Interview with Rudy Rucker, by G.P., September 1, 2002. ...Broadly speaking,
transrealism is writing about your immediate perceptions in a fantastic
way. Working day to day reality into your SFictional constructions ...As
I understood him, Gödel said that his theorems prove that you can?t in fact
specify a formal system whose power is equal to your mind...
Transhumanism and the philosophy of Ayn Rand, by Marc Geddes, September
1, 2002. This article is a brief explanation and critique of the philosophy
of Ayn Rand from a transhumanist perspective. The focus will be on several
key points of differences between transhumanism and objectivism... It is
argued that Objectivism holds rigid, limited views on certain points, and
these conflict with transhumanism. But it is also argued that Objectivism
helped to play a role in the development of transhumanist thought and that
the defense of liberty and individualism is a key part of the transhumanist
philosophy known as Extropianism...
