"Sometimes it will produce people who guard a specific view of the future."

Anyone read Joseph's post (just above) and immediately think 'Singularitarians!'?

Certainly the majority of (though not all) people I've met who assign that word to themselves are closer to being Guardians than Seekers. Fairly natural in that all causes want to be cults, but still likely to be harmful to the cause.
