Biometric Data And The Rise Of Digital Dictatorship
Posted by John Gallagher in categories: futurism, privacy
Is humanity doomed? Are we one of the last generations of homo sapiens — soon to be supplanted by engineered cyberbeings, with a distant semblance to their creators (us)?
On Jan. 24, historian and international best-selling author Yuval Noah Harari presented his view of the future at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Harari wrote Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and also Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.
In a riveting 25-minute presentation, Harari painted a very gloomy — but possible — view of the future, based on his thesis that we are now in our third grand revolution: the control of data, following the control of land (Agrarian Revolution) and the control of machinery (Industrial Revolution). The point of no return, Harari contends, will happen when technology will be able to extract high-precision biometric data from people and report back to a centralized decision-making control system, owned by governments or by corporations — or both. By biometric, he means your pulse, pressure, sweat composition, dilation of your pupils, etc.: kind of a lie-detector on steroids.

Can humans live to be 1,000 years old?
Posted by Montie Adkins in categories: futurism, life extension
And what the media and scientists think of it.
Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., Vice President of New Technology Discovery at AgeX Therapeutics, discusses the “Methuselarity” — the point at which technology enables humans to live to more than 1,000 years of age. Dr. de Grey believes this could happen within the coming decades and posits that some people born today may live to be 1,000 years of age. He further states that people who are 30 years old today have a 50/50 chance to live to be 1,000 years old. Dr. de Grey bases his assumptions on the research into aging that companies like Agex Therapeutics are pursuing. This video is the third in a series from AgeX about the future of aging and its impact on humanity. For more information on the company, please visit www.agexinc.com.
