[extropy-chat] Reccommendations for a mailing list

[Natasha Vita-More]

The list is not dead.  That's like saying art is dead, which was a very 
poor forecast.

I would like to see a extropy-chat-politics list.  I'd also like to see 
transhumanists discussing world future issues and politics away from the 
standard libertarian and social democrat soap-boxes.

About the WTA main list -- it goes through all sorts of problems, just like 
all lists.  That list has political bonkers, stale days and vivid 
days.  Just yesterday there were political postings on the main list, not 
the political list, and an argument, right?

On this list, I'd like to see ideas developed, discussed and debated.  Now, 
with all that said, does anyone have a topic that will enrich our thinking 
and understanding of how the heck we are going to realize our extropic future?

Thanks,
Natasha
