Good question. Sounds like they are talking about Extropians
as a group. They seem to be leaning in the direction of
establishing a new "religion", so the princples of "rational
thinking" and "self-direction" would seem to represent a
threat.

Other than identifying us as a threat (and perhaps wanting
to create a new religion) their general desires seem aligned
with Extropians.

Warning, the "New Sexuality" perspective (#7) -- "Here are some
new possibilities" is a *bit* bizarre. (This is old ground
I think as there was a Greg Bear(???) novel that covered
this and then of course Arnold's Mars adventure).
