All In The Mind · Our millennia-long obsession with immortality · 2 May 2026 podcast

And this is where a lot of the sort of biohacking and a lot of the really extreme stuff that we talked about before when it comes to things like yogurt enemas and injecting, you know,

sort of gene sequences and it comes to, you know, putting sensors underneath your skin, all of that, it is a fundamental responsibility of humanity to adapt ourselves so that we can achieve the singularity more quickly.

Why?

Because once we do that, all of this is so mad, because once we do that, we can choose to be immortal.

The transhumanist sort of mantra is three things.

It's superintelligence,

super longevity and super happiness.

So super intelligence is the thing that is going to get us to this singularity, this sort of post-human thing.

Super happiness is what's going to happen after we achieve that.

And super longevity, we will be able to decide at what point we want to kick the bucket because we will have choices at that point.

So the responsibility is that it needs to happen and it needs to happen for all of us.

So there isn't a class system.

Right.

It's mad as fish.

So when I was covering tech for the Guardian newspaper in sort of 2003, I remember coming across, you know, transhumanism.

And I remember hearing a lot about the singularity because it was around that time that Ray Kurzweil and Peter Thiel and Peter Diamandis, who was another big investor in Silicon Valley, they were putting a lot of money into this thing called the Singularity University.

That is a business venture.

That is, you know, how can we prepare for a super longevity future type of experience?

And I remember hearing all this stuff and I was like, y'all are crazy.

I'm like, God, you guys have drugs.
