[ExI] [wta-talk] Transhumanism in wikipedia - A Call for Max

[Natasha Vita-More]

It has been suggested in that a small group, or large group, of 
members of the WTA list ban together to edit the article and block 
those currently controlling the article.  I am opposed to this 
because it is taking the low road - and I think there are other 
options to deal with this unfortunate situation.

Related is that some of the few original authors in question were on 
the WTA mailing list in the first place.  The WTA mailing list is not 
necessarily object, just as no organization's owned mailing list can 
due to its own internal stakeholders and its desire to promote its own views.

What must occur is a balanced opinion by individuals who can cover 
the sections with as much ethnographic study and empirical knowledge 
as possible.  Those early writers, some of which are claimed to 
possess authority of this article, may not fully know the areas 
concerning transhumanism that they are writing on.

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. - Buckminster Fuller
