Surf these sites: Bostrom, Nick -- Advanced topics in transhumanism. You''ll also find some hot material in analytic philosophy and computational neuroscience. Plus a work of Swedish poetry! [Editor''s note: Bostrom appears to be a genius - he completed three-and-a-half undergraduate programmes simultaneously - a Swedish record!] Forste, Eric Watt -- Extropian and Buddhist; coauthor of the Extropian FAQ. His vast array of transhumanist and anarchocapitalist interests makes him one of the archetypal Extropians. Hanson, Robin -- Economist and polymath; inventor of "Ideas Futures" markets; allegedly open-minded and politically undogmatic. His homepage is immodest(?) and says much about him, not necessarily bad things. Pearce, David: HedWeb -- Interests: how biotechnology will allow us to get rid of suffering in all sentient life (allegedly); animal rights; consciousness; psychopharmacology; and "Why does anything exist?" An attractive, thought-provoking, and many-tentacled site. Very Extropian Persons -- Eric Watt Forste''s list of people who are "extropian (or at the very least, transhumanist and not authoritarian)." Yudkowsky, Eliezer -- A neurohack and an extreme Singularitarian. His Web complex, "The Low Beyond", contains over a megabyte of original writing on topics ranging from coding a smarter-than-human AI to the meaning of life.
