Kelly Digges@kellydigges·Sep 24, 2017Replying to @vgrWait, so you do want to take all of humanity along, or...? Having trouble working out which is more radical to you. :B1
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Sep 24, 2017Replying to @kellydiggesYeah both are radical I guess. I'm now fine with leaving majority behind :D11
Kelly Digges@kellydigges·Sep 24, 2017Replying to @vgrI'd say leaving most of humanity behind is fairly conventional. Could be radical, though, depending on who you're planning on leaving.11
