If you're into transhumanism and technology, there are lots of
resources and groups talking about those subjects. The Extropian
Principles, however, explicitly value self-ownership and spontaneous
order. Political issues that conflict with these princliples are
on topic. Particularly issues that concern supression of freedom
to explore new ideas and new technologies.
Anyone who fights death is a transhumanist; an Extropian has to
fight both death /and/ taxes.
