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).
Here you can see list of hpluspedia articles sorted by their length.
The longest page is 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:
- What is cryonics?
- Won't it be boring to live forever? I think they have a decently good answer.
- 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 analysis of that transhumanist FAQ article.
Then goes very similar Transhumanist FAQ Live, pages about Cristopher Altman (american physicist and astronaut who seems to support transhumanism), Whole Brain Emulation (really great article with mention of different brain scanning and slicing options, current projects etc), an extensive list of cryonics patients, page about transhumanist Gennady Stolyarov.
Very useful list of articles to create. It contains f.e. list of good organisations and websites on transhumanism, people, books, YouTube.
Then goes Criticism of transhumanism which is mostly not about life extension but this can be interesting.
"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.
Good list of facebook groups with number of members as of 2016/2017.
See also list of YouTube channels and podcasts.
Quite interesting article about US Transhumanist Party and some of its regional subchapters.
Article about the disposable soma theory of aging.
A large article about different transhumanist definitions!
btw, very interesting issarice wiki page on cryonics with cool figures.
History of transhumanism is of some value. Though mostly about not too recent events.
Interesting paper on h+ community building tips.
list of transhumanist political organizations.
Andrew Yang (candidate in the US 2020 presidential elections; advocated increasing funding for medical technologies and regulating advanced AI to prevent existential risks related to superintelligent AGI).
transhumanist politics is interesting page about who of transhumanists +- managed to get into politics. Transhumanism party Australia.
Worth mentioning are pages on technological unemployment, cryopreservation (though quite small), cryonics (though quite small), transhumanist UK party/organization, human body 2.0 (not complete at all but interesting organization of article), Sam Harris ("Sam Harris is an American New York Times bestselling author and neuroscientist who has spoken publicly on artificial intelligence and life extension and is a donor to the Future of Life Institute"), Transhuman National Committee of US and David Kelley, two surveys of americans about whether they want to live really longer, list of a few dozens arguments against life extension (though without their rebuttals), projects dashboard of a former transhumanist UK party, quotes (though few quotes about life extension, but this page should be done), universal basic income, transhumanist organizations (though small article), interesting special home page for editors (maybe we need similar), celebrity cryonics, a few transhumanists from Silicon Valley,
btw, answers to objections to live forever and the same here.
