[Natasha Vita-More]

"There's an excellent article entitled 
<http://www.thenewatlantis.com/archive/11/rubin.htm>The Rhetoric of 
Extinction by Charles T. Rubin in The New Atlantis. He cheerfully shreds 
the transhumanist movement for its mendacity and preposterous pollyana 
optimism."

[Please note that the article by Rubin is historically inaccurate.  He must 
have gotten his references from a website or someone who never took the 
time to check references or perform reliable research.]

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
