There's a design contest going on by the Transhumanist Party. I do agree that more symbols for our decentralized movement would be good. Personally, I always emphasize the "word" #transhumanism over anything else when advocating for the movement. On another note, I also wish the powers and groups that be in the movement (whether it be the older organizations or the newer Transhumanist Party or other groups) might make more peace with each other--and work with one another. We are all stronger together, and our movement needs every one of us at our best and most civil.

A major weekend unfolding here in my work--perhaps one of the largest of my life so far with maybe upward of 10 million views/prints. The New York Times Weekly Edition, which features their best stories of the week in many major international papers in a supplement, has done a front page article on #artificialwombs and #overpopulation. I'm widely quoted in it, and it also includes perspectives from English royalty Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, the Pope and the Catholic Church, Piers Morgan of Good Morning Britain, etc. It's an important story going around the world. So far I'm seeing it in numerous topmost leading #Spanish newspapers (Argentina, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, etc) getting at least a few million views. I haven't seen this in some of the other worldwide papers yet, but I believe this story ends up with over 8-10 million print versions based on who publishes the New York Times International Weekly supplement. There's of course the digital versions too. The article does mention I lecture on #transhumanism (#transhumanismo). Here's some Spanish and Portuguese versions:

Come join me tomorrow for a talk on #transhumanism and the future at Sunday Assembly in Berkeley, CA at 11AM. Details below. According to Wikipedia, Sunday Assembly is a gathering mostly for non-religious people who want a similar communal experience to a religious church, though religious people are also welcome. https://www.facebook.com/events/47718...

Here's a big story from the National Review via Wesley J. Smith on my New York Times Op-Ed about #abortion and artificial wombs. I'm genuinely surprised such a major conservative publication doesn't want to open themselves more to Ectogenesis. There are approximately 50 million abortions a year globally. You would think #prolife people would seek out new methods to support their anti #prochoice cause. #Artificialwombs could be an answer, and the start of this tech on humans may be here in as little as 18 months. It's a discussion the world needs to have: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner...
