jk4930kanzure: are you online?10:58
jk4930i meant, are you available at this time?10:58
@kanzurehello11:03
ybitjk493011:11
jk4930hey bryan, we've someone here in Germany who wants to push some kind of (skype?) chat with int'l H+ fellas. do you have experience with this (I guess so) and can gibe some advice?11:15
jk4930problem is that it's difficult to motive people to participate11:16
@kanzurehi jk493011:35
jk4930hi kanzure11:36
@kanzureare you asking for my skype id?11:36
jk4930no11:36
jk4930mom11:36
@kanzureare you asking for a list of skype ids?11:36
jk4930we have someone who likes to bring H+ers together via regular chats (e.g., Skype)11:37
@kanzurei'm just confused11:37
jk4930the handful of German transhumanists are a bit lazy wrt chatting and he wants to open the pool to more people11:37
@kanzurehave you talked with eugen leitl?11:37
jk4930not yet11:38
@kanzureyeah you should do that..11:38
jk4930eugen's advice is to use openqwak (or so)11:38
@kanzurethat's lame11:38
@kanzureignore that11:38
jk4930the other was teleplace11:39
@kanzuremeh11:39
jk4930:)11:39
@kanzurethat's horrible11:39
@kanzurewhy is he recommending those things11:39
@kanzureis he paid by giulio?11:39
jk4930the problem is not so much about tech, it's about bringing people (H+ers) together11:39
@kanzurewell, the h+ brand is completely worthless so i can see why..11:39
jk4930we tried to revive the chat in Germany, but there are only a handful of people active, thus not much response11:40
@kanzureyou could weasel off of some more active community or irc channel,11:40
jk4930he wants to open the pool so the chances are higher that people are willing to chat11:40
@kanzureuntil there's a substantial german faction11:40
@kanzurethe reality is, bootstrapping a chatroom takes years11:41
jk4930yeah11:41
@kanzurethis is the only remaining transhumanist irc channel11:41
jk4930what about the wta-talk mailinglist? i remember that there were some people who were willing to chat11:41
@kanzureand it rarely has ~80 people11:41
@kanzurethey killed off wta-talk11:41
jk4930do you know why?11:42
@kanzuretechnical incompetence11:42
jk4930:)11:42
@kanzurealso they didn't really seem to care, either11:42
@kanzureso nobody fixed it11:42
jk4930the thing prevalent in today's H+ community :(11:42
@kanzurejk4930: well, you can hang out in here and direct german transhumanists into this channel11:43
@kanzureand then when there's 4 or 5 regular german-speaking chatters, break off into a separate channel11:43
jk4930that's why i'm currently doing... :D11:43
@kanzurebut imagine just one guy shows up- and nobody's around-11:43
jk4930why -> what11:43
@kanzurehe'll probably leave..11:43
@kanzurewell, i'd be happy to offer links to tutorials for your german-speaking transhumanati to connect to irc11:43
jk4930thanks, I think i can do that for them11:44
jk4930is it okay when this guy mentioned above sends you an email? he wants to push this H+ networking forward and is very interested in your experience and advice11:46
jk4930his name is christoph11:46
@kanzurethat's fine.11:46
jk4930many thanks from me11:46
jk4930do you have any position at H+ at this time? i remember the gada prize and tech advice11:47
@kanzurenope, i'm no longer associated with them11:49
jk4930wow, you're still listed as director of R&D on their website11:50
@kanzureit's worse than that11:52
@kanzure:/11:52
jk4930-v11:52
jk4930could you give some explanation? (since I'm new vice chair of the German Transhumanist Assoc. I'm very interested in what's going on with our "mother organization")11:54
@kanzureumm haha11:55
@kanzureyes i could11:55
jk4930but you don't want... :)11:56
@kanzuresure i do..11:56
@kanzureit's just a lot to say11:56
@kanzurewhat is gta's goals?11:56
@kanzure*what are11:56
jk4930i've a parallel chat running (important), are you available in 2 hrs? otherwise i send you a mail11:58

@kanzurehe used to live down the street from me, until he moved for alcor21:11
Stee| kanz, is that how you got into the movement?21:19
Stee|or did you move to where he was?21:19
@kanzurenope.. it was just a coincidence that he lived nearby21:23
@kanzureso i stalked him and he invited me to thanksgiving in 2006 or 200721:23

omegacfxorly?22:25
omegacfxI've been reading his introductory stuff on transhumanism and extropianism and vomiting it back up into a blog, more of a learning thing for me I guess22:26
@kanzureomegacfx: it's good philosophy in my opinion,22:27
@kanzurebut i have always been a little disappointed in his execution of it22:28
@kanzureextropianism has been around since the 80s, 30 years is a long time to develop a lot of very particular skills for advancing transhumanism22:28
omegacfxI've been reading mostly stuff from here: http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Cultural/Philosophy/index-2.html#general22:29
omegacfxand I've browsed the humanity+ website, but haven't explored too much22:29
@kanzurei wouldn't recommend the humanity+ site.. sorry22:29
@kanzurewhat are you looking for?22:29
omegacfxwell, my understanding so far is very basic, I've read Max More's On Becoming Posthuman and about the five principles of extropianism, so thats all I really know at this point.22:30
@kanzureah, you should read his stuff on the proactionary principle22:31
omegacfxaside from reading fictional works that talk brush on it, like william gibson22:31
omegacfxok22:31
omegacfxdo you like stoic philosophy?22:34
@kanzurepossibly22:35
omegacfxI need to read more22:42
