Hi Bruce
It's great to hear from you - Imminst is wonderful!!! ...and thanks for the invitation.
You're warmly welcome to use anything I've done.. writing for a web-based audience, I tend to use hyperlinks in my essays rather than traditional scholarly footnotes, which means stuff might need a bit of editing.
I'm not sure what would be most suitable for your target audience - perhaps the defence of paradise-engineering on http://huxley.net/index.html ??
The most recent thing I've done is just a phone interview with RU Sirius [ transcript http://www.huxley.net/temp/groovy.doc ] last week that hasn't been published yet. but summarises "where I'm coming from".....perhaps I could write up some of the themes for a self-contained essay ( though alas I often promise and don't deliver)
I will defer to your judgment here about what's needed here.
Very best wishes - and thanks again, keep up the fantastic work.
Dave
