  • The American Dream has become a death sentence of drudgery, consumerism, and fatalism: a garage sale where the best of the human spirit is bartered away for comfort, obedience and trinkets. It's unequivocally absurd.

  • It amazes me that we spend 20% of the US budget on defense and far-off wars, and not on fighting cancer, disease, and aging.

  • Frederick Nietzsche was important to me, in teaching that it's okay to strive to improve the human being.

  • My goal is to try to tell the public that America could use more science and technology in all aspects of its life.

  • Transhumanism literally means "beyond human." It's using science and technology to radically change and improve the human species and experience.

  • We didn't evolve through billions of years to remain animals.

  • Science and technology can solve all the world's problems, and historically it has been shown to make the world better and better.

  • TEF is predicated on logic, a simple wager that every human faces: If a reasoning human being loves and values life, they will want to live as long as possible-the desire to be immortal. Nevertheless, it's impossible to know if they're going to be immortal once they die. To do nothing doesn't help the odds of attaining immortality-since it seems evident that everyone will die someday and possibly cease to exist. To try to do something scientifically constructive towards ensuring immortality beforehand is the most logical conclusion.

  • Transhumanist technology will do much for the world that the world can't really imagine yet, including overcome some of the climate issues the world is facing.
