[ExI] YES! Hard-core transhumanist splinter groups yearning for cyber-heaven

[natasha at natasha.cc]

I must have been born with a confidence gene because I never  
considered myself as part of a fringe, or what one speaker at the  
Humanity+ Summit  called freaks weird, or what RU Sirius dismissed as  
not being hip like the cyberpunk folks, or what anti-transhumanists  
like Mark Gubrub or Dale Carrico write, of even some of Mike Treder’s  
strange comments.

I always have considered transhumanism to be sophisticated, keening  
intelligent, great sense of humor, deeply caring about humanity and  
awake.  Certainly there are some transhumanists who are difficult or  
naïve, or who wear "H+" without understanding its values, but for me  
it is home.

I shine and so do you.

Natasha
