Primers

If you are new here, read the primers in order. They build on one another, beginning with a plain definition, moving through the Association’s purpose and the two declarations that anchor it, then the pattern of accelerating change, and ending with the role of Christ at the center of it all.

1. What Is Mormon Transhumanism? Science and technology as divine tools for becoming more like God and fulfilling humanity’s spiritual potential.
2. The Purpose of Mormon Transhumanism. Why the Association exists: to promote the Mormon Transhumanist Affirmation, its single constitutional purpose.
3. Humanity+ and the Transhumanist Declaration. The second of our two founding documents, presented in full, locating us within the broader movement.
4. Exponential Change. Why technological development follows an accelerating curve, and how Mormon prophecy anticipates it.
5. Exponential Technological Trends and Humanity’s Future. Where those trends point: an accelerating path toward a communal, compassionate, Christlike superhumanity.
6. A Brief History of Religious Transhumanism. Our roots, from theosis and Fyodorov’s Cosmism to Joseph Smith’s proto-transhumanist theology.
7. The Role of Christ in Transhumanism. Christ as savior, exemplar, and collaborator: participatory atonement, grace and works together, the Body of Christ as the shape of a cooperative future.
