*So your answer to my question is yes. You really DO have to defend
EVERYTHING the man does no matter how stupid.*

*> This isn’t the place for it.*


*I'm confused. You believe the Extropian List is not the place to discuss
the best ways to find the electrical energy needed to power a
superintelligence?! Do you really believe that will have no bearing on
whether China or the US wins the AI race?! Or perhaps it's that you don't
believe it matters if the US or China wins because that will have no effect
on your likelihood of surviving the Singularity. Please clarify, inquiring
minds want to know. *

*Are you really claiming that you yourself have not engaged in "political
chatter" on this list?? I seem to remember something about the horrors of
