[ExI] Extropian index and list

[Eschatoon Magic]

I certainly agree with Natasha: all domains are interesting and can be
transhumanist and can be approached from an extropic perspective
and/or considering the issues through the Principles of Extropy. I am
occasionally annoyed by those who always say one the same thing,
without and extropic perspective.
