Meanwhile, Fukuyama and Kass are continuing their stated mission of
preventing a posthuman world. Do not underestimate the opposition, they
have some very good strategic thinkers that fully realize that today is
just the first step towards eventual mortalist triumph. While some short
sighted conservatives do not think about antioxidants, telomeres and
uploading, there are others who do. If the transhumanists are asleep
(ahem) the rug rats will end up living (and *dying*) in a world defined
by somebody else.
