What does it mean to be human in an age of accelerating technological transformation?
Join acclaimed author and researcher Gregg Braden in conversation with David Lorimer for a timely and thought-provoking dialogue inspired by Gregg’s newest book, Pure Human. Together, they will explore the deeper questions emerging at the intersection of consciousness, technology, and the future of our species.
As developments in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and visions of human enhancement continue to accelerate, we are invited to reflect more deeply on the essential qualities that define our humanity. In this conversation, Gregg considers the possibility that the future of human evolution may not lie in technological augmentation, but rather in awakening the innate capacities that already exist within us. These include our ability for empathy, emotional depth, connection, and the cultivation of heart-centered awareness.
Drawing from both scientific insight and spiritual inquiry, Gregg will share his perspective on what he calls our “pure human” potential—an inherent intelligence that supports healing, resilience, and coherence within both individuals and communities. David Lorimer will guide the conversation to explore how these ideas relate to the broader cultural moment, inviting reflection on how we navigate rapid change with discernment, agency, and a grounded sense of what we value most.
Rather than offering simple answers, this dialogue opens a space for inquiry into the kind of future we are shaping, and the role that consciousness, ethics, and human connection will play in that unfolding. It is an invitation to consider how we might remain rooted in the depth and dignity of our humanity while engaging thoughtfully with the possibilities and challenges of our time.
