It is only on the extropian list where an individual with an IQ a couple
of standard deviations to the right of the norm (somewhat below Eliezer's
but not so much so that we can't hold a mutually educational conversation)
will encounter a statement (such as the above) where one is relatively
clueless with respect to the topic being discussed.
I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. But it certainly
points out how the average person who reads their horoscope in the paper
every day is separated by light-years from the typical extropian.
