If Extropianism were defined merely as a Libertarian spin-off, then I would
get concerned. From what I understand, this in not so, although cool things
like free-enterprise investments are surely, a way to prime the technological
pump.
If one has defined goals, one should not spend all one's limited resources
propagating tertiary sub-goals, such as catering to the baddies. You
logically can if you wish to make allies of them. But then, that changes the
purported goals of the group, and I look rather silly under a white hood :-(
I would be canceling outta here if I came to believe that Extropianism was
merely another wing of the Klan, or a propaganda cell of the Communist
Workers Movement. I would also warn other what had happened to Extropians.
This doesn't seem to be the case, though I do admitt I have a lower tolerence
then the ACLU does for "free speech"-more on that later.
