Very well, let us do it thus: go ahead with the discussion.  If we come up
with interesting stuff with a transhumanist angle, and doesn't devolve into
mundane politics and pointless arguments, the list Temporary Benevolent
Dictator will allow it; yea, encourage such an exchange he will.  Otherwise,
the thread will be summarily dumped into the bit bucket, and further
exchange on that topic will be discouraged.  Do treat this topic with the
care it requires.
