There are so many exciting things going on at Foresight and we wanted to make sure you don’t miss any of the good stuff! We have a bunch of new podcast episodes, announcements of bounty winners and a whole lot of new seminar summaries for you to dive into, so here we go!
Register your interest: Pending favorable pandemic conditions, this year we will meet in person, at Vision Weekend Dec 4 & 5, in a secret San Francisco venue and Chateau du Fey in France (or online!
Check out our podcast with new episodes including guests like Robin Hanson, Chiara Marletto, and Tom Chi out now. New episodes are released weekly on all podcast services every Friday.
Foresight’s president Allison Duettmann joined FuturePod for a conversation on her journey as a futurist: “Her futures journey started as a child when she realised that she did not want to die. The pathways she followed after that included Existentialism, Transhumanism, and finally the Foresight Institute. She speaks extensively about the Big Three – Biotech, Nanotech and Computer Science.”
Check out the winners of our very first bounty competition, where the competitors have answered questions such as: What is the most promising start-up-ready area for longevity innovation and what projects do you want to see started? What will our lives look like once we reach escape velocity in aging? What are getting started instructions to set up a personal computer interface for modern protein design? Read the answers of the winners here.
Make sure you follow Dequery for your chance to join and win a $200 bounty when the next round of questions will be released later this week.
