From: "G.P." <gdotpdot@newsguy.com>
> Yes, death has been a tool of evolution, and we owe it the development of
our mind. But I believe our mind itself can now offer evolution a much better
tool. By mastering the sciences ad technologies of life and information, we
will take full control of our development and make aging and death ugly things
of the past. In memory of Anna, I will do my best to help achieving this goal.
We'll achieve this goal quicker if we stop believing in such nonsense as
"minds."

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience, SETI
We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
