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.

Chemists Warn of a Food and Natural-Resources Crisis

Five major scientific societies have joined together to warn of a looming food crisis in the face of shortages of phosphorus -- a critical element in fertilizer. They also warn of increasing shortages in other critical resources, such as rare-earth elements, and declare their intent to find breakthroughs to help solve these problems.

Their report can be found here.
