What a guy!  {8^D  One of the things that drew me into Extropian philosophy
is its inherent optimism, or dynamic optimism as Max calls it.  Dynamic
optimism puts the DO in BEST DO IT SO.  This world desperately needs more
DO, so long as it has with it BEST and IT SO:

Dynamic optimism is now called practical optimism.  Its the kind of attitude
that gets you up and doing something to improve the situation, that gets
your energy focused, that makes money, builds up and makes good things
happen.

With that very reasonable explanation we will tolerate temporary
Dwaynestreams.
