The H+ Academy is an opportunity to face the world's issues with leading thinkers of AI, Philosophy, Economics, Science and the Arts, and offers two platforms for attendees: the 30-Minute Roundtable discussion & debate followed by breakout Workshops facilitated by members.

"Going Meta with the Brain" is the topic of the first Roundtable with Philosopher & NASA-Baruch Blumberg Chair Susan Schneider and Philosopher & Alcor Ambassador Max More.

  • Why do we have the cognitive, emotional, and perceptual capabilities and limits that we have today?
  • How might brains be reengineered biologically to enhance capabilities?
  • What non-biological technologies might enhance the brain?
  • What dangers should we look out for when considering such upgrades, whether philosophical, psychological, or social? 

Join us: Please join us on Zoom 10 minutes before the Roundtable starts! We will be starting on time and don't want you to miss out on the opening statements. All registered attendees will be sent the Zoom link before the event starts. Eventbrite

How does it work? Participants open with a 1-minute position statement (quick-fire). Discussion and debate between participants continues with each making a closing statement and the end of the 30-minute round. Attendees can comment in the chat. Following the Roundtable is the H+ Academy Members Workshop.
