An argument that achieving millennial life spans or monumental intellects will destroy values that give meaning to human lives. Proposals to make us smarter than the greatest geniuses or to add thousands of years to our life spans seem fit only for the spam folder or trash can. And yet this is what contemporary advocates of radical enhancement offer in all seriousness. They present a variety of technologies and therapies that will expand our capacities far beyond what is currently possible for human beings. In Humanity's End, Nicholas Agar argues against radical enhancement, describing its destructive consequences. Agar examines the proposals of four prominent radical enhancers: Ray Kurzweil, who argues that technology will enable our escape from human biology; Aubrey de Grey, who calls for anti-aging therapies that will achieve “longevity escape velocity”; Nick Bostrom, who defends the morality and rationality of enhancement; and James Hughes, who envisions a harmonious democracy of the enhanced and the unenhanced. Agar argues that the outcomes of radical enhancement could be darker than the rosy futures described by these thinkers. The most dramatic means of enhancing our cognitive powers could in fact kill us; the radical extension of our life span could eliminate experiences of great value from our lives; and a situation in which some humans are radically enhanced and others are not could lead to tyranny of posthumans over humans.

Een collectie van 30 mythes over het einde van de mensheid, verzameld door Mineke Schipper. De Amerikaans-Japanse kunstenares Yuriko Yamaguchi verbeeldde de wanhoop én de hoop die de verhalen van over de hele wereld kenmerken. 00Long before scholars started wondering and worrying about The End, storytellers provided their own answers in myths. How long?will?people?be?allowed to?continue?handling the earth and their fellow men without respect, before the gods are going to intervene? And what will happen?to us humans? Will fire from heaven set our earth ablaze? Will a pandemic break out? Or will we all be drowned?00This book by Mineke Schipper inspired Yuriko Yamaguchi to create a series of art works depicting both the growing despair and the ultimate hope conveyed by these thrilling stories from all over the globe. A book about our worrisome world with encouraging echoes of hope.00Mineke Schipper is Emeritus Professor of Intercultural Literary Studies at Leiden University of and the author of academic books, literary essays and novels, including 'Never Marry a Woman with Big Feet.?Proverbs about Women from Around the World', and 'Naked or Covered, A History of Dressing and Undressing Around the World'. 00Yuriko Yamaguchi is a Japanese-American artist and sculptor, residing in the US. Her works have been exhibited in the US, Japan and Europe. "I found my purpose in creating works that remind people we are all connected in many overlapping webs (?) family origin, economic stressors, religious beliefs, nature, time, place and technology."

We thought we knew. We thought we had the answers. But we were wrong. We were wrong about everything. In this gripping tale, Present and Future collide as our search for the truth, reveals something far beyond anything we ever thought possible. The Present unravels as an Astronomer and his son seek to find answers to an anomaly that appears in the night sky, threatening to destroy the earth. What first was thought of as a terrorist attack turns out to be one of the biggest threats humanity has ever seen. As they work with a special military task force, the world is thrown into chaos. A mysterious stranger from another time arrives who may have answers, but will it be enough? Time runs out and all of humanity hangs in the balance. The Future, where the light of prosperity has pushed humanity to great heights, is about to be consumed by a darkness that seeks to devour all of life. It threatens not just the future but existence itself throughout all of time. A mysterious signal has been discovered that originates at the edge of the solar system. A discovery that forces humanity to end its conflict because they realized that they were no longer alone in the universe. They work together to reach the source, to find out who or what is at the other end. What they find is not what they expected. A being from their past seeks to end their future and wipe out their present. As the future and the past collide, can humanity find a way to move beyond the limitations that have blinded it for so long? Can they discover the truth hidden in the darkness and break free or is humanitys fate bound to that of Eternitys End?

