Summary
Zoltan Istvan author of "The Transhumanist Wager", is in Grimerica to chat about all things transhumant. He's an adventurer, volcano boarder, journalist, writer, activist, graduate, and now into politics. What else do we need to say, there is much to talk about here.
The guys chat about virtual reality, simulation theory, halo goggles, medical and energy breakthroughs and much more. How will technology help and change our society for the better. Our two main concerns are addressed in here by Zoltan. How will running a political party called "The Transhumanist Party" help bring awareness to our fledgling governments and the public at large?
