I’m still wondering if Max Borders is a birth name or a name taken later in life. Max More of the Extropian movement, which emerged out of an extremely pro-technology, future-oriented strain of individualistic anarchism, changed his name to his current one to reflect his beliefs. Borders is a Hobbesian and believes that rights do not exist in the state of nature, which includes uncivilized parts of the modern world. If we want a better life for the uncivilized, are Americans to MAXimize our BORDERS to bring contractual rights to the benighted ones, assuming they are worthy to enter the social contract? Just wondering, almost entirely in jest.
