With all my new time (done with the thesis, one final today and I’m done) I’ve been thinking about what to do…
How do people feel about a Transhumanist discussion group? Once a month or every other month or so. I need actual responses of interest, not “gee, that sounds fun, I’ll say yes but then never actually show up”
If there’s bourbon involved might be a good person to have along. I’m interested in the idea, but I knowing how my schedule tends to be, I’d likely be a rather sporadic attendee.
Thank you for directing me his way. I’ve posted to his LJ to ping for interest.
It would be nice to have you there… any particular days that would work best for you?
On weekdays most evenings after 6-7pm are ok. I’d say skew the timing to favor the schedules of others before mine though.
I’m interested, on the basis that I love talking neo-philosophy. Hrm, a bit of a drive down to Bloomington. Still, c’est possible.
One doesn’t have to identify as Transhumanist, I assume…
Nope, just have interest and ideas to offer. I assume it’ll end up being discussion on a myriad of topics, but with a Transhumanist perspective. Outside thoughts always help.
What days work best for you?
Mon/Tues, 6:30p-11:00p
Sat/Sun, 10:00a-11:00p
I’d come along if it doesn’t interfere with my work schedule and take pictures/notes.
That would be awesome. And you know how I love the SteamPunk perspective to call into question the CyberPunk perspective.
gee, that sounds fun, I’ll say yes but then never actually show up.
uhhhh.
congrats on the thesis business. i just got back from having mine printed/bound. i feel amazing! however, iiiii have 5 days of finals left.
id def be interested in coming to one of your groups. i wouldnt have much to say, but my presence, in your presence will be enough.
Have fun with those finals!
It would be good to hang out outside of class, methinks.
When works for you for chillin’ and/or to attend a group gathering?
If I were to be in town when one happened, I’d attend. (Not that this likely helps your planning, but it sounds like a neat idea.)
That would be awesome. And maybe I’ll continue once on the West Coast. Then it’s just an 8 hour drive instead of a 25 hour drive (estimations only).
I’d love to, and that spacing certainly makes it easier on my driving to make it up there for every meeting.
Awesome, what days work for you?
ping me interested.
What’s the schedule like? Days that work and such?
Yay! Done is good.
I am not sure what a Transhumanist is? So in turn I am not sure if I should say yea or nay to coming to a discussion on the subject.
You can read about it here.
And as I said above, outside thoughts are always welcome.
Sounds interesting, if my schedule allows you can count on me being there.
I am off on Sunday nights, but Monday, Wednseday and Fridays I could come before work.
I’d be there.
Yay! What days work for you?
I’m pretty open in the evenings, weekday-wise. Wednesdays are often bad. Also, Sundays.
I’m working on feminist embodiment (lots of Haraway and thus cyborgs) and posthumanism at the moment. Count me in.
Awesome. When works for you?
In the summer, my schedule is pretty flexible (though I will be gone most of June). But basically anytime except Thursday nights and possibly Wednesday after 8 would be open.
i love the idea of learning about transhumanism. i’m not sure how much i can add, but i specialize in theoretical analysis. i quite enjoyed the art criticism group i was in a few years ago. does this level of interest and perspicacity quality me?
I would love for you to be there, Chess. What’s the schedule like for best days?
I’d love to take part in such a group. Mr. Stone’s presentation about it was very exciting and interesting (cyborg tentacles!). Though I’m wholly opposed to all technology. Is that a problem? 😀

It would be awesome if you’d attend! What days would work for you?
Pretty much any, actually, far as I know. I’ll be gone from the 9th to the 22nd next month, but during the usual week, I’m pretty most evenings. Schedule’s still flexible.
Yay! I look forward to antagonizing and being beaten up by you technocrats with your Terminator-y arms of squishing.
