Show notes

On technology, transhumanism, and progress.

James Hughes (Exec Director, Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies) and Eli Sennesh (postdoc, Vanderbilt) present a futurist approach to Alex and contributing editor Leigh Phillips.

  • Why is it wrong to worry about future transhumanism when we need to grapple with the technologies of now?

  • What are the limits of bourgeois futurism? What is an alternative futurism?

  • Has AI changed everything? Will it?

  • Are we actually living in an age of rapid technological advance?
