Firstly, they are not MY ultra-socialists.

Secondly, I find your attitudes here rather wanting. If extropians are
such big supporters of futures markets being the best predictors of
facts and future events, and futures markets behave according to price
signals created by mass consensus, and mass consensus is that Iraq was
involved in al Qaeda, isn't that more true than the flawed intelligence
agencies conclusions that totally missed the events leading up to 911?
