Unless we educate them properly they will continue in their old ways even as posthuman energy beings. I can just see them drunkenly over-embibing on plank energy as they play cosmic soccer with a passing comet. And I don't even want to imagine the damage to the solar system when they all riot over the game results! So, Max and the rest of ExI have a grave responsiblity to nip this sort of thing in the bud before it happens! : )
Max teaching the class of gifted young people was well worth the time and effort. An intimate gathering like that could actually bear fruit in ways a mass media interview might not. It comes down to touching one life at a time. Who knows what seeds have been planted and what may come of it later on.
best wishes,
John
