Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

About Me

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

Wounds of War -- Suffering and Self-Enhancement from the Battlefield -- Soc

*
The Washington Post offers this article on American Iraq war veterans who feel they have grown stronger in some way as a result of their war wounds. And this article from The New York Times discusses the terrible psychological effects suffered by a vast number of American troops. Given the strong political opinions about this war, I'm not going to offer much comment, except to say that both articles provide valuable insight into the minds of people who have endured terrible experiences.
