You are not alone. Call me paranoid, but I have been having the same
feeling.
I don't understand why the topics of infanticide, racism and violence
keep popping up. There is nothing new in these discussions, but
something is driving their constant reintroduction into this forum
lately.
Stranger still, these threads always seem to include discussions on how
to manage the list, how to rewrite Max's principles, how to change the
Extropian philosophy, how to establish extropian forums somewhere other
than the ExI servers, etc.
What is this all about? There sems to be some sort of meme-war going on
just underneath the surface. Someone seems to be trying to grab
mind-space within the Extropian domain for other ideas.
