I think one of the main problems that the extropian - transhumanist
movement faces is lack of favorable exposure on mainstream media. The
little exposure that we get tends to be mocking or openly hostile. The
likes of Kass and Fukuyama get much more and much better exposure.
By mainstream big media I simply mean getting a lot of readers (hits,
listeners, viewers, ...) and being recognized as a player by other
mainstream big media. Miscellaneous examples: The Economist, MSNBC,
Slashdot, Salon.
Thanks for your post. I have one suggestion: Why don't you send this
email letter to Extropy Institute and request that we discuss your ideas at
our next board meeting? This way action can be taken to review your ideas
and see if they can be acted upon.
So many ideas are lost on such a busy list. Better to send the ideas
directly to ExI with how you see a role for yourself in implementing
them. First, we cannot accomplish goals alone; second, the big player are
less than 6 degrees of separation - they are very close by. Sometimes, so
close that we forget to look at them.
best,
Natasha
