I was also sympathetic to the Singularitarians but eventually came to view them as a few self-righteous nutters on ego-trips.<BR/><BR/>Regardings both the Extropians/Libertarians and the Singularitarians I have to say (with something a heavy heart) that it appears to me now that you had them both correctly pegged from the start. <BR/><BR/>I no longer identity myself a 'Transhumanist' either and have learned a real hard lesson. I guess I will stay away from all 'isms' for the rest of my life.<BR/><BR/>And you're right. Absolutely no-one will ever care about a few up-themselves well-off nerds pushing extremist ideologies (like Libertarianism or Singularitarianism) on Internet mailing lists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
