G’Day World #324 – Dr Susan Blackmore on Free Will
Posted on 22. May, 2008 by Cameron in free will, Podcast
You’ve heard me say I don’t believe in free will. Well tonight I’ve got world famous author, speaker, psychologist and memeticist Dr Susan Blackmore on the show to explain why SHE doesn’t believe in free will either. We discuss the reductionist perspective, what neuroscientists she’s interviewed believe, and how to live your life once you’ve discarded the idea of free will completely.

G’Day World #323 – Aubrey de Grey
Posted on 19. May, 2008 by Cameron in Australian media, big brains, Podcast, science, transhumanism
In #323 I welcome back a previous G’Day World guest, one of my favourite scientists, Dr Aubrey de Grey.
Aubrey is the founder of The Methuselah Foundation, a non-profit 501c(3) organization committed to the acceleration of progress toward a cure for age-related disease, disability, suffering, and death.
They are running a special conference on aging at UCLA from June 27 – 29 and the Friday night session, with three hours of speeches from leaders in the field, is FREE. Book tickets here.
If you want to learn more about SENS, here’s a link to the show I did with Aubrey back in August 2005:
