[extropy-chat] future is up for grabs

[Al Brooks]

This will be my last post for the day, because four political posts per day is now considered the upper limit by the moderators, and two makes them less nervous about dozens of political posts piling up.
Don't forget how the American public at best has a Jetsons view of the future: two kids, the dog Astro and the angry boss at Spacely Sprockets or Cogswell Cogs-- that is to say today's life with tomorrow's tech. And that's a positive scenario. As you know, many believe in 'Armaggedon'. And in the middle are dystopians. So what can a forthright politician do with a public harboring extremely negative; dystopian; and Jetsons' "I have seen the past and it works" views towards the future?
