Podcast #16: Options for Future Human Evolution

“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?”–Milton Berle

“There are no shortcuts in evolution.”–Louis Brandeis

Milton Berle was simply funny; Louis Brandeis is about to be proven wrong. Humanity is on the cusp of a new era, full of promise and peril. We are on the verge of directing our own evolution, and when that comes, it will come at a breakneck pace. Breakthroughs in biotech and info-tech are rapidly hurtling us towards an age of self-directed evolution. It will be change by choice, not by chance. What are those choices, and how will we deal with them? How will it change what it means to be human? That is the subject of a forthcoming book by futurist Linda Groff, who joins me as my guest on this episode of Seeking Delphi.™
