The principles that guide our work and community
The Exitus Acta Probat is guided by these fundamental values:
We believe in the inherent worth of each person and their capacity for growth. We advance technologies and practices that enhance human potential rather than diminish human relevance. We recognize that technological progress must serve human flourishing.
We commit to rigorous standards of truth and evidence in all discussions. We acknowledge the limitations of our knowledge and approach complex questions with appropriate humility. We value curiosity, open inquiry, and the courage to revise our views in light of new information.
We seek to create pathways for broader societal benefit from technological advancement. We recognize that the most valuable innovations improve lives across diverse populations. We actively work to share insights and opportunities beyond privileged circles.
We resist both uncritical techno-utopianism and reactionary technological pessimism. We approach emerging technologies with nuanced understanding of both their constructive potential and their risks. We maintain historical awareness while engaging with future possibilities.
We believe breakthrough progress emerges from the intersection of diverse perspectives. We cultivate environments where specialists can transcend disciplinary boundaries. We value both individual creativity and collective intelligence.
We consider the ethical implications and potential consequences of all collective initiatives. We approach technological development with awareness of its impacts on future generations. We measure success not only by what we achieve but by how our work shapes broader technological trajectories.
