A NOTE FROM DR. J.

Crazy time. I’m so euphoric from the outcome of the election, and excited (and anxious) to see how Obama charts his course in these challenging times.

I’m heading out Thursday for our seminar on Global Catastrophics Risks this coming Friday in Mountain View California:

http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/eventinfo/ieet20081114/

Jamais, George, Mike Treder and I will be speaking at that event.

Then two days at the Convergence08 Futurepalooza (also in Mountain View), where Mike, Silke, Ben Goertzel and I will be speaking in various workshops. My agenda for the meeting is to brainstorm with folks about how technoprogressives can begin seriously promoting policy alternatives in this new, much more receptive, environment.

Then off to Santa Cruz to give a talk, and back home to start serious work on the backlog of IEET projects, especially Cyborg Buddha book and the BuddhaDharma 2.0 conference, and the conference on popular culture next summer in Scotland.

I’m having great fun teaching a course on “Happiness and Public Policy”
at Trinity. Let me know if you’d like the syllabus and course materials.
Also brainstorming with Trinity College faculty about how to build a bioethics program at the school.

Hope you are all doing well and braced for the coming economic hurricane. Be fearless, and remember that Yes We Can!

J.

ARTICLES

George Dvorsky: An Obama reality check (Nov 7, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/dvorsky20081107/
Before my readers conclude that I’ve completely lost it over Obama I figured it’s time I say something a bit more critical about the situation in the U.S. and the incoming administration.

Mike Treder: Limits to Growth? (Nov 7, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/treder20081107/
Do the current economic slowdown, the dwindling of fossil fuels, and the looming disasters of climate change mean we should aspire to a new steady state economic model, instead of the growth-based economics of the past? Or do emerging technologies like nanotechnology offer a third alternative, a growing and sustainable economy?

Doug Rushkoff: Anticipating President Obama (Nov 6, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/rushkoff20081106/
Though I share in the jubilation at Obama’s election, I find I’m also a bit guarded. Holding back, as if afraid to get “fooled again” by the promise of new leadership.

Charlie Stross: Charlie’s Wish List (Nov 6, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/stross20081106/
Playing fantasy politics - as opposed to fantasy football - is a mug’s game. However, for what it’s worth (not much), and speaking for those of us who aren’t Americans, here’s my top ten list of things I’d like see from the Obama administration in the first 100 days, and consider to be not-totally-impossible.

George Dvorsky: Republican calls for Palin in 2012 reveal a deep malaise (Nov 6, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/dvorsky20081106/
A mere one day after the election, a number of Republicans are encouraging Sarah Palin to prepare for the 2012 presidential run. Rush Limbaugh has gone so far as to call her “The next Ronald Reagan.”

J. Hughes: Libertopian Doublethink on the Singularity (Oct 27, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/hughes20081027/
Boy, Marshall sure stirred the pot at the Singularity Summit this weekend. Apparently you are allowed to opine that super-robots will either bring us a perfect world free from want, or possibly wipe us off the map. But if you suggest that we might need social policies to ensure our economic welfare when robots take most of the jobs then you are a socialist throwback unaware that free markets have always solved the structural unemployment problems of the past.

Mike Treder: Underrating the Mid-Range (Oct 18, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/treder20081018/
You’ve probably heard the dictum that most people expect too much change in the short term and too little change in the long term. That has been true generally, I think, and it may be why we hear complaints about ‘No flying cars yet!’ and so on.

Jamais Cascio: Resilience and the Next Disaster (Oct 16, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/cascio20081016/
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, have friends or loved ones who do, or simply enjoy the various products and services to be found around these parts, take heed:
When the Big One hits, it won’t be pretty.

George Dvorsky: Humans have not stopped evolving (Oct 15, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/dvorsky20081014/
Steve Jones, head of the department of genetics, evolution and environment at the University College London, says the forces driving evolution, such as natural selection and genetic mutation, “no longer play an important role in our lives.”

Silke Fauve: Longevity Dividend Through Anti-Aging, Not “Entitlement Reform” (Oct 8, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/fauve20081007/
A study published in this week’s Nature magazine reveals that the likelihood that a senior citizen will be so disabled that they require high-cost nursing and medical care is fairly constant up till age 100.
In other words, increased longevity will not drive up costs related to disability and dependency. But with progress supporting healthy aging with longevity therapies seniors could live even healthier and more able lives. Silke Fauve considers the demographic and economic arguments against increasing longevity.

Charlie Stross: The bumpy ride hits toytown (Oct 7, 2008) http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/stross20081005/
Okay, hang onto your hats. We’re clearly in for a bumpy ride over the next couple of years; even discounting the worst-case scenarios (I’m a happy pessimist: I always need something to worry about) it looks like we’re in for a recession that will be at least as bad as the 1990-92 one, and possibly much worse.

