Many people dislike this article of mine, but every time I read it, it makes quite a bit of sense to me, as it aims to preserve and maximize life, prosperity, and freedom while contending with polar opposite political realities. Some of the story's main points: compassion to refugees but firm committment they must contribute to society if let in; create bipartisan solutions on immigration with radical technology; understand that immigration will change dramatically (and maybe mostly end) in the future due to automation; realize that the divide between rich and poor is increasing and pre-emptive measures need to be considered to avoid mass revolution and civil strife: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-...

The future of immigration? Always remember, beyond the headlines, it's about the economy. Follow the money and and more than likely you'll find the truth. I'm not here choosing sides, but telling you about motives. Most institutions you know will be changi

The future of immigration? Always remember, beyond the headlines, it's about the economy. Follow the money and and more than likely you'll find the truth. I'm not here choosing sides, but telling you about motives. Most institutions you know will be changing soon. http://www.express.co.uk/news/science... #immigration #jobs

A very interesting story by Maureen Seaberg, co-author of the popular book Struck by Genius: How a Brain Injury Made Me Into a Mathamatical Marvel. I'm quoted near the end of this Psychology Today story: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/...

Friends and transhumanists, the next 6 weeks presents a very unique opportunity for transhumanism to grow into a mainstream movement. I’m aware of a number of the world's most important publications soon to be covering it. As a result, I encourage all of you that are in leadership and public positions to temper your political perspectives and posts in social media (whatever side they fall on), and instead to focus on pushing life extension and transhumanist themes forward. We should strive to show that we are united by our aims and love of radical science and technology, and not divided by politics. If pursued correctly, #transhumanism can grow into a multi-billion person movement that will ensure global prosperity, protect liberties, and eliminate biological death and most suffering of humanity. Thanks for considering this! And please let others know. #future
