[This goes out to most of my address book, to let those who know me mostly from
classical music, for example, of my other interests. We attended the annual
meeting here in 2000 and will be back. I know or have been in e-contact with or
have read books by Arnhart, Gross, Hughes, Masters, Roberts, and Rothman.
[What's completely new is two sessions on transhumanism. The sparks flew most
wildly at the 2000 conference over innate racial differences in psychology. My
impression is that the passion has gone out of defenders of physiology-only
differences, and so transhumanism is well-poised to take its place at the scene
of most contest. We shall see.]
