[Nick Bostrom, Thomas Douglas & Anders Sandberg (2016) The Unilateralist’s Curse and the Case for a Principle of Conformity, Social Epistemology, 30:4, 350–371, DOI: 10.1080/02691728.2015.1108373] Dignity and Enhancement. Nick Bostrom is directeur van The Future of Humanity Institute in Oxford.

And I have been chasing him for over 4 years now. De pas 39-jarige wetenschapper houdt zich bezig met de grote vraagstukken voor de mensheid. Oxford philosopher and transhumanist Nick Bostrom examines the future of humankind and asks whether we might alter the fundamental nature of humanity to solve our most intrinsic problems. Nick Bostrom has been at the top of my interviewee wish list since I started podcasting.

Hij studeerde onder andere filosofie, wiskunde en natuurkunde. Does human enhancement threaten our dignity as some have asserted? Once, we even had a booked date and time for an interview until Dr. Bostrom suddenly cancelled it in the last moment.
