For those who were critical, keep a few things in mind. Namely, I am not regularly interviewed. This isn’t a topic I discuss often anymore, since I moved away from my brother. There is a very small community of transhumanists (or even those open minded to the concept) in Santa Cruz, being populated mainly by eccentric artists, hippies, and other such types. As a result, my opinions and views are disappointingly disorganized. We were just mouthing off for two hours there, and it was cut into these three short segments. I should be more careful in the future, because i’d have preferred my casual chat about my ex’s to be cut from the record, than used for ironic comedy.

Secondly, Rene and Megan Daalder provoked me a bit with their questions about life extension, leading me to gain a haughty and ignorant attitude (I can’t abide the thought of people dying as often as they do each day without getting a bit frustrated). But I defend that my perspective was still refreshing: I speak without an agenda, clear of rhetoric and esoteric data, in an innocent, “how could someone possibly dislike the idea of human enhancement?” way.

No one hails me as a figurehead of transhuman PR, and I wasn’t trying to be; nor was I trying to impress anyone with my intellectual prowess. I was just casually giving my optimistic outlook at the request of my friend for the sake of her first film. Before you criticize, please consider looking at other video entries on Space Collective.

Lastly, the camera was situated at the exact wrong location with the exact wrong lighting. The pictures below are more fair.
