Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat, Iranian Leviathan: A Monumental History of Mithra’s Abode, and Prometheism. Here he suggests that humankind is at a brink of a series of technological breakthroughs so radical as to alter our understanding of reality in ways that are unpredictable. GRIN technologies include genetic engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology. In addition, he discusses time travel and the prospect that we are living inside of a programmable virtual reality.
Many viewers will know that Jason Reza Jorjani has suffered from libel and persecution as a result of his, generally misunderstood, political views. He is a brilliant scholar who has now been unfairly disgraced and is forced to fight a legal battle, while continuing his research and writing, without any regular employment. Therefore we have set up this “Go Fund Me” page in order to assist this worthy individual.
