They seek to free the law from this confining assumption as much as possible and see the law more as a fluid ground of action for ordering the affairs of individuals on a consensual basis. Individual responsibility is the necessary corollary of the extropian stress on individual liberty. Tolerance and personal privacy are naturally very high values in extropian legal thinking. Thus extropians believe that strong encryption and a completely free Internet are basic foundations of the world they seek to build. Extropian legal thinkers also seek to apply the value of intelligent technology to legal systems.
Extropian lawyers stay on the cutting edge of technology in the practice of law.
Extropians foresee many new challenges to the use of law as a tool for ordering the lives of free individuals. Technologies like molecular nanotechnology, neural enhancements and artificial intelligence and new social environments, such as those which are developing on the Internet and which will come to be in new environments in outer space and elsewhere all present profound questions for extropian legal thinkers. Extropians embrace these legal challenges as free individuals applying principles of rational reciprocity. The spiral mark, ExI, and Extropy are trademarks of Extropy Institute.
