More and more SL-Transhumanists

Some curious people are beginning to show up at the SL-Transhumanists office hours in Second Life. I think after with relaunch of an active transhumanist presence Second Life will be a really effective outreach tool.

Yesterday there was another group meeting at Extropia Core. Some 20 people came even if the meeting had not been announced on the available channels. Next meetings should be announced one day before, with a reminder a few hours before, on the Second Life group, the Facebook group, the Second Life event board, the transhumanist mailing lists, the Extropia Core news and event boards, and the blogs. I will now begin to contact all the topguns who have agreed giving a talk and try to organize an event schedule for the next few months. This group must be a mercurial ever-changing and evolving community of adventurous souls.

K writes on the SL-Transhumanists blog: “Right now us transhumanists come together in a medium that, a generation ago, could hardly be defined in adequate words. Second Life, again something often met with outright hostility, denial, ridicule or blank stares. The purpose is to use a novel platform to discuss a message, spread a frame of thinking to those interested in listening and taking part in the greater discussion. Change is coming, faster and faster, as those dark icy waters ascend along the slopes of the here and now. We don’t know where this all will head, and we don’t know if we are capable of impressing the world in time that pretty soon childhood is over”. A good manifesto for transhumanist outreach in Second Life.
