ALREADY LIVING LONGER. "There has been roughly a tripling of life expectancy for humans in the last few thousand years." https://lnkd.in/dKdjZsY View in LinkedIn

NUTRIENT COLLAPSE. “Measurements of fruits and vegetables show that their minerals, vitamin and protein content has measurably dropped over the past 50 to 70 years. Researchers have generally assumed the reason is fairly straightforward: We’ve been breeding and choosing crops for higher yields, rather than nutrition, and higher-yielding crops—whether broccoli, tomatoes, or wheat—tend to be less nutrient-packed.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

NOTHING NEW EXCEPT THE SCALE. "It’s a myth that human augmentation is anything new. Since the first humans picked up sticks and rocks and started using tools, we've been augmenting ourselves...the common thread is transhumanism; to constantly and fundamentally transform the human condition.” https://lnkd.in/dNbt_XN View in LinkedIn

HISTORIC EVENT. “Every leaf and every grass blade on earth makes more and more sugars as CO2 levels keep rising. We are witnessing the greatest injection of carbohydrates into the biosphere in human history―[an] injection that dilutes other nutrients in our food supply.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

CATALAN BRAIN IMPLANT. "Neil Harbisson, who wears an antenna that allows him to hear colour, debunks the idea that it is anything unnatural." https://lnkd.in/dNbt_XN View in LinkedIn

BRAIN AUGMENTATION. “Elon Musk started a new company, Neuralink, to do it. Facebook, at its F8 developer’s conference, showed a video of an ALS patient typing with her brain. But earlier to the game was Bryan Johnson, an entrepreneur who in 2013 made a bundle by selling his company, Braintree, to Paypal for $800 million. Last year, he used $100 million of that to start Kernel, a company that is exploring how to build and implant chips into the skulls of those with some form of neurological disease and dysfunction, to reprogram their neural networks to restore some of their lost abilities.“ https://lnkd.in/d8HYsSd View in LinkedIn

STAYING CURRENT. “For humans to be relevant in a matter of decades there is no choice other than to unlock our brains and intervene in our cognitive evolution." https://lnkd.in/dnChdYu View in LinkedIn
