I dispute that. :) Going on our relative portions of the Spike, I think I
actually came across as being more radical than you, probably since Damien
believes youths _should_ come across as radical. Although I don't think
there's much point in comparision; we both believe the Singularity could occur
any time now - how 'ya doin', Zyvex? - and our relative speculations on What
Happens Next ain't tremendously important next to Getting There.
For the record, though, the >Web-to-S transition could take considerably less
than two weeks if there are any protein synthesis machines on the Web.
Likewise for STMs.
