http://home.gate.net/~healournation/ Technocalyps is an intriguing three-part documentary on the notion of transhumanism by Belgian visual artist and filmmaker Frank Theys. The latest findings in genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, bionics and nanotechnology appear in the media every day, but with no analysis of their common aim: that of exceeding human limitations. The director conducts his enquiry into the scientific, ethical and metaphysical dimensions of technological development. The film includes interviews by top experts and thinkers on the subject worldwide, including Marvin Minsky, Terence McKenna, Hans Moravec, Bruce Sterling, Robert Anton Wilson, Richard Seed, Margareth Wertheim, Kirkpatrick Sale, Ralph C. Merkle, Mark Pesce, Ray Kurzweil, Rabbi Youssouf Kazen, Rael and many others.

  • second french part:

    with the findings of where things are processed in the brain, we can insert electronics into the brain,

  • French part

    this could permit us to recreate the brain in case of accidents or sickness. this also permits us to possibly make a connection from one persons brain to another. these are things that are currently impossible. we could transmit experiences from one person to another. other practical short term applications could also be possible: (leads into gun shot stuff...)

  • I can't help think that some of these people are absolutely evil and crazy

  • Nice analysis random black guy, always blaming everything on racism, it's pretty sad actually. I know I'm white but even I can understand that they didn't just say "Let's put all these cameras in the black neighborhoods." I'm almost 100% certain, instead, they said "Let's put these cameras in the places with the highest crime rate." Which believe it or not is almost always in the minority/lower income areas of most cities.

  • Can someone please translate the Frenchy's part?

  • Why isn't the Frenchman's part subtitled or dubbed over the top?
