In the coming 2020s, the world of medical science will make some significant breakthroughs. Through brain implants, we will have the capability to restore lost memories.
~ The 2020s will provide us with the computer power to make the first complete human brain simulation. Exponential growth in computation and data will make it possible to form accurate models of every part of the human brain and its 100 billion neurons.
~ The prototype of the human heart was 3D printed in 2019. By the mid- 2020s, customized 3D- printing of major human body organs will become possible. In the coming decades, more and more of the 78 organs in the human body will become printable.
âŠAs we enter into the next few decades, we will have the technologies that grant us the possibility of immortality, albeit one that is highly subjective.
With our ability to 3D print new body organs, our ability to use nanotechnology in fighting death at cellular levels, our ability to use CRISPR or other gene-editing technology to rewrite our definition of humans and even our ability to capture and extend our consciousness beyond the confines of the biological weakness of our human bodies â immortality may be within reach of our fingers as depicted in the painting of Michelangelo.
The race to human 2.0 will be run broadly in two spectrums â the evolution of our body and the evolution of our minds.
Excerpt from my book â 2020s & The Future Beyond.
Humanism (Transhumanism and Posthumanism) look likely to win. â⊠in the early 1990s, the historical tether between American identity and faith snapped. Religious non-affiliation in the U.S. started to riseâand rise, and rise. By the early 2000s, the share of Americans who said they didnât associate with any established religion (also known as â nonesâ) had doubled. By the 2010s, this grab bag of atheists, agnostics, and spiritual dabblers had tripled in size.
âNot religiousâ has become a specific American identityâone that distinguishes secular, liberal whites from the conservative, evangelical right.

â Transdisciplinary Agora for Future Discussions (TAFFDâs) is a global nongovernmental organization registered in the USA that serves as a futuristic think tank endeavored to the education and engagement urgency to help people understand the benefits and challenges of technology applied to high-impact industries and disciplines across the world.
We help prepare peopleâs minds by talking about the current advantages of this new paradigm and what the future entails using a trans-disciplinary approach that is transposed through the TAFFDâs Quarterly Journal, TAFFDâs annual Magazine, TAFFDâs International/Local Conferencing, TAFFDâs Awards, and TAFFDâs Teens divisions of our organization.
TAFFDâs is grateful & honored to be supported/endorsed by the Lifeboat Foundation, USTP, International Longevity Alliance, Open Source Mode, Emerge, Aubrey de Grey, Catherine Demetriades and by many people who wish to change the world through the proper use of technology.
Targeting Mechanisms of Aging Across Species â I am joined on this episode of ideaXme by Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, Professor of Pathology, Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences, University of Washington, to discuss his research focus on cross-species mechanisms of aging, in order to facilitate interventions that extend healthspan and improve quality of life â #Ideaxme #Health #Wellness #Longevity #Aging #LifeExtension #Rapamycin #MTor #CElegans #ExtracellularVesicles #Geroscience #GenomicInstability #AlzheimersDisease #Neurodegeneration #Parkinsons #MitochondrialDysfunction #OralHealth #SystemsBiology #DogAgingProject #Science #Transhumanism #Innovation #Immortality #IraPastor #Bioquark #Regenerage The Dog Aging Project.
Ira Pastor, idea me life sciences ambassador and founder of Bioquark, interviews Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, Professor of Pathology, Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington.
Dr. matt kaeberlein researchers aging across species:
Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, is Professor of Pathology, Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington. With a PhD from MIT in Biology, and post-doctoral work in the Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, his research interests are focused on basic mechanisms of aging in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life.
Dr. Kaeberlein has published nearly 200 papers in top scientific journals and has been recognized by several prestigious awards, including a Breakthroughs in Gerontology Award, an Alzheimerâs Association Young Investigator Award, an Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar in Aging Award, a Murdock Trust Award, a Pioneer in Aging Award, and the Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star in Aging Research.

Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic prosthetics inspired by natureâs own designs. Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Labâs Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk thatâs both technical and deeply personal â with the help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED stage.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the worldâs leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

Itâs essentially the guts of a smartphone combined with brain-implanted micro electrodes, as TechCrunch reports. The âGennaris bionic vision system,â a project thatâs more than ten years in the making, bypasses damaged optic nerves to allow signals to be transmitted from the retina to the vision center of the brain.
The system is made up of a custom-designed headgear, which includes a camera and a wireless transmitter. A processor unit takes care of data crunching, while a set of tiles implanted inside the brain deliver the signals.
âOur design creates a visual pattern from combinations of up to 172 spots of light (phosphenes) which provides information for the individual to navigate indoor and outdoor environments, and recognize the presence of people and objects around them,â Arthur Lowery, professor at Monash Universityâs Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, said in a statement.
Discussing STEM, the future, and transhumanism with an islamic scholar / scientist.
Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador interviews Imam Sheikh Dr. Usama Hasan, PhD, MSc, MA, Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and Research Consultant at the Tony Blair Institute For Global Change.
Ira Pastor comments:
Today, on the ideaXme show we are going to segue back towards the fascinating intersection of science and spirituality.
We are joined by Imam Sheikh Dr. Usama Hasan, most recently Senior Researcher and Head of Islamic Studies at Quilliam International, a think tank and worlds first counter-extremism organization, where he was a founding advisor to the organization since 2008.
Actually, the predominant language of the website is English, but even me being bilingual, I felt more comfortable delivering the narrative in my native language.
In the video, I give a thorough overview of the content and organization of my website Transhumanplus.com. It has a huge amount of information, growing constantly, on the transhumanist movement, emerging technologies in general, and very specially, on the longevity, rejuvenation and life extension field.
The idea is to provide a 20 minute guide to visitors, so you can have a good understanding and take the most out of it when surfing the web.
If you enjoy the video or are interested in these matters, I invite you to contact me through any of the following social media channels:
