There's a lot of one-dimensional ideologies being argued for (like Libertarianism or Socialism for instance) or bizarre intellectual blind-spots. I think rationality, imagination and empirical knowledge ultimately wins out over raw IQ. The only person on the lists that's really any good is Eliezer but even he is not *that* good: my impression that a REAL transhuman would still eat that Eliezer pussy for breakfast (intellectually) and as for everyone else, a real transhuman would find their arguments so laughable that it wouldn't even bother to respond ;) </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>No one here but me spotted the three time dimensions (which believe me to a real transhuman will be the most friggin obvious thing in the world) nor did any one here but me spot 7-aspect monism (the 7 fundamental properties making up the deep structure of reality).
