The first reaction to the possibility of immortality: “We can’t become immortal – we will overpopulate”. This article proposes that the response should instead be, “Okay, then we need to make sure we are prepared for the increasing population”.
Wake up Neo: Realistic Reasons we could be in a Simulated Reality

Let’s think about nationalism (Trump & Brexit) and the destructive path it’s leading us on
How Cancer will be Cured by Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is developing fast! It’s already taking its first jabs at cancer, and all of the research ongoing tells us to be optimistic that just maybe a cure for cancer is within sight, and maybe only 15 years away. Thinking big is old school.
Advancing Technologies will make Everything Everyone’s Problem
Nationalism is thriving throughout the world, and its selfish ignorance will lead to our destruction. Here we explain why advancing technologies will lead to mass destruction, if we don’t learn to cooperate and realise that everything is everyone’s problem.
Transhumanists Beware! Your Ideology is Being Hijacked
