Goals of Transpolitica
The goals of Transpolitica are to:
- Enable society to transcend the limitations and constraints of today’s political models
- Anticipate the better political practices of an envisaged technoprogressive future
- Advocate the practical policies that will advance that future
- Engage people at all levels of politics and society around the world, to support and implement these policies
- Support transhumanists within political parties of all shapes and stripes
H+ and P+
Transhumanism (H+) is a way of thinking about the future that is based on the premise that the human species in its current form does not represent the end of our development but rather a comparatively early phase. [Quoted from the Transhumanist FAQ]
As the philosopher Max More stated in 1990:
Transhumanism is a class of philosophies of life that seek the continuation and acceleration of the evolution of intelligent life beyond its currently human form and human limitations by means of science and technology, guided by life-promoting principles and values.
In short, transhumanism anticipates tomorrow’s humanity:
- Envisaging the positive qualities and characteristics of future intelligent life
- Taking steps towards achieving these qualities and characteristics
- Identifying and managing risks of negative characteristics of future intelligent life.
Similarly, Transpolitica (P+) anticipates tomorrow’s politics:
- Envisaging the positive qualities and characteristics of future social structures
- Taking steps towards achieving these qualities and characteristics
- Identifying and managing risks of negative characteristics of future social structures.
