Over a tea break, Mathieu Gosselin and David Wood, co-leaders of the Transhumanist Party UK, share their transhumanist perspectives on news and projects. Topics covered in this episode include (1) a better future for mental health, (2) recommendations for doing politics better than what has been the "Brexit experience" in the UK over the last few years. There's also news about the Transhumanist Party Discourse forum, changes in the Party imagery, and opportunities to build a more diverse NEC (National Executive Committee).
Apologies for some glitches/lags in the video. We'll use a different recording configuration next time. Live and learn!
In case you're wondering, the video starts with an unscheduled miaow from Mathieu's cat.
