The origins of modern
transhumanism



 

The Extropy Institute pioneered the multidisciplinary discussions of future
technologies and their social context, and remains a highly valued force in that
field. — Aubrey de Grey

Join our efforts in supporting the LIBRARY OF TRANSHUMANISM

AND THE
 ProP !


 

Extropy Institute continues to support critical research and development of
sciences and technologies of human enhancement.  For further information on our
2004 Vital Progress Summit please follow this link:  About the VP Summit

In late 2006, Extropy Institute closed.  ExI's Strategic Plan explains the
details of this decision and the potential for the future of ideas that were
generated during ExI's lifetime.

The philosophy of Extropy continues on into the future.

This website is the "Library of Transhumanism, Extropy and the Future". The
Extropy e-mail list continues to be very active and is the main venue for
transhumanists and one of the best places on the Internet to meet transhumanists
for challenging and creative discussions about the future.

Welcome to website of Extropy Institute, the original force behind the
philosophy and global cultural movement of transhumanism. We welcome you to join
our efforts in promoting The Proactionary Principle.

The world needs critical thinkers now!
What is Extropy Institute?  Extropy Institute is a think tank ideas market for
the future of social change brought about by consequential technologies. Our
Board of Directors, Advisors and Proactive Supporters bring together diverse
ideas about the future. Our approach is proactive, our focus critical, and our
ideas are principled in addressing social concerns and questions that will make
or break the future of humanity. Extropy Institute has been pioneering critical
and creative thinking about the future for the past 17 years.

The Mission of ExI has been to serve its members by ensuring a reputable, open
environment for discussing the impacts of emerging technologies and for
collaborating with diversely-skilled experts in exploring the future of
humanity.

As a philosophical and cultural organization, our goals include being an
international resource for strategic thinking about the future.  Specific
outcomes of our vision over the years have been recognized through publications,
conferences, virtual summits, university courses, extropy-chat email list, and
members' projects; working toward designing our future. The outcomes are located
on our resources page.

Support the ideas vital to our future by participating in the global community
and become proactive and support the Proactionary Principle. 

The current project:

ExI Project No. 1 - PROACTIONARY PRINCIPLE
As human lives and the global environment become ever more interconnected with
technology, we become increasingly responsible for making wise decisions about
how to use it. We need a balanced opinion on how to apply technology to human
needs.  We should not reject the products of applied science; neither should we
implement powerful new technologies without foresight and proactive preparation.
Above all, we must not tackle the decisions of the future with the cognitive
habits of the past. We need new, smarter ways to evaluate the opportunities and
dangers issuing from nanotechnology, genetics, machine intelligence, climate
engineering, or neurological modification. The Proactionary Principle (ProP) is
designed explicitly for this purpose.

The Mission of ExI in its transformational change is to serve its members by
developing a core group to encourage and support the furtherance of the
Proactionary Principle.

Vision:  Our core group uses the most advanced decision-making and forecasting
methods to promote critical and creative thinking about emerging technologies.
We advise the public and private sectors on policies and initiatives to better
manage risks and maximize benefits and opportunities arising from emerging
technologies. Our passion is helping others to improve decision-making about
these technologies, especially those presenting challenges without
precedent—sometimes even affecting the human condition itself.
