Title: "Green Transhumanism"
Presenter: Guy McArthur, HiRISE Software Developer
Presentation Description:
Technologies touted by transhumanists such as nanotech and genetic engineering are often said to have enormous ecological risks. To what extent is this true? I'll attempt to answer that along with the following question: Are transhumanists and environmental activists working at opposing goals or are there areas where the transhumanist and environmental movements are compatible?
