I only thought of this after reading your response, but if extropian beliefs
are naturally occuring - People must be natural optimists and only learn to
be pessimists. What a nice thought! If only we could teach people to
unlearn their behaviour and conditioning.
Another 'nice thought' is that over time things tend to reform to their
natural states.
