I will be speaking on transhumanism and atheism at this 1-day conference in Oakland in a week's time. The speaker line-up is rather fascinating, and there should be lots of fireworks in the discussions and presentations.

I recently did a 90-min interview by popular alternative site Red Ice Creations (via journalist Henrik Palmgren) on "The Transhumanist Wager," transhumanism, and other futurist/philosophical topics. Red Ice Radio has a base of listeners between 50,000 and 400,000, and they were kind enough to make the second half of the interview for free to their non-subscribers, which is something they usually don't do. They don't look very fondly on transhumanism or my controversial book, so the interview has some spice to it. http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/...

"Transhumanist Wager" wine coming in 2015

I'm happy to report that my small vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina was harvested this week. In 2015 I plan to bottle a Malbec/Cab combo under the "Transhumanist Wager" label. I'm aiming for about 5000 bottles to start with. One main goal with it would be to enter various wine competitions around the world with it, spreading a pro-transhumanist message.
