X-Message-Number: 25199 From: Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2004 16:21:18 EST Subject: Brights' Bulletin 19 -- Nov. 30, 2004, If it will forward, maybe off topic boundary="-----------------------------1102022478" Hello, fellow cryoneters: I don't know if the following will forward or not to the Cryonet format, but I think some of you may be interested in the "Brights" movement/organization. The term "bright" is an umbrella term for those with a naturalistic worldview. The concept is pretty interesting. Here it is. The term "gay" was adopted and helped reduce prejudice and unfairness toward those of alternate sexual orientation. This was a word with one dictionary meaning which has come to be a descriptive word without some previously unacceptable connotations. The term "bright" may or may not catch on, but this is an interesting experiment in memetic engineering that has attracted a large amount of attention, by enlarge positive in my view. Anyway, I hope this forwarding will translate to this list's format, as I think it is at least as relevant to progress in cryonics as other items.
