One more argument in their favor. I can't think of anything
more frightening than a "unified society". The most valuable
thing a society has to offer is diversity, and diversity,
complexity, and competition are very Extropian values. Though
most people who talk about "unity" probably have no idea what
they mean, I can't think of any meaning for the word that has
anything useful.
