Timothy Leary — 'genetic elites', space migration, and the caste passage
playerNations & Geopolitics · Biotech & Transhumanism
The psychedelic prophet wrote about 'genetic elites' leaving Earth for space.
Who they are
Timothy Leary, in books from 1974 to 1979[1].
What they do
He links psychedelic 'evolution', selection and space migration in one author.
How it works
He wrote of selecting 'the strongest, most viable, superior stock' for his space colony — and in the same book, 'No group, class, creed or race will be excluded.' In 1979 he wrote 'To say that Europeans are feudal-insectoid, that Africans are tribal-primates… is not to deny the ecological unity of all life on this planet.'
Why it matters
His elitism is documented in his own words, and so is his claim that it excluded no race.
The engine's record — word for word
[
Report #196] **In plain terms:** the psychedelic evangelist who, in the 1970s, wrote of selecting 'superior stock' for space migration and sorted humanity into evolutionary castes.
His own words. Terra II (1974): 'select the strongest, most viable, superior stock from each species of life and from each human group' (p. 58); 'We are consciously assembling the "elite" of humanity … It is a democratic "elite."' (p. 90); 'It cannot be denied that Terra II is an elite of elites … No group, class, creed or race will be excluded.' (p. 126). Neuropolitics (1977): 'Migration from the earth is the next step in evolution'; 'If humanity is to migrate in space and to extend the life span we must get smarter, fast.' Exo-Psychology (1977) p. 8: 'Life is not designed to remain on the planet of birth, but to migrate throughout the galaxy'. The Intelligence Agents (1979): '(There is no chance that China or the Soviet Union will offer courses on genetic elites.)' (p. 143, beside 'Voluntary Civilian Space Migration'); 'To say that Europeans are feudal-insectoid, that Africans are tribal-primates, that Japanese are techno-insectoid, is not to deny the ecological unity of all life on this planet' (p. 146); 'Out-Caste elites' (p. 104). CORRECTION to circulating accounts: the caste and 'genetic elites' lines are from The Intelligence Agents, not Neuropolitics. Joins the psychedelic records (psychedelic_eo_2026_04_18, atai_compass_psychedelic_capital) and the space-body record (space_adapted_genome). Held.
