[Spike, since this is the Newtonmas season, could you post this? it will be
the last one until next Dec.]

 

Not all those interested yet who are reluctant to become involved in h+,
extropianism, technoprogressivism, etc., are lazy and or cowardly. A good
deal of it is that the larger world has a shoot-first-ask-questions-later
mentality of 

"God created us this way, if you try to change it you are" the tool of that
which is evil. They play for KEEPS.

If they were not so trigger-happy, it would be bearable, but the only way to
get along with them is to ignore them, hoping they will cease-fire
eventually, or to be guileful.

 

Neither is a good choice.
