Hello, my name is Donald Stanley and I have been a journalist at The Times head office in London for over ten years. Previously I wrote for various British newspapers, specializing in science, technology and ethics. Having graduated from City University of London, I have always strived not just to cover events, but to analyze their deep consequences.
Transhumanism is one of those areas that not only interests me professionally, but also touches me on a personal level. We live in an era when technology allows us to edit genes, extend life, connect brains with machines, and even redefine the very concept of humanity. That is why I created my blog, where I examine the key aspects of transhumanism that affect society and the future.
I remember early in my career interviewing neuroscientists who talked about brain implants as a distant fantasy. Today, such technologies are already being tested on people. Neural interfaces that allow you to control computers with your mind help people with paralysis, improve cognitive abilities and may even replace traditional methods of communication in the future.
But behind these capabilities lie issues of control, privacy and data security. Who will own the neural information? Can AI influence human consciousness? How safe is it to transmit thoughts directly onto a digital network? I discuss these questions in detail in my blog, citing the opinions of scientists, futurologists and ethicists.
During my career, I have visited laboratories where scientists were working on life extension. Gene therapy, bioengineering, molecular medicine and nanotechnology offer hope that aging will become a controlled process. There are already drugs that slow down cellular changes, and even experimental methods for complete rejuvenation of the body.
But what will happen if people actually stop aging? How will the economy, social structure, and the value of life itself change? Who will have access to such technologies – everyone or only a select few? I discuss these topics on my blog, looking at both the scientific side and the ethical aspects.
Having worked in journalism for more than a decade, I have seen the rise of digital payments, cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence in the banking industry. On the one hand, technology has made finance convenient and accessible, on the other hand, it has opened new doors for cybercriminals, hackers and financial fraud.
Today, fraudsters use AI for hacking, phishing attacks and biometric data spoofing. States are introducing new rules for digital identification, but often this only complicates the access of ordinary citizens to their own money. The future of financial security is a race between security systems and criminal schemes, and I pay special attention to this in my blog.
Cryptocurrencies, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), artificial intelligence, automated investments are all changing the very concept of money.
If financial technology continues to develop at this rate, we could end up in a world where every transaction is tracked and access to finance depends not on having money, but on “digital identity.” In my blog, I analyze future scenarios, presenting the opinions of economists, bankers and technology entrepreneurs about what the world of money will be like in 10-20 years.
My blog about transhumanism is not just thinking about the future. This is an attempt to understand how technology is shaping tomorrow today. Will neural interfaces control consciousness? Will aging become a conquered disease? Will people be able to protect their finances in a world of digital threats?
There are no clear answers to these questions yet, but this is what makes my blog alive and relevant. I continue to seek out experts, scientists, philosophers and entrepreneurs who are willing to share their views on the future. After all, in the end, human evolution is no longer determined by nature – now we ourselves choose what tomorrow will be like.
