Michael LaTorra, has it occurred to you that perhaps the future is not
well-served by pointing out transhumanism on the Web to raving
over-the-edge Luddites, in the same sense that if a band of
environmentalist terrorists armed with grenades took an Extro conference
hostage, one would not cheerfully point to Max More and say: "Oh, talk to
him; why, he's practically the planetary expert on how technology can
solve *all* your problems, without any need for those silly
flamethrowers."
