Greetings Extropian Beings...
It's been a while. I was briefly subscribed to this list a couple years
ago, an interval during which I managed to irritate a number of you by
arguing for the compatibility of transhumanism and democratic socialism...
Well, I've been spending the last few years, not thinking about social
theory, but building a thinking machine. We're about 3/4 done, but we've
run out of money. We're trying to get more!
A fuller version of the "Webmind Inc." story may be found at

I know that this list is not supposed to be used for solicitations of
business. But, this is not really a solicitation of business, it's a
solicitation of group creative problem-solving. Also, I think some of the
lessons I've learned in working on Webmind Inc. and the Webmind AI Engine
for the last 3 years may be of some value to some of you folks, who are
trying in your own ways to work toward grand transhuman visions, in this
conservative, rarely forward-looking world...
Ben
