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.

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.

Localized Criticality Possibly Reached by One Fukushima Reactor

A "localized criticality" -- basically, a small amount of fissioning in the fuel or spent fuel present -- may have been achieved at one of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi site. An ethereal blue light has been seen at the site, presumably as a result of this event. The IAEA does not think this situation will cause a full meltdown across the plant.
