What? Who's "placing perfection in a future where symbolic mediation
has abolished hierarchy"? What does symbolic mediation have to do
Extropy? What hierarchy is being abolished? Who says or believes that
perfection will result?
Is it just me, or is this guy writing to impress people with his
vocabulary and expressing his ideas as obliquely as possible to seem
"intellectual"?
If I understood those words that aren't in my dictionary, I could
rewrite what he wrote in two sentences that a child could
understand.
But then his writing would be exposed for the pompous nonsense it
is...
