Yes, that would have been nice, but overall I felt the sound quality turned out to be alright. I think the dialogue is a little clearer in the discussion afterwards. Although the ideas about the future of sex are largely my own, I can't take credit for proposing that ideas function as units of cultural sex (or memetic sex or idea sex). This is something that is getting more attention now, and it is research that I think is of great utility and may provide useful insight into the future of our species. It could lead to the complete decentralization of sex.I wish though, that the questions asked during the presentation could have been subtitled in to the video
how the exchange of ideas can result in pleasure and how that might well be considered sex too
Nice, I'll check that out. Although, if biological sex is on the out, then it looks like my personal value is going to go down like . . . 93%. All kidding aside, there are actually some scenes in Transmetroplitan that deal with this. One scene is between people who link nervous systems and another is between two people who have uploaded their consciousnesses into clouds of nanites. It would be interesting to hear what Warren Ellis, the writer of Transmetropolitan would have to say about the ideas you've put forth.
