My TED talk: Can we create new senses for humans? Featured

Can we create new senses for humans? Can we create new senses for humans? Bret Hartman

At TED I had the opportunity to address an issue close to my heart: can we marry our technology to our biology to expand what it means to be a human?  If you're interested in more on this topic, see my new company NeoSensory, or read a short essay I wrote called "The Umwelt".

  • Why I am a Possibilian
    Why I am a Possibilian

    Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion. A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story is true or not true. I call myself a possibilian. Find out why.

    Posthumanism asks what happens when our technologies allow humans to enhance intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities beyond what biology can give us. Think bionics on crack.
