@niplav e/accs: omg we’re the real transhumanists, we vanished for decades
lesswrong: get off my lawn
@sophon@plma.plus.st @niplav@schelling.pt anyone still remembers the extropians?
@niconiconi @sophon
yup what a great name
was before my time tho
maybe someday i'll read the mailing list archives, must've been utterly deranged
@niconiconi @sophon
yeah i mean Wei Dai & Hal Finney were both cypherpunks (and heavily involved in bitcoin early on) *and* extropians and active in the rationality community
I'm pretty sure if I read the archives I'd find some surprising further connections, the 'net wasn't that big back then
@niplav @niconiconi @sophon we've still got an extropian or two around, paging @jdp
