Transhumanism on the 12 Axes

Transhumanism holds that the human condition can and should be improved through technology: genetic engineering, life extension, brain and computer interfaces, cognitive enhancement and possibly artificial intelligence. Julian Huxley used the word in 1957, and the modern movement took shape from the 1980s with writers such as FM-2030, Max More, Nick Bostrom and the World Transhumanist Association (now Humanity+). Politically it ranges widely, but most transhumanists stress morphological freedom, the right to modify one's own body and mind. Compared with Technocracy, it is about what individuals may become, not about who governs. Compared with Liberalism, it pushes much harder on technology and treats bioconservative caution as an obstacle rather than a reasonable limit.

• Progressivism 81%Progressivism is a political outlook that seeks social reform through government action, expanding civil rights, protecting minorities and using science and evidence to improve society.
• Social Liberalism 81%Social liberalism holds that individual freedom requires real opportunity, so it pairs a market economy and civil liberties with public education, healthcare and social insurance.
• Social Democracy 72%Social democracy accepts a market economy and parliamentary democracy but uses taxes, strong unions, regulation and a broad welfare state to reduce inequality and protect workers.
• Social Libertarianism 72%Social libertarianism puts personal and civil freedom first, opposing state control of private life, while accepting some public services and economic fairness measures.
