Extropy is the central/original philosophy of transhumanism and those 
who call themselves extropian are in fact transhumanists.  Not all 
transhumanists are extropian, -- their "knickers get in the way." :-) *

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the 
circle, then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what 
is inside the circle and everything outside the circle, then that is 
an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
