So we can go back to the transhumanism posts.

No doubt by this weekend I'll be railing against futurologists more than railing against Republicans again.

Your railing against futurologists is smart, funny, and original. Your commentary on politics isn't dumb, but it's not usually funny or all that original, as far I can see. It's your blog, of course, but here's one vote for more of the former, and less of the latter. :)

I tend to blog most about whatever is annoying me or amusing me or preoccupying my attention at the moment or -- occasionally -- issues I am thinking through in real time. The blog's entertainment and persuasive value for readers is kinda sorta incidental (and from my perspective largely unpredictable). Also, I'm teaching an undergraduate course on technodevelopmental questions right now, and so I guess I'm getting my anti-futurological kicks elsewhere for the time being. Glad to have you here, though.

Well, Roko Mijic sez (in a delightfully frank comment in an old blog
thread that engendered considerable concern among the faithful,
at the time; i.e.,
http://metamagician3000.blogspot.com/2008/04/transhumanism-still-at-crossroads.html )

"I think that we need to make it clear that transhumanism is
for rational people ONLY, and criticism of the like found here
will hopefully stop."

Ya got that?
