It's a big week for #transhumanism and life extension in #Italy. One of the most popular shows on Italian public television channel Rai3 (with abt 7% of country's viewers) is releasing a documentary on the subject tomorrow. Here Vanity Fair Italia with 1.5 million likes, writes about the show, my work (and Governor run), and many others in transhumanism. This article appears to be in this month's #Italian print Vanity Fair magazine too. https://www.vanityfair.it/mybusiness/...

My California Governor's forum yesterday in Sacramento State University went well. People were very receptive of my mix of left-leaning #libertarian and #transhumanism views. It appears lots of people are upset with how California is currently being run and are serious about change and new visions. More and more people get my basic income plan (Federal Land Dividend) that doesn't raise taxes and actually shrinks government bureaucracy. I'll have some video/pics of the event soon. In the meantime, here's a photo of me and my daughter walking away after the event!

With yesterday's terrible shooting tragedy, I'm hearing lots of calls for more gun control to reduce violence in the US. But that's essentially impossible to accomplish. There are 300 million guns in America. Congress faces a statistical impossibility to make a real dent in gun control and possession (politicians saying otherwise are playing you for votes--the gov is not going to go house to house to collect guns). HOWEVER, better ways to combat terrorism and gun violence could be achieved through better medicine and figuring out better ways to keep wounded peope alive. We should focus our energy and science money on treating trauma victims (and also on prevention of mental disease and sociopaths). Also, drones can be designed to seek out shooters in public places in 30 seconds and stop what they're doing (instead of letting them shoot for 10 minutes). Why don't major public venues and events have them yet? Ask you government? Demand better responses so our society is safer. Also, entreprenuers, get out there and do something about this. Hotels would pay big money for see-through-wall technology that would alert staff that someone has 20 weapons in a room. Lots of this tech is already here. All these terrorism and gun violence issues can be best figured out by tech and science. Stop sending prayers, and instead send some engineers and technologists to solve the problems. This tragic ongoing violence will continue until tech and science solves it. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/ar...
