The extopian POV is DANGEROUS optimism. It is based on the misconception
of infinite resources and so it IS invalid. When those resources run out,
and since
they are finite they will, then extopianism wll be defeased. But not
before. It will
only be proved wrong when it is too late. Until then it will be very
successful, and
that success will help gather it new recruits.
Cheers, Alastair.
