I think on first view it is a good idea, but I we may be viewed as
another wacko group preaching the sermon. I hope not. There has been a
greater swing towards Transhumanist themes on channels such as Discovery and

It would be good to see a program dedicated to us and some of the things
we are doing to progress the human state for the betterment of mankind. Maybe
we could put a program together ourselves, Im sure between us we have the
resources and certainly the talent and enough subject matter to keep the
average Joe interested for an hour.
