Yes absolutely, this is a wonderful idea. It would also mean that if someone
tried to quote a meta post - for example to show what "deranged and menacing
bastards those tranhumanists are" we can simply refer them to a web page
that specified in no uncertain terms the theory and guidelines (I think
there would still have to be some) governing such thought experiments... Uh
oh, as I wrote that last line, I began to second guess this one - what if
someone maliciously ignores our subject headers and cuts and pastes with
complete disregard to our "but, but, but hey don't you guys get it, it was a
meta post, a meta post I say..." The problem I see with this is that
messages written by brilliant, emotionally detached super humans are still
going to be read at some point by emotional, potentially malicious, human,
all too human, primates. Damn, I still love the idea though.
Sincerely,
Russell Evermore
