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.

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.

Betterhumans.Com Wants You!

*
Betterhumans.Com is making a push to boost its membership to the 2,000 mark. (They're 21 members short.) While this website is officially neutral on most policy debates over human enhancement ("our" only position is that the debate would be well-served by a knowledgeable public), Betterhumans.Com is worthwhile as a news source alone.

Betterhumans offers valuable information on the subject of human enhancement -- particularly information about cybernetics, AI, genetic engineering, nootropic intelligence-boosting drugs and other biotech- and infotech-related augmentations. While most useful sites covering human enhancement technology offer extremely narrow coverage, Betterhumans has a much broader perspective. You can actually get into discussions in which most participants have not staked out an immutable position they defend with fanatical intensity.

So if you want to share ideas with "like minds," or merely wish to see what some of the more thoughtful and practical "transhumanists," their associates and sympathizers are up to, check out the Betterhumans site. Membership is, incidentally, free.

You can join their site, read their archives and participate in the forums by going here.
