X-Message-Number: 28104 Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2006 23:08:25 -0400 From: Subject: Well, Rudi Hoffman, you started all this! You posted about the Singularity conference, what a great meeting of the big brains it was, then you disappeared. In the interim, I started talking about whether the Singularity is a thing cryonicists ought to try to keep from happening, and things evolved on there by others to discussions about all the other problems in the world. So, it's all your fault (grin!). And you never did answer my question: Did anyone at that conference even say "boo" about whether the Singularity might offer a threat to human existence as we know it, or were all discussions based on the a priori sacred cow that the Singularity is not only to be welcomed with open brains, but also to be nudged along any way possible?
