But a pair of bionic gloves now allows him to live his passion again.
Cool! đ
After being unable to play for more than 20 years, a special pair of bionic gloves gave Brazilian pianist JoĂŁo Carlos Martins the chance to relive his passion once again. â€ïž (đ„ : @maestrojoaocarlosmartins)
Once again the use of performance enhancing substances have made the news, this time with the finger again pointed at the Russians, accusing them of âstate sponsored cheatingâ.
This issue intersects with core beliefs Transhumanism:
âWho are we? What are we composed of? What is matter? What does matter? Is the body just a vessel with an expiration date?â asks American rapper GZA from Wu-Tang Clan, in Liquid Science, the show about science and imagination he hosts on Red Bull TV. In this episode, GZA is on a âquest to understand the human desire to live foreverâ.
Trying to find answers to such questions is nothing new. In an opinion piece for the Washington Post titled ââTranshumanistâ eternal life? No thanks, Iâd rather learn not to fear deathâ, Arthur C Brooks explains that, back in the fifth century before Christ, Greek historian Herodotus wrote about âa race of people in northern Africa who, according to local lore, never seemed to ageâ.
Eternal youth and immortality have always fascinated humanity, but weâve not had much success finding them. Until now.
Are we in a simulation?
In an influential 2003 paper, University of Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom laid out the possibility that our reality is a computer simulation dreamed up by a highly advanced civilization. In the paper, he argued that at least one of three propositions must be true:
Alexey Turchin and Maxim Chernyakov, researchers belonging to the transhumanism movement, wrote a paper outlining the main ways technology might someday make resurrection possible.
From cryonics to time travel, here are some of the (highly speculative) methods that might someday be used to bring people back to life.
Terms such as âArtificial Intelligenceâ or âNeurotechnologyâ were new some time not so long ago. We canât evolve faster than our language does. We think in concepts and evolution itself is a linguistic, code-theoretic process. Do yourself a humongous favor, look over these 33 transhumanist neologisms. Hereâs a fairly comprehensive glossary of thirty three newly-introduced concepts and terms from The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mindâs Evolution by Russian-Amer⊠See More.
TODAY (Oct 4th) the USTP is holding a special pre-RAADFest Enlightenment Salon at 7 a.m. PST / 10 am EST with Gabor Kiss, CEO of ENVIENTA, to discuss ways to empower contributors to open-source projects and accelerate development of practical transhumanist technologies.

Researchers in Israel have been able to 3D Print an artificial heart. Within the 2020s decade, we may see working versions implanted in humans.
What do you think about a future where we can 3D Print body organs & parts?
#Iconickelx #Transhumanism #Future
In the coming 2020s, the world of medical science will make some significant breakthroughs. Through brain implants, we will have the capability to restore lost memories.
~ The 2020s will provide us with the computer power to make the first complete human brain simulation. Exponential growth in computation and data will make it possible to form accurate models of every part of the human brain and its 100 billion neurons.
~ The prototype of the human heart was 3D printed in 2019. By the mid- 2020s, customized 3D- printing of major human body organs will become possible. In the coming decades, more and more of the 78 organs in the human body will become printable.
Humanism (Transhumanism and Posthumanism) look likely to win. â⊠in the early 1990s, the historical tether between American identity and faith snapped. Religious non-affiliation in the U.S. started to riseâand rise, and rise. By the early 2000s, the share of Americans who said they didnât associate with any established religion (also known as â nonesâ) had doubled. By the 2010s, this grab bag of atheists, agnostics, and spiritual dabblers had tripled in size.
âNot religiousâ has become a specific American identityâone that distinguishes secular, liberal whites from the conservative, evangelical right.
