I need to read Kurzwiel god damn it. I am a Bad Transhumanist for not having done so yet. He's... next on my list, though my current thesis is about the American fandom experience... but at some point in my writing I really, really, REALLY want to do a long piece (or series) about transhumanism as a legit expression of human nature, especially since like... the ideals it represents goes back as far as the Chinese.
But i'm so terrified that neither of these things are going to be taken seriously. to do a proper nonfiction book on the fan convention as an american institution I would need money and - [/babbles]
(PS part of the reason I joined this game was that I was like TRANSHUMANIST PHILOSOPHY!? /SLAMS INTO)
And god, yes. I had wanted to be a teacher, but now I'm just like oh fuck it all. idk.
ahem
this is the same reason I ended up not going into lit / theater criticism orz. It's still something I may want to do but there's moar monies in nonfiction writing / publishing industry. And the latter thing is a dying breed too...
