should introduce this chapter to the communities,please let your
freinds more especailly Ugandans know about this and help them join.I
wish you a strong stay with us.

Transhumanically yours
Micheal

Its my desire to communicate to you,hope that your life is okey.Am
mailing to let you know that time has come for us to meet and construct
the journey and future of our Chapter,therefore we are organising our
first meetin in the coming week.The day is not yet chosen,please
members morespecailly those in Uganda,do post and let us know what you
think. If you have an idea which can be of any help in helping the
chapter grow,please pass it on in the group.

Make some good time to communicate to us about this new development.

Transhumanically yours
Micheal

Dear Members of this Group,

Its my pleasure to say hello to you all,am mailing to you on this
lovely day of Monday,thinking that all of you are okey.I would like
to remind you  more especailly members currently in Uganda that its
now time to stand and act. I thought that we will take some time to
call for our first meeting because we were still introducing this
chapter to many of our freinds.I know most of you have done so just
as i did but non of the people whom we informed have joined yet,i
think in future after seeing our goals,vision and mission they will
pick interest.

I have been in the pioneering of several groups and i see that things
are not always easy, but with time they change to right direction.
Some of  you are still students of several Universities in Uganda,so
i would like to play a part of linking me to several faculty student
chairpersons,i think by meeting them,it will be a great value for the
growth of this chapter in Uganda.

Am also trying to get in contact with our Buganda Kingdom officials
and other political mates to see how we can develop this idea here
and now. please email to this group what you always think.

Promoter of WTA-UGANDA CHAPTER

Hello, I'm Micheal Mapagi Kirumira a 29 year-old Ugandan living in
Kampala.   I'm new to World Trans Humanism so hardly an expert. 
Indeed some of what I've read on topic is disagreeable to me. 
Nevertheless, technology is changing the way we live; technology is
changing us.  World Transhumanism foresees better outcomes when we
engage our minds in examining and debating this process.  World
Transhumanism is premised not in dogma but in dialog and that makes
me think it's very important.  Unlike many intellectual movements
World Transhumanism is not closely aligned with a single nationality,
instead recognizing that all the voices of humanity around the world
should be engaged in the process.  In that spirit I offer some views
on World Transumanism  from my perspective here in Uganda.

I was an unwanted child of a polygamous family.  I was left to fend
on my own when just thirteen and my education cut short.  The good
news, such as it may be, is that I've had to think for myself from a
young age to survive.  The bad news is that I've been driven to
question my value and worth from a very young age.  Motivations are
never quite simple, and my reasons for embracing Christianity and
enrolling in a Baptist Bible college aren't easily reduced.  But
among the reasons surely was a need to have a reason to say that I'm
valuable as a human being, "a child of God," and to declare that for
others too.  Over time I became disaffected with Christianity and my
community of Christians.  At about the same time  I became acquainted
with Humanism and Humanist organizations.  I'm happy to say that I'm
a valuable person and a Humanist.

There are Christian Humanists,  those who find no contradiction
between Christianity and Humanism.  I'm less attracted for reaching a
of compromise of this sort as I am in absorbing critiques of
Christianity by Humanists.  Humanist tend to be a skeptical lot and
that matches my personality well.  Even within  the various strains
of Humanism not aligning with Christianity the issue of whether
Humanism is a religion is a  bone of contention.   One argument
against Humanism as a religion boils down to the notion that religion
has wrecked such havoc on humanity that Humanism shouldn't sully it's
good name by association.  The nuances of the debates are largely
lost on me.  I wouldn't pay much attention, not really caring much
whether Humanism is thought of as a religion, but I take a pause when
I consider my skepticism of science. 

It's not that I wish to deny scientific validity.  It has been
freeing for me to view the universe as natural without recourse to
the supernatural.   But science is so embedded in the physical world
that it  seems ill-equipped to explain the world of information. 
There's a neat illustration of what I'm getting at but I'm not sure
who came up with it.  It goes something like: "It's one thing to kick
a ball and quite another to kick a dog."  Science provides a good way
to make predictions about what will happen when you kick a ball based
are physical laws, but the predictions are far less certain once the
metal capacities of a dog are included.  Force and velocity aren't
always the best predictors of behavior.

