- For technologist and National Geographic Explorer Albert Lin, human technology is personal. He describes the moment when his leg was crushed under a vehicle two years ago as both his death and his rebirth. Now partially bionic, he endeavors to make prosthetics more accessible to the 40 million amputees in the world.

I will always watch any special that Albert Lin is in exploring. He is fantastic. Explains everything so clearly.
Omg when I used to talk about this people said I was crazy
Thats one of the issues with certain people. They lack the ability to see ahead of time and imagine a certain future. The moment we as a species stop asking questions, intellectually we die. You however have the ability to imagine what could be. Dont lose it.
Wow
ATTENTION📢📢📢 Once you go out and get the jabb-vaxxx you are no longer you ...you are a product your now considered to be "unhuman" and by law.. by you not being human you are owned by the person that Patent that GENE that you ran out and got!!! And who is that??? Well Mr. Gates is one of them!!! Along with a couple of other world leaders and Billionaires!!! You are a Product! Look up the word T.R.A.N.S.H.U.M.A.N.I.S.M. (I had to type it like that because my comment was being blocked by U-Tubezzzzzzzz👀) btw the Elite aren't taking it.. when you see them on TV it's all props they're not taking it and this is a very higher up Elite. That's all I can express 👍
There's a good chance that you are crazy. Most of the people who use this word are. Just like, I can use words like "elites," or "conspiracy," and can talk about the historical Illuminati or about the Federal Reserve or BitCoin or the possibility of space aliens and none of this makes me crazy... but... the people who obsess about these things and talk about them all the time... most of them are completely fucking nuts.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 oh yeah keep tooting your own horn won’t you?
@@paulinadeluca9117 you just reminded me of a funny part of the film Anchorman. Thanks.
I just came across Ramachandran in a book I'm reading. Also just came across this topic of "transhumanism". There are so many strong emotions connected to this topic. I'm excited to see what is going to happen with this one.
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable... but will the outcome always be good? I guess that will depend on how we approach it. These past few months, I was challenged many times, but more often than not, didn't I try to keep morality in mind, knowing that my actions didn't have to harm others? Time and time again, didn't I resist the urge to abuse power and resources simply to achieve my goals more swiftly? In the past, we've had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious. For the first time in history, we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now - to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine, leading to the promise of a Singularity - would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But won't achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods we've always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it.

