What If You Could Live for 10,000 years? Q&A with Transhumanist Zoltan Istvan

Views:922
@ReasonVids

"I'm not saying let's live forever," says Zoltan Istvan, transhumanist author, philosopher, and political candidate. "I think what we want is the choice to be able to live indefinitely. That might be 10,000 years; that might only be 170 years."

Istvan devoted his life to transhumanism after nearly stepping on an old landmine while reporting for National Geographic channel in Vietnam's demilitarized zone.

"I'd say the number one goal of transhumanism is trying to conquer death," says Istvan.

Reason TV's Zach Weissmueller interviewed Istvan about real-world life-extension technology ranging from robotic hearts to cryogenic stasis, Istvan's plan to run for president under the banner of the Transhumanist party, the overlap between the LGBT movement and transhumanism, and the role that governments play in both aiding and impeding transhumanist goals.

Approximately 10 minutes. Produced by Zach Weissmueller. Camera by Justin Monticello and Paul Detrick. Music by Anix Gleo and nthnl.
