<div>Hi All -</div><div><div><br></div><div>I hope this post is appropriate here.</div><div><br></div><div>Over a year ago, it was pointed out on the ExtroBritannia (H+UK) list that a good way to influence public opinion (or at least perceived public opinion) in favour of transhumanism is to comment on online articles - particularly in major mainstream publications - and to follow up those comments where conversations are sparked. The idea is that it doesn't take many such comments for newspaper editors and the like to realise that there is an audience with and for pro-tech opinions, which subsequently seems to influence editorial decisions on which articles to print. Most importantly, in order to be effective such comments must be intelligent, friendly, and open-minded.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some of us on ExtroB briefly discussed the possibility of setting up an H+UK "media intervention team", pooling resources in order to make such interventions most effective. Anders Sandberg even suggested using the colourful name "Wolfpack" for the team.</div>
<div><br></div><div>At the time, the idea went no further. As part of my new <a href="http://zerostate.net">Zero State</a> project, however, I've set up a wiki page for the Wolfpack, as originally discussed. The plan is to create a new entry under that page documenting each media intervention, with a few brief notes on any feedback. When anyone is planning a new comment or article in any publication, they can check the list for any previous interventions which may yield useful material, which you may freely use as you see fit.</div>

<div><br></div><div>This is a Google Sites wiki, closed to the public, so you must request permission to access it.</div><div><br></div><div>Regardless of whether you're remotely interested in any other aspect of the ZS project, I do hope you'll consider making at least one comment in favour of transhumanism or technology on any media site, and using the Wolfpack resource in order to make your effort most effective. If you document your intervention - a simple cut'n'paste which takes a few seconds - then you will also be helping those who follow in your footsteps.</div>
