MEMBER SHOUT OUT!

Inara Tabir, H+ Space Liasion


My dreams are so big only SPACE can hold them.

In her own words: "Over the years, I have been involved in numerous organizations that share the goal of making humanity a multiplanetary and space-faring species. One of my notable contributions has been bridging the realms of Hollywood and Space in my capacity as Executive Director at Gaaays in Spaaace and my role at UniVRso.

Through these roles, I have worked to bring together various industries, including fashion, art, music, and luxury brands, with a firm commitment to ensuring that space remains a diverse and accessible domain. I refer to this mission as "Going Beyond Inclusion." In my capacity as the president of the Multiplanetary Society, I use this platform to unite the space community, recognizing that building a true civilization requires interconnecting spacers and transhumanists alike." Inara's Website!

EXTROPIC THOUGHTS

Transhumanism: Critical rationalism, not omniscient reason or scientism


Max More examines another off-target criticism in part 3 of his True Transhumanism series.


Life is Getting Better: Why Don’t We Believe it?


The common conviction that things are getting worse presents a major obstacle to the growth and success of life extension and biostasis. This essay shows how most people have a falsely pessimistic view of human progress.
