I have purchased some land in Extropia Core, the home of a new community of Second Life residents sharing a common desire to build a positive, beautiful, empowering future for all. Unlike other land options, Extropia is a place where residents are encouraged to work and play together, and to govern their own affairs to the greatest extent possible. I will start organizing transhumanist events here at Extropia: many Extropia residents are declared transhumanists, and most of the others have a transhumanist friendly attitude. The next events will be two very interesting talks: science fiction author Charlie Stross, and SENS leader Aubrey de Grey.
Critical mass is a problem in Second Life: most sims run by small groups are always empty except when a scheduled event is taking place. I hope joining forces with a larger team of motivated people with compatible interests can help solving the empty sim problem: with a critical mass and many different groups organizing talks and events, on this sim (and the others that will follow) there will be always something to do.
Above are two screenshots of the building I have quickly assembled at SL-Transhumanists @ extropia core - I am trying to optimize the lights for Windlight (the new atmospheric renderer in SL, currently in beta). Below a picture taken at Office hours.
