You mean not saying "No-one is suggesting that the anti GM-crop
movement is supported by religious fundamentalists and militant child
molesters?" :-)
Overall, I think this goes for all of us transhumanists: Write more!
Debate more! Make your views heard. Even if people think you are
strange or wrong, the more a view is made public all the time the less
easy it is to dismiss it. Our most important objective media-wise
right now is to make transhumanism a respectable perspective, and not
just something that can be dismissed as fringe or unsupported.
