    She may never qualify as an immortalist but this is a person who is intelligent, strongly supports technological progress in its myriad forms, and can obviously write at a level most of us only dream of. I am grateful for the link provided because I got the chance to become aware of her work.

    Ms. Engdahl disagreed with transhumanism but did not "trash" it. Randy, I would ask you to be more thoughtful in how you write your subject headings.

    I share her interest in an afterlife and psi phenomena but I want to make the most of my life in terms of both quality and quantity. That is why I'm signed up with those "crazy cool" folks in Scottsdale.
