Consumer's Guide to Human Enhancement Resources? -- ACL, Bio, Body, CPS, Cyber, Long, MA, Mind, Myst, Noo, Psych, Soc
Dr. Win Wenger, an accelerated learning and creativity researcher and the author of many books on those subjects, has put forth the following proposal to everyone in the human enhancement/ human augmentation field:
I hereby renew my suggestion, which I issue from time to time, that various interests and various programs join together to create a "Consumer's Guide" to the various resources offered as enhancing human abilities, well-being, learning, and creative problem-solving. Can anyone here, with connection to other programs, draw said program's attention to this invitation and join Project Renaissance in at least very preliminary explorations toward such a project?
Programs which have really good resources and techniques to offer for such effects, have the most to gain other than the wider public who could then be engaging these resources with much better confidence and information. Which programs would be interested in exploring such a project and possible "Consumer's Guide?"
I agree with Dr. Wenger that a fair, honest, accurate consumer's guide, stripped of corporate hype and simply assessing those enhancement/augmentation techniques that are already available would have a powerful impact on the field of human development. For those interested in such a collaboration, or even discussing the concept, here is the contact info from Dr. Wenger's website. His Yahoo discussion group can be found here (joining is free) and his other discussion group (if you just want to pop in) is here.
