Hello All,
My idea is to combine a few thoughts I had about a starting point
and a history of the Transhuman movement.
I would like to have one source of information were people can start
reading about all (a lot :-) of the aspects of Extropy an >H.
Building up from History towards the future................
Therefor I post this start text, which is of cause not much, but
well.........
it's a start. I suggest that all who like and know something of a specific
subject send to my personal address their contribution. This way we
will keep the traffic low on the list.
I will compose from all your contributions a new text, and repost it
again. This we will repeat a few times, until we will have a satisfying
text/source/well...................
What I would like to see develop is an optimistic and easy to read
scientific correct story about.......well........basically about everything
:-)
But as I mentioned in the text, every line will have a number in front
of it, so that anybody can refer to this text and his or her own
opinion and additional information.
So to make it a bit clearer. Someone who knows a lot about the DNA,
will write and introduction to it (the basic concept) and in relation to
the main text. For a detailed look into the matter, you can click on the
number in front of the line, were you will find links, opinions, and
references
to books, etc........
To kick it off, and get it on the road, I would like to suggest that:
Anders, starts with the intro, the big bang, earth
Max, starts with Civilization, and Now, and Future
Doesn't have to be much, and you will probably have a lot of text
you can easily copy. It's just the first structure !?
Can I post it as .doc ??
I will repost it with numbers per line on the 4th of November.
So that we can start the discussion, and building process.
And all the other people who would like to help can start adding
their text.
Also as suggestion:
update 8 November
update 12 November
update 15 November
update 19 November
update 22 November
final version for the year 1998 post on 29 November.
USA and UK can relax, Sweden and the Netherlands can start the
translation work :-)
>From what I've read until now in the Extropy list, there are a lot of
people with scientific knowledge, writing skills and enthusiast/
optimistic/fun thoughts and opinions. I hope "we" can combine al
this power in one very good "bible :-) of Transhumanism"
Hope to hear from you all soon !!
Greetings, :-)
Berrie
