Oh my, Venerable. Thank you for that link to the essay on colonizing Mars. I was chuckling and laughing out loud at the utter foolishness of the mere idea of what Elon Musk holds dear.

yeah, sorry about that! These are all works-in-progress, but as I learned more about the topic I too eventually got bored, so I posted them as-is, but they could use a lot of refinement.

Greetings @Sujato,

Thanks. Well, like you said, the Friday Night talks are aimed at just that refinement, and so itā€™s working for me. BTW, are people way over here in States (Oregon) able to attend Friday nights live on Zoom?

best,

Itā€™s on Jitsi, which is similar to Zoom. Just click on the link given here: https://lokanta.github.io/

People do join from all over the world, but at the moment it would be 1am Friday for you, so maybe not so practical.

Thanks @mikenz66. For a night owl like me, itā€™s perfect. How fracking exciting! I hope that kind of ā€œā€˜fā€™ bombā€ is okay here. Actually, itā€™s more like an ā€œ'f fire crackerā€, or maybe even an ā€œ'f sparklerā€.

For anyone wanting more background on the motivation/reasoning behind some of the eugenics and rationalist views; this discussion is excellent. It focussed mostly around trans issues, but ties them in to the broader picture of what has been emerging. This talk was actually from mid-last year but is very relevant to Bhanteā€™s recent talk and the situation we all find ourselves in.

Iā€™m super keen to read more of Louise Richardson-Selfā€™s work after seeing this.
