However, I must say that I am a transhumanist. Why? Because I've met humans, and I know one of them from the inside, and I don't think a Serengeti Mark II brain is adequate to the level of power we've got.

- but to discount the astonishingly unique Jewel that is Earth & the evolution of Life - the whole Environment right here - is a catastrophic vacuum event within the mind, heart & conscience of Homo Sapiens here already & now.
Terraforming another undeserving planet is so far out ahead of us @ present it's essentially Captain Nemo pathology to consider it within our foreseeable grasp in any probable way.
(((Murakami Whywolf):
Their argument is that it's as much death as falling asleep and waking-up. I'll reserve judgement until I get the opportunity.

No, I think Pournelle might have hammed it up to better troll decent folk, but I think he devoutly (he was some sort of Catholic, I gather, even though there's this story I heard in which he was bent on adultery) believed in the opinions of the 'Good' Guys in that book.

The heroes use nuclear power, fight with poison gas, and wind up enslaving the bad guys, who are mostly black.

(((Murakami Whywolf):
As an example, I'd say that he would firmly deny being racist, but blame their culture and White Liberals for making those black people the bad guys not up to Saving the World.
