Well, ok, but I've been here long enough to know we almost never talk about
human augmentation. We talk occassionally about a lot of far out things like
uploading, running dups, whether we are in a Sim, SAI and FAI but very little
about IA. Not to pick a nit, I'm just a bit curious as to why.
On this other matter one thing we MUST learn in the process of IA is how to
talk with each other without dissovling into name-calling and such. If we
aren't in part about learning it here where we have some more focused reasons
to do so then where?
