Understood John, its not a matter of blandness or famousness, or generating influence under a nom d' guerre, it's simply a minor level of safety and there's not much to it. To be a libertarian one must turn down Big government goodies, because 'A government that governs least, governs best,' and that is too ideological for me. To be a Transhumanist, all you need to have is a desire to look for technical developments in computing and medical science, in a very basic way, and say, 'Let's push back on the human conditions of death, infirmity & disease.' This simply means pushing a much larger amount of money given over to stem graduates to accomplish specific goals to remediate the human condition. By the way I believed that John Locke or Dr. Johnson, or or Baudelaire, who coined the term human condition, but there is no single source, save for Hannah Arendt 1958 who wrote a book about it. Brutal recommendations are welcome as long as they provide some measurable, observable, benefit? I wouldn't mind it a bit if our tax dollars were greatly increased to make 'medicine' much better, quicker, however even Andrew Yang did not run on this. Not sure what Istvan ran on. My suspicion is that nobody in the DNC or RNC gets this notion of funding for specific outcomes medically?

But by the same token if somebody reads a long political post with brutal recommendations but the author refuses to sign it then one should be free to draw their own conclusions as to why. As for me, most of my opinions are extremely unpopular even among a crowd that call themselves transhumanist enthusiasts, but nevertheless I still think I'm correct so I've always used my real name, and you know I must be telling the truth because if I was going to use a pseudonym I wouldn't pick one that was as bland as John K Clark.
