There are two particular technologies which will have a radical destabilizing effect on the globe once they pass certain progress thresholds – molecular nanotechnology (MNT) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). These technologies are likely to be deployed sometime between 2020 and 2040, and if we don’t handle them with the utmost caution, they could cause disaster.

Accordingly, much of the material you will find on this site is devoted to presenting evidence in favor of this view, and encouraging the reader to get involved in the ongoing ethics dialogue or even active support of research. I’m interested in many other topics, like arms control and foreign policy, but my focus on MNT and AGI is what distinguishes me from most people you’ll run across. Like so many other techie hipsters nowadays, my personal philosophy is transhumanist.

My background: in 2002, when I was a senior in High School, I co-founded the Immortality Institute, a life extension organization that today includes hundreds of paying members and an active online community. In 2006 I founded the Accelerating Future blog, which gets over 70,000 unique visitors per month and has been featured on G4TV, SciFi.com, and the front page of Digg and Reddit. I’m currently Media Director for the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Fundraising Director, North America for the Lifeboat Foundation, and am involved in the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology. I’ve given talks on futurist issues at seminars and conferences in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and at Yale University.

The main goal of TECHNOLIFE is to develop new ways to improve the participation in debating about ethical, legal, economic, social and environmental impacts of new technologies.
The outcomes of the project will be presented to high-level policy makers within the European Union.

Who are we
We (the Technolife research team) are social scientists and ethicists participating in debates about the social and environmental aspects of emerging technologies.

We think that existing mechanisms for understanding and debating novel technologies are insufficient, and that new ways must be found for a greater number of voices to be heard within our political and regulatory systems.

The Technolife team involved research groups from 7 European Countries:

European Commission – Joint Research Center – Italy

Manchester University – UK

Lancaster University – UK

Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona – Spain

Universita de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en Yvelines – France

University of Bergen – Norway (coordinator)

University of Copenhagen – Denmark

University of Tartu – Estonia

MissionThe Future of Humanity Institute’s mission is to bring careful thinking to bear on big-picture questions about humanity and its prospects. The Institute’s work focuses on how future technology might affect fundamental parameters of the human condition, the risks and opportunities involved, and the epistemic, moral, and prioritization issues that confront actors who pursue long-range global objectives. They currently pursue four interlinked research programs:

•Global catastrophic risks: What are the biggest threats to global civilization and human well-being? How can the human species survive the 21st century?
•Human enhancement: How can medicine and technology be used to enhance basic biological capacities, such as cognition and lifespan? Can enhancement be ethical and wise?
•Applied epistemology and rationality: How can we make better decisions under conditions of profound uncertainty and high stakes? How can we reduce bias and human error in our decision-making?
•Future technologies: What would be the impacts of potentially transformative technologies such as advanced nanotechnology and artificial intelligence?

His name is Matt and he live in San Diego, CA. He graduated San Diego State University with a degree in Kinesiology, emphasis Fitness, Nutrition and Health.

His primary interests are how humanity, specifically the human body, will be changed by the advent of new technologies. He is optimistic about the potential of GNR (genetic, nanotech, robotic) technologies to drastically improve the living standard of humanity. He is also pessimistic of humanities ability to use these technologies for positive rather than negative reasons (see atomic bomb.) He suppose that makes me a middle of the road type.

A devout Muslim who had engaged in Islamic charity work and proselytizing in the U.S., Siddiqui moved back to Pakistan in 2002. She disappeared with her three young children in March 2003, shortly after the arrest of her second husband’s uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. (Mohammed is the alleged chief planner of the September 11 attacks.) Siddiqui was added to the FBI Seeking Information – War on Terrorism list in 2003, which stated that although the Bureau had no specific information connecting Siddiqui to terrorism, it wanted to locate and question her.In May 2004, however, the FBI named Siddiqui as one of seven FBI Most Wanted Terrorists. Her whereabouts remained unknown for more than five years. In July 2008, she was arrested in Afghanistan outside the compound of the governor of Ghazni Province, on suspicion of being a suicide bomber. The Afghan police said she was carrying in her handbag handwritten notes on how to make C-4 explosives, gunpowder, deadly viruses, and machines to shoot down U.S. drones. She was also said to be carrying two pounds of deadly poison, a computer thumb drive, and descriptions of New York City landmarks, including the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.

