Money is what makes things happen, the only force that
we can always rely upon to make things happen.  Transhumanism
will not advance on collective will, self-sacrificing 
volunteers, individual courage, any of that.  Transhumanism 
will be advanced a bit at a time by making each piece of
the journey profitable.  Market forces will make it
happen.  

Consider the small steps we have already made in the
transhuman direction: advanced medical technology, computers, 
the internet, stem cell research, all that.  It only goes
forth when market forces push it forward.

Show them the money, they will come.
