[extropy-chat] Hello, and Something I Wrote

[Mike15007 at aol.com]

Hello everyone,
 
    I'm a newcomer on the Extropy Chat list, though  I've known about Extropy 
for some time and find I agree with most (not  necessarily quite all) of its 
principles. Well, I consider myself a libertarian  if nothing else, and every 
libertarian should recognize if one finds two or more  people who agree with 
each other on *everything,* there's only one mind  technically at work!
    I am currently a member of the Orions Arm  worldbuilding list and have 
been for some 3 years now. I've been on other lists,  but OA has been my only 
constant. The underlying philosophy of OA, though it is  a sci-fi site, is much 
inspired by Extropy. I understand quite a number of  Extropians are, or have 
been, OA members as well.
    Anyway, just to add to the on-topic discussions on  the list (I notice 
discussion on this list has wandered into an area all too  common on many other 
lists right now - No need to specify!), here's something I  wrote not too long 
ago for OA. It isn't specifically sci-fi, and deals with  real-world events, 
specifically opposition to transhuman technologies by certain  persons with a 
foot or two in the halls of power. Enjoy. Comments and criticisms  welcome

    Recently I've noticed, when I Google "Wisdom of  Repugnance," this essay 
I wrote typically appears in the top 5. I do so  sincerely hope Leon Kass 
Googles frequently >:-)
 
Mike, Newbie
