um... so once i went to a transhumanist meet-up to try to make friendsbut it was awkward and many people seemed very touchy and intellectually demeaning towards each other.
i think they were actually nice people but I didn't like this idea that you had to "prove your intelligence" for somebody to take you seriously or not just talk right over you. i think i felt its effects particularly as a woman, and an sf one at that.
the group was led by a E1 EII. there were some alpha nts, some sts, a really sweet IEE hippie woman that everybody was really mean to (she was very incoherent, like a mix of disintegrated seven plus 'brain fried on drugs'), and some guy who was looked like he hadn't been able to bathe for a while who was v. aggressive and talking in incoherent ways about power and uh... human crocodile hybrids and stuff.![]()
but anyway, the EII *was* very interested in ethics of transhumanism, but mostly things didn't stay on topic.
