Notability concerns for this person; article reads like a resume. References about him seem to be mostly his own content. He appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast but that doesn't demonstrate notability. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 22:56, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has (co-)written 14 books, one was reviewed in the New York Times; has been written about in the Wall Street Journal and twice in the New York Times  . AxelBoldt (talk) 03:13, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. as per 'Notability (academics)'. It reads a little like an ad but still a notable person. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 09:20, 19 January 2019 (UTC)).


 * Keep. You don't have to agree with him to see that he is notable. Books, conferences - he was on Joe Rogan because he is a known quantity in singularity and transhumanist circles with a recognizable point of view.Wetwarexpert (talk) 19:24, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: Reviews of his work seem limited but there's a couple of additional ones. For weight against WP:NACADEMIC, citations of his work are at Google Scholar. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 10:19, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
