Transhumanism

The Posthuman

«Humanity is still a work in progress.»

Wants to use science and technology to overcome the biological limits of human beings: disease, aging and even death.

In the test it shows up as a «closeness» on its issues, not as a main label: it is a single-issue movement.

In short

On the traditional scale, this ideology sits in the libertarian center camp. The clearest positions are on technology: strongly towards “acceleration”; religion: strongly towards “secularism”; society: strongly towards “progress”; sovereignty: strongly towards “integration”. On devolution it stays balanced. Among the other ideologies, the closest is radical liberalism (88%).
