Fine - you mindlink with a whole load of Moslem and Xian fundies, plus a few
Leon Kass' and you think something good will come out of the mix because
your oh-so-rational Transhumanist meme will triumph? You're the one living
in a fantasy land if you believe that.

The only thing mass indicriminate mind-mind link will achieve is stupidity
and self delusion on a scale as yet unseen.
And as soon as you discriminate you are into tribalism.
