It is my contention that the notion of a physical Frontier to be
explored, settled, tamed, understood etc. is central in determining
whether or not humanity(either en masse, or individually) can "evolve", in
any meaningful use of that term. Thus, I am curious as to whether or not
any of you think that extropianism can succeed as a movement within the
confines of a society without an accessable Frontier.
Is it likely that extropianism, or any phenomological decendent of
such, can truly take hold within this society? And if so, do we risk
becoming a subculture?
Cheers,
Nigel.
