Someone
who wants to manage the world as a precious resource, as opposed to extropians who want to let an evolution-like
process change it (it should be noted that the term extropian
used in this definition doesn't necessarily cover all people calling themselves
extropians).
The stewards and extropians
represent divergent
philosophies of change: stewards think about what is already there, while extropians think about how things can or will
evolve. [Jaron Lanier, Getting Deeper Into The Topspin, Spin Magazine, 1991]
