I'd also recomend people to join #transhuman @ irc.freenode.net direct link:
| | irc://irc.freenode.net/transhumanIt's... not very active. It's not directly linked to transhumanists.org. I suppose there's a lot of transhumanist channels... But this one's quite new.
I'd love to see you there, I'm idling 24/7 and have been for the last ~5(?) months.
