[extropy-chat] Caltech Extropians and Transhumanists

[Colin Magee]

            I am curious to know if anybody here knows of any major 
scientists/researchers at Caltech who are sympathetic to or interested in 
Transhuman/Extropian issues.They could be in any one of the following 
fields:nanotechnology,artificial intelligence,biotechnology,computer 
science,cognitive science,neuroscience,or any other major field of interest 
to Extropians/Transhumanists.Two of the major Transhumanist/Extropian 
thinkers-Ray Kurzweil and Marvin Minsky are from MIT and so is Eric 
Drexler(although I don't know if he specifically identifies himself as an 
Extropian/Transhumanist-but since I am somewhat of a novice in this area,I 
could be mistaken).I was just wondering if there is anyone from Caltech 
similar in stature to Ray Kurzweil or Marvin Minsky interested in this 
area.Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

                                                                             
                 Sincerely,
