Well, looks like what I expected would happen: The flavor of this
website, its rhetoric and the educational and institutional backgrounds
of the people involved are all left-liberal "Guardian", using the
terminology I employed in my presentation at Extro5, but the issues are
presented in clear Green "Romanticist" terms, with a strong invitation
to making a united front with the traditionally religious, or
"Magicalists", again, using terms I employed in my talk.
This is the Iron Triangle I described, taking shape before our eyes: A
Guardian-Romanticist-Magicalist alliance, with an explicit goal of
throttling progress.
