Here you'll find scientific articles, event reports, the latest news about Ar and much more! Each post reflects its author opinion and should not be considered as Ar's official position.
I am writing to you from a distant Future. A Future where words like school, teacher and education have acquired new meanings. Schools are not anymore limited to walls, neighborhoods or cities. Teachers are not limited to a room, to a language, to a subject. Education is not defined by the government of your country, by your age, by your grades.
Human enhancement is not exactly a clear concept. But we can define it here as wikipedia does: "any attempt to temporarily or permanently overcome the current limitations of the human body through natural or artificial means". Or we can look at it as the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford does: "«Human enhancement» refers to the use of medicine, technology, and techniques to improve the capacities of people beyond what we would consider normal or healthy" .
So why do we play? For fun, that's for sure, but is there a hidden biological purpose behind it?
