John uttered the heartfelt
> Sasha, and now John Perry have left our ranks. I just don't want to see any more casualties. I believe in an afterlife, and have faith both men are there now. But still, I want to see each transhumanist I know attain their fondest dreams in this world.
I am not sure if I published this on the list; if so, I beg pardon for the repetition.
My two fondest dreams in this world are to help create a world that (A) I wouldn't mind coming back to, and a world that
(B) wouldn't mind bringing me back, in that order. Preferably, the same world in both cases, although emigration from B
to A could work... :)
_Actually being brought back_ is at least D on my list.
So I calculate risks and take them. If I croak, remember what I've said and take it into account if I don't get
suspended. It's a long shot, anyway. :)
Tycho Brahe's last words were allegedly
"Let me not seem to have lived in vain. Let me not seem to have lived in vain..."
Dum vivimus, vivamus.
