This is great as is, but how about including something even more proactive,
supporting the *importance* of difference and variety, such as: "In
addition, the Extropy Institute believes that diversity is desirable and
leads to increased diversity of thought, which is essential for exploring
new avenues of self-creation and self-transformation."

If every Transhumanist were of the exact same "race," gender, age, body type
and religion, and had the exact same sexual preferences and upbringing, we
wouldn't have a very dynamic movement.
