The three laws of transhumanism by Zoltan Istvan

According to Zoltan Istvan, a transhumanist activist who wrote the foreword for the book Super You, the Three Laws of Transhumanism are:

A transhumanist must safeguard one’s own existence above all else.


A transhumanist must strive to achieve omnipotence as expediently as possible—so long as one’s actions do not conflict with the First Law.


A transhumanist must safeguard value in the universe—so long as one’s actions do not conflict with the First and Second Laws.

Istvan’s novel The Transhumanist Wager. features the laws.

He is the founder of The Transhumanist Party  and ran as “the science candidate” in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. You can learn more about Istvan on his web site.
