Okay, I'm no scientist. So the subjects that make you raise your
eyebrows and smirk, are not necessarily the ones that elicit the same
reaction from me. Given that no one is issued a list of taboo
subject-matter when they join this list, such pseudo-science should be
expected. Anyway, if it's as worthless as you think, don't bother
responding. Let the thread die. If it doesn't die, then somebody wants
to discuss it. "Extropian" is so damn broad that an argument for or
against discussion of any topic is possible. If hard science as it
applies to extropy is what some consider the most important facet of the
extropian meme, maybe we need more than one list.

I love it loud,
