size=2 face=Arial>Nice site and I love the graphics. But I am not too fond of
zero suffering. In fact, I don't mind a little headache every now and then
and actually I like a solid mental or physical struggle to overcome.
The notion of a zero suffering reminds me of the notion of "perfection",
which is something I find little value in because once perfection is reached,
there is no further aim/goal. The very act of perfection, in and of
itself, lacks praxis. I wonder if the same could be said of "zero
suffering". If it is a "transhuman praxis" you are fostering (and the
transhuman praxis is what I personally value above all else), then it must not
have zero suffering in order to be a viable praxis.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
