The Kim Monson Show: “Experts Victoria Alexander and Dr. James Lyons-Weiler discuss the realities of human coding. Alexander leads a thought-provoking course titled “The Perils of Coding Humans: A Response to Transhumanism” at IPAK, where she delves into the critical examination of transhumanism and its implications. Complementing this course, she also hosts a monthly webinar named “WE ARE NOT MACHINES,” which acts as an extension of her classroom discussions. In both the course and the webinar, Alexander explores the potential dangers associated with the integration of technology into human biological systems, arguing against the transhumanist vision. She presents a compelling case on why transhumanism is not only dangerous but also fraught with logical inconsistencies, urging a reevaluation of the direction in which humanity and technology are merging. Listen to the full interview in the first hour.” (discussion begins at about 22 minutes)
