Well said! After all, are not extropians supposed to be rational.
Saying something is pseudoscience, drivel or trash without rational
inquiry is simply not rational. For those on the list whose belief
systems forbid inquiry outside of fundamentalist materialism should
either not respond to such posts, or start using their e-mail filtering
programs. No ones asking you to participate in such discussion. I am
sure to those of you I'm referring to know who you are.

I like the diversity of topics on this list as well. But what I like
most, is that most people who participate on this list are of high
intelligence and good sport when it comes to debate. We may be inching
are way to post-humanism, but sometimes our emotions can still get the
best of us.
Cheers!
