Bostrom (Helsingborg, 1973) is a professor at the University of Oxford and founder and director of the Future of Humanity Institute. He is known as a transhumanist and researches, together with scientists of all kinds of disciplines, the fundamental chances and threats for the future of humanity. In this video, Heijne and Bostrom talk about the oppertunities and threats of superintelligence and how man and machine will live together.
Bas Heijne (1960) is a Dutch writer and interviewer. He studied English language and literature, has published numerous books and is well-known for his opinionated essays and columns in newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

He interviewed philosophers, technologists and scientists around the world, in search of the future of the human species.
This interview is an excerpt from the Dutch science programme De Volmaakte Mens (“The Perfect Human Being”), episode 5 'Man versus Machine'. The six-part science series De Volmaakte Mens was broadcast on Dutch television in Spring 2015.

It's always good to sit and listen to nick bostrom
it nourishes the white male ego in all of us
Welcome to Nick Bostrom's New School of Eugenics, USA's vision for the future of Manifest Destiny.
If at any point we become 'super'*coughcough*intelligent', 9 months later the last child would be born. And max 100 years later all our problems would be over.
Indeed
No. A whole set of new problems not foreseen will come about.
Actually, that's when your problems will begin . . . nick's pursuit of human perfection is vanity disguised as philosophy . . . very merchandisable among the narcissistic rich, like Bill Gates.
In the future, according to Nick Bostrom, all the new and improved transhuman will look like him. Ethics reduced to an exercise in Narcissism and the adoration of white bald heads.
? Please Explain
Why do you think he's narcissistic?
