What Makes Us Human? | Dr. Paul Symington | Purposeful Lab
Purposeful Lab
Transhumanists want to use technology to alter our human condition, but what does it mean to be human? Dr. Paul Symington, chair of Franciscan University’s Philosophy Department, joins Dr. Dan Kuebler to talk about why we are both body and soul, what we understand (and don’t understand) about consciousness, Elon Musk’s Neuralink, and if there’s any overlap between transhumanist and Christian views.
