Far, far too long to post here, but here are a couple of choice
quotes:
"'I am a 6 foot, 185 pound, 40 year-old, well-educated, married
white male American, with two children. I have a wife Peggy, and
sons Tommy and Andy,' announces Hanson on his personal home page.
All well and good so far, although you might be wondering why we
needed to know his exact weight. Or that he's white. Both those
details, and the fact that he's 'well-educated' are pretty
superfluous in Extropian circles, where the disciples are uniformly
white and well educated. We're not sure if they all weigh 185
pounds, but they're certainly very, very rich."
[...]
"Extropianism, we were told, expoused 'extremely advanced
technology' and displayed 'dedicated, immovable optimism'. The hated
gubberment got it particularly hard from these wealthy uberkinder,
for whom the State was 'regarded as one of the major restrictive
forces in the Milky Way galaxy.'"
Long article, but well worth reading.
