Great story in Politico Magazine on #transhumanism and a future AI President. My direct digital democracy ideas and others are mentioned: "Istvan, for one, envisions regular national elections, in which voters would decide on the robot’s priorities and how it should come out on moral issues like abortion; the voters would then have a chance in the next election to change those choices. The initial programming of the system would no doubt be controversial, and the programmers would probably need to be elected, too. All of this would require amending the Constitution, Istvan acknowledges." http://www.politico.com/magazine/stor...

A new 55-min documentary that came out on European TV features biohackers and cyborgs. A section is dedicated to the Immortality Bus and my #transhumanism work. I think the YouTube version allows you to watch the video with English subtitles: https://youtu
