COVID-19 left us with the stark realisation that citizens must take responsibility for their future health. This emphasis on self-care can help us advance moral and ethical debates around human enhancement. Replacing dystopian ideas of racial improvement (i.e. Eugenics) with more pluralistic, egalitarian policies supporting self-improvement (i.e. Augenics).

To empower Augenics, there’s opportunity to pioneer a new housing standard fusing wellness labs with coliving spaces — Labhouse® . A real estate blueprint enabling diverse groups of at-risk youth to harness their untapped potential, build personal health solutions, and monetise their biocapital through a supportive community of mentors. Ensuring future innovations work for everyone.

Unlike state and private clinics that lock people out of healthcare decision-making and innovation, collaborative ownership central to the Labhouse® model means people have vested interest in creating their own futures. Personalising healthcare like never before.

The benefits of creating a global Labhouse® network would far outweigh the risks. Indeed, one of Britain’s finest inventions, the Welfare State (created from the ashes of Fascist Europe) is a clear reminder that people are indeed “stronger together”. Likewise, Labhouse® could be the timely political antidote humanity needs to unf*ck itself from from potential extinction events.

If done well, giving people the “freedom to unf*ck themselves” at their local Labhouse® could spark a transenlightened generation  —  armed with the power to politicise self expression for the greater good. Grounded in the simple idea that “radical systems change starts with the self”.

New Rituals

“If human values are going to shape our technological evolution and allow our species to prevail, we will need new rituals to mark our transcendence, to show that we’re treating it seriously and taking responsibility.”
