Let's do an experiment. For the next couple of weeks I'll have a special
transhumanist phone-in office hour, Wednesdays from 4-5 p.m. (Eastern
Time). Meaning: I'll sit in my office (phone number: (203) 432-1673) and
won't be doing anything that I'd mind being interrupted in, and if
anybody wants to discuss some ideas, I'd be happy to.
