	Extropianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extropy expresses a metaphor, rather than serving as a technical term, and so is not simply the opposite of entropy.
		In 1988, "Extropy: The Journal of Transhumanist Thought" was published, which brought together thinkers to write about artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, life extension, uploading, Idea Futures, robotics, space exploration, memetics and the politics and economics of transhumanism.
		Extropy Institute's email list was launched in 1991 and in 1992 the institute began producing the first conferences on transhumanism, and affiliate members throughout the world who began organizing their own transhumanist groups.

	From the Extropy of the Universe
		The extropy of the Universe (the distance from the state of Heat Death) is determined by the interaction of its material components (expanding in their volume), and this extropy determines the rate of thermodynamic processes.
		As a consequence, the extropy of the universe must be interpreted slightly differently from the usual interpretation of extropy: here it is not the distance from the equilibrium with environment, but the distance from the intrinsic equilibrium, which is the state where the matter components are in equilibrium with respect to each other.
		Nonetheless, the dependence of extropy on the strength of interaction shows a monotone function: the stronger the interaction is, the smaller the extropy becomes.

	The extropy institute: extropy.com - Stormfront White Nationalist Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		While extropy is a relatively new organization by comparison to Dr. William Luther Pierces' (founder of the national alliance) spiritual physics (cosmotheism) of the mid 1960's - (cosmotheism.net), there is still a lot to learn from this group (not politically though, they are still back water pc liberals).
		Thus, I would encourage everyone to join the extropy mailing list at http://www.extropy.org/exi-lists/ and learn about the transhuman technologies which can greatly advance the White race, or at least those Whites who choose to apply the technology.
		But, there are also many Whites on the Extropy mailing list, Whites who have been indoctrinated for their whole life to hate their own White race and to be ashamed of their history.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As I see it, extropy is the opposite of entropy only in a metaphorical sense.
		In the Extropian Principles 2.5, Max More suggests this definition of extropy: "EXTROPY -- A measure of intelligence, information, energy, vitality, experience, diversity, opportunity, and growth." So extropy is neither a purely physical term nor a purely information-theoretic one, but "the opposite of entropy" makes a good metaphor for what it means.
		The evolution of life is a good example of increasing extropy, yet the evolution of life required no contradiction of the second law of thermodynamics.
