🧬 transhumanists

Human Progress. Quantified.

---

“The intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally improving the human condition through applied reason, especially by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.”

📖 The Transhumanist FAQ — Humanity+, formerly the World Transhumanist Association

We are an open, independent watchtower on the breakthroughs that shape the human condition. Around eighty sources — Nature, Science, arXiv, IEEE Spectrum, Reuters, NVD, ISW — are scraped every six hours, scored against a fixed rubric, and pinned to the place they happened. Free, no login, no paywall.

🚀 Come and look at the map

🌐 transhumanists.github.io

One page, no login, no paywall:

What you will find	Why it is worth a visit
🗺 Interactive world map	Every record pinned to the place it happened — a fusion lab in Livermore, a launch complex in Boca Chica
🏆 Category leaderboards	Who currently holds each record, how big it is, and when it landed
📈 Activity timeline	A rolling 30-day view of which fields are accelerating
🔍 Per-category drill-down	Ten tracked subcategories per vertical, with sources
⚡ Live heartbeat	The dashboard refreshes itself — the pipeline runs every 6 hours

The dashboard is the front door. The map, the data and the leaderboards live at transhumanists.github.io.

🗂 The seven verticals

#	Vertical	What we watch	Current record holder
🧬	Biotechnology	Gene editing, implants, microscopy, longevity, synthetic biology, neuroscience	CRISPR in-vivo editing efficiency — 94.2% · Broad Institute
🧠	Computing & AGI	Frontier benchmarks, agentic AI, GPU efficiency, inference cost	MMLU — 94.7% · OpenAI
⚛️	Quantum Physics	Qubit counts, error correction, time crystals, networking	4,158 physical qubits · IBM Condor 2
⚡	Renewable Energy	Fusion, solar efficiency, battery density, wind, storage	Fusion gain Q = 17.6 · NIF, Livermore
🛡️	Cybersecurity	Exploits, mitigations, encryption, threat intel, zero-days	Highest active CVSS 10.0 CRITICAL · NVD / CISA
🚀	Spaceflight & Aeronautics	Launch, payload, deep space, hypersonics, reusability	156 t to LEO · SpaceX
🌍	Military & Defense	Range, fleet movements, contracts, air defense, naval, cyber ops	NATO rapid reaction force — 300,000 personnel

🔬 How the map stays honest

80+ RSS feeds → LLM scorer → milestones.json → world map + daily digest
                     ↑
            self-healing source checker

Every 6 hours a GitHub Action runs:

1. scrapers/rss_fetcher.py — pulls 80+ sources (Nature, Science, arXiv, IEEE Spectrum, Phys.org, Reuters, SpaceNews, The Hacker News, Bellingcat, ISW, NATO, CISA …)
2. llm/score_milestone.py — sends titles and summaries to a JSON-mode LLM and extracts a structured {category, subcategory, value, unit, source_url, geolocation}
3. self_healer/source_checker.py — validates every feed URL, drops dead ones, finds replacements
4. github/dashboard_updater.py — regenerates milestones.json, events.json and activity.json, then commits
5. social/facebook_poster.py — posts the daily digest to facebook.com/transhumanistsBE

Every claim on the map keeps its source and its date. If the source cannot be reached, the record leaves the map. No score without a citation.

🤝 Take part

This is a movement, not a committee. There is room for you whether you are a researcher, a scroller, a skeptic or a builder.

• 📣 Spotted a record we missed? Open an issue with the source, the category, the value + unit, and the date. That is the whole checklist.
• 🔧 Got a feed we should be reading? Add it — open an issue on apis or send a PR.
• 💬 Want to argue about the map? Open an issue on milestones — that is where corrections and arguments live, and every tracker below is open too.
• 🔭 Just want the signal? Follow the daily digest on Facebook, or bookmark transhumanists.github.io and come back when a vertical moves.
• 💖 Want to pay for the scrapers? The 6-hourly pipeline runs on LLM API and hosting costs — sponsor it.

Our ground rules, borrowed from The Transhumanist Declaration: autonomy and wide personal choice over how you enable your life · the well-being of all sentience · progress pursued with responsibility · reduction of existential risk as an urgent priority. Curiosity, not certainty, is the entry fee.
