I'd like "betterhumanity.org" -- it seems more inclusive. It also seems
more realistic. Better "humans" implies we remain separate entities.
While many may desire that, it seems probable that many may seek to
meld minds in ways we cannot even imagine now. It certainly seems
that the technological path for high bandwith 4G, 5G, 6G communications
systems combined with brain implants and other forms of cyborgization
will take us in that direction -- it probably doesn't even require
"robust" nanotech.
