Show Notes

You are a transhuman.

The very definition of the human condition is the necessity to adapt to change.

In our current times the pace of change has accelerated, and technology is transforming our world, is transforming us ever more radically.

If we didn’t change with technology, we would not survive.

From cooking food with fire, to using glasses to restore our eyesight, to smartphones for global communication and coordination, technology changed us, and we evolved with it.

Are we going to push the boundaries of this adaptation even further?

Are we going to change our genetic makeup to better survive on Martian gravity?

We’d better get ready for a rich civilization where the definition of being human is broad, and where we apply the most inclusive criteria possible for an active participation.