Marshall Brain: How the Keating scandal worked (Oct 7, 2008)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/brain20081005/
In the 1980s, the savings and loan meltdown produced a number of amazing
stories of greed and fraud. The Keating scandal, involving Lincoln
Savings and Loan, was one of the biggest.

Jamais Cascio: All distant problems are not created equally (Oct 7,
2008)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/cascio20081005/
By definition, distant (long-term) problems are those that show their
real impact at some point in the not-near future; arbitrarily, we can
say five or more years, but many of them won’t have significant effects
for decades. Our habit, and the institutions we’ve built, tend to look
at long-term problems as more-or-less identical: Something big will
happen later. For the most part, we simply wait until the long-term
becomes the near-term before we act.

Doug Rushkoff: No Money Down (Oct 4, 2008)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/rushkoff20081004/
The mortgage and credit crisis wasn’t merely predictable; it was
predicted. It all started to make sense to me when I attended Learning
Annex’s Wealth Expo earlier this year. These courses all promised to
teach the properly motivated American how to find homeowners down on
their luck and approaching foreclosure, as well as how to buy those
homes from under them and resell them at a great profit. What made the
spectacle doubly outrageous were not the dancing girls or indoor
fireworks; it was the fact that most of the participants were themselves
desperate former homeowners, whose illnesses, divorces, fires, and
floods had put them in to foreclosure, too. Get it? They were paying to
learn how to feed on people just like themselves.

Bioethics, Law, Evolution and the Future (11/09)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/csr20081108/
Dr. J. chats first with Judge Barry Schaller, author of Understanding
Bioethics and the Law The Promises and Perils of the Brave New World of
Biotechnology. Judge Schaller serves on the Connecticut Supreme Court.
Then a chat with George Hart, author of Evolution and the Future of
Humanity: Homo Sapiens’ Galactic Future.

How Nanotechnology Works (11/07)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/brain20081107/
In this HowStuffWorks podcast, Marshall Brain discusses the
possibilities of nanotechnology, a multi-disciplinary study dealing with
the manipulation of matter less than one billionth of a meter wide.

Will Blackberrys Alter the Brains of Future Generations? (10/31)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/seti0810/
We’ve all descended from a common ancestor, but, as Homo sapiens, we no
longer brachiate through trees and have long abandoned our stone tools
for Blackberrys and iPods. Evolution has shaped us into the big-brained,
bipedal, text-messaging specimens we are today. But it didn’t happened
without a lot of pressure. SETI Radio takes a look at some of the forces
that have driven human evolution - from the snake-phobia that sharpened
our eyesight, to the anger-management that was a prerequisite for
civilization.

Waiting for the Great Leap...Forward? (10/22)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/hughesss07/
J. Hughes’ talk at the Singularity Summit 2007.

The Death of the Market Cult (10/13)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/klein20081010/
As the world reels from the financial crisis on Wall Street and the
taxpayer-funded $700 billion bailout, we spend the hour with Naomi Klein
on the economy, politics and “disaster capitalism.” The Shock Doctrine
author recently spoke at the University of Chicago to oppose the
creation of an economic research center named after the University’s
most famous economist, Milton Friedman. Klein says Friedman’s economic
philosophy championed the kind of deregulation that led to the current
crisis.

Future Bioethics (10/13)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/csr20081011/
Dr. J. chats with Ron Lindsay Ph.D., J.D., author of Future Bioethics,
and director of the Center for Inquiry, a humanist thinktank. We talk
about stem cells, biopolitics under the Obama administration, and
whether we should be able to torture aliens. (MP3)

Zardoz: Ur-Man v. Posthuman Head (10/09)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/zardoz/
Sean Connery in the awesome biocon dystopian classic Zardoz.

Lesbionic Woman, a Technoprogressive Cyborg (10/04)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/lwatc08/
Something we see little of in pop culture, but that certainly fits with
the “queering” nature of transformative technologies and the sexy
transgressiveness of the cyborg.

What We Could Do With A Trillion Dollars (10/04)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/boms08/
AGIT-POP Communications is an award-winning net-roots subvertising
agency. We deliver cutting edge flash animation, on-line video & virals,
and boots-on-the-ground guerrilla marketing to progressive campaigns.

The Erotic of the Machine (10/02)
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/more/vb20081002/
America’s leading (very) public intellectual sexologist, Violet Blue,
spoke on having sex with machines at Arse Elektronika 2008. She also
wrote about the topic in her column in the San Francisco Chronicle and
on her Tiny Nibbles blog NSFW.
