The list is not dead. That's like saying art is dead, which was a
very poor forecast.<br><br>
I would like to see a extropy-chat-politics list. I'd also like to
see transhumanists discussing world future issues and politics away from
the standard libertarian and social democrat soap-boxes.<br><br>
About the WTA main list -- it goes through all sorts of problems, just
like all lists. That list has political bonkers, stale days and
vivid days. Just yesterday there were political postings on the
main list, not the political list, and an argument, right?<br><br>
On this list, I'd like to see ideas developed, discussed and
debated. Now, with all that said, does anyone have a topic that
will enrich our thinking and understanding of how the heck we are going
to realize our extropic future?<br><br>
Thanks,<br>
Natasha<br><br>

Over at the WTA there's a wta-politics@, and a rather firm policy to
move<br>
polarizing, unconstructive, toxic, moronic drivel there. And to KEEP
IT<br>
THERE.<br><br>
I see there's no firm support for the motion (to establish an<br>
extropy-politics@, and list snipers to enforce thread outsorcing, to
spell it<br>
out).<br><br>
Which effectively means this list is dead, on the long run. <br><br>
It's on life support right now, but the decline has been so slow and
steady<br>
that you all think this is normal. This how lists ought to be,
right?<br><br>

We all have to shit. But don't shit where you eat. I can't put it any
plainer<br>
than that.<br><br>
