This is an interview with Paul Knight conducted concerning his experiences on Sikaiana after being shot down on Sikaiana during the Battle of the Eastern Solomon Islands, August 24, 1942. Three flyers were shot down on Sikaiana: Paul Knight, Calvin Crouch and the Captain, Harold Bingaman. Paul was wounded. This incident is discussed in an article that I wrote: 1989 "Far-away" and "Close-up": World War II and Sikaiana Perceptions of Their Place in the World, in G. White and M. Lindstrom, editors, The Pacific Theater: Islander Representations of World War II, pp 149-165.Honolulu:University of Hawaii Press. Visitors can also listen to songs that were composed by the Sikaiana people to commemorate the event. https://research.library.kutztown.edu/sikaiana_songs_traditional/5/ see time 42.39 and 48:51

In recent years, ideas of post- and transhumanism have been popularized by novels, TV series and Hollywood movies. According to this radical perspective, humankind and all biological life have become obsolete. Traditional forms of life are inefficient to process information and too inept at crossing the high frontier: outer space. While humankind can expect to be replaced by their own artificial progeny, post-humanists assume that they will become an immortal part of a transcendent superintelligence. Kruger's award-winning study examines the historical and philosophical context of these futuristic promises by Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Frank Tipler, and other posthumanist thinkers.
