X-Message-Number: 16125 From: Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 00:37:26 EDT Subject: Roomate for EXTRO 5 Hello, Again, Rudi here. I am thrilled to be attending the EXTRO 5 conference in San Jose on June 15-17. Ray Kurzweil, Max More, and other folks who thought constructs are quite literally creating the future will be there. Most folks on this board are familiar with the Extropy Institute. If you are not or even if you are, I would encourage you to go to Extropy.org and check on some of the more recent writings. The only disappointing thing to me about reading the Extropy writings is that some people are so much god damn smarter that me. They have taken thoughts I have had in a fuzzy way, and nailed them to print with a crystalline precision that I admire (and, yes, even envy). My only consolation is figuring that they are not quite as pragmatic or as knowledgeable about life insurance as I am. But maybe they don't want to be:). But I digress from the purpose of this posting, which is to ask if any of you are going to the conference, and if you would like to share a room, and maybe a car rental. It is going to be a fascinating and fun party. An intellectual orgy, of sorts. (My term, not extro's) Rather than gumming up cryonet with this personal issue, if you would like to email me at I would be happy to respond. I can't wait for the conference! I am *really* excited about this, as I have wanted to go for some years now. Hope to meet some or a bunch of you great people, including some who are happily life insurance clients of mine who I have yet to meet in person. (Meatspace, in the vernacular.)
