On October 12, 2015, I spoke on the main stage of Emerce eDay in the Kromhouthal in Amsterdam, part of the Dutch eWeek. The presentation ran my usual gauntlet, bloody procedure videos included, and then went somewhere most conference talks don't: a volunteer came forward for a live chip installation, and I pulled on medical gloves right there on stage.
Afterward, Leonieke Daalder sat me down for Fast Moving Targets, which streamed interviews with eDay's speakers all day. Their write-up of our conversation closed with the Dangerous Things credo, quoted in full: "We believe our bodies are our own, to do with what we want, and that biohacking is the forefront of a new kind of evolution. The 'socially acceptable' of tomorrow will be defined by boundaries pushed today, and we're excited to be a part of it."
That is still the clearest version of the argument I have, even if it took me sixteen minutes to unpack it. The full conversation is below.
