Review for Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, Inc., Hartford, CT, USA
Is there anything more important than our future? This site is the ideal place if you want to get a sense of possible changes heading our way. It is time we leave the "i ll see what comes next" mentality behind us. We have to actively think about the future, anticipate it, steer it, design it ourselves. us. Ranging from culture changing technology, to environmental and natural disasters. If it can happen, we need to think and talk about it before it actually happens or we will be unprepared and ill equipped to handle the situation. If we see these dangers coming, we can steer around them, avoid them or at least negate their effects. IEET is the best place for minds to come together and think about what the human race needs to do to sustain itself, to lead better, happier, healthier and more productive lives. Which systems are broken and which need an update? What does copyright mean for the future of genetics? Is our current political system a dinosaur? What does it mean to be human? What will it mean in the future? What do we want it to mean? If you want to activate that ball of wet, gelatinous matter inside your skull and really put it to work, you have come to the right place.
