Yes, and a more enlightened group might build-in a foundational principle of 
growth, embracing change that leads to furtherance of the group's evolving 
values within a co-evolving environment.

Taking a look at the ExI page at http://www.extropy.org/principles.htm my 
expectations were confirmed by examples such as the following:

...to consider the Principles of Extropy as an evolving framework of 
attitudes, values, and standards...

Headings of Perpetual Progress, followed by Self-Transformation seem to make 
the point unmistakeably clear.

Dirk, did you read (or refresh your reading of) the principles before making 
your earlier statements?
