I guess it probably should have been broken up into a couple of shorter ones, but it was a single, short exchange and I just couldn't resist. That the question of the final fate of man, can, like any question, be answered with a greater science, with the hidden arts... this is essentially the message of transhumanist rationality, and it was beautifully phraseds here. "Without a purpose, a man is nothing"... this really should have been off on its own, in retrospect, but its meaning is a little bit less obscure, I think.
