Exciting news today: The Stanford Transhumanist Association has put together a debate between John Zerzan and myself, to be held at Stanford University on Saturday, Nov 15th at 7PM. Zerzan is a leading anti-technology philosopher, known broadly for his writings, ties to the Unabomber, and his role in the Seattle Riots. We'll be debating the benefits of technology (and transhumanism). The event will also have a networking component after the debate. It's free to the public, and will likely be a big event, so come check it out. http://events.stanford.edu/events/470...

A cool new book by Jamie Bartlett (Telegraph journalist) called "The Dark Net" (Published by Random House Group) is now out. Its closing chapter is called "Zoltan vs Zerzan," and it pits transhumanism vs primitivism (John Zerzan is one of the leading anti-civilization philosophers that I'll soon be debating at Stanford U). I just got my copy of the book. Here's the Amazon link: http://amzn.to/1ouHAHp and here's the Stanford debate link: http://events.stanford.edu/events/470...

Free Radical Radio did an interview with John Zerzan on the debate we had at Stanford University. Transhumanism and myself get bashed a bit, as it's the anarchist take on things. However, I listened to the first 25 minutes and it was interesting: https://archive.org/details/FRR63
