    ACTIVITIES

    1) Anthroform robotics research (Upper extremities) with view to eventually
    producing custom made replacement limbs, also teleoperated limbs with human
    dexterity and sensory feedback.

    2) Spreading the word about Transhumanism and Extropians to the unsuspecting
    general populus.

    3) Teaching by example. I have quit the rat race, moved to a better area,
    Live a healthier lifestyle and show others how they can do the same.

    4) VOTE !!!!!!

    HOW TO HELP

    Regarding 1) Access to MRI, CT or high-res ultrasound equipment would be very
    helpfull for long term goals. Donations of kit and materials are always very
    welcome :o)

    Regarding 2) A 'guide to Transhumanism for Dummies' would be a very usefull
    thing. Many people are put off by the apparent Elitist and heavy 'high tech'
    emphasis of Transhumanism. Generally they run away from the idea because they
    think it is just for Boffins and nerds with high IQ's and letters after their
    name.

    Regarding 3) Get of your Arse and do all that stuff you know you can. Show
    others that it really isnt that hard to make a difference, Even if it just makes
    your own life better. This really is the key, people are reluctant to help
    others, but we all want to help ourselves. So do something to improve your life
    and then show others how to do the same.

    Alex

    P.S I wish I was at the cutting edge where I could make some major
    differences. I just hope that the little I am doing contributes to the bigger picture.
