The Evolution of Death

The concept and reality of death have been evolving alongside the story of human life. Let's explore the relationship between the living and the ancestors from past and distant perspectives. How will artificial intelligence and longevity sciences change these relationships? Will humanity experience a reality shift due to the changing nature of death, or will history repeat itself? This talk straddles transhumanism and psychology.

About Daniel Packer:

A mild-mannered IT Manager by day, Daniel Packer spends a lot of time thinking about odd stuff like the evolution of death, transhumanism, and mass psychological shift. After many years of thinking about these things for fun he is looking into getting paid to do so in the not too distant future.
