[extropy-chat] Fwd: SURVIVAL: An impulse behind transhumanism?

[nvitamore at austin.rr.com]

From: P.J. Manney & E. Gruendemann 

"First of all, we have to define 'survival.'"

Yes, I should have done this.  

Survival = the pursuit of staying alive.  This would include the ability to
design solutions to overcome conflicts that threaten existence.

Survivalist: "A person who anticipates potential disruption in the
continuity of society and takes steps to survive in the resulting
unpredictable situation. Some survivalists approach  historical incidents
and actively prepare themselves with tools and information needed to handle
repeats of those same events."  [Wikipedia]
