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.

Radiation Found in Tokyo Tapwater

The Japanese government has reported the presence of radioactive iodine in samples of Tokyo tapwater, but states that the levels found are well within safe limits for human consumption.

I have no recommendations for people living in the city of Tokyo who have no other place to go, but if I were living there, I would be taking potassium iodide (or some other source of healthy iodine) as a preventative at this point. You really do not want radioactive-iodine levels to be reported as dangerous after you have spent several days taking in that iodine.

The point is to avoid flooding your thyroid with radioactive iodine and thus to avoid thyroid cancer.
