# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Discussion

• Kanzure shared an extensive collection of research papers on longevity, stem cells, and neuroscience (http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/) and mentioned developing "drugstack.com" for nootropics information, demonstrating the community's focus on open-source knowledge sharing for transhumanist research.

• The group discussed the current state of organ printing technology, with some members claiming functional 3D-printed organs are already in use, while others noted that a community member named Jordan was building a tissue printer design planned for publication in Nature.

• Participants debated the technical challenges of bioprinting organs, particularly the complexity of printing protein structures that determine cell behavior and specialization, with some suggesting that conventional organ replacement approaches might be more viable in the near term.

• The conversation revealed a philosophical divide in the transhumanist community between those focused on building/creating technologies versus those primarily interested in discussing technological news.

• Members discussed alternative intelligence measurement approaches, expressing skepticism about traditional IQ tests and high-IQ societies, with some advocating for quantifiable skills assessment platforms like Smarterer.com.

• The group shared resources on assistive technologies for the visually impaired, including refreshable braille displays and electrotactile stimulus arrays like BrainPort, demonstrating interest in human augmentation technologies.
