[extropy-chat] a separate peace

[Brett Paatsch]

Alan, 

I'm not a she. When you said a certain stage in life I thought you meant my life (so my name would be on the guarantee) not just anyone's life and also that you might put down a specific number in years.  Chances are neither of us will be around by 2101. 

A guarantee can have legal consequences, you realise don't you? Are you sure you want to make it?  If you do, its not Greenwich Time that matters its what jurisdiction you are making the promise from that matters as that would be location in which the meaning of the guarantee would be adduced.  Careful though, do you really want to put yourself in my debt? I might turn up in your neck of the woods with the proof that I am me and ask you to make good on your guarantee and you might have to pay.

  Sworn this day of December 15th, 2005. The bearer is hereby promised after printing this guarantee he or she will at some later stage in life attain increased inner peace by acceptance of the now apparent fact that nationalism and gross oppression will persist in concert for the duration of most of this century. It is also collaterally understood that manhood and warfare are directly linked.
