I wonder, what exactly is extropian? And to be extropian, do you have to
know what an extropian is or does, or do you just have to want to increase
your personal extropy? And if that is so, then surely everyone is extropian,
someone with a defeatist attitude has just built that attitude on top of a
nice clean extropian foundation. After all, if we didn't want to improve
ourselves we'd all be primates.
