I have to say this -- any movement that wants to succeed in making itself
known in the first world absolutely must have bumper stickers, badges and
t-shirts. Seriously. I've been dashing off slogans for the Longevity Meme
here and there for a while...
It's like you don't exist for a whole section of humanity unless you're
validated by the independant existance of a bumper sticker. So:
transhumanism bumper stickers. It should be a higher priority than everyone
would like it to be.
