Extropy Institute

Stance favoring continuous technological evolution and longer lifespans

Extropianism, also referred to as the philosophy of extropy, is an "evolving framework of values and standards for continuously improving the human condition". Extropians believe that advances in science and technology will some day let people live indefinitely. An extropian may wish to contribute to this goal, e.g. by doing research and development or by volunteering to test new technology. Originated by a set of principles developed by the philosopher Max More in The Principles of Extropy, extropian thinking places strong emphasis on rational thinking and on practical optimism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extropianism