The twentieth century was witness to the rapid advancement of science
and technology as well as witness to genocide on an unprecedented
scale abetted by technology's advance.  Some see technology as the
problem, "We've got to get back to the garden." while others place it
firmly in the hands of human responsibility, "Guns don't kill people,
people do."  We have one language for talking about things in the
physical world and another for talking about what people do in the
real world, but a language for speaking about the relationship
between the two universes is  undeveloped —or at least
underdeveloped. 

As a human being, I take being a good person quite seriously. 
Humanism is attractive to me because it affirms life and the value of
persons ideas which form a basis for my conceptions of morality.  I'm
not sure we need a religion with or without God at the head of it to
be moral people —indeed I suspect not— but I'm also not sure that
people can draw morality out of the well of science, at least as we
imagine science today.

There is shock value to "human enhancement technologies" whether or
not Transhumanists intend to shock or not. The shock comes from the
reasonable fear that people become mere billiard balls, objects acted
upon by physical forces.  We cry out: "I am a person not a thing!" 
There is also caution in recalling a record of scientific hubris. 
The word "robot" entered into the English language from a play by the
Czech playwright Karl Capek, "Rossum's Universal Robots."  The play
from the early 1920's was prescient in many ways.  Capek's Robots
were not mechanical tin men but rather something akin to genetically
engineered humans. 

"Rossum's Universal Robots" was enormously popular in its day.  My
mind is swimming with things to say about it, but for this discussion
I want to select two threads.  The first concerns scientific hubris.
A common reaction to the drama could be summed up as, "another fine
mess science has gotten us into."   The play draws attention to the
unintended consequences that science and new technologies often
bring.  The second thread has to do with sympathy for the Robots. 
Rossum's Universal Robots were popular because they could be
exploited in ways that would be immoral to treat fellow human
beings.  As a poor man in a poor country on the African continent
it's not unusual for me to be considered not worth the cost, not
uncommon for my life to be rendered as an economic equation with a
zero sum.

The World Transhumanist Association advocates the ethical use of
technology to expand human capacities. It supports the development of
and access to new technologies that enable everyone to enjoy better
minds, better bodies and better lives.  This mission is one I can
endorse, but as I mentioned earlier World Transhumanism is new to me,
so I'm still in the process of mapping it's territory.  I want to
pick the two threads I just identified from Capek's drama, which I
think are relevant to the World Transhumanism in Uganda.  But first I
want to spin a few threads concerning Humanism to weave with them.

The Enlightenment maybe seen in the West as quintessentially
European.  In Uganda looking to the Enlightenment has less to do with
a reverent looking back on Western achievements than  looking forward
to building a tolerant and just society.  Uganda is a young country
and our history is marked by political violence and instability.  The
litany of woes from this legacy is well-known so doesn't need
repeating at this time,  less known is that young Ugandans are
intensely interested in the Constitution of our government.  There
are still not many Humanists here, but the good fight against tyranny
and bigotry is one that many of us Ugandans are aligned. Individual
freedom, political democracy, the rule of law, human rights, and
cultural freedom are the hallmarks of Western liberalism.  Our
challenge today as African Humanists is to put these ideas into
practice and to develop them in an African context.    

It's hard for me to conceive of these emerging except for Humanism
which blossomed in Europe during the eighteenth century, although I
know that Humanism has important antecedents reaching much farther
back into history.    As a world citizen, I look towards Europe with
recognition and claim these values as a great human accomplishment.
Western liberalism also brings with it theories of economics which 
help to keep us in the developing world at a
disadvantage.  "Imperialism" is a  short hand way  of talking about
this, surely an oversimplification, but it seems fair to point out
how the word "imperialism" has become a rather large tent sheltering
various notions about it.

