Today, transhumans understand that we have biological limitations and that by intelligent planning we will be able to extend our lives. However, extropian transhumans see our lives as a work in progress as we evolve. The recurrent idea in Extropic Art is that because the tools of our trade are changing so rapidly, as I have stated already in the section on Transhuman History, we must keep up with these changes. We do not have to be driven into a mad frenzy with relentless changes and expense of such changes, but we must at least have an understanding of where it is going. It is perfectly clear that the new tools are heading in the direction of refining and designing and prolonging life.
Immortality is on the drawing board.
Another aspect of Extropic Art that is often questioned is its optimism. I'd rather permeate my mind with a positive outlook and implement the skill of critical thinking. The Art Genre Home page All rights reserved.
