Firstly, you founded Pro-Act to act as an activist organization, but
you formed it only after *I* started getting positive response from
members about my arguments for the need to counter the luddites. You
snookered everybody, because you simply used Pro-Act to deflect
attention and defuse my attempts to mobilize the extropian community,
making people think that ExI was actually going to do something about
the luddites. Since then, Pro-Act has been stillborn.
Nor have you or anybody else in ExI invited me to be involved in "ExI
central". If my comments sound angry, it is because I am, and my anger
is not unfounded. You asked for it.
I am involved in the Free State Project ONLY because it seems to be the
ONLY extropic project around that seems to actually be intent on
actually accomplishing anything. I can guarantee you that in the Free
State, the luddites won't get any traction whatsoever.
