2022 - No Resolutions. We aim for SMART Goals!
What to expect in 2022!
|

1st Goal: Humanity+ Content Marketing on Transhumanism |
Humanity+ is aiming for SMART Goals:
- S – Specific
- M – Measurable
- A – Attainable
- R – Realistic
- T – Timely
Our 1st Goal achieves these objectives by creating a no-nonsense video series about the Who/What? of transhumanism.
|
|
Why? Because our members tell us that the many books covering transhumanism is not getting across to the mainstream. People often don't grok what transhumanism is. So, we aim to fix this knowledge gap! |
