I don't like it that the authors borrow concepts from libertarianism and Maslow's psychology of self - two bad ideologies that should die with the Millennial Saeculum. But I'm all for the basic idea I stated in the OP.

Is Extropianism more civic or prophetic?

"The idea that the ultimate good is complexity, vitality and capacity for experience. We should as individuals and as society
always strive to protect and expand Mind in all its forms."


Is Extropianism more civic or prophetic? I don't know. As you summarize it there, it seems fine.

I am fine with Maslow but not libertarianism. As you have described world views you recommend in the past, I like parts of them and not other parts.

I don't think any world view for the future is viable that keeps too much of the worldviews dominant before the sixties awakening, and only if they express the sixties awakening to some degree, especially the preference for spirit over matter, are they viable for the future.

"Mind" if another word for consciousness is a valid basis for a worldview for the future. If it means intellect, then it is not viable enough. I have expressed my views before to you.

As I say, I want a worldview that balances all our faculties and excludes none. Does Extropianism do this? Not if you exclude spirituality and psychism as "medieval and outdated"

What do you think of the esoteric view I posted? Did you read the article?
