Well, I've been trying in my own incoherent way to spark discussion
about such issues and how they fit into a pattern of increasing ULE.
Imho replacing the gov't with luddites as extropian enemy number 1 is
such a brilliant move it's hard to believe it wasn't planted by some
intelligence service. I didn't like em much when I started on this list,
but in many ways I wish the cypherpunks would come back.
