A couple of months ago I saw Roman Polanski’s film The Ghost Writer based on the titular bestselling book by Robert Harris.

It was an interesting and enriching contrast to have John Horgan as my guest at Singularity Podcast. Following Jason Silva‘s super impassioned and optimistic defense of the singularity, accompanied by Jason’s belief that humanity will eventually conquer death and accomplish immortality,  it was intellectually stimulating to discuss the opposite point of view. John is perhaps […]

If there is one thing, however, that I will […]

In this edition of Singularity Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with prominent Canadian transhumanist and animal rights advocate George Dvorsky. George is both a passionate and fascinating interlocutor and, even though I spend over 1h 15 min interviewing him, I feel that I could have easily spent double that time while still remaining […]

In this edition of Singularity Podcast, I was privileged to do a phone interview with Barry Ptolemy, the director, and producer of Transcendent Man. Barry was very generous to make time in his busy schedule and share his thoughts on the making of the movie, the technological singularity in general, and Ray Kurzweil in particular. […]
