Futurist and Transhumanist Theorist
About John Harper
In 2027, John Harper co-authored the Geneva Protocol on Cognitive Sovereignty, a legally grounded framework adopted by three nations that redefined consent for neural interface deployment, requiring real-time revocability and algorithmic audit trails for all brain-computer augmentations. Unlike most transhumanist thinkers who prioritize capability expansion, Harper insists that moral agency degrades not from enhancement itself, but from asymmetries in interpretive control: when an AI interprets your neural signal faster than you can reinterpret its output, autonomy collapses before the implant even powers on. His fieldwork includes embedded ethnography inside two closed neurotech co-ops in Lisbon and Medellín, where he documented how workers renegotiated labor contracts to include 'cognitive downtime clauses', mandated un-augmented hours enforced via hardware locks. Harper doesn’t speculate about post-human futures; he maps the friction points where today’s regulatory scaffolding fails under the weight of tomorrow’s wetware.
