Do I have to spell it out for you again. lets go. The people are not
interested of geeky religions and math teorems, end of story.
If they have alredy formd a predjudice against transhumanism becuse Tippler,
we are all very FUCKED. Then we're seen as a nutty sect, and in for all heck
of a lot of slope before being able to communicate outwards again. And this
just because they skimmed a Tipler page or especially anti- Tipler page.
So, what to do?
Ingdahl
