Um, excuse me, but isn't that precisely why we're all here...to *maximize*
such things as health, justice and happiness? If you are really afraid that
you might become "too healthy" or "too happy", how can you possibly call
yourself an extropian? I haven't read the ExI principles, but I'm sure
there's nothing in there about placing any limits on things like health,
longevity or happiness.
