Hello there. I'm in Sydney. Where are you? I'm a newcomer to extropian
ideas. I found it through libertarian links and am familiar with the
libertarian/legal polycentrism aspect. With the rest, I am still exploring
though I have always found the hard AI arguments and the Richard
Dawkins-type arguments which underlie some extropian ideas very convincing.
My intepretation of extropian political ideas would be an emphasis on legal
polycentrism, individualism and respect for science and rationality. Some
very Objectivist memes there. If this is what you have in mind, I'd be happy
to see an extropian party having an educative influence on Australians.
