i don't understand why we're talking about humanism, morality, and
compassion on a listserv dominated by libertarians and objectivists.
many of the policies people advocate on this listserv indicate to me
that they don't care about people other than themselves. a posthumanist
world could very well consist of temporary
autonomous zones (taz) where everyone would be free to do as they please.
with the proper technology anarchy and absolute liberty would be possible.
but how are we going to get there? will it be through cooperation and
sacrifice or will it be through ruthless competition. i believe that most
of the people on the list are out of touch with reality. have you ever
been on the other side of the policies you advocate? and if you have
been fucked over, is it really a mature and rational response to attempt
to fuck over others. i think not. thanks.
