Seems everybody everywhere has this problem.
Ever wonder why most people just don't seem to be able to relate to transhumanist ideas. Could it be a lack of interest or lack of intellect? Is there any way that we can do to change this sad state of affairs? I'm pretty sure the world would be much better off for it.

For what it's worth I'm 50 and have had this problem all my life, at least until I stumbled onto this list.
It was a major revolution to me that there was an organized(?) group out there that I could relate to.
