Biohacking - the forefront of a new kind of human evolution: Amal Graafstra at TEDxSFU 

Watching him unlock that lock the way that he did almost brought tears to my eyes. I've been a transhumanist for years and a lot of hope and passion feels like its just a pipe dream sometimes. It's refreshing to see not only other people that share your idles so vividly but also confirmation that all that hope hasn't gone to waste.

Still one of my favorite TED talks. Amal is a true visionary

I use my high frequency NFC compatible tag with Android devices and, as you can see in the talk, I have a Windows 7 laptop which I use with a low frequency tag.

One of the best videos I have ever watched :)

Amal is the reason why I picked up some chips from his site and got them implanted in 2018. They still work :D

One question: How about the next step of human evolution is a growth in consiousness and truly acting from the heart, to honor existence, the Earth, the body, every human being, every animal and every plant, and not try to hack any of it, and not kill and act out of greed? This, to me, would be a much more favourable next step in human evolution.

Cyberpunk 2077 started right with this ted talk

Obviously progress can't be stopped and neither is the ignorant believe new inventions would benefit to humans well being

Great Video! Love to see more from this guy!

Some guys in my biohacking group are getting this implants. So cool :)

there are people born without any "super power" of any kind who are really helping others to live better lives. if you're bored try to look around more, just turn your head away from your phone for half an hour per day, for starting.

Great talk and information.

Digital ID via Wetwear devices is the future, penetration of the skin not required. Having a means to ID yourself to secure your own stuff is a plus. And applying ID stripping to all BigData is also essential to privacy. We just aren't quite there yet.

What if someone shakes your hand and reads the RFID, put it on a card? Could he enter his house then?

Lol these comments are fucking great.

Why not just have a RFID ring on your finger?

Nice to see you Amal, looks like you're doing well.

Christians in the audience be like " this is the mark of the beast"

If it's not to find people then why do people get them for pets if they run away

I like his bio gun, so visionary

scientifically interesting, ethically not. so > typical something for coorporations

Great guy! Loved working with him for #TEDxSFU. He's pretty active on Twitter via @amal.

if the chip just turns off all the ''blind ones'' who accepted to let it be placed, all that is left would be awareness. that would be the most positive conclusion of such chip imo, and yet im not a fan of that either.

Yeah the risk are too high for just some commodities, they will need to really, really, really, give better benefits, that just a bunch to our laziness, other than an ID or key. It sounds like the perfect bait for suckers to get themselves tracked over their laziness.

they clap for a deadbolt?.. you login to win 7 using just your hand and get nothing....geez

I am a biologist and you are more into the electronic gadgets.I see more challenging asps.

How can you remove it if the passive chip moves to other location in the body? If you have codes to it pls pass mail us (for both NFC and RFID)

what is that lock that'll work with the chips they sell?

I don't want to be bio hacked... help me

but whats in your stack bro!?

How to hack illegally microchipped password? And how to learn programming and which computer language should be learned?

Lol reading these comments. I like reading what people think though. I like RFID. maybe not to the point of cutting myself, but still. This guy is kind of an... extremist but the technology is still cool. For example, he turns on his Suzuki with the wave of his hand (ive watched his videos). I will probably invest soon in an rfid ring or maybe dogtag for things similar. Cool technology, id like to see where it goes. Opinions welcome :)

apocalipse 13:16

cool biohacking but it's already been done watch the movie JOHNNY NMEMONIC!! I got 80gb in my head

I really like this, I'm just not comfortable with the idea that it's in your body. Like it's to permanent, but if they ever make like a bandagechip or something I would buy that immediately

I'm currently using puppy (linux) on my regular PC.

I want to put magnets in my fingers so I can feel magnetic fields too..

I would say bio hacking would be when someone hacked into your RFID.

WOT Waste of Time. The put a keycard in his hand. You can use it for phones or passwords, too. 17 Minutes.

LOGIC = HUMAN REASONING....FAITH = SPIRITUAL CONVICTION HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE SNAKE, ADAM AND EVE, AND THE RED APPLE

Card readers were unsuccessful from vandals/micro reader not..? Just get a retina reader.

I may include this word in my dictionary ..

cool

i understand the dream like putting your hand on your phone being able to read phone without looking at it but that bulshit he put in his hand he could hang on his keys i mean just dont lose them... this isnt a real upgrade xray vision wings to fly extra arms an extra seth of lunges so u can smoke more sure but the ability to never lose ur key or forget your pasword dude... cmmon ?

all good until he needs to get an MRI

Jesus, of course this guy comes up with a way to not have to remember passwords or exert energy. Is this progress.

Sorry, i will not support RFID chips and i will never plant one in my hand either..

YES!!! Everyone please read the Bible! I did, now I know how full of shit it really is.

I don't like this Ted Talk...

Not a very graceful speaker, but I can appreciate the direction of the technology. I've been on to the dangerous things website but sadly, not much information is offered as to what can be done with the chip once it's implanted, which is a little discouraging.

A chip in my body? No thanks.

I plan on getting chipped at some point. I wanna do it before the NSA/government gets to it

This is old stuff, the bible talked about this 2000 years ago....Christian people already knew about the chip long before people knew what a car was!!!! DONT TAKE THE CHIP. Choose Jesus!!!!!! Do research, read the Bible.

does biohacking include the cheese burgers that this guy obviously had for lunch?

this is madness

Trying desperately to get the public to do this - even to try to persuade the public to hack themselves - the money involved is not the point by any means.....control is of utmost concern them.....and of course their ability to switch off your life source ....

so you cant be a boxer

ow. really. nothing but pain and nerve damage. how do you propose to introduce a cyborg tech that receives wireless radio wave born electric charge when such a piece of gadgetry can be so easily hacked by some anonymous moron with a radio frequency emitter who then 'fires up the emitter' in order to see the 'targeted victim inflicted with cyborg gear' writhing in pain and begging for the electronic charge to stop. reference: for the last 15 or so years in Ottawa, Canada, low frequency emitters at detectable levels all shitting out enough Doppler wave electricity to have those unfortunate enough to have 'cyborg gear' begging and pleading for the pain to end (no regulatory enforcement and a regulatory regime that relies on 'self control' for compliance to national and international protocols for frequency transmission). (note: cyborg tech implants in Ottawa currently include, amongst other things Mr. Graafstra (you got only TWO? shit. I got 10 and they are beyond 'opening doors' my friend - cross reference Kevin Warwick and the University of Reading), adjuncts which allow the eyes to receive a video feed (causing blindness right here in Ottawa); adjuncts to the chest and the throat and ears which allow the voice to bend radio waves in order to 'broad cast digitally' or to 'capture the voice of another' (this right here in Ottawa too! and a life of hell is born!!!). those familiar with your 'cyborg shit' hate it. it is a painful debilitating march to death masquerading as 'fun science for the demented and the abusive'.

lmao im not gonna tag myself. fuck dat

This is a lie.

This is EVIL!

why does it make me feel squeamish whenever i hear about biohackig its freaking cool but I feel like ugh

I know it sounds good, but that's what it will be. But it's not! They eventually will control you, think about this!

Men wanting to be like god's just as the Bible said. As in the days of Noha so shall it be! Satan is very hard at work trying to destroy his creation.

Good ol' rape and slave condoning bible that spells out good and evil right? Don't forget that "the knowledge of good and evil" is original sin, so if you want to avoid sin you should stop thinking about whats right or wrong.

Maybe your the one who needs more information........ You need to go for a walk in nature to get it. LOL

Christians in the audience be like " this is the mark of the beast"
