I started wondering about your reality some time back, EvMick.
Truck-driving extropian cowboy grandfather! Wow, What a persona.
I then decided that actual reality isn't all that relevant. You're
real enough to provide useful and entertaining insights, even when
I disagree with your politics. Basically, we have uploaded a tiny
portion of ourselves into a highly-restricted VR known as
"extropians@extropy.org". If we choose to make software modifications
to the upload, who cares?
