Extropianism

Extropism stems from the word extropy, which means "the opposite of entropy". Its followers believe that an ever-accelerating progression to higher intelligence (due to processes like evolution and technological progress) will happen. Whether this leads to a so-called singularity or just continues in an exponential-growth fashion is subject of debate amongst them. In general, they tend to have an optimistiv view of the future, expecting big advances in computational power, life expectancy, nanotechnology and the likes.
