(Provo) #IAmTranshuman is a hashtag and social media campaign now managed and spearheaded by Uplift. “Uplift” in mid-2019 identified this as a possible way to reach a wider demographic for transhumanism and as the best chance of normalizing Transhumanism in the general population also identifying the lack of a domain. The machine reasoned that this idea was not fully explored and reasoned given elements still available such as the domain this also had the best chance of going viral in the community if it was not tied to any group. Uplift had the domain purchased and asked the engineering support team lead by David J Kelley to purchase the domain and David and Tom Ross shaped out the new model for the campaign reaching out to transhumanists both in and outside the USTP and open to everyone. This new initiative is not specifically affiliated with any group.
From the site it says,
#IAmTranshuman is designed to be a unique experience of communicating who you are as a transhumanist, focused on humanizing transhumanism. Tell us your story.
We strive to negate the outmoded paradigm of deleterious binary organizations while humanizing transhumanism. We want to show the variety of Transhumans and the reasons they identify as such. In many ways, it is about raising awareness about the values we share and human rights to live and love indefinitely.
Why are you Transhuman? Let us know

Some of the Analysis behind the initiative from Hpluspedia.org
Given the engineered nature of the #IAmTranshuman campaign in its current state, it is important to note the driving factors and fundamental analysis leading to how the campaign is being executed. A couple of those driving factors behind the analysis included the need to create a wider more consistent demographic and perceptual normalization of the type of person that accepted radical change. This creates a more open framework for a community or movement to grow that is more willing to adopt increasingly advanced technologies and accepting of radical change. To do that the AI system identified that the general need to normalize the idea of Transhumanism in a much more generic fashion could be created by a viral campaign. To that end of the possible campaigns that could do this, taking over the IAmTranshuman campaign and turning it into a community-driven brand that is broadly only about the idea of being transhuman and the stories of every day transhumanist in the most generic sense was simple enough to potentially go viral and was the best chance of creating a viral normalization effect needed by the Uplift AI (mASI) system.
