This is really an exaggeration. You are kidding, aren't you?

I know many film directors I have worked with, including Francis Ford
Coppola, and none of them are extropian. Do you have some experience in
the film industry that has given you this knowledge?

Eli, if I wanted to stick my hands in it, I would. Having been in the
"industry" for a number of years and have very close friends who produce,
direct and star in major films, I certainly not afraid of a few foibles.
It takes a strong person to deal with much of the muddy murk of any
monolithic industry. They just dress better in Hollywood.
