\"\"<\/a>On September 25th<\/sup> close to thirty people, at the BCSSS and in the online live webcast, attended Cadell Last<\/a>\u2019s lecture on his PhD thesis, his \u201clife time project\u201d, which he presented for the very first time in a public event.<\/p>\n

Stefan Blachfellner, Managing Director of the BCSSS, welcomed the large number of attendees and introduced Cadell with a look back on how the BCSSS and Cadell met. This summer two representatives of the BCSSS participated at the First Summer School of Thinking<\/a> by the Montparnasse Initiative, where the connection between the young philosopher and the BCSSS started.<\/p>\n

Cadell came to Vienna to present some core ideas from the first three sections of his PhD Thesis titled \u201cGlobal Brain Singularity: Universal History, Future Evolution and Humanity\u2019s Dialectical Horizon<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

He presented three foci of his work and his thesis, 1) What is the world?; 2) Consequences of human actions in the world; and 3) All humans and technological interaction.<\/p>\n

With his dissertation Cadell attempts to approach an understanding of what he calls global brain singularity, which is conceived of as a future metasystem transition mediated by psychosocial and technological mechanisms towards a higher qualitative level of existence.<\/p>\n

Cadell is a PhD candidate at the Global Brain Institute<\/a> at Vrije Universiteit Brussels<\/a> and gives full access to his dissertation online<\/a>.\u00a0A video of the full lecture he hold in Vienna is also available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