For nearly eight decades of life, I have not witnessed a single change in the nature of humans but recognize that all humans possess the same cognitive "traits and characteristics" differentiated only by scale or degree. Environment and opportunity influence these (not nature). Briefly, this book was prompted by what I would refer to as the audacity of modernity. That is that is that somehow, modern conveniences including technology has rewarded the current generation superior to all that came before. In this writing, we will see that changing one's circumstances without a change of heart is a fool's errand. "Francesco Sardina has done a masterful job of summarizing and evaluating 6000 years of human history from the Garden of Eden to our world of COVID-19. The book is philosophical and reflective (good for us seniors) and requires us to put on our thinking caps as we read. It's an up-to-date critique of modern day society as well as ancient societies. The author notes that as a pattern nations rise and fall throughout time, and warns us that the US is no exception. In fact he shows that in spite of scientific and technological advances even now the US is showing definite signs of decline. He implies that unless we want to repeat history, we should put our houses in order and return to the basics. We should choose 'truth, goodness and beauty' over 'power mongering, sexual incontinence and treasure hoarding'. Without being pushy, the author recommends that we as a nation return to the 'virtues of honesty and integrity given in the Christian Bible'. The first half of the book covers world history from 4000 BC. The second half begins in 1940 and brings us up to the present. Skillfully woven are comments about the author's own biography. I came away thinking that this book is a must read for all members of our US Congress, as well as for all those of us concerned with the current direction of our nation. I found it rewarding to read and highly recommend it to you." -Dr. Ronald L. Trail "It took me about two months of reading on and off, but I finished reading your book "Stop! Humanity's Roots Live" this afternoon. My daughter Lisa bought a copy from Amazon after I mentioned to her that my best man from 42 years ago was now an accomplished author. She read your book cover-to-cover before leaving it with me as a gift. When I asked her how she liked it, she refused to answer and just said I needed to read it myself and make my own decision unbiased by her opinion. What a read! I must admit that early on, my expectations were mediocre at best. But it took a bit of time for me to be comfortable with your grammar and writing style (which admittedly was a bit above my pay grade). But as I got into the meat of your narrative, I absolutely enjoyed reading your book. I especially enjoyed your discussion about the "makers" and "takers" since I have thought similarly for quite some time. Many of your personal stories were familiar to me, having known you during your transition period from city slicker to farmer and land owner; however, you provided details heretofore unknown to me that occasionally brought a tear to my eye. One such detail involved early struggles with your "affliction," and another being the enduring love, motivation and support from your beautiful wife Connie. The sequence of events expounded upon on a decade-by-decade basis was easy to follow and informative to boot. Harmony ... we could use a bit more of that in our daily lives for sure. Nice job!" -Life-long distant friend, Russ Anderson

It's 2036. The end of human civilization on planet Earth has been announced as 2088 due to catastrophic Climate Change. People panic, world economies collapse, and anarchy prevails. The world has been struggling as is, since the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020 and the subsequent social revolution that followed. It's been years of civil unrest, riots, and economic struggle, and people are tired. Governments attempt to regain control through tight austerity measures that fail, resulting in a mass exodus of city professionals to rural Gaia Settlements. President Madeline Borgory, leader of the newly formed United Southern States, creates a sinister two-step plan to save herself and other world leaders. Firstly, create an occupation-intelligence chip, that when implanted into the human brain, has the power to stabilize economies and replace gaps in the workforce. Secondly, get herself and world leaders to Home Base on Mars. Can she get Mason Manning, Founder of Home Base, to join her in the last attempt to save humanity? What will happen when human beings remember who they are? Is humanity capable of saving itself, or will 2088 be the end?

Humanity’s endgame was only the beginning for me. Aliens ended life as we know it on Earth. Not on purpose I should add, though that didn’t matter to the billions who died. But it turned out, in some respects, surviving was even worse. My family used to say good thing I was pretty. In case you were wondering, it didn’t help when the end of the world arrived. Alone, and afraid, somehow, I managed to hold on. Foraging for supplies. Eking out a hidden existence. Avoiding the mutants that emerged after the alien plague. I’d resigned myself to dying alone, which was when I literally fell into Xavion’s arms. And I managed to find love in the apocalypse. genre: apocalypse romance, end of the world romance, action and adventure romance, first contact, alien invasion, futuristic romance

An urgent plea for a broader understanding and awareness of the unconsidered dangers of new genetic technologies Since 2010 it has been possible to determine a person’s genetic makeup in a matter of days at an accessible cost for many millions of people. Along with this technological breakthrough there has emerged a movement to use this information to help prospective parents “eliminate preventable genetic disease.” As the prospect of systematically excluding the appearance of unwanted mutations in our children comes within reach, David B. Goldstein examines the possible consequences from these types of choices. Engaging and accessible, this clarion call for responsible and informed stewardship of the human genome provides an overview of what we do and do not know about human genetics and looks at some of the complex, yet largely unexplored, issues we must be most careful about as we move into an era of increasing numbers of parents exercising direct control over the genomes of their children.
