[ExI] EUGENE!!!!!

[Will Steinberg]

Very progressive post, Alan!  Transhumanism isn't supposed to be a cure for
fear of death but that seems to be the way many people, primarily males,
engage with it.  It's a Gaian trick to encourage you to develop
technology!  Evolution never stopped!

We're all probably going to die.  But hey, God is real and the afterlife
might be too!  Why not help out the future generations in any case?  If you
spend your whole life trying to preserve your individual physical
consciousness, you're not going to be very happy in the case that it
doesn't work out.

Eggs in one basket!
