David Pearce, co-founder of the WTA and creator of HedWeb (The
Hedonistic Imperative), will give a talk and a Q/A session in Second
Life on March 23, 10am SLT, on Utopian Neuroscience. A summary of
David's talk is on his website Superhappiness.

David promotes nothing less than the abolition of suffering in all
sentient life. He argues that the abolition of suffering can be
accomplished through Paradise Engineering (The Hedonistic Imperative).
David will try to distinguish between the Abolitionist Project -i.e.
getting rid of suffering, from a much more controversial claim: "I
predict that our superintelligent descendants will be animated by
gradients of bliss orders of magnitude richer than anything
physiologically accessible today".

Wikipedia: "David Pearce is a British philosopher and negative
utilitarian. He promotes the abolition of suffering in all sentient
life. His book-length internet manifesto The Hedonistic Imperative[1]
details how he believes the abolition of suffering can be accomplished
through "paradise engineering". A transhumanist vegan, Pearce also
calls for the elimination of cruelty to animals. Among his websites,
there are many devoted to the plight of animals".
