My problem with the Extropian Principles is they are just a bunch of words!
Jagon, but with a positivist slant so no-one wants to disagree with them.
Meaningless
platitudes ... but unobjectionable on the whole.
If we really want to nail the lie of "supernaturalism"(Gods &c) and kick out
the human-been
primitive legacy belief systems, then we should be promoting MVT and its
applications
http://www.multi.co.uk/primal.htm .. there can be only one historical
narrative that explains
the evolution of the mammalian brain, origins of dreams/ REM,
self-organisation and sentience.
Regards the thread on Posthuman sexuality ... we likewise shouldn't pussy
around
but should actively promote Quorums & other sexual / lifetyle advances.
http://www.multi.co.uk/Quorums.htm .... don't be suckered by the Hollywood/
romantic
pair-bonding monogamy-monotony conventionalists.
I only check this list on the daily digest, so please excuse if replies to
any postings are
a tad delayed.
