Co-organized by the Future Grind podcast, the Nevada Transhumanist Party, and magician Anastasia Synn (who recently testified in opposition to Assembly Bill 226 at the Nevada Senate Judiciary Committee), the Cyborg and Transhumanist Forum will feature practical demonstrations of emerging technologies, such as implantable microchips, in order to dispel common fears and myths about those technologies and educate the public about their capabilities and limitations. Also, the event will feature a discussion of technological augmentations, transhumanist philosophy, the uses of technology to overcome disabilities and extend longevity and health, the directions of technological evolution in the coming decades, and the policy implications stemming from these developments.
Most of the event will be in a conversational format as participants will interact with visitors and answer their questions. Visitors are welcome to come and go at their convenience.
