No, not upswing. Upwing. Upwingers. I seem to recall someone
proposing that term (Max More, Giulio Prisco? Don't remember who)
quite a while ago.<br>
<br>
Basically a reaction against the established right/left division,
and an expression of extropian optimism, I think. "Upwards!, and
Onwards!" type of thing. Never seemed to catch on, anyway.<br>
