I agree in total!  I'm finishing up my master thesis right now and want to 
focus on this as soon as possible - that would be in January.  One of ExI's 
goals is to offer a course on the future through Extropy Institute.  The 
material I have accumulated from my masters degree is highly relevant for 
this (Masters of Science in Studies of the Future).  Most of my work in 
this graduate program has been related to transhumanism in general and 
Extropy Institute and the future in particular.

I'll collaborate with anyone who wants to teach!

Best wishes,
Natasha

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective.
