<dd>Dirk and everyone,<br><br>
<dd>I think that my response to Dirk came off as too harsh. Please
forgive me if this is so. Sometimes I am not fully confident that I
understand Dirk, and could have miscalculated. My response is that
if Dirk thinks that extropy can be interpreted in a myriad of ways, this
is off the mark because extropy = extropy. Interpretations of an
ideological outcome from extropy can indeed be interpreted in a number of
ways that authentically reflect the principles. What we are
striving for a viewpoint that is extropic and which reflects the most
advantageous outcomes for transhumanity.<br><br>

And that's where the problem may lie.<br>
What if the extropic is *not* the most efficacious path to
Transhumanity? </blockquote><br>
Good question. Let's discuss extropic then.<br><br>
