"Neurotech: Existential Hope Scenarios - Anders Sandberg, Mary Lou Jepsen, Zarinah Agnew, Dan Barcay"
Pseudo "we are SO progressive, rational & interesting" type of ideas - but essentially regressive, boring bullshit. Mindless techno-chatter from a highly none-diverse, privileged group of people, clearly driven by personal angst - not even noticing who's PR agent they have become. An excellent example how the "Avantgarde" of Western techno-culture is end-to-end bankrupt now - Jacques Ellul & Lewis Mumford are laughing from their graves. The panellists should go and work on a farm or birth clinic for a few years.
