It says a lot about the world as it exists today, that the most stirring 
and passionate interview I've ever seen on television, aired on 
Al-Jazeera, and could probably never air in the US.

Most transhumanists wouldn't ever dare speak with that much passion. 
You'd be afraid someone might accuse you of irrationality, or extremism. 
  Remember as you watch, that this is what it takes to change the world.
