Robots with a hot-line
In the article Robots with a hot-line we raise the question if governments, industries and military intelligence agencies are trustworthy enough to handle the ability to influence a persons thoughts and actions? And do we want any authority to have the means to collect and store our most inner thoughts in a databank?
This might seem like sci-fi right now, but technologies are emerging that would make such a scenario quite real. In this article robots are the link. Sooner or later we will be forced to deal with brain technologies that will challenge our ideas about privacy and autonomy, both for human and non-human lifeforms. So how should we deal with such a scenario?
Nye livsformer og deres plass i samfunnet
I takt med utviklingen av nye selvbevisste intelligente livsformer, som roboter, kyborgere og forbedrede versjoner av mennesket selv, trengs en bred evaluering av loven om menneskerettigheter. En tanke som for mange kan virke fremmed, men som om noen tiår kan være høyst aktuell.
Hvilke sosiale og økonomiske virkninger kan innføring av nye livsformer til samfunnet bringe med seg?

Kognitive "enhancers", bør de legaliseres?
Diskusjoner raser omkring legemiddelindustriens forsøk på å skape et nytt tilbud til sine konsumenter. Preparater som øker kognitiv ytelse står på listen over produkter som skal prøves ut på markedet.
Bør kjemiske "enhancers" legaliseres? Og er det i såfall riktig at skolen skal ha ansvaret for å dele ut gratis piller til studentene?

Ageless thinking
Ageless means to be free of the characteristics associated with age. Thinking means to bring thought to mind by exercising the power of reason. Ageless thinking means to practice the exercise of thinking about maintaining a youthful state, both physically and mentally. How and what we think about age depends on our individual goals. In this essay I will address reasons why ageless thinking is advantageous to optimal living and refer to how ageist thinking shortens our life. I will look at how we become imprisoned and prematurely aged by stereotypical and unfounded beliefs about aging: what it is, how long we can live, different kinds of aging, and to what extent we can affect out aging. I will suggest some psychological and philosophical approaches to becoming ageless, as well as several medical and technological treatments. To conclude, I'll look briefly at some near term and further future means of extending youthful life. Read more
