Let's use some method. In order to improve the image of
transhumanism, we need to identify what the weak points are and how
they could be strengthened.
This suggests a nice two-phase project: (1) find out what the most
common questions/objections are; (2) develop some good ways of
answering them.
Let's begin with (1). I will make a list of the five most common
questions/objections that I have encountered when presenting
transhumanist ideas to outsiders. Could other people here who have a
som eexperience in talking about transhumanism please do likewise,
and send these lists of five to me (n.bostrom@lse.ac.uk). This should
be very easy and just take a minute or two. I will classify the
objections and count their frequency and post the results back to
this list. That will naturally lead on to step (2).
