What's wrong with acknowledging differences? If two people (or
groups) agree on everything, then one of them is redundant and
useless. Extropians are a specific subset of transhumanists, and
as such, there will be transhumans with interests that are anti-,
or at least non-, Extropian. That's completely expected, normal,
and good.
When transhumanists point out places where they think Extropians
aren't helping their cause, the appropriate response is not
"how can we come to agreement?" it is "thank you for pointing
out how our ideas are superior."
