I hardly think: "extropians who look forward to the eventual enlighten-
ment" are just atavars seeking to return to a hunter-gatherer existence.
But perhaps d.a.christie would like to try to take a crack at this;
alas I have the feeling that getting anything even remotely resembling
traditional ideas of enlightenment past the extropian gauntlet will
be at least as difficult as getting the proverbial camel through the
eye of the needle.
