SHIFT: Biohacking Documentary
Entertaining and well shot short documentary by Steve Adams and Sean Horlor about biohacking technolgies and its peripherals: wearables, exoskeletons & prosthetics, longevity and other emerging developments and nascent technologies. The doc features also fellow futurist Nikolas Badminton. Great job!
Will using technology to improve and enhance our bodies be the next step in human evolution? In this documentary, futurist Nik Badminton guides us through three streams of the global biohacking movement: wearables, implantables, and superhuman exoskeletons. We also interview Pacific Northwest innovators (VitalSines, Dangerous Things, Prosthesis: The Anti-Robot) and find out how anyone with a computer–not just scientists and doctors–can use technology to alter and change the normal biology of living things.
When we learn to deal directly with our complaints and difficulties, romanticised ideas about the spiritual path are no longer meaningful. We see that what is important is to take responsibility for ourselves, and to always be aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Shini explains how the ultraviolet catastrophe was disastrous for conventional thinking about the physics of light!
All kinds of variety, lovely flowers in bloom, a golden palace gleaming and delightful, even such as these have no ultimate creator, they are imputed by the power of thought, the whole world is imputed by the power of thought.

Musical training can have a dramatic impact on your brain’s structure, enhancing your memory, spatial reasoning and language skills
“Music reaches parts of the brain that other things can’t,” says Loveday. “It’s a strong cognitive stimulus that grows the brain in a way that nothing else does, and the evidence that musical training enhances things like working memory and language is very robust.”

More evidence that we can train our minds to develop our emotional skills and global wellbeing.
Why we are built to be kind
Human nature is often portrayed as selfish and power hungry: Greed is good. Competition is natural. War is inevitable.
Psychologist Dacher Keltner challenges this idea of human nature and seeks to better understand why we evolved pro-social emotions like empathy and compassion.
Empathy is actually a pretty complicated task for the brain.
Reptiles probably can’t do it and it’s occurs in pretty simple forms for most mammals. But in humans, it really engages the frontal lobes: these newer regions of the brain that are involved in more complex symbolic processes like language, considering alternatives and imagining the future.
Empathy requires that you think: there’s someone else out there who has feelings and thoughts that may be different from mine. That’s a complicated cognitive achievement!
Compassion —the caring instinct— is located down in the center of the brain, near the top of the spinal cord where a lot of our basic instincts are regulated. It’s a very old part of the brain called the periaqueductal gray, which is common to mammals that take care of their young.
So that’s striking: there’s one kind of thing —empathy— that’s really about understanding people (very complicated!) in the frontal lobes. But caring is is really old in the nervous system.
