Growing international transhumanist connections

An Italian transhumanist from Rome, Gianni, last Summer met some transhumanists in 3 countries during his vacations around Ukraine, India, Nepal, China, Far Eastern Russia, South Korea, Japan and European Russia. He appreciated Andrej, living in Sevastopol, who is a very young enthusiastic transhumanist and who is going to create a base in Sevastopol by himself but who would deserve a special attention from the whole organization for his very passion towards the arguments relied on it. In Vladivostok, Russia, he participated at one meeting at a nice local artists club organized by Viktor a very talented PhD physics who talked about the relation between overpopulation and new technologies followed by a talk among the members.

Then, in Seoul, South Korea he met Jin Choi a new young member, an engineer, who fall in love with the idea of transhumanism after reading something on Internet and three books in particular the last great Ray Kurzweils’ book. The Korean member was worried by the presence of some local ultranationalists who could be interested in taking possession of the democratic opened idea which the whole Humanity could benefit in the future for. Finally he also appreciated the unsuccessful attempt of José Cordeiro who flew from Hong Kong to meet him in Tokyo and he continues to hope to succeed in meeting him one day in the future.
