With influence from philosophy and psychonautic experience, this dialogue explores the forking path of humanity’s relation with technology. One way proposes hyperhumanism, which seeks to enhance humanity through the mindful use of technology. The other, transhumanism, promises 'transcendence' as an escape from the lack in humanity.