in how many videos you gonna copy&paste this stuff ? gets boring after a while, doesn't it ?
@@Deus_Ubique No idea. Ask the Omnissiah.
"It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits"
Yea, but from nature you cannot derive norms, it's otherwise the natural fallacy.
In Nature terrible things happen like murder or rape, just because it happens in Nature it doesnt mean it should be.
How did slaveholders legitmate slavery? With human nature because it's human nature that has to be subjugated.
If you wanna go for transhumanism, you should derive it from other sources, not Nature.
Think a little highly of yourself don't u??? 🤔✝️
I’m not reading all that
Very interesting, Albert! Thank you for sharing.
We can’t create truth. It exists in spite of us.
That old serpent.
Lol .. superstitions
Losing your ego to discover human potential and transcendence does not require merging with machines. It’s always been here. We’re the ones who have lost our way. Nothing needs to be added.
Honours to your Comment!
Philosophical.
Exactly we all lost our power
100% correct…
noone said it rquired technology, technology is just an obvious extention of ourselves, selces which most havent even begun to deconstruct to begin with.
I'm from Africa, be careful of connecting yourself with wrong spirit
Hahaha.
As scary as it sounds, with technology advancing so quick this seems inevitable, we won’t be able to stop this.
Those people don’t believe in Creator.I will choose to die.
People will get dumber i think, for centuries the iq levels have dropped 7 points each generation and it’ll only get worse because technology does everything for us
But it is how it is presented... we need choice! I feel that it is being forced.
This is the Plane of Existence and Dimension were we stop it. They Can't Win. We are Nature! We are Righteous! We are One!
@@haydenjardine9178 the mark of the beast can't be forced. I will die for my belief in Jesus.
This needs to be talked about more.
Yes. To avoid it.
@@mantralibre1367 No thats just your human nature, being uncomfortable and afraid of the unknow. Plus we live in the information age, but also the misinformation age. Also maybe your intuition tells you things, but reality is a tricky one, and things can be conterintuitive. Plus strong feelings and convictions. Either way it would be good to talk about. To see if it's an actual good idea. Its good for people to bring multiviews to the conversation. Humans have evolved to use that mechanism in the head to defend there point of view and see holes in the others arguments. So i realized a few things. Im wait for people to look at things differently, but honestly people would have to fight against there own grain, which we dont do enough. We see what we want to, and believe what gets use by. Reality in my head alignes well. It's been game over for awhile now. Its only a waiting game a long one for sure lol some people have a strong reaction to this type of stuff right off the bat, and see it as just plan evil and never look into mulitview points, so you stay stuck and will never be open to seeing in new ways. The poltical things happening now are a living example of that.
@@fishisnotfishfish2267 I understand what a bias is, but it's not the case. To make it short: the last thing we need is a world of acritical, alienated, hyperdigitalized kids in a corporate suit walking the earth. This is not a age of info/dis information; it's an age of utter ignorance, as the two basic principales of philosophy and religión (all of them) thought us: that freedom is the mother of morals, and that mortality, and the acceptance of it, is what gives us the possibility of a meaning. Pretty basic, but quite forgotten. This is an age of privilege, and a stone age of the soul.
@@mantralibre1367 We come from opposite ends, but its important to hear the other end. Im glade you at least consider what I said. It can be hard because everone on the internet thinks there right, and you can never win an argument. Fustrating lol im come back and read your comment again. Nowdays emotions run so high, we cant have a conversation or discussion. It's diffcult to know if where making the right choice , or if its right to go down a more complicated path, with great potential for good, but also greater draw backs and dark uses of these new technology. It complicates things. And know way are we gonna be able to see everthing. I agree scare stuff. And than you're taping into deep things like your immune system and disease. Materials that the body doesnt recognize as itsself so it attacks. Same can be said of are natural wiring it goes against it. We attack or are pulled away from things going under the skin, because are evolutionarily past with disease. And human disgusts, is something that evolved into are phychology. So i can say its natural the way most people feel about
Its terrible timing right now, but i can guarantee that we should have the discussion now, because there are great benefits, like greater health, greater capabilities, greater and deeper understanding of are selfs. But a darkside that is deeper too, and the world becomes more complicated, no more simple solutions, but deeper insights that may help with a path forward. If we dont discuss it now. It will creep up on everyone. And the darker and scarier things are provable to happen. So its kinda a responsibility to harm out the downsides now. Plus its kinda fun to imagine what could go wrong lol
I’m such a fan! Watched your stories on NatGeo on Lost Worlds. Love the LiDar technology you used. Can’t wait to see the rest of your episodes. Truly life changing. You Rock!!
The big question is “why”
Who wouldn't want to be an Iron Man?
Why?
Because flesh is weak and words aren't weapons. Words are cheap.
@@winstondejesus2645
If words is cheap, it wouldn't cost million death through Stalin and Hitler. Words need to be shot into minds, than the minds takes weapon
Winston Dejesus “flesh is weak” so it must be replaced? Sounds psychopathic
Wow

That's all I can express 👍
Thank You Kindly! I've experienced the drums.
It's like Robert Anton Wilson came back as an asian guy. Love it.
Title was misleading, had little to do with transhumanism. And at the end it was just some emotional trip.
We need less tech, not more.
These "problems" were solved largely by the original peoples.
We over complicate everything 🙄
More tech is beautiful.
I guess you never had a loved one saved by a defibrillator. Medication etc

