Hell, I can't even determine the "self" of myself (recent threads
involving Damien and Emlyn being cases in point).
Perhaps we should have two extropian list threads
(a) where you get to make up yourself (and others) being as
close to (or beyond) the limits of physics as you can justify;
(b) where you get to freely speculate within our current knowledge
base [i.e. must be based on and not violate conventional
physics.]
Any takers...
