[extropy-chat] Another Extropian for the Board of the WorldTranshumanist Association?

[Jose Cordeiro]

Indeed, Giulio, we want "rational", "good", and "hard working" people in the WTA Board. As you pointed out, we would not want a Raelian, for example, or any "kooks" or "crazy" people. But Extropians, Singularitarians, Immortalists, and all other transhumanists are gladly welcome in the new WTA Board:-)

Reading between the lines of Jose's note (please Jose correct me if I am wrong), I sense a feeling that the WTA is not "global" and "inclusive" enough.
In some sense this is correct: for example racists and holy warriors of all sorts are just not welcome in the WTA. But barring such extremes, I believe all WTA voting members who wish to support the WTA with hard work, rationality and common sense, and who wish to do their best to work productively with other transhumanists who do not share precisely the same political or philosophical persuasion, are welcome to run for the Board.

Please, let me tell you that I will totally support you since I am working for a more "global" and "inclusive" WTA.





La vie est belle!
