When the SciAm writer says Chalmers seriously thought about whether uploading is physically possible, he adds this disclaimer: "He was not, in fact, insane."
Optimistically though, this is the 2nd stage of cultural penetration: "then they laugh at us..."
Pessimistically, I don't think I have ever seen any evidence that "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" is a particularly good model for memetic penetration of the mainstream.
