Junto: Transhumanism

​As the world barrels into a cyberpunk future, we are confronted with the question of Transhumanism.

• ​If you could upgrade your body and mind like software, would you?

• ​Should we welcome technologies that could extend our lifespans, enhance our cognition, and merge us with machines—or are there hidden risks in re-engineering ourselves?

• ​How do these possibilities reshape ideas of identity, freedom, and equality?

• ​Will Transhumanism liberate us from biology—or enslave us to technology?

What is a Junto?

​​​​​​​​​Benjamin Franklin founded the Junto Club as a way to discuss morals, politics, and natural philosophy to improve themselves and their community. The club was initially composed of twelve members who met on Friday evenings.

​​​​​​​​​Our debates were to be conducted in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute or desire of victory. - Benjamin Franklin
