Extropianism
A transhumanist philosophy that treats "extropy" — intelligence, information, energy, vitality, experience, diversity, opportunity, and growth — as the good to be increased, and advocates using technology to overcome biological, cultural, and political limits on human flourishing.
Origin
The term and the Extropian Principles were developed by Max More and the Extropy Institute, growing out of the journal Extropy beginning in 1988. The source page is an MIT mirror of the Institute's early statement.
