I was interviewed on Saturday in a talk radio format, but it is a podcast called Peering Into the Darkness, with Derek and Sharon Gilbert. The topic was transhumanism and related issues. What astounds me is that communication technology is moving so fast that it is hard to keep up. While not quite up to radio technical qualities yet, this medium is changing how we communicate at lightning speed. Everything is becoming decentralized, both for good and ill.
In any event, the conversation was wide-ranging, and at times got me in over my pay grade. But I had a very good time and thank Derek and Sharon for their hospitality. If you have a spare hour and are interested in the more esoteric issues surrounding transhumanism as religion, check it out.
