"Extropy" is a word for an idea. Discussing a better form for its
definition - in an open forum that concerns it - seems like a good,
appropriate, interesting, and even obvious thing to do. Now if only
somebody would think of something useful, and post back to this thread! ;)

I would like to be able to begin a discussion of extropy without requiring
my conversation partners to learn many new words or digest a lot of text.
The meme market is tough. Attention is a precious resource. I would like to
try not to befuddle those who would otherwise be immediately sympathetic to
the cause if I did a better job.
Since it's a question I get asked a lot, I am trying to make it more easily
communicable for me. That's what I mean by better. I hope to benefit by it;
others may also. Hair-splitting doesn't interest me - communicating
powerfully does.
