If you hang around this list for a while you will discover intriguing ideas 
about the future, new technologies, application of technologies, social 
issues, concerns about the world and our place in it, and a few jokes and 
off the wall topics here and there.

If you want to learn more about the philosophy of Extropy, go to the 
website at http://www.extropy.org and read the material there, especially 
the Principles of Extropy.

If you would like to know how we are planning to deal with some of the Big 
issues concerning our future and extropian transhumanists, then read about 
the Proactionary Principle as a standard or measure for addressing a smart 
balance between caution and progress.

Welcome to the list,

Natasha