I have bipolar and it is literally destroying lives hope a cure is found. Great talk albert
What causes bi polar? And when did it start showing up within the human species?
Hey misty cloud, I take NAC everyday look it up, I think 2 grams a day is suitable, make sure you eat it with food, and not drink alcohol
Adam the first man changed the course of evolving into the perfect image of God by disobedience. This is why there's death and sicknesses like bipolar.
The only remedy is to go back to the Creator through His Son, who bore our illnesses and burdens so we can be healed from them.
I have testimony about this. My own sister.
Accept the work Christ did on the cross for you be reconnected to God and get back to bring transformed your renewd mind
@Sgt. Willy Wonka what does NAC do
I was diagnosed with Major Depression, borderline bipolar...
NLP & taking control of the way you think, self love, awareness & acceptance... choosing to smile..
Acknowledge your emotion, thank it, then let it go... be present in the moment.... only remember good from yesterday and focus on a direction you want your future to head towards....
Gut health is also vital.... I take supplements over medical chemicals....
Best wishes!!
energy lives forever. no machine parts or computers necessary.
to help the disabled is one thing. to hook folks up to the net like a computer quite frankly is the dumbest thing I've heard yet. those who bank from it will certainly disagree.
Energy is liberated mass and mass is energy waiting to happen ... so no, you're wrong
Transhumanism is a futile pipe dream. I can't think of another way for Humanity to lose personal autonomy and Liberty by uploading a person's consciousness to the internet. Assuming that you could physically do that. This is a fever dream for totalitarians and mad scientists with a God complex.
Thanks for posting. Question is, what reality do we live in? I recently finished this book by Rabbi Dr. Shmuel Asher, Soul Revolution. It reveals science vs. religion, lost and hidden knowledge of the soul and your existence. I could not put it down. I found it on Amazon.
What about the soul?????
Wow

I wish they had talked about this on Netflix "filthy rich" about epstein
His is supplemented humanity - not augmented humanity.
Everyone should be excited for a transhumanist future. However, as a society, we should be aware of the double-edged nature of technology and should constantly advocate and push for technologies that benefit the majority, if not all, of humanity and not just the elite. Take time to actively research trends in technologies, donate money to groups that want to create technologies that will help the disabled.
No we shouldn't. It is not sustainable. Everyone should be happy to be what they are, Human.
Edit- people always think the grass is greener, ignoring human nature. Somethings have been the same since the dawn of time. We, at our core, within our nature are a hierarchical species.
@@nathanb5579 um no. I witnessed my aunt die from lung cancer last year and it was the most absolutely painful thing I’ve ever experienced. We are all destined to die some day if we don’t use technology to alter our biology. Whether that be upgrading our current biology or even removing ourselves from this organic flesh suit, I’m all for it. To say “Nah” yet at the same time use modern medicine if you get sick or get into an accident is hypocritical. If you stand by human nature, let yourself die the way nature destined you to die, please don’t use the same technology (medicine, biotech, tech in general) to prolong your life if you think we shouldn’t enhance our own lives for the better. I will not stand for “human nature” if all it imposes on us is suffering.
@@ches95ramos it is only natural to die. The quicker you get used to that idea, the quicker you can cope. You will be in a living hell if you allow yourself to be absorbed by the hive mind.
@@areyoujelton You act like it’s already happened. Everyone tries to act like they know the future. I’m advocating for a future with wellness, extreme longevity, and advanced biotechnology to expand our lifetimes for who knows how long. I like being alive. Just bc its “natural” to die, doesn’t make it right. Humans are a unique species because of our capability to think critically and recognize we are aware. If you don’t like that then go ahead and die when you’re older. I’m going to try my best not to. I don’t get why people romanticize death and growing old and frailer. I work in the ICU as an RN and every death has brought nothing but pain and suffering to my patients and their families. COVID, gunshot wounds, you name it. My patients have been in extreme amount of suffering and their families have grieved so hard they fainted. No, you can choose that fate. Im going to advocate for future technologies to enhance our primitive biology.