The first generation of African political leaders of the post-
colonial era contended with this tension inherent in Western
liberalism; i.e. political democracy and imperialism.  Their records
are mixed.  From an Ugandan perspective  I'm somewhat envious of the
relative political stability achieved in our East African partners,
Kenya and Tanzania, but I know the rods their journey has been rough
too.  Julius Nyerere of Tanzania is of particular interest because he
was a Humanist and championed what he called "scientific
socialism."In the West Nyerere may be most favorably be remembered
for his pragmatism in abandoning socialism in favor of free markets. 

Free markets are viewed by many as a part of the natural order and
subject to scientific description. The faith of adherents of free
market fundamentalist that their economics is more closely aligned to
scientific fundamentals seems like  Nyerere's convictions
about "scientific socialism" even while their economic assumptions
are quite different.   Soviet science provides a cautionary example
about the havoc ideologies can wreck on the conduct of science. 
Economics is sometimes called "the dismal science" but even the most
hard-boiled economic technicians when pressed will probably admit
that economics is not a "hard" science. 

I've told you a little about myself, for example that my formal
education was cut short.  So  now I confess that I'm largely ignorant
about science.  I've also told you that I'm skeptical of science and
that I'm a Humanist.  Humanists pride themselves on having good
reasons for their ideas, so I point out that my skepticism of science
isn't totally amorphous.  The ways in which ideologies shape science
and scientific interpretation is one reason for my skepticism.  I'm
also aware that there is a division, which the boundaries are not
entirely clear to me between hard and soft sciences.  The
fundamentals of physics and chemistry are considered firmer --may we
say more fundamental?-- than the fundamentalist of psychology,
sociology, economics, and other fields not yet considered hard
science.

Science is thought to be the systematic study of the physical  world,
and technology as being the application of science for human
objectives.  So where is the problem of unintended consequences of
science and technologies rooted? 

Standard histories of the blossoming of Humanism during the
eighteenth century always mention antecedents in Galileo, Bacon,
Descarte and others who helped to liberate science from religion. 
Science became inquiry into the physical world separate from
philosophical and religious inquiry. 
No doubt science advanced rapidly under this arrangement.  But
scientist confront complex systems, a good example today is the
global climate change.  Predicting weather turns out to be very hard
to do, small differences in one part of the system can result in big
differences in another part.  Understanding what's going on and
predicting what will happen isn't just about understanding physical
causes and effects, it's also about understanding the form of they
system itself.  It's about understanding how information is relayed
within the system.  Information doesn't seem physical.  How does the
structure of my brain explain and predict the thoughts I make?  My
brain is physical and presumably my thoughts are created by physical
mechanisms, but the thoughts themselves aren't physical at least so
far as I can see.  Still my thoughts can make a difference and your
thought can make a real difference to me. 

The pace of scientific advancement hasn't slowed as we enter this new
century, this new millennium.  Nowhere is this more obvious to the
many non-scientists like myself than in the field of Information
Technology.  The development and proliferation of information
technologies is changing the world and also how we view the world. 
IT transcends the physical world is a way that fundamentally expands
our ideas of what science is.  The division between mind and matter
considered so essential to the advancement of science in the past
isn't quite so sharp now.  My hunch is that as we learn more about
information our knowledge of scientific fundamentals will grow. 
Perhaps we'll become better able to anticipate unintended
consequences better in the future.  But I'm not sure we'll ever be
able to loosen our guard against scientific hubris. 
Perhaps "Rossum's Universal Robots" will still have relevance a
hundred years from now.  In any case, I'm  for the optimism about
technology World Transhumanism advocates, nevertheless I caution my
fellow Humanists to take the problem of unintended consequences of
new technologies seriously. Enthusiasm, yes; fanaticism, never!

Let's now pick up the second thread from Capek's play, the one that
has to do with how we treat others, especially others widely
considered to be less than ourselves. 

