This movement sounds interesting, it's the first time I have heard it mentioned (thanks Objection). Is transhumanism only related to artificial implants that make humans more enhanced or does it also include futuristic drugs that could enhance our strength/mental ability?

Hello all, just signed up to Atheist Nexus. I'm curious to get your thoughts on Jacque Fresco and his Venus Project. How realistic is his proposed solution? Personally, I have my reservations but it's definitely an idyllic system if it were feasible.

his idea's are definitely amazing, as for if they can be applied in out life time its doubtful but its definitely worth a try. Thanks for bringing the Venus project to my attention, i hadn't heard of it prior to your mention

Hey everyone! I had a chance to spend some time at the Singularity University this past summer at Nasa Ames, it was a thrilling experience, my brother was a teaching fellow there for a time. The idea of the Singularity and human augmentation is fascinating to me, and a lot closer to reality than many would imagine.

Fresco effectively voices what I've always believed myself, particularly with respect to the impossibility of reconciling today's monetary system and profit-based economy with a bright future for humanity. Unfortunately, I don't think the world is ready for such a paradigm shift and I can't realistically see that change any time soon. He is very much ahead of his time.

If you're interested in Fresco and his Venus project you might also want to check out the EOS (European Organisation for Sustainability). It's a European non-profit research organisation based in Sweden but with membership open to non-European citizens too.

Death of a family member
Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 6:15pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
