Extropianism
Origin: Lat.extra, tropos, Gr. τρόπος
Extropianism is the transhumanist philosophy that comes from extropy, coined as the opposite of entropy and defined by Max More, one of its early proponents, as ""the extent of a living or organizational system's intelligence, functional order, vitality, energy, life, experience, and capacity and drive for improvement and growth. Its principles are not presented as absolute truth or universal values; instead they are codified and express in attitudes of constant progress: exposition, auto transformation, practical optimism, intelligent technology, open society, self-government, and rational thought. "Describes a pragmatic consilience of transhumanist thought guided by a proactionary approach to human evolution and progress."
Spanish: Extropíanismo
