   I have purchased some land in [2]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
   [3]Charlie Stross, and SENS leader [4]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.
   These are two screenshots of the building I have quickly assembled at
   uvvyland @ extropia core - I am trying to optimize the lights for
   Windlight (the new atmospheric renderer in SL, currently in beta).
