Chris Dancy is touted as the most connected man on Earth and a ‘mindful cyborg’.

As a participant of the Personal Genome Project (PGP), which was initiated in 2005 at Harvard Medical School, James Turner has donated a significant amount of information to the project, including an extensive personal health survey, 20 years' worth of notes pertaining to doctor visits, lab tests, treatments, etc., and MRI images. Once submitted to the PGP, a participant's information becomes available to any all researchers for the purposes of driving genetic research. The program has two main goals: to perform whole genome sequencing on as many samples as possible, and to correlate the genetic information obtained with phenotypic data.   As a descendent of the PGP, the Open Humans Foundation takes a slightly different approach to the same idea; it allows participants to choose whether they want their data to be available to everyone or only select researchers, works to facilitate the transfer of information from personal devices to biological data banks, and makes use of data inspired by the Quantified Self Movement (e.g. Fitbit/Apple Watch, diet data). Turner now serves as the treasurer and chairman of this foundation, and he joins the podcast to provide unique insight on the world of genomic data and biological research driven by the people.

Biohacking oder Quantified Self Movement? Zwei unterschiedliche Bewegungen? Oder doch alles miteinander verbunden? Beim Biohacking geht es insbesondere darum, die Prozesse im eigenen Körper besser zu verstehen, um diese dann positiv zu beeinflussen und gesünder zu werden. Beim Quantified Self Movement wird versucht, so viel wie möglich aus dem eigenen Leben zu vermessen, um es dann zu optimieren. Sollten wahre Biohacker dem Quantified Self Movement also kritisch gegenüber stehen? Wir hatten bereits in unserer Facebook-Community eine angeregte Diskussion über dieses Thema und jetzt haben Olli und Patrick diesem Thema nochmal eine Podcast-Folge gewidmet. Macht es Sinn jeden Teil seines Lebens zu vermessen? Oder stiehlt uns der Fokus auf jede Kleinigkeit nicht doch zu viel Zeit? Aus der Zeitmanagement-Perspektive betrachtet, macht es sicher für die meiste Menschen, ausgenommen Profisportler, keinen Sinn alles zu überwachen, was möglich ist. Andererseits kannst Du natürlich auch nur Dinge verbessern, die Du messen kannst. Was wiederum wichtig ist, für den ersten Schritt hin zur Selbstoptimierung. Wie Du schon merkst, bietet dieses Thema viel Gesprächs- und Diskussionsstoff. Deine Produktivität, deine Einstellung, deine Disziplin, deine Gesundheit, all das kann durch Tracking deiner Daten sowohl positiv als auch negativ beeinflusst werden. In der neuen Folge bekommst Du einen genaueren Überblick über die Zusammenhänge bei diesem Thema sowie einige interessante, studienbasierte Facts zur Auswirkung von Tracking auf unseren Körper und Geist. Viel Spaß also dabei.

In this episode, I talk to Phoebe Moore. Phoebe is a researcher and a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Middlesex University. She teaches International Relations and International Political Economy and has published several books, articles and reports about labour struggle, industrial relations and the impact of technology on workers' everyday lives. Her current research, funded by a BA/Leverhulme award, focuses on the use of self-tracking devices in companies. She is the author of a book on this topic entitled The Quantified Self in Precarity: Work, Technology and What Counts, which has just been published. We talk about the quantified self movement, the history of workplace surveillance, and a study that Phoebe did on tracking in a Dutch company.You can download the episode here, or listen below.

In this episode of On Books, I discuss The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future, by Kevin Kelly.  The Inevitable is driven by the idea that the technological trends of the next 30 years can be predicted. Over 336 pages the book breaks down the Top 12 technological forces at work such as: "Becoming, Cognifying, Flowing, Screening, Accessing, Sharing, Filtering, Remixing, Interacting, Tracking, Questioning, and Beginning." The names themselves don't really tell you much about these trends, and so I'll break down in this shorter 25 minute episode of On Books the first three trends: Becoming, Cognifying and Flowing so that by the end of the podcast you'll have a pretty good sense of how to use these in your everyday work. And you'll have enough of the kernel of the concept of what "inevitable" means so that you can decide if this book is right for you! Who better to speak on this subject than Kevin Kelly (co-founder of Wired Magazine, co-founder of The Quantified Self Movement, his accolades go on and on and on). Kelly's early writing in Out of Control (1994), and New Rules for the New Economy (1998) were highly influential in the shaping the past 20 years of the web, and his predictions here will no doubt be influential in shaping the next 20+ years. I hope you enjoy this episode! If you'd like to learn more about the book and Kevin Kelly please check out the previous episode of On Books (Episode #39) to hear my conversation with Kevin Kelly on 60s counterculture, How to Read Better and of course The Inevitable.

This week I was lucky enough to interview one of my favorite people of all time: Kevin Kelly.   Tim Ferriss refers to Kevin as the real-life “Most Interesting Man In The World."    He is one of the co-founders of Wired Magazine, co-founder of the Quantified Self Movement, and serves on the board of The Long Now foundation. He's a prescient writer, inspiring photographer, and prolific traveler.    In this episode we talk about:  * The Counterculture movement of the 60s * Traveling as an act of rebellion * Kevin’s latest book The Inevitable in which he writes that, "Much of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion.” He'll share some of those predictions with us.  * Lessons on how to read better * And... a book that Kevin wishes everyone in the world read at least one time.     

Is your Fitbit turning you into a cyborg? In this week's podcast we explore the Quantified Self Movement, which encourages gathering data about ourselves in the quest for self-improvement. We get into what this means for our culture of maximization and productivity, how new technologies have helped us to think of ourselves as machines, and how the singularity movement envisions our cyborg future. On the way we talk about Donna Haraway's feminist Cyborg Manifesto, how long Ray Kurzweil thinks it will take for us to live forever, and what it means to be human. You know, the small stuff. Come "process" it all with us…resistance is futile!

This week's podcast is about the rising movement for quantifying our lives beyond just health and body. The Quantified Self  is about self-knowledge through self-tracking and extends our awareness about what's happening in our lives, how we're spending our time, and pretty much anything related to our daily living. In 2007 Ernesto Ramirez joined with Wired Magazine's Kevin Kelly and Gary Wolf to create this organization, made up predominantly of individuals with a passion for managing their lives. The society has grown from its San Francisco roots to about 90 groups meeting regularly worldwide. Many of the devices we ...
