This Website was created in 1997 to bring transhumanist ideas to the
Internet.
FM agreed to our reserving and building this Website as a resource for the
advancement of both his ideas and the ideas of other transhumanists on the
Internet. FM was highly supportive in providing information and suggestions to
its contents, however not all ideas on this site reflect the ideas and views of
FM. FM would have like it this way, as someone who was open to new ideas and
the spreading of creative insights into the future. At the University of
California Los Angeles, FM reached many hundreds of people interested in the future.
One of FM's favored topics is space exploration. I also dedicate this site to
John Spencer, architect and founder of Space Tourism Society, and to his
associate and friend, Charles Carr, astronomer and former Director of Education
at the Los Angeles Museum of Technology. There are many other friends and
associates of FM in Los Angeles, such as Seena and Andre Sharpe, who are active
in events surrounding the inspiriting ideas of the future and of which FM's
memory continues on.
Transhumans are a new evolutionary being
resulting from the monumental breakthroughs of the late twentieth century. (FM-2030)
We are emerging from ages during which
we rarely planned ahead.
We did not understand the dynamics of change.
Planning for the future is a sure sign of intelligence. (FM-2030)