It's odd that often legal advancement of human rights have been
extensions from laws protecting animals.  How is it that we are more
easily able to agree on the ethical treatment of animals than our
fellow humans?  Racism is premised on the superiority of one group
over another.  Racism lends legitimacy for cruelty just as
nationalism so often bends towards Chauvinism.  Pointing out how some
people are treated like we'd never treat animals often carries less
shock value than I think it should.  People seem quite adept at
making reasons for cruelty to others.

The Anti Slavery Society so many years ago made an emblem that showed
a supplicant naked black man in chains along with the words: "Am I
Not a Man and a Brother."  Josiah Wedgwood, a Quaker and early
Abolitionist had medallions made of this Anti Slavery emblem in
Wedgwood's famous Jasperware and the exchange of them became an
important part of the campaign that ultimately changed minds about
the inevitability of slavery.  I'm intensely interested in the
problem of negative stereotypes of Africans.  The image is offensive
from my modern day viewpoint, but I have to remind myself that what
the image said to people of earlier times was  different.  The
essential core to the medallion's effectiveness lies in the ideas
behind the words: "Am I Not a Man and a Brother. For that, I think,
the reading is not so different to day as it was then.

I've seen a photograph of a young black man, dressed in a white shirt
and wearing a tie, taken during a civil rights demonstration in the
American South during the 1960's.  He's wearing a placard saying, "I
Am a Man."  Ah, there's the shock that provokes cognitive dissonance:
Here's a man from our community.  Why shouldn't he be allowed to sit
at a lunch counter like any other man? The trouble was that there
were many, probably a majority, in his community that had an answer
to that. 

One man standing proclaiming his obvious humanity was a powerful
demonstration nonetheless because it questioned the proper
relationship between groups of people.  The Abolitionist medallion
not only provoked cognitive dissonance, but offered a proscription
for a right and proper relationship between  people: "Am I Not a Man
and a Brother."  Not only  a man, I'm your brother, a construction
that fit neatly with prevalent Christian frame of mind.  Adaptable as
people are, religious defenses of slavery were offered as counter
claims and  nineteenth century scientism conjured up a plausible 
basis for racism. 
"What is a proper relationship between human beings?" is a question
that bares repeating.  I believe the answer begins with the
supposition that all humankind is a family.  We are one species, our
fates intertwined.

So my sisters and brothers, I am a man, an Ugandan man, a black man. 
Unlike the man portrayed on Wedgwood's famous medallion I'm standing
before you not kneeling.  My situation is dire, just as the
situations of millions and millions of my fellow human beings is
dire.  I am not the problem, we the millions and millions of us are
not the problem.  I am a man and we are fellow travelers all.  We
share humanity's troubles, although not equally nor equitably, and we
share humankind's successes too, although not equally nor equitably. 
The nakedness of the man portrayed on Wedgwood's medallion some
scholars have observed represented his dignity, his human nobility. 
For my own dignity's sake, you'll note that I'm clothed.  I do hope
you'll recognize some nobility in me and so notice and claim yours. 
We are noble beings, we humans, able to cause great harm or great
good.  Transportation and communications technologies have enabled
our reunion, brought us together as never before possible.  I know
that we are capable of meeting the great challenges that confront us
together.  I believe that World Transhumanism will play an important
role, now and in the future.   


It will be a pleasure to hear what you think.


Transhumanically yours

Writing requires thinking, that's why I'm so always
not good in posting what i like.  Writing also is
something that I have to do and then revise, in fact I
have to revise several times generally.  So it's a

AM GLAD TO JOIN,LETS SRR HOW IT WORKS IN AFRICA
Othman

I do personnaly take this opportunity to thank you you all and
Transhumanically welcome the joining members,am a bit slow and
curious about how this group is growing,i have sent over 45
invitations but its seem things will go slow,not as i planned,more
especailly when some members do not have easy access on email and
internet. Another problem is about Religious freinds who see no
reason of joining this group.

