Dear Daniel,
My specific interest is "what form of social organization is presupposed as
an infrastructure for the achievement of Transhumanist and Extropian
objectives?" I've gotten a bit disoriented with respect to this thread, and
I'm sure you can help me refocus. Is there some inclination to interpret
"Transhumanism" as a species of "Fascism"? What is the postulated nexus
between "Transhumanism" and the politics of Germany from, say, 30 Jan l933
when Hitler became chancellor to 07 May l945, the unconditional surrender
(Hitler died 30 Apr l945). I seem to have lost the resolution for this debate.
Thanks for your help,
Bob
