[extropy-chat] it had to happen...

[Samantha Atkins]

As the world gets more complex we really cannot afford to have a lot  
of respect for "folk beliefs" embodying bogus notions about reality.   
Nor can we afford to equate "slamming" ideas with "slamming" people.   
It is not at all smart to entertain these "folk beliefs" or to  
tolerate them without comment, especially in one's own e-home.
