I think any skill in isolation is extropic--what's unextropic would
be to go out of your way to avoid the benefits of comparitive
advantage by doing things for yourself that could be done much
more efficiently by others. If you are good at repairing engines,
that's great. I wouldn't touch one with a ten-foot pole. But I
enjoy exercising my skils in cooking, for example, which you might
not have any inclination toward. So my time is best spent cooking,
and earning money to pay mechanics; yours is best spent mechanically,
and earning moeny to pay cooks.
