Anarcho-transhumanism is an adaptation of anarchist ideals (anti-hierarchy, anti-repression, anti-restriction) to the tenets of the Transhumanist movement in cultural, intellectual and political spheres.
It seeks for the liberation of humanity from repression and restrictions through the technological and scientific enhancement of humanity and human actions. Anarcho-transhumanism.com spells it out in the following:
- Political Freedom: Against the tyranny of government.
- Economic Freedom: Against the tyranny of capitalism.
- Biological Freedom: Against the tyranny of genes.
It is the recognition that social liberty is inherently bound up with material liberty, and that freedom is ultimately a matter of expanding our capacity and opportunities to engage with the world around us. It is the realization that our resistance against those social forces that would subjugate and limit us is but part of a spectrum of efforts to expand human agency -- to facilitate our inquiry and creativity. This means not just being free from the arbitrary limitations our bodies might impose, but free to shape the world around us and deepen the potential of our connections to one another through it.
