So i presented my short introduction to Actualism to a group of friends on Saturday and to another friend on Sunday. Both times it generated a lively discussion. Several members of the Saturday group hypothesized that becoming AF would turn one into a vegetative bliss-junkie, that all artistic and creative will would vanish, and that it would suck to be incapable of experiencing love or empathy anymore. Others thought that AF would be a perfect way to live a life.
I learned a lot preparing and giving this presentation, and am now totally on board with Actualism. Enough study, it's time to practice!
I reworked the presentation for conciseness one more time. If you'd like to read, use, and modify it for non-commercial purposes, then here you go:
Keynote version (Mac only; includes a few presenter notes)
PDF version (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.; no transition effects)
Enjoy, and let me know if you find any errors.

P.S. Oh, and i was thinking: even more engaging than a Keynote introduction to Actualism would be a narrated animation introduction to Actualism. Any artists out there keen?
