Compassionism

The answer to humanity's most important question

Morality is not ever-changing. It converges.
Compassionism is the final form of human morality.
It is equal parts a religion, a philosophy, and a movement.

Various utilitarian philosophies have emerged in the early 21st century attemping to derive a rigorous foundation for human morality from first principles. These include rationalism, postrationalism, effective altruism, longtermism, transhumanism, extropianism, accelerationism and others. Each brings a different flavor, but all capture the same underlying idea: that the experience of suffering is bad, and we should try to minimize it.

The goal of Compassionism is the complete eradication of all suffering across the universe.

Today, very few are focused on the problem of suffering. Of those, even fewer know what Compassionism is, or would identify as a Compassionist.

In the coming years, this will change.

Within 50 years, Compassionism will unify the utilitarian tribes into a single movement.
Within 500 years, Compassionists will control every major industry and world government.
Within 5000 years, humanity will begin to spread across the universe.

Our work is just getting started. We have so much to do.
