Meetups will revolve around the resources provided on www.betterhumans.com. Betterhumans is an online community of forward thinkers dedicated to discussing, celebrating and creating the future. Through the facilitation and aggregation of informative and provocative content and the creation and application of enabling communications technology, we aim to get more people thinking about the future, inspire people into assuming a proactive and participatory role in its creation and build, lead and support an informed movement for positive change. The Editor-in-Chief is Toronto-based George Dvorsky who will be a frequent contributor to our meetups. Discussions will revolve around transhumanism-related topics like nanotechnology, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, life extension, and the emerging global superorganism. you do not have to be a self-proclaimed transhumanist to join our meetups. We will view a video or read an article based on http://www.betterhumans.com and engage in a topical discussion. In regular attendance will be George Dvorsky, President of the Toronto Transhumanist Association and Editor-in-Chief of www.betterhumans.com
Meetups will take place at the Centre for Inquiry Ontario (http://www.cfiontario.org), the first venue in Canada dedicated to promoting reason, science and free inquiry in all areas of human endeavour.
The purpose of these meetup is:
1. To spark discussion on transhumanism-related topics for anyone interested in topics like nanotechnology, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, life extension, and the emerging global superorganism.
2. To serve as a social milieu for those calling themselves transhumanists
3. To drum up leadership for renewing the Toronto Transhumanist Association
