You could start a local chapter of Transhumanist party, or of anything you want and just make gatherings of people and discuss any futuristic topics, like life extension, AI safety, whatever. Official registration of such activity is probably loss of time and money, except you know what are going to do with it, like getting donations or renting an office.
There is no need to start any institute if you don’t have any dedicated group of people around. Institute consisting of one person is something strange.
That’s not a bad idea. As it stands I’m pursuing the goal of building a dedicated group of people around these ideas, which is proving difficult enough as it is. Eventually I’ll want to move forward with the institute, though, and it seems wise to begin thinking about that now.
