What is an Upwinger?
The name is taken from the title of an early transhumanist work by F.M. Esfandiary, UpWingers: A Futurist Manifesto. According to the work:
The UpWing philosophy is a visionary new thrust beyond Right and Left-wing, beyond conservative and conventional radical. Beyond all our age-old philosophies and ideologies. We UpWingers want to facilitate the flow to the emerging post-industrial world.
We also want to accelerate humanity’s thrust to the next stage in evolution.
Specifically we want to marshal humanity’s genius to overcome our supreme tragedies - aging and death.

We UpWingers do not belong to any political parties - we do not run for office, we do not seek power. We are a long-range movement with two principal functions:
First. We are catalysts. We want to inform, stimulate, uplift. Second. We are activists. We want to launch projects to achieve our goals.
We UpWingers are resigned to nothing. We consider no human problems irreversible — no goals unattainable. For the first time in history we have the ability, the resources, the genius to resolve ALL our age-old problems. Attain ALL our boldest visions.
We need a new set of priorities, intelligent planning, commitment, vision. With these we can now accomplish anything.
Optimism - Abundance - Universalism - Immortality
