  • From cyborgs to the Sugababes, IT expert Robert Anderson talks about a world where the line between humans and machines becomes blurred. Drawing on his personal experiences of facing prejudices and bigotry while growing up, he shares his insight on how we can avoid repeating the mistakes of the past in order to create a society where humans and transhumans can live together in an open and equal manner. He urges us to take action now because as he says, "Transhumanism is coming and it's coming sooner than you think. We cannot afford to have the fear of the other rule this world."
    Robert Anderson has been interested in how technology can improve humans’ lives ever since he can remember. He started programming computers at age 10 and has been working in IT for the past 20 years with blue-chip companies to develop IT strategies and roadmaps.
    Robert says he likes how ‘TEDxFolkstone cares about developing a group of people who are speakers, not just about people who are doing TED talks.’
    He lives in Ashford and is happily married with four children who are ‘a delight to be around’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      Ask Republicans how they feel about being completely shut out of any political conversation. Ask doctors, and scientists how they feel about being shut out of the conversation about COVID, and this 'Vaccine.
      When big tech is only allowing one side to have dialog. While working in concert with this administration, and global elites pulling the strings from behind the curtains for only one message. You're already getting a taste of what these people can do. They want total control of our movements, and thoughts.

    Anyone who thinks this technology will be easily obtainable by the general public and not reserved for the elite is deluding themselves.
    Conversely, thinking such a interconnected world like he is imagining won’t have implications on personal freedom or contain prejudices against those who don’t want any augmentations is overly-optimistic.

    also the implication that rich people evolving themselves would cause bigotry "on both sides" is wrong, rich people would use "unevolved" poor people as human tools and pets even more viciously than they already do.

    Feelings is what separates us from A I, that could be the unknown we are exposing ourselves to, look at all the tv programs, one of them I zombie where humans have to coexist with zombies, even though the only source of food is regular human brains brought in from abroad, zombies in the tv series not only are stronger but have the ability to heal themselves, I robot with Will smith and many others show us the evolution of the robots and their conclusion to destroy the old version of themselves in order to maintain order, just to mention a few. Robot will have the ability to learn trough error and trial.

    If you believe soul exists then problem is solved. Then you can not become immortal. Uploading consciusness into database or being controlled by full fledged AI would mean the 'you' in database or in some cyborg will only show traits like you. it'll behave like you. At the end of the day you would be long gone but some creepy cyborg moving around representing you!
