As one of the most visible 2016 presidential candidates—and now as a leading 2018 contender for Governor in California—Zoltan Istvan has been the “Science Candidate,” traveling around America to discuss the issues of transhumanism and radical longevity that are transforming humanity. Soon the issues of AI, genetic editing, designer babies, bionic organs, automation, and neural prosthetics will challenge and dominate political discourse. America must embrace radical science with bold polices.
When you eat something loaded with sugar, your taste buds, your gut and your brain all take notice. This activation of your reward system is not unlike how bodies process addictive substances such as alcohol or nicotine — an overload of sugar spikes dopamine levels and leaves you craving more.
With this video prepared by TED-Ed, Nicole Avena explains why sweets and treats should be enjoyed in moderation.

If we can build a brain, what is the future of “I”?
Posted by Johnny Boston in categories: biological, biotech/medical, ethics, futurism, health, transhumanism
The study of consciousness and what makes us individuals is a topic filled with complexities. From a neuroscience perspective, consciousness is derived from a self-model as a unitary structure that shapes our perceptions, decisions and feelings. There is a tendency to jump to the conclusion with this model that mankind is being defined as self-absorbed and only being in it for ourselves in this life. Although that may be partially true, this definition of consciousness doesn’t necessarily address the role of morals and how that is shaped into our being. In the latest addition to The Galactic Public Archives, Dr. Ken Hayworth tackles the philosophical impact that technologies have on our lives.

5G Is An International Health Crisis In The Making
Posted by John Gallagher in categories: health, internet
Before any rollouts of 5G, consumers should be demanding the scientific research proving safety, not just microwave technology consensus science where guys and gals get together and jawbone which science they want to accept and/or belief as factual, something that industry’s professional associations are keen to do and promote.
Whereas factually and in scientific reality, that industry’s funded research found 32% non-thermal radiation wave adverse effects, which ICNIRP states it will not accept. In my opinion as a researcher, that’s tantamount to scientific fraud.
