A couple of years ago, I recorded a podcast with Gerd Leonhard, one of the world's most successful futurist keynote speakers, and the founder of The Futures Agency. It was a lot of fun, and you can listen to it here. Gerd and I disagree about many things, but he has that rare talent of making disagreement amiable.

Gerd thinks the most important thing about us is that we are human. I think we should embrace opportunities to transcend the limitations of being human, and that the most important thing about us is our minds. Gerd identifies as a humanist, and so do I, but I also identify as a transhumanist.

Next week (Wednesday 23 April at 8pm UK time) we are doing a webcast together. Places are limited, so register here.
