Except among a very small and select group, Extropian/transhuman ideas do not
usually receive serious attention. Often they are scoffed at and their
purveyors
ridiculed -- if not outright ignored. This does seem to be the case with
cryonics,
though other forms of life extension are slowly gaining ground. MNT suffers
from
it too, though to a lesser degree, especially if the more outlandish claims
are kept
under raps.
Knowing that many others are already trying to do a good PR job, I would like to
suggest trying to recruit a big name actor or actress to the movement. It
sounds
stupid, but it seems to work for a lot of other movements, causes and ideas.
Just a small suggestion.
