You're doing a good job, too. Perhaps what's most remarkable is how
many of the posters seem to be well-informed about the basic transhumanist
issues. Nobody *I* talk to on a casual basis seem to have the slightest
understanding of how much of the necessary technology is already in place.
By the way, Kurzweil's discussion of the exponential curve of technological
progress at http://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0012.html?printable=1
contains the best rejoinder to those who argue that the major transhumanist
goals aren't feasible. It's just that I can't get any of the nay-sayers to
actually read it ;-)
