[extropy-chat] Call for contributions: "Intro to H+" book

[Extropian Agroforestry Ventures Inc.]

Given human past tendancies to exterminate those who have some 
difference in outward appearance it would be best if a poshuman would be 
like a camelion.... keep a relatively human appearance while in the 
company of the old-style humans and transhumans in public and adopt  a 
more unique appearance in private. 

Alternatively generate a hologram  to customize outward appearances  to 
the percieved comfort level of the observer.  Essentially clothes could 
be replaced by a hologram to mask  more functional body function and 
body maintence suits.
