Dear fellow Extropians,

What is the point of extending life or even eradicating death, if all you
going to do with these opportunies is bring along the same old negative
baggage that you had before.

By this I mean, rudeness, intolerance, censorship, bickering, violence and
exclusivity?

### This is a profound and subtle point. Unfortunately, the persons who
don't get it are generally very confident in their ignorance while exulting
in the illusion of their "freedom and individuality".

I wish I had time to do a write-up on the related concept of "victimless
crime".
