[ExI] Transhumanism: Knowledge Source & Media Center Online

[Natasha Vita-More]

I don't see either scenario as a problem because an activist or entrepreneur
with a deep respect for the subject needs a long-term desire for it.
Alternatively, without these characteristics, I do see it as a problem.
However, since the core tenet of transhumanism is to extend human life,
furthered by the prospect of building platform diversified people, its locus
of experience coalesces a transdisciplinarity which innately feeds itself by
continuing to emerge/evolve.  Sort of like extropy. So, your concern is
probably not a problem for those still living and attempting to promote life
extension as a practice.  It seems practicable that keeping a garden
fertilized and crops maintained is the right thing to do.  

I think that what is needed is multi-media expose - a visual narrative that
is quite different from the text-based wikis. Maybe gaming or the next phase
of user-narrative experiences has an advantage because it is entertaining.
So this gets me thinking on new levels.  But the key is knowledge.

It's not my preferred term either.  But the thought is something like this:

1. You get energetic for a project.
2. You make it on your own site, which starts out with not so many visitors.
3. You only have so much energy to put into the project, after which you let
it lie fallow.
4. It continues to get not so many visitors, and winds up not accomplishing
much.

-or-

2. You add the project to a site which already has other people promoting
it, and which has a larger audience.
3. You only have so much energy to put into the project, but other people
take notice and contribute their energy.
4. Once you've gone away from the project, it continues to live and be
updated and attract new visitors.
