Max has suggested that v.3.0 of the Extropian Principles will rely on the
rather exotic-sounding acronym, BIDOITSO (Boundless Improvement, Dynamic
Optimism, Intelligent Technology, and Self-Ownership).

Because I place great importance on effective mnemonic devices, and love
wordplay, I've come up with some alternatives to "Boundless Improvement" that
preserve the phrase's meaning but provide stickier acronyms.

I offer three alternatives, together with suggested mnemonic devices:

LI = limitless improvement
   SO LIBIDO!

UP = unlimited/unbounded progress/perfecting
   DO IT SO UP!
   UP! DO IT SO!
   SO? DO IT! UP!!

BE = boundless evolution/enhancement
   DO IT! BE SO!

T.0. Morrow
