Whatever to it takes to end humans' quarrels, we all live on the same damn planet for crying out loud.

This world needs more compassion, more respect for the different, more tolerance, more Love and, in short, more UNION among all human beings together with our brothers the animals. Biological immortality will soon be a reality. Regards!

Hank Pellissier - I am for inclusion of everyone. Rachel is not alt right and it is unfair that she's excluded because she has been perceived as alt right. But... I am not in favor of excluding the alt right, either. I believe in maintaining dialogue with everyone, even if they have opinions that we strongly disagree with.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about what Transhumanism entails, for those who don’t do their homework properly that is, but to mistake a Transhumanist for an Alt Righter? This isn’t stupidity, this is simply malicious and destructive behavior . This level of ignorance and stupidity, which affects the wellbeing and livelihood of so many well-intended hard-working people, no longer has a place in a civilized society.

Hi, I'm just really tired of watching people go through this. Please end the trend of mobs being able to silence people who are bringing to light ideas that make them uncomfortable or that "just don't like".

Absolutely. Restrictions to freedom of thought and expression represent the greatest enemies to sentience.

I'm interested in this cause, but there aren't enough details listed here to show Rachel was treated unfairly. Can you add the specifics of what words or actions of Rachel's lead to this decision, why they are false, and how Rachel has supported the pursuit of improving human experience through the use of science and technology?

To insinuate that Rachel is "alt-right" would be like implying that the Dalai Lama is a Calvinist or that a Citroën 2CV is a Chevrolet... Just plain stupid and nonsensical...

Christine Peterson of the Foresight Institute chose a weak path of mob rule and did not stand up for diversity of thought and background. Christine Peterson's discrimination is not okay.

We need to put thought into decisions when we are leaders, we don't just respond mob outcry

I have also been a victim of this bullying, losing a quarter million dollar a year position in the tech industry because of unnamed persons making unfounded accusations. Such people are unmitigated evil, but it is our responsibility to refuse to give credibility to such deplatforming campaigns.

Transhumanism continues to prefer orthodoxy to free speech. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/23311886.2016.1167576
