Apparently, now that everyone in the transhumanist community knows I'm for
real, I have to go through the entire Damien Broderick "skeptical
incredulity" stage all over again for the outside world.

Like kudzu, my past life story tends to take over my present work.
Sometimes I wish I'd been born boring, or at least born quiet.

Oh, well. Life is chaos and often works out eventually; a hideous
philosophy for a Friendship programmer, but sometimes the only one that
works for people.
