I really think we need to provide links (in a sticky of course) to pages that give good explanations of things like transhumanism, the singularity, technocracy and other sorts of topics. I think it will help newbies understand what we are talking about as well as prevent discussions going in circles. However, as I haven't actually read much about such topic beyond their Wiki entries, I really would appreciate others' input. Surely you guys know of some good pages to link to?
In before serpent posts a link to the NET. I uess, for technocracy, there is also technocracy.ca and the technocracy study guide (which, I believe, HAraldur still has in his sig.). There's also an online copy of Huxley's "New Bottles...", if I can dig that out I'll put it up. I think that Serpent and Sentinel will know some good places as well.
