I wonder how the people posting to this list would rate if they were
given a test to determine if they had the 'novelty' gene. I'd guess
pretty high. AND, if there's a 'novelty' gene, there very well might be
an 'extropian-transhuman' gene. This would explain the very real
experience of Chris' 'high' feeling when he gets an 'aha'
feeling/learns/illuminates.
Also, you may not _have_ the gene to be activated. If only one parent had
the 'extropian/novelty/huntington's chorea' gene, you might not receive
it. Even if they both had it, you might not receive it. So no matter how
many aerosols, patches, plug-ins you had, you could never activate that
gene.
Getting that gene from somewhere else and injecting it to provide your
body with the biological assistance it was incapable of giving you, is a
current technology. Only, this technology is being used to treat disease
and not for any 're-creational' or 'cosmetic' purposes.
Is it possible, right now, to use this technology for purely
cosmetic purposes?

I'm thinking about longevity, so I _can_ write them down (and research
them, and write about them and realize them.)
