Selected reflections
David Pearce is a British philosopher.[1] He promotes the idea that there exists a strong ethical imperative for humans to work towards the abolition ofsuffering in all sentient life. His book-length internet manifesto The Hedonistic Imperative[2] outlines how technologies such as genetic engineering,nanotechnology, pharmacology, and neurosurgery could potentially converge to eliminate all forms of unpleasant experience among human and non-human animals, replacing suffering with gradients of well-being, a project he refers to as "paradise engineering".[3] A transhumanist and a vegan,[4]Pearce believes that we (or future evolutions of humans) have a responsibility not only to avoid cruelty to animals within human society but also to redesign the global ecosystem so that animals do not suffer in the wild.[5]
Pearce co-founded Humanity+, then known as the World Transhumanist Association, and is a prominent figure in the transhumanism movement, inspiring a strain of transhumanism based on paradise engineering and ending suffering.[6][7][8]
