Anarcho-Transhumanism 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 the bodies we were born with might impose, but free to shape the world around us and deepen the potential of our connections to one another through it.

i believe that the ideal society can only be achieved by ending agriculture and that the best way to do this is by becoming autotrophs. we can only have a truly horizontal society when we no longer have to compete for food.
Currently, most of us know that overpopulation isn’t really an issue, because of the demographic transition and how developed countries have an equal birth or death rate. However, if people get the ability to be immortal through anti-aging technology, all of a sudden the population is going to keep on increasing, and we know that earth does not have an infinite carrying capacity.
I mean, most major civilizations so far have contributed to hierarchical systems, but I would love to see some antrans thoughts on this!
Firstly, yes if you have an aversion to anime - I understand. Problematic, bad takes can abound in the medium. However, this one is something I suggest watching for the technological creativity.

The way it dives right into an Augmented Reality world and how all of that is executed and protrayed, is very interesting, and I think anarchotranshumanist-minded folk could gain a lot to think about regarding this.I'm sure if you've already imagined great feats of Augmented Reality and its potential, then you'll see all kind of ideas you may have had, yourself. This one is definitely very "playful" about it, yet also serious.
I thought this idea on Twitter that mirrors something I found on Wikipedia which is the belief in a posthuman God, that we should create beings that are so beyond human beings that they seem to be in possession of divine qualities. To be honest, I don't fully know what constitutes divinity in the first place, but the idea of being able to alter reality more easily and with fewer steps to create the kind of world we want to experience and more easily solve problems seems like a solid idea to me.
What do you think?
To anyone reading this, please try your best to either find the aliens or activate the robots (AI) because the primitive humans will always choose totalitarianism over liberty.
Has anyone ever met another anarchist transhumanist in the world? Or even flying the blue black at a protest?
Except William Gillis... Of course..
