not magically reversing visual aging and becoming a 20-year-old biologically again. Even so, the year has been filled with energizing information gleaned from every additional molecular biomarker test that we have done. In this post, I will try to summarize my feelings on several topics as they have evolved throughout the year.
First in Human Use
Being the first person to use any new medical treatment is a complicated endeavor. It is infinitely more complicated when we don’t know the possible outcomes, the perfect dosage, the regimen, or the optimal delivery method.

For the same reasons, every small success seems unbelievable, even though they are the results we wanted.
