My friend Giulio Priscol recently published the book Tales of the Turing Church: Hacking Religion, Enlightening Science, Awakening Technology. Giulio is one of the longtime leaders of spiritual #transhumanism, and he was instrumental in helping to popularize The Transhumanist Wager. Some of my work is discussed in his new book in Chapter 8. Give it a read!

update

The last few years have been an exciting time for me, as I emerged a visible figure in the quickly growing transhumanism movement. I’ve been grateful and honored for a role in helping to shape the future of science and technology for humanity. During some of the last two years, I also ran as an endorsed Libertarian Party 2018 gubernatorial candidate in California. I was excited to spread many ideas of liberty to millions of people during the campaign. While I believe in many liberty-minded ideas, the Libertarian Party is currently not for me, so a few months ago I left it, and I’m no longer a member. There are some very good people in the party, and I thank those who took time to listen to my ideas and supported my gubernatorial campaign. Because I’m getting asked quite a bit by press and supporters whether I was going to run for the Libertarian Party nomination for 2020 US President, I wanted to make this public statement stating I no longer belonged to the party and wasn’t planning on running in 2020 for the LP. Wishing everyone a successful 2019.

I'm still belatedly doing a recap of some of my important 2018 #transhumanism articles (this is the last one to share). This story started a lot of conversations, so it's worth a reread: https://mavenroundtable.io/transhuman...
