My Q for the "European anti-establishment revolt" #BattleOfIdeas panel - would those panellists who applaud the new populist parties be happy if these parties go on to adopt more of the Trump "The President can do no wrong" playbook, attacking independent press & judiciary etc?
This #BattleOfIdeas panel was disappointing in that some panellists made highly contentious statements, but no other panellists challenged them. E.g John King twice repeated the old canard that Ted Heath deceived the 1975 voters by hiding the political implications of joining EEC
Solid evidence against this claim of deception is easy to find online. See e.g. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/0… or infacts.org/mythbusts/vote…
Next Sunday I'll be speaking at the #BattleOfIdeas Transhumanism session with @SandyStarr0, @GunesTaylor, @Nikos_17. Spoiler alert: Transhumanists don't necessarily "want to live forever", but do seek people having greater choice over their bodily decline battleofideas.org.uk/session/transh…
Transhumanism moreover seeks Life EXPANSION rather than just Life EXTENSION, and seeks to transcend, not only the inherited shortcomings of our bodily design, but also our inherited shortcomings in mind, emotion, and social structure #BattleOfIdeas
Transhumanism is deeply interested in how a fuller understanding of genetics could enable greater human flourishing. But alongside genomic editing, transhumanists are open to using many other kinds of tech to radically improve the human condition (e.g nanotech, AI) #BattleOfIdeas
