Extropians 1997: Max More and Nick Bostrom on transhumanism and religion

Browsing old Extropians mailing list posts I found a 1997 discussion between Max More and Nick Bostrom, no less, including “Christian Transhumanism, Islamic Transhumanism, and (not too far from their current beliefs) Mormon Transhumanism...”

Includes a love letter to the list.

Cool!  There is reference to the Wired article, which I saw in 1994.  In the early 90s, Eric Drexler was giving occasional lectures in the area on nanotechnology.  I was a big fan of his and went to his talks every time I could.  He was referenced in the 1994 article, which caused me to subscribe to ExI and listen in for a couple years before posting anything.  Many fond memories I have of the wild 90s.
