BB buddy Ken Goffman (aka RU Sirius) was recently interviewed by a transhumanist magazine.
"I don't embrace any belief systems. I'm a fuzzy believer. I might say that I 95% believe that humans will achieve a lifespan beyond the current biological limits; I 50% believe that this will work out well on a social-political level; I 95% believe that we will get really precise control over our minds and moods; I 60% believe that the future of most of humanity is pretty well fucked; I 10% believe that something very much like the singularity will actually occur; I 1% believe that it will happen in my lifetime."
He also talks a bit about his new book, "Counterculture Through the Ages," due out in November. Friends who have read it tell me that it's a brilliant, even scholarly, work. RU's star is absolutely rising again.
