Hello cryofan@mylinuxisp.com (Tiberius Gracchus),
In reference to your comment:
è Merkle, Moravec, etc, are NOT thinkers, yet your
è website says you study "magick"? That's funny....
My only concern is that Merkle, Moravec, Drexler, and Kurzweil, and Minsky
and the rest of the Extropian-Transhumanist thinkers, do not come along with
more papers, advancing their views. I tend to feel like an addict needing a
"fix" from their intellects, every once in a while. I suppose it is hard to
live a normal life while attempting to forge ahead with a more livable
tomorrow?

Merkle, Moravec, etc, are NOT thinkers, yet your website says you
study "magick"? That's funny....
