It strikes me as insane. The notion of coupling the immense hubris and monopolar conceptualization of the human future, with the idea that it's pathetic scientific undertakings can offer a framework for the 'advancement' of mankind.
We are, as I understand it, talking about marrying 'technology,' that stumbling, clumsy application of ingenuity, to 'biology' that body of knowledge which we have barely begun to understand well enough to model.
Yeah... this one goes right up there with eugenics, and the proto-fascism of 'social' engineering.
I will be attending this closely, as it is usually within the 'new' ideas foisted by these 'thinkers' that they offer a true glimpse of their love affair with the status quo and their place in it.
By the way...
Technology doesn't 'evolve'... we do.
Digital technology is a compromise with reality... reality is not "one's and zeros."
The pronouncement that humans are just biological "systems" is another form of compromise...
