[ExI] This is my last post to the Extropian List

[Will Steinberg]

Yin and yang, ebb and flow, equivalent exchange.   Did the void from John's
plans to leave draw in Gorson?  Or did the coming arrival of Gordon create
outwards pressure?   Call it extropian degeneracy pressure. ;)

Gotta get teleological, folks.

When a photon hits the chloroplast, it travels down the shortest path
possible because it takes all paths.  Could it have taken any other path
but the shortest?  Or is it...fate?  As above, so below.

Btw Gordon, I think I'm ready for a new Chinese Room thread--had a lot of
time to think about it over the last decade.
