People like to talk. Consider this question...and my bothering to respond.
Also, this list is called "sl4", which I believe stands for "shock level
4". That isn't the same as "IA builders list", or "Singularity
Evangelists". It's for discussing ideas that people find so outrageous
that they can't find anyone around to talk with about. How many people
do you know that would stand around contemplating the Fermi Paradox?
(Bet they ALL read science fiction!) But this also isn't about fiction.
Warning: I'm not a list moderator. I'm telling you MY opinion of what
the list is about, not the official word.
