...but most likely, it will be some third possibility that we've
completely failed to anticipate. We need to stay in touch with those
tecno-fascists and techno-communists in case they come up with some
ideas in places we haven't been looking. One James Hughes or David Brin
is worth putting up with any number of right-wing/left-wing whackos.
The definition of Transhumanism needs to remain distinct from that of
Extropy, as a partially overlapping non-antagonistic meme-cluster.
