SkepTech Reminder!

Today, tomorrow, and Sunday…SkepTech, at the University of Minnesota campus. I’m leaving for the big city this afternoon after I finish dispensing justice teaching/advising today, so I plan to be there the whole session, and maybe hang about into the evening. Look at all the lovely speakers at this free conference: Brianne Bilyeu Ben Blanchard Greta Christina JT Eberhard Tim Farley Geeks Without God Maggie Koerth-Baker Jesse Galef Scott Lohman Hemant Mehta Brendan Murphy PZ Myers Zach Weinersmith Stephanie Zvan Oh, and if you’re wondering what I’m talking about, my title is “Hacking Evolution: Transhumanist Fantasies, Biological Realities”: it’s a strangely sympathetic and simultaneously scathing critique of transhumanism. Which reminds me…the talk isn’t quite done. I should get to work.
