positive vice negative?

Mark, I really enjoyed your meeting just now, and I’m intrigued by neo-tech. You speak and write at great length about happiness and play, and I’m with that 100%. In the 3 volumes there is certainly a lot that I enjoyed, and with which I agreed, but I was a bit put off by the continual negativity about anticivilization and neo-cheaters… etc. I know that you need to make the point about neo-tech being superior from many different perspectives, but I found myself wanting to gloss over the negative stuff, as I do with newspapers. (I don’t even watch TV any more!) Is it that other people need more convincing about neo-tech than I did?
