Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
A new era of anti-aging technologies will result in a world of fewer deaths. But how will this impact society? Will Earth become overpopulated? Will we run out of resources? Will this technology only be accessible to the wealthy? Will dictators become immortal?
David Wood will be addressing these questions in his talk entitled, “The strengths and weaknesses of objections to radical life extension”.
David Wood is a full-time futurist speaker, analyst, commentator, and writer. He is the author or lead editor of nine books including “The Abolition of Aging”, “Transcending Politics”, and “Sustainable Superabundance”. In 2009 David was included in T3’s list of “100 most influential people in technology”. Alongside his paid consulting activities, David is the chair of London Futurists – a non-profit meetup organisation with over 8,000 members. David will be discussing attitudes towards radical life extension, and common philosophical objections to anti-aging technologies.
