It is not as if this kind of debate is irrelevant to an extropian future. 
Although we may be confident that the advanced technology WILL arrive. And 
while we may be even quite sure that we can confidently predict a broad 
arange of things that the technology MIGHT empower us to do - what actually 
happens is a function of the political process now and in the future.

I think that future politics are far more worrisome and have a far greater 
potential for disaster than any future advances in technology. After all the 
technology is neutral - the users of technology are not.
