I consider myself an Extropian, however !

I feel in the Netherlands one get's further if he/we now and
then add some water to our political-opinions-wine.

Personaly, I feel there will always be one group in
society that just has to be taken care off one way or the
other, regardless of being in favor of free market..............
I'll learn more about Extropy along the way, and maybe one
day I can precisely say, why we should be called
transhumanist and not Extropist. However for the time
being, it just "feels" right to do it this way.

Best regards,
