== Activism ==

RAFT 2035 proposes collaboration and activism around various interim targets which RAFT outlines for achievement by 2025.

The FAQ chapter near the end of RAFT 2035 provides a summary of these interim targets:<ref>[https://transpolitica.org/projects/raft-2035/17-faq/#Towards_2025 Extract from FAQ chapter of RAFT 2035]</ref>

The interim targets fall into three broad categories:

# Demonstrations of tangible progress with new technologies or new solutions – progress that should increasingly change people’s minds about the speed at which yet more progress might be possible
# Clarifications of potential new systems, metrics, or processes, via which greater flourishing can be made available to all, in ways that protect and elevate human values
# Miscellaneous additional milestones en route to human transcendence.

=== Demonstrations ===

In the category “demonstrations of tangible progress with new technologies or new solutions”:

* Demonstrate mid-age rejuvenation of animals with much smaller lifespans than humans (Goal 1)
* Demonstrate long-lasting effectiveness of some of the proposed new “transformational technology” solutions for improved mental wellbeing (Goal 2)
* Demonstrate the effectiveness of at least some elements of edtech, in reducing costs whilst delivering higher quality education (Goal 5)
* Demonstrate “full taste parity” of selected alternatives to slaughtered meat (Goal 11)
* Demonstrate tangible progress in at least one of the smaller fusion projects (Goal 13)

=== Clarifications ===

In the category “clarifications of potential new systems, metrics, or processes, via which greater flourishing can be made available to all”:

* Establish a society-wide understanding of the principles of the longevity dividend, and of the measures that can be taken to quickly reduce the costs of rejuvenation therapies so that everyone can benefit from them (Goal 1)
* Update the legislation which unnecessarily constrains the wise use of some of “transformational technology” solutions – especially legislation covering psychedelic drugs and other psychoactive substances (Goal 2)
* Agree an initial series of “cost of living well” indices (Goal 3)
* Agree the basic elements of a revised social contract in which paid employment loses the prime position it has in present-day society (Goal 3)
* Agree a replacement for the GDP index as the guiding light for evaluating the success of the economy: rather than focusing on increasing the financial value of goods produced and consumed, we need an alternative which better measures the basis for all-round human flourishing (Goal 4) and which fully incorporates factors known as “externalities”, that is the impacts of economic activities which are presently excluded from valuation (Goals 9 and 10)
* Agree the core of a transformed educational syllabus focused on new life opportunities – an education fit for the 2020s and beyond (Goal 5)
* Agree basic principles of the design and operation of systems for “trustable monitoring” (Goal 6)
* Agree basic principles of the design and operation of systems for “international trustable monitoring” which should, among other points, highlight measures to constrain any runaway escalation of adoption of lethal autonomous weapons (Goal 7)
* Establish a commitment from a majority of the countries in the United Nations to an updated version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which takes fully into account the remarkable transformational nature of the technologies highlighted in RAFT (Goal 7)
* Reach a general understanding of the economic case for open borders, and the types of constraints that need to be applied so that the benefits significantly outweigh the drawbacks (Goal 8)
* Agree a statement of the “core values of all UK residents”, highlighting those features of law and practice which are regarded as key to harmony and flourishing within the UK, and also making it clear which elements of human and transhuman variation and diversity should be accepted or even encouraged – and which elements of diversity should be resisted (Goal 8)
* Obtain majority public support for the design of a system to replace first past the post election (Goal 14)
* Agree an understanding of the actual purpose of politicians, including the key role of the public sector in a mixed economy, and also including awareness of the role of industrial strategy (Goal 14)
* Reach an agreement on limits on the roles that can be played by commercially owned AI, that recognises the potential large contribution that could be made by commercially owned software, without being naive about the risks (Goal 15)
* Reach an agreement on the principles of “ethical AI”: what are the features which an AI could be built to include, but which will need to be excluded or curtailed, for the sake of true human flourishing? (Goal 15)

=== Miscellaneous milestones ===

And in the category “miscellaneous additional milestones en route to human transcendence”:

* Establish a reliable, respected source of information about the true health benefits and risks of different types of diet and different kinds of accommodation (Goal 4) and about the true environmental benefits and risks of different types of human actions (Goals 9 and 10)
* Advance practical initiatives to understand and reduce particular types of crime, starting with the types of crime (such as violent crime) that have the biggest negative impact on people’s lives (Goal 6)
* Clarify the range of health benefits from alternatives to slaughtered meat, bearing in mind that consumption of meat has been linked to many diseases (Goal 11)
* Humans will walk on the Moon again, helping humanity to rediscover a sense of cosmic delight, with these new visitors to our nearest cosmic neighbour including women as well as men, and people from multiple different nationalities (Goal 12)
* A round trip mission to Mars will be underway, using robots, to collect rock samples and then return them to Earth (Goal 12)
* Complete the construction of ITER facilities, as per its current committed schedule, without any further delays (Goal 13).