I want to say that in Addition to Promoting Science and techonology
to more accessible level,The WTA-UGANDA is dedicated to protecting
and promoting Human and Civil Rights, and we acheive our goals by
working in collaboration with others. We believe that we can and
should make the world a better place for everyone to live.

WTA-Uganda actively seeks out other progressive organizations and
Individuals to work with. If you represent an organization that you
think we would be interested in working with, please do not hesistate
to contact Micheal Mpagi Kirumira, AG. Executive Director to find out
if we can WORK TOGETHER.

The WTA-Uganda is an association of Ugandan individuals and groups
that affirm the Humanist worldview, a philosophy informed by science,
inspired by art, and motivated by compassion that affirms the dignity
of each human being and encourages each individual to realize their
full potential as humans while simultaneously being responsible to
our communities and the world in which we live.Hence making lives
BETTER THAN WELL

We work to promote Humanism and to promote the use of reason,Science
and compassion in the solving of human problems. We also work to
build a more humane society. We  will achieve our goals - through
education, example, and progressive social action.

The WTA-UGANDA is founded to promote Transhumanism in Uganda,East and
Central Africa. We  will cooperate with other local, regional,
national and international Transhumanist groups  to advance a
community of reason and techonology.We do say that in all we do,we
will always be under the guidance on the WORLD TRANSHUMANISM
ASSOCIATION ,which is the umberalla association of all WTA groups.

WE do say that Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that,
without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to
lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater
good of humanity.


Freinds,i think now you have reasons to tell your freinds,what we
do,because it have been a great question,many ask who are WTA-UGANDA
CHAPTER,now with all my understanding,i will ask you to mail back if
you find that there are some information that you do not agree

AG.WTA-UGANDA CHAPTER

I do personnaly take this opportunity to thank you you all and
Transhumanically welcome the joining members,am a bit slow and
curious about how this group is growing,i have sent over 45
invitations but its seem things will go slow,not as i planned,more
especailly when some members do not have easy access on email and
internet. Another problem is about Religious freinds who see no
reason of joining this group.

I want to say that in Addition to Promoting Science and techonology
to more accessible level,The WTA-UGANDA is dedicated to protecting
and promoting Human and Civil Rights, and we acheive our goals by
working in collaboration with others. We believe that we can and
should make the world a better place for everyone to live.

WTA-Uganda actively seeks out other progressive organizations and
Individuals to work with. If you represent an organization that you
think we would be interested in working with, please do not hesistate
to contact Micheal Mpagi Kirumira, AG. Executive Director to find out
if we can WORK TOGETHER.

The WTA-Uganda is an association of Ugandan individuals and groups
that affirm the Humanist worldview, a philosophy informed by science,
inspired by art, and motivated by compassion that affirms the dignity
of each human being and encourages each individual to realize their
full potential as humans while simultaneously being responsible to
our communities and the world in which we live.Hence making lives
BETTER THAN WELL

We work to promote Humanism and to promote the use of reason,Science
and compassion in the solving of human problems. We also work to
build a more humane society. We  will achieve our goals - through
education, example, and progressive social action.

The WTA-UGANDA is founded to promote Transhumanism in Uganda,East and
Central Africa. We  will cooperate with other local, regional,
national and international Transhumanist groups  to advance a
community of reason and techonology.We do say that in all we do,we
will always be under the guidance on the WORLD TRANSHUMANISM
ASSOCIATION ,which is the umberalla association of all WTA groups.

WE do say that Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that,
without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to
lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater
good of humanity.


Freinds,i think now you have reasons to tell your freinds,what we
do,because it have been a great question,many ask who are WTA-UGANDA
CHAPTER,now with all my understanding,i will ask you to mail back if
you find that there are some information that you do not agree
with.,or mail if you have some information that you would like to add
on,or otherwise.Please make sure you draw your freinds to this
chapter,its for them that we can stand.

Transhumanically yours
