Too weird for Maine or not marketed? 12/30/2014 0 Comments   Why such a gap in blogs? Aside from the all-inclusive graduate studies (and soon to be doctoral studies), I have been searching for new job positions in my area where I can make the most difference (and be paid for at least some of what I know). I have a long reading list and notes to take....and... I am not so sure of the need for this website. It is close to renewal time, and since traffic has been close to none (and I may be the only one reading this blog), I may just port all of my blogs over to Blogger.com and stop this website. There seems to be only one section I am interested in at the moment (Skeptical Maine), and I can move that page over to my main website (which has stopped being affiliated with this site). So why? Is this site too weird for this state? Truly, I have not promoted this website, and yes, the subject matter seems too sci-fi for people. I look weird talking about it. No one has the money within my reach to fund any of the breakthroughs that Google emails me about in transhumanist science. We can all watch and comment and only dream for now. This website is not doing anything but commenting. I cannot fund anything at the moment, and I cannot write from personal use of these technologies (save for cheap products like wristbands and apps). I also realize that there are many outlets online for the cutting edge info-- just set up a Google alert for "synthetic biology" or "transhumanism", and you will find what I sift through daily. California seems to be the hub of American transhumanism with Silicon Valley being the epicenter. Maine has a few great labs (Jackson Labs comes to mind), but MIT in Cambridge is the closest to cutting-edge. I have a good and safe seat for watching mistakes happen, but I am far too removed from the buzz of new tech. In other words, I currently cannot help you. I can make suggestions like I have done, but you can always get them elsewhere. By next month Humanity + Maine will cease to be unless it becomes relevant unexpectedly. It is not a popularity contest, it is my good use of time. This is not how to best use it for now. May we all learn and experience what new science and tech can better us in the future! Good luck!