Intelligence Amplification
One of the most promising transhumanist goals is to increase the mental abilities of humans to new levels. This can be done using various cognition enhancing drugs (nootropics), bionic enhancements, uploading, information management strategies or ancient methods like mnemonics, training or efficient thinking.

Another goal is to be able to modify our minds; to change our personalities, memories, skills or thought-patterns to suit the situation or our ideals, see the Mental Enhancement Page for this.

People accept their limitations so as to prevent themselves from wanting anything they might get.
Celia Green
There is no a priori reason why a human being should not combine the qualities, say, of Einstein, Shakespeare, Mozart, Darwin, J.M.W. Turner, a nuthatch and a pocket calculator. Indeed, there is no a priori reason why such a paragon should not be considered ordinary.
Colin Tudge
Transhumanism has many forms, sometimes apparently contradictory. Its essence is in my opinion, that we humans can, and shouldcontinue to develop ourselves in all possible directions. The bodies and minds evolution has given us are wonderful, but far from perfect. They can be improved in many ways, and this can be done in a rational manner using science and technology. In the same way many other parts of the “Human Condition” may be changed through new methods and visions. In the long run, we will no longer be human anymore, but posthuman beings.
Of course, not all people would like to go this far. Some might want to improve themselves somewhat, but still remain essentially as before. Others might reject any improvements outright for various reasons. From a transhumanistic standpoint, this is no problem. If they don’t want to go in our direction, they are welcome to remain humans. What we cannot accept is other people putting restrictions on our quest towards transhumanity; in that case we have to prevent them from interfering, probably by simply avoiding them. In no way do we want to force anybody to anything.

I DO NOT ANSWER E-MAIL…TO BE MORE OR LESS…IS TO BE THE TARGET OF THE  CULT…HERE IN WHITE ROCK B.C.

TO ME…I HOPE YOUR OUT THERE…THIS IS NOT THE WORK OF GOD…BUT THE WORK OF DEVILS.    SHERRY

My reply was as:

I am not sure that what is your history in this theory.

 ”I DO NOT ANSWER E-MAIL..” “MY PHONE AND COMPUTER ARE HACKED INTO…”

If you are afraid of your email being read and monitored, then don’t be afraid, because Internet is like information highway. Like on road and highway, there are traffic police, similarly there must be some monitoring going on by CIA or Law enforcement agencies.

So your information is on safe hand and don’t be afraid.

How you can take some safety steps like anti-virus must be installed/Don’t install unknown software/search on net for some safety steps for using internet.

 “THIS IS NOT THE WORK OF GOD…BUT THE WORK OF DEVILS.”

Be practical it is not the matter of God or Devils. It is medical and possibly security reasons.

 “THE MEDIA REPLAYS THE NEWS…AND, I WAS UNDER ATTACK…AND HAD A REALITY REFORMATION…THIS INVOLVED DRUGS,THAT MADE ME ILL FOR THREE DAYS…”

 That might be very much true. Check for your food intake. It might be drugged. Keep an eye on your servants if you have any. LSD and similar other drugs are used for mind control. One of the effects of LSD is that you think that you are be followed by some body and agencies are following you. Some mind enhancement drugs have similar effects on human mind.

Persons on high profile jobs are also drugged to get maximum output and sometimes they have same effects that you are feeling. So be normal and follow some stress management tips, search on net for more details.

 Some of tips by me:

• I suggest you consult some professional who have expertise in security and medical both. This combination is very important to understand the real problem. Some times it is purely medical reasons and some time security and some times mixture of both.
•  Try to create a boundary line b/w real world and imagination. Imagination is a great power and people take drugs to attain them. But a negative imagination can destroy your life. When thinking, go forward with you thinking, visualize the case, issue and then come back to real life with wisdom that you got with this imagination and act in real life.
• Continuous imagination reduces the processing power of mind. So think about some subject and then close the subject with  some conclusions. In this way you can reduce the stress on mind.
• Change environment, change friends and give some time for relaxation.
• Start a self reading about mind control, mind reading and mind feeding and related subjects. It will help to fight back with problem in better way. Secondly read about stress management on net.
• Follow me on Blog related to mind sciences at
