  • Betterhumans Video

    As we promised a few months back with the site's relaunch, Betterhumans.com said we would deliver new content in many new forms every month or two. Betterhumans Videos is the next new feature we're proud to roll out.

    To get the ball rolling, we've already accumulated about 100 videos covering more than 48 hours of content. We're covering a diverse range of science/technology topics that should be of interest to our community; genomics, space, nanotechnology, life extension, brain plasticity, artificial intelligence, education, the environment, ethics, alternative energy, existential risks, megascale engineering projects, demos of new products, and many more. New content will be added often.

    Each video has several tags assigned to it to help you search for specific content. Comments are enabled on each video posted, so please feel free to add your thoughts, links, and additional ideas on as many as you like.
    If you have suggestions for specific new videos or comments for what types/sources/lengths of videos you prefer, please share your thoughts!

    We hope you enjoy this new feature!
