could be. I gave you a few more points to make you positive again. Try now?
thanx. gave you some karma points too.
unfortunately i still don't see an edit button.
my karma score is now zero; at least that's better than negative.
i remember i needed at least two karma points to make a post.
i wonder if the wiki has anything to say about this.
i know i'm not overlooking something because i've edited this post before, but now i dont see the option to edit.
the edit icon should be next to the floppy disk icon to "unsave" in the bottom right corner of the post.
i can send you a screen shot if that helps.
i still think its because of karma.

Glossary of Futurology
personal formatting request - can you unbolden the top section and use a page-separation line instead? Thnx
i don't see how i can edit, or add a page-break. i was able to edit before but now o don't see an edit button. is it perhaps because i have a negative karma score? i'm new here.

Glossary of Futurology
Hi guys,
So I've been curating this glossary over at https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/. I want it to be sort of an introduction to future focused topics. A list of words that the layman can read and be inspired by. I try to stay away from household words (i.e. cyberspace), science fiction topics (i.e. dyson sphere), words that describe themselves (i.e. self driving cars), obscure and rarely used words (i.e. betelgeuse-brain), and words that can't be found in most dictionaries (i.e. Rocko's Basilisk (i've been meaning to remove that one)). Most of the glossary is from words and phrases I find on the /r/Futurology forum. I have a whole other list with potential words for the glossary that i collect just waiting for the day to be added (i.e particle accelerator, Aerogel, proactionary principle). I find curating the glossary to be more of an art than a science. I try to balance the list between science, technology, philosophy, ideology, and sociology. I like to find related topics to expand the list (i.e. terraforming & geoengineering). Even though the glossary is in alphabetical order i want it to read somewhat like a story.
Anders Sandberg of The Future of Humanities Institute, Oxford told me "I like the usefulness of your list..."
I'm interested to know what you guys think.

Welcome to Less Wrong! (8th thread, July 2015)
Hello everyone,
/u/mind_bomber here from https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology.
I've been a moderator there for over two years now and watched the community grow from several thousand futurist to over 3.5 million subscribers. As a moderator I've had the pleasure of working with Peter Diamandis, David Brin, Kevin Kelly, and others on several AMA's. I also curate the glossary and post videos, documentaries, talks, and keynotes to the site.
I hope to participate in this community, although the Less Wrong Community is exactly the type of people I would like to see over at https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology. So if you have a chance please stop by and tell me what you think.
Cheers,
/u/mind_bomber

most likely karma. Try ask for a few spare karma points in the open thread so that you can get this fixed.
done. unboldened the top section and added a "summery break."
is a "summery break" the same as a "page-separation line?" i dont really see what a "summery break" does, but it was the closest thing i saw to a "page seperation line."
