Speaking of transhumanism and LessWrong, let me know if you’re interested in knowing more about the early history, especially how it grew out of earlier discussions starting on the extropians mailing list. I’m not sure exactly what you might like to know, but I’m happy to pass on some of the history to others if they want to do something with it.
I’ve captured the key info for future expansion but I don’t have the time to dive the entire list myself, so understanding notable people, conversations and activities would be greatly appreciated!
I have written the most comprehensive high-level history of transhumanism and I would love to flesh out these earlier days better. Grab me on Slack or did you prefer some other channel?
I guess more broadly I’m saying if you want to know how we got from late 90s transhumanism to rationality, I was part of that story the whole way so remember a lot of things that happened that I don’t think are documented or, at the least, already connected by a historical narrative.

Absolutely!

Actually I wasn’t already on LW Slack so waiting on an invite (messaged Elo as described in the wiki).
Yeah, Slack is fine. I’m not usually on it but I can be. We’ll coordinate further there.
