From Extropia
Overview
The Independent Technocratic City-State of Extropia is an…
- exemplar of the future we want, today, where technology is used exuberantly in the service of beauty and fun,
- exaltation of exquisite design, where exotic experimentation is ever expected,
- exhilarating haven for creative expression – in architecture, social relations, sexuality, artistic and technological media,
- exclusive shelter from the mass and the crass, with the best technical and social protections from griefing, harassment and vulgarity,
- execration of extinct ideas and aesthetics, exemplified by consumerism, control and post-apocalyptic nihilism, and an
- experiential community of collaboration and cooperation, with events and exhibitions to expand our social networks and explore the power of creative synthesis.
Extropia is a community of Second Life residents sharing a common desire to build a positive, beautiful, empowering future for all. Unlike other land options, Extropia is a place where residents are encouraged to work and play together, and to govern their own affairs to the greatest extent possible.
The Board of Directors of Extropia espouses no ideology beyond a belief that humanity’s future can be improved through its own ingenuity. Extropia actively networks with other persons, organizations and communities in Second Life which share that belief.
We welcome everyone to visit us, to speak with members of the Board, the Citizenry or the wider Extropia community. We’re more than happy to answer any questions, but we do require that an atmosphere of civility be maintained.
The views and affiliations Citizens of Extropia. members of the wider Extropia community, and of the communities with which Extropia maintains relations do not necessarily reflect the views or affiliations of the Board, as individuals or as the managing entity of Extropia.
