Want to find out who, according to the NY Times, is "the first female philosopher of transhumanism"?

Today's episode of Singularity 1 on 1 features Natasha Vita-More. During our conversation with Natasha she covers a wide variety of topics such as: her personal artistic background and how she got to be interested and involved in transhumanism, as well as her take on technology, religion, death, the singularity, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and others.

I found Natasha to be a fascinating interviewee and hope that you enjoy the interview as much as I did. So, check it out and don't hesitate to let me know what you think...

For the first 1:30 seconds, she is thinking, "it wont' be long now till we improve the gentitcs of these inferior talk show host specimens, and they won't be so booooring. For now, we must be polite.."

[Nikola Danaylov]

Is that a roundabout way of saying you didn't like the questions and/or the host?

[Alan Salmi]

This woman is a real mover and shaker. She was 60 years old at the time of the interview (born in 1950).

30s? Really? Think so?

[Humjob]

She's beautiful. She would make a great movie archetype... the stunning female scientist in her 30s at the head of an organization to change humanity's biology through technology, part idealist heroine but also part villainous eugenicist.

Yes, I have had an uncomfortable discussion with a veterinarian who accused me of anthropomorphizing as well. I find this term anthropomorphism very irritating and it confuses a lot of people and stirs the education away from what people should learn particularly now at this stage of scientific development. The word anthropomorphism is outdated and should go to a museum. It has often been used in connection with attributing human characteristics into animals. Animals are in fact very human.

I like where she is going...except of course if it isn't a singularity, but rather an individuality. Then what?

[Adrián Correa]

I'm amazed looking at her... fascinated.

And, additionally... she's so too excessively much attractive! WOW
