Futurisms: Patrick Lin on the military's push for human enhancement

Futurisms: Patrick Lin on the military's push for human enhancement: "After James Hughes came Patrick Lin (bio). Lin noted correctly that something that's gone basically unremarked at this conference so far is how much of the push towards futuristic technologies and human enhancement is driven by the military. The military has strong reasons to try to engineer soldiers with superhuman strength, who can climb walls, who don't need to eat and sleep, and so forth."
