  • The Post-Human Perspective of `Self´ by Extropia DaSilva (Part I)
    • http://gwynethllewelyn.net/2006/08/20/the-post-human-perspective-of-self%c2%b4-by-extropia-dasilva-part-i/
    • Again, I’m glad to present Extropia’s latest essay on Self, which raises some very interesting, and in some cases, disturbing questions. No matter how much we’re into the advances of cognitive research, artificial intelligence, and the advancement of the human species through bionic replacements, nearly everyone will be touched by Extropia’s excellent essay and find at least something to think about — even if you do not agree with her! - Gwyn

  • CTRL-Q: Quantum Time
    • http://gwynethllewelyn.net/2006/12/18/ctrl-q-quantum-time/
    • Extropia DaSilva is back with another essay, and this time, she’ll be "going quantic" on Second Life. Explaining complex science using Second Life as an example, she’ll take you through a voyage through time and space, making you realise that "common sense" and "quantum mechanics" cannot be employed in the same sentence together. I hope you enjoy Extropia’s musings. Have fun! :) - Gwyn

    • "We think a lot about the nature of the brain, and whether computational substrates can be dense enough to enable thinking within them. I know exactly how that's going down, I think SL is dreaming. It could be looked at as one collective dream." - Philip Rosedale

Extropia DaSilva also posts to the following online forums:

After indexing less than 2 weeks worth of Extropia's posts to the Kurzweil AI.net forums, I realized that it would be silly to continue indexing them all manually. If you want to see all of Extropia's posts to the Kurzweil AI.net forums, then just go to http://www.kurzweilai.net/mindx/frame.html?main=/mindx/list.php?o%3Ddate (sorted by date), or http://www.kurzweilai.net/mindx/frame.html?main=/mindx/list.php? (threaded view), and look for any post by Extropia. Somewhere between 1% and 10% of all the posts on the forum are by Extropia. --Peer Infinity
