  <description>This is one of Scott’s favorite topics! He has been studying and talking about transhumanism for over a decade and it is time to take this concept more mainstream so we can prepare for the outcome. Our technology tools are becoming more powerful each year and with the advent of powerful robotics and AI, we will soon (historically speaking) have the ability to power our lives and capabilities far past previous generations. At some point, we will no longer be Homo Sapien, we will be a new species that is dimensionally more capable and powerful. We will not be cyborgs, we will humans who are boosted with tools that cause us to be H+. If you have not listened to the previous podast (The Singularity: A Better Definition) please listen to that one first because the Singularity and Transhumanism go together in ways you will learn.

Machine Learning enables a computer to learn without being explicitly programmed or supervised on every step, meaning that they can identify patterns on their own without needing a human programmer's input.

In the US, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millenials have increasingly developed lives that have serious emotional, physical and mental difficulties. Younger generations are facing a world where so much of what should be balanced well is painfully off kilter, and dealing with this in incredibly innovative ways.

  <description>World-renowned technology expert and speaker Scott Klososky discusses the possibilities and opportunities of awakening and embracing Digital Transformation. It is seductive to fear the future because we are biologically programmed to look for danger. This natural impulse is enabled by popular media.
However, this podcast is meant to awaken a sense of hope for a bright Humalogy™ future. With a more expansive view of the facts, history has proven that humanity constantly progresses.
Technology is increasing the speed at which we experience this beneficial progression.
