Extropy
Origin: Lat.extra, tropos, Gr. τρόπος
The extent of a living or organizational system's intelligence, functional order, vitality, energy, life, experience, and capacity and drive for improvement and growth. A techno-utopia in is an ideal community, in which laws, government, and social conditions are solely operating for the benefit and well-being of all its inhabitants, set in the near- or far-future, when advanced science and technology will allow these ideal living standards to exist; for example, the absence of death and suffering; changes in human nature and the human condition. In place of the static perfection of a utopia, extropian transhumanists envision an "extropia", an open, evolving society allowing individuals and voluntary groupings to form the institutions and social forms they prefer.
Spanish: Extropía
