In this episode, Jeff and Andy discuss the value of an epic name; the boundaries and overlaps between our definitions of “technology” and “humanity”; the ethics of enhancements vs. extensions of human capacity; the difference between devices and instruments and why it matters for our understanding of human personhood; finding a community of other “delusionals” in San Francisco; and the eternal purpose of a prosthetic leg.

Their dialogue is a fascinating back-and-forth exploration of the possibilities, tensions, and limits of technological progress from a convicted Christian perspective.

Jeff discusses the work of Standard Cyborg, which started as a maker of prosthetic devices; then developed software to design custom prosthetics and orthotics; and has now matured into a provider of tools for developers to use 3D scanning and modeling to design any number of precise custom applications.

Jeff’s story reveals his relentless pursuit of “moreness” in his vocation as a technologist.
