[edit] BLTC Research

BLTC (Better Living Through Chemistry) is an online non-profit organisation which aims at researching and bringing awareness to the relatively new philosophies of Abolitionism, Paradise Engineering, and Neo-Hedonism. Based in England, BLTC researches and publishes online texts in support of the biochemical and biotechnological methods through which its proponents believe sentient suffering could, and should, be abolished in future generations. The BLTC network also contains information regarding many psychopharmacological methods that have the potential to make contemporary life as pain-less as possible for those currently living. Along with providing information and ideas on the new philosophies of Abolitionism, Paradise Engineering, and Neo-Hedonism the work of BLTC appears to act as a focal point for many supporters of various other well-established philosophies including, but not limited to, Utopianism, Posthumanism and Transhumanism as it provides arguments supporting many common fields of thought running throughout each of these individual schools of thought.

[edit] Research Programs

The research programs to which BLTC subscribes are termed as Abolitionism, Paradise Engineering, and Neo-Hedonism. Abolitionism is concerned with the ethical and moral arguments in favour of removing suffering from sentient life. Paradise Engineering proposes that the future eradication of all sentient suffering, pain and malaise could be best achieved through the utilisation of modern methods of biotechnology such as nanotechnology and genetic engineering. Neo-Hedonism focuses upon the ways in which contemporary day-to-day suffering can be most successfully dealt with through the use of individually tailored psychopharmacology.

[edit] BLTC Network

BLTC consists of a large network of websites, many of which provide information regarding the central areas of contemporary Abolitionist, Neo-Hedonist and Paradise Engineering research, including the combined manifesto of these three research programs - The Hedonistic Imperative - as well as critiques of the most popular arguments used against such utopian perspectives, namely that of the Brave New World polemic. The BLTC network also contains many Neo-Hedonist texts regarding how anybody could attempt to help themselves feel mentally and physically ‘better than well’ ^[1] through developing and maintaining the correct balance of a healthy diet and an individually tailored psychopharmacological regimen. Further still, the BLTC network maintains a knowledge database concerned with many of the most well researched modern compounds and practices utilised for tackling pain and suffering in daily life.
