Transhumanist technology will do much for the world that the world can't really imagine yet, including overcome some of the climate issues the world is facing.
Zoltan IstvanScience and technology can solve all the world's problems, and historically it has been shown to make the world better and better.
Zoltan IstvanMy goal is to try to tell the public that America could use more science and technology in all aspects of its life.
Zoltan IstvanIf there's something else already out there in the universe, it would almost certainly have puts limits on our growth of intelligence. And the reason it would have put limits on us is because it doesn't want us to grow so intelligent that we would one day maybe take away their superpowered intelligence. Whatever advanced intelligence evolves, it always puts a roadblock in the way of other intelligences evolving. And the reason this happens is so nobody can take away one's power, no matter how far up the ladder they've gone.
Zoltan IstvanI advocate as a futurist and also as a member of the Transhumanist Party, that we never let artificial intelligence completely go on its own. I just don't see why the human species needs an artificial entity, an artificial intelligence entity, that's 10,000 times smarter than us. I just don't see why that could ever be a good thing.
