But I found it a v. well written sympathetic critique of
extropianism & highly recommend it. What do people think of its call
for a "humanist transhumanism"?
I found Ben's essay to contain a certain bias which detracts from its
substance. If Ben would like to debate key assumptions his essay
claims, I available. Otherwise, if anyone is interested in key points
which I belive are narrowly-focused and/or misleading, I'll post them.

circle, then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what
is inside the circle and everything outside the circle, then that is
an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
