X-Message-Number: 11144 From: Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 12:59:32 -0600 (CST) Subject: Applause and Thanks To Thomas Donaldson: I applaud and concur with your intention in message 11126 to choose to analyze the issue of identity. I lean heavily in some very radical directions due to experiments from introspection and exposure to non-Western cultural perspectives on this issue, but right or wrong it is useful to share perspectives regading this in my opinion. Thank you! To Olaf Henny: Thank you for identifying Max Plank as the source of the quote "Science progresses funeral by funeral" in message 11134. I find this particular quote a succinct statement regarding the never- ending struggle between primate politics (self-esteem traps) and authentic technological and scientific progress. Thank you! -George Smith signed-up for cryonics Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=11144
