Sex, Drugs, and Cults. An evolutionary psychology perspective on why
and how cult memes get a drug-like hold on people, and what might be
done to mitigate the effects.

H. Keith Henson was one of the founders, and first president of the
L5 Society, now merged with the National Space Society. During L5's
successful fight against the Moon Treaty he testified before
Congress. In the late 70s, he wrote papers on vapor phase fabrication
and space radiators with Eric Drexler. (They hold patents on these
topics jointly.) Nanotech got him into cryonics where (in the early
90s) he learned how to do cardiac surgery on cryonics patients--some
with HIV. His interest in human rights, particularly free speech, led
him into a battle on the Internet with a certain vicious and
litigious cult. As a result he is now a political refugee in Canada.