Anyone explain what Albert Lin wants to explain in simple words
Is it just me or did he spend the entire time waffling and saying almost nothing about transhumanism?
This had nothing to do with transhumanism... You mentioned it in the beginning, and even admitted that you had no idea what it was... Then went on to talk about prosthetics, altered states of consciousness, finishing with your meeting a shaman and relating the drum beat to the heartbeat, which yes, is a common occurrence for humans world wide... You did not speak about the dangers of cybernetics technology, you did not touch on the future of genetic engineering and the possibilities therein, you did not discuss A.I. involvement with human development, you did not really even talk about technology though you did mention it... I don't really understand what the point of this short talk was or why the comments are praising you based on work you've done, which is basically all you talked about; your personal experiences, none of which had anything to do with transhumanism as a philosophical concept and the many branches of it...
Contemplating cat... I'm so glad I found your comment as I trawled through the endless acolytes blurbing on in acceptance to the nice guy.
Everything you said was exactly what I was thinking too. This guy's hubris is always to the forefront and I feel that's terrible when you purport to be discussing the subject of transhumanism.
I guess this is the world we live in, people pontificating to us who themselves had to Google a subject before presenting their ego.
Glad there's some sane folks out there. 👍
Gengish Khan created the largest human empire ? Vvtf is that...
he conquered and had many children
No.
Personally I wouldn't make Genghis Khan a meme for the trans-humanist role model. I am sure by the end of your journey Albert Lin is a batter role model than the demagogues of the inhumane classical world.
you missed the point
This is always the catch...some sad and tragic condition coupled with angst and worries and emotions . Lastly you end up in hell because these snake oil salesmen lied through their teeth from the very beginning.
couldn't have said it better.
Exactly.

I don't care what you guys say about what side the devil is on. All I want to know is what side YOU are on. The "natural" side or the "unnatural" side, because I'm pretty sure that a lot of you who believe this is "Satanic," that we shouldn't mess with the natural order, in reality hate nature. So be honest if the world was split in two which side would you be on: The flower, tree, loving "hippie" side, or the pro-technology anti-nature side. Both have been labelled as "Satanic" in the past, but deciding on one or the other is the true war that's occurring right now. Please be honest this time. Which side are you on? You clearly can't be on both.
Dunno about being a hippie, but normal life 🤨😂
I'm on both.
I'm on the side of death giving us the possibility of a meaning. Eternity is the absolute absence of self. We'de just be walking, idiotic egos. No, thanks.
I'd rather choose not to be conceived.
I dont care what is considered satanic. I only care about what I do because we all have our own paths. Doesn't mean I won't speak my opinion on things though. My opinion is we are what we are. If it can't be sustained naturally, it's not real. Human nature is human nature. No technology will change that.

Honestly the christians complaining here should really stop as god wouldn't be mad at us since he gave us a brain & the curiosity to transform ourselves.
I'm agnostic but grew up in a Christian household. But uh your like bastardizing the Bible bruh. The apple eve bit was of "knowledge". Not debating on religion being real or not. Just stating that this statement is ignorant to their beliefs.

Maybe he is. Wish he would speak to me tho. I dont trust faith except for those I truly know. Jesus... I do not know him. Regardless of the book.
Those who reject the Truth (the Way, the Truth and the Life, Jesus Christ) don't recognize demon possession when it's right in front of them. What a devil satan is.
If only we actually knew what exactly Jesus was trying to teach us. Unfortunately it's all just guesses
Then don’t use medicines
This is some nonsense.
bs
It's called daemonism; the shaman called on dark spiritual powers and was possessed by them. As for "dying to your ego" Jesus Christ called on all who wanted to follow Him to do just that, "deny themselves and follow Him. "Listening your heart"? God says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it?:
I guess this is called grooming , getting people used to a word we will somehow accept as normal .
Not sure why Kaitlin picked you, maybe should should have picked some who can actually give a speech to try and sell this BS! And don't bring shamanism into this to push transhumanism. Talk about an oxymoron!😂
