> I don't think I could bring myself to be a "Bright" for that reason (see the-brights.net)... A name is enough of a reason on it's own?

  Sure. That is, my understanding of reality is the same, regardless. I think the goals of "The Brights" are laudable, generally. But I didn't register on their website, and wouldn't really want my photo and identify featured as a Bright, because the name just doesn't feel right to me. How you identify yourself makes a difference to how you're judged, and hence the influence you can bring to bear on the world. Or, you know, if I someday gain a bit more public recognition and clout, it may start to matter then how I self-identified back in 2010.
