Spike, thank you for the reminder that this email list is here for us to
ENJOY ourselves!  : )  I love the whole idea of this place being a big party
(following Eliezer's rule of infinite fun, vrs. Eliezer's notorious
organization known as the "Committee for Investigating Un-Extropian
Activities").

As for us entertaining each other after we have achieved indefinite
lifespan, I can imagine a bunch of somber old fogies (with the outward
appearance of young people) getting together to grumble about how they were
never appreciated for the pioneering generation of transhumanists that they
were, back in the early 21st century.  But we will only be remembered by the
public (and future historians) if we really know how to party!  Spike,
please show us the way...  ; )

John
