we need again a language, a language that will carry the new meanings of our existence.
I've always been a great believer in a project like this. It is unbelievably frustrating that many words have become so loaded with connotations the writer may be at odds with that it would greatly help if certain definitions would be embraced by like-minded people in the form of a glossary of the meaning a group of people agree upon for as long as it lasts. A while back a similar project was suggested by Al, and we have been seriously considering a functionality that would allow for something along these lines. As you propose, "natural" is definitely a good contender to start with. A while back SpaceCollective was part of an event organized by the site http://www.nextnature.net/, which takes a particularly ironic stand on the subject of technology as the new nature. Although the two sites appreciated each other, there was a classic disconnect based on undefined but very different interpretations of the term. I'd be very interested in hearing your definition. I also appreciated your consideration to modify the highly charged term Transhumanism into the word “ Transbeing”. It would be very interesting to see how much of a consensus the collective can arrive at.
