We want to live, discover, and change. By developing consciousness and extending its capabilities through technology, we open up new ways of existing. We choose a future in which everyone can determine what happens to their own body, preserve independent thought, and continue their own story.
We direct knowledge and technology toward overcoming involuntary mortality, disease, and suffering. Our goal is cybernetic immortality: the ability to continue living while preserving consciousness, memory, and autonomy. We investigate paths toward this goal and value time for creativity, relationships, discovery, and the meanings each of us chooses.
We recognize everyone's right to independently choose goals, make decisions, and act while preserving their own experience and individuality. We support equal rights regardless of sex, gender, origin, bodily characteristics, or degree of modification. We seek to expand access to technology and consider the interests of sentient beings, including possible future forms of consciousness.
We recognize everyone's right to independently choose the form and structure of their own body: to preserve, restore, augment, and transform it. Morphological freedom includes consent to modifications, the right to refuse them, and access to understandable information about their consequences. We support different bodily forms and everyone's right to choose which changes they need and when to make them.
We develop attention, understanding, imagination, and the ability to choose consciously. Cognitive liberty is the right to explore and change the capacities and states of one's own consciousness, including altered states. Everyone chooses what experiences they seek and how to attain them. We protect the privacy of thoughts and neural data, independence of belief, and consent to interventions affecting consciousness.
We respect the lives and bodily integrity of others and voluntary agreements. We reject aggression and coercion, support defense against aggression, and seek peaceful conflict resolution. Interventions in another's body, brain, or neural devices require consent. Freedom to transform oneself goes together with responsibility for one's actions and their consequences for others.
We study consciousness and the world, test ideas through experience, and revise conclusions in light of new evidence. We investigate the possibilities, effects, and risks of different states of consciousness. As we change the body and brain, we research how to preserve continuity in our own experience of life. We pay particular attention to safety and the reliability of systems on which life depends. We openly communicate achieved results and questions that remain unresolved.
We bring together knowledge, work, and resources to pursue goals that expand opportunities for everyone. Collective intelligence develops through participants' informed consent and respect for their autonomy. We support clear rules and the ability to reconsider participation and leave associations. Leaving an association must preserve access to maintenance for implants and systems on which the participant's life depends.
We seek to expand the space for life and discovery: to develop a cybernetic civilization, build sustainable infrastructure, and explore the Universe, its origins, and its future. We consider the consequences for ecosystems, future generations, and new forms of consciousness. We are ready to change our paths as discoveries emerge, preserving freedom, curiosity, and respect for life.
