thee extropian principles
a transhumanist declaration

Perpetual Progress -- Seeking more intelligence, wisdom, and effectiveness, an indefinite lifespan, and the removal of political, cultural, biological, and psychological limits to self-actualization and self-realization. Perpetually overcoming constraints on our progress and possibilities. Expanding into the universe and advancing without end.

Self-Transformation -- Affirming continual moral, intellectual, and physical self-improvement, through critical and creative thinking, personal responsibility, and experimentation. Seeking biological and neurological augmentation along with emotional and psychological refinement.

Practical Optimism -- Fueling action with positive expectations. Adopting a rational, action-based optimism, in place of both blind faith and stagnant pessimism.

Intelligent Technology -- Applying science and technology creatively to transcend "natural" limits imposed by our biological heritage, culture, and environment. Seeing technology not as an end in itself but as an effective means towards the improvement of life.

Open Society -- Supporting social orders that foster freedom of speech, freedom of action, and experimentation. Opposing authoritarian social control and favoring the rule of law and decentralization of power. Preferring bargaining over battling, and exchange over compulsion. Openness to improvement rather than a static utopia.

Self-Direction -- Seeking independent thinking, individual freedom, personal responsibility, self-direction, self-esteem, and respect for others.

Rational Thinking -- Favoring reason over blind faith and questioning over dogma. Remaining open to challenges to our beliefs and practices in pursuit of perpetual improvement. Welcoming criticism of our existing beliefs while being open to new ideas.

kurzweil said:
"An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential"
then show many graphs on different exponential growth trends, from transistor size to human life expectancy. As Damien Broderick remarked, the curve on graph like these goes upward into a "spike".
http://www.geocities.com/picturesref/sing3.gif
every bound double the original value in half the time.


I reckon as time pass we have to "reframe" this info to a scale that is useful (ex: it is more useful to say you wanna buy a 80 gig hard drive than whatevr it's equivalent in bits is) but this got me thinking that yeah, maybe a time will come when even if augmented, the pace of the multiplicity of technological and cultural accelerating changes will become so fast that we won't be able to frame and reframe this information fast enough make sense of it: and yeah that would be the singularity point or the Spike or whatever: the exact opposite of a flatline. immediate exponential growth.
I don't see it as wank, rather as it is: a useful and interesting hypothesis.

singularity studies don't have enough potent tools yet for me to make a prediction that I would feel confident about. Humans are pretty adaptable so a singularity could happen in a distant future and it might be subtle kinda, it might happen as jarvis said:
"but tomorrow you will wake up to find that your whole life has changed.
Although nothing looks different a revolution took place"

Dan I am very interested by what you are saying, could you elaborate please?
