[2][3] Dvorsky presented an argument for non-human animal biological uplift at the IEET Human Enhancement Technologies and Human Rights conference at Stanford University in May 2006;[10][11] and wrote the first published article in defence of the Ashley Treatment in November 2006,[12][non-primary source needed] and subsequently the only bioethicist cited by Ashley X's parents in their defense.

In its place, Dvorsky, Ćirković, and Bradbury advocated for what they called Dysonian SETI, namely the search for those signatures and artefacts indicative of highly advanced extraterrestrial life.

[15][non-primary source needed] Dvorsky has written extensively in favor of space exploration and has both promoted and criticized various Megascale engineering concepts.

[16][17][18][19][non-primary source needed] Dvorsky gained some notoriety in 2012 after writing about Dyson spheres, hypothetical structures intended to collect the entire energetic output of a star with solar power collectors.

And how long until his solar collectors gather that much energy back, and we’re in the black?At one AU – which is the distance of the orbit of the Earth, the Sun emits 1.4 x 103 J/sec per square meter.
