61: Alex Vikoulov

For the 61^st episode of NEOHUMAN, Agah is chatting with Alex Vikoulov. Economist by training, philosopher by vocation, in his words, “worked in the corporate world, worked in the startup world, sat on the boards, sat on the beach, was employed, was self-employed, was a venture capitalist, was an ‘adventure’ capitalist,” while his passion towards physics and philosophy slowly but surely was brewing in the background … These days he describes himself as a futurist, digital philosopher, neo-transcendentalist, evolutionary cyberneticist, transhumanist singularitarian, cosmist, scholar, consciousness researcher, media commentator, painter and author. Currently resides in Burlingame, CA (San Francisco Bay Area). They talk about a wide range of topics, including technology, philosophy, Transhumanism, futurism, psychedelics, and Alex’s new book, The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind’s Evolution.
