This is really a cannot miss event. You know I have problems staying awake for Saturday Salons, but I will suck hot espresso coffee from a baby bottle the whole day to be there.
The article of Au is so interesting, I will think about it and write about it.
Of course the SL tech of today could not receive or run a mind upload, but who knows what SL may become in a timescale relevant to mind upload (I would say, 30 to 100 years).
OK let's plan and schedule the launch of the First Gaian Church of Our Cosmic Avatar.

I was hoping we might get you on a stimulant mix for that one!

One would hope I'd be enough stimulant for Giulio to last him a lifetime, but he's a spoiled one.

Thank You for Arranging Today's Talk. ext_9164 March 16 2008, 02:50:07 UTC

It doubtless took more work than I suspect. learned a good deal about recent Catholic history and religion in Second Life.

Aha! I hadn't connected you and your AV! I'm glad you could make it, and I greatly enjoyed your comments.

I think you'll like next week's Salon as well - hope to see you there!

It was really a great event. I will contact Soren to continue the discussion, there are several things I wish to discuss with him. At the end of the month, SL-Transhumanists will organize a religion-related seminar of the Mormon Transhumanist Association (!!! - don't think what you may be thinking and come listen to Lincoln, you will be surprised)

Giulio, I'm so glad you could make it! Between you and Michel Manen, bringing so many of the SL-Transhumanists and the Andalusians added to the diversity and richness of the discussion.

I've been talking with Michel about a cross-community conference on the future of religion: the three of us should sit down soon and do some planning!
