I'd be very interested in this. At the moment, the names "Extropianism"
and "Transhumanism" are pretty new to me, and I'm not exactly sure what
exactly the difference is. The way I see it, Transhumanism is probably a
part of Extropianism, but I wouldn't be sure if - for example part of
the Extropian Principles - can be found in Transhumanism,too.
Would it be correct to say "Extropians are more critical than
Transhumanists"?
I'm living in Munich, Germany and am currently trying to find a few
people around me who are open to Extropian ideas for discussion - since
next week my vacation will be over (I'm studying
computer-science/engineering and communication studies), I'll probably
have very limited time for that - there's just too much interesting
stuff to learn, and for the next 4 months I'll focus on University ;-)
later,
Holger
