New page

[https://hpluspedia.org/ Hpluspedia] is a great wiki on transhumanism. Here a brief review would be given (1) to show how great it is (2) to show why we need this wikipedia (in brief, because hpluspedia focus is too much about other aspects of transhumanism than life extension). 
[https://hpluspedia.org/index.php?title=Special:LongPages&limit=500&offset=0 Here] you can see list of hpluspedia articles sorted by their length. 

The longest page is [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Transhumanist_FAQ_Version_3 Transhumanist FAQ ver3]. Overall, it's mostly not about radical life extension. It's mostly about posthumans, superintelligence, nanotechnology, uploading, singularity etc. The most relevant topics covered there are: 
* [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Transhumanist_FAQ_Version_3#What_is_cryonics.3F_Isn.E2.80.99t_the_probability_of_success_too_small.3F What is cryonics?]
* [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Transhumanist_FAQ_Version_3#Won.E2.80.99t_it_be_boring_to_live_forever_in_a_perfect_world.3F Won't it be boring to live forever?] I think they have a decently good answer.
* [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Transhumanist_FAQ_Version_3#Will_extended_life_worsen_overpopulation_problems.3F Will extended life worsen overpopulation problems?]. Their answer is long (~2 pages) of imo not too concrete futurooptimism. Still, it can be used. There is also [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/H%2BPedia:Transhumanist_FAQ_Analysis analysis] of that transhumanist FAQ article.

Then goes [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_transhumanism Criticism of transhumanism] which is mostly not about life extension but [https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_transhumanism#The_view_that_there_are_more_urgent_priorities_for_human_attention this] can be interesting.

[https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_Death '''"Eliminating death"'''] is a series of 19 YouTube videos by Gennady Stolyarov where he argues for life extension and rebuts criticism. Seems to be good.
