    It's not entirely wrong, what with the early transhumanists setting up shop in SF's hippie culture there was a new left and left anarchist influence on the early tech scene. However the 1980s and the fall of the left in the 90s caused that to disappear.

    I do want to write my marxist history of transhumanism effortpost one day.

      As a former Discordian and guy who has read Robert Anton Wilson in his teens. These guys were clearly bad news from the start.

        Oh, yeah, I know, I grew up on the old USENET lists, but they were a significantly different flavour of bad news than what they became.
