2022 Ferrando Lecture: Self-Interest and the Post-Individual

Join us at 7:30pm on March 31st in the Palmer Commons Forum Hall for the 2022 Ferrando Lecture given by Yancey Strickler:
"Self-Interest and the Post-Individual"

Self-interest and the post-individual

Our definition of “self” has changed considerably in the past two decades. We are no longer defined as merely physical or even spiritual beings — we contain multitudes of selves — physical, tribal, digital, virtual, spiritual — that coexist inside us. This is producing a new human experience: the post-individual. The post-individual is a state of being in which liberated individuals carry multiple, overlapping, group-based identities that are extensions of their self, that define who they are, that are more theoretical in nature, and that fill the space previous generations reserved for relationships with others. The post-individual isn't the end of the individual, it's a new hero's journey brought on by technology and the threat of global catastrophe. Join the writer and entrepreneur Yancey Strickler, founder of Kickstarter, Bentoism, The Creative Independent, and Metalabel, and the author of "This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World" as he explores the sweeping changes around and inside all of us.
