Principles:

1. Deeply grasp what creates the conditions for meaningful existence

2. Dramatically heighten the accessibility, breadth, and depth of positive conscious experiences

3. Reduce the quantity of extreme suffering, and eventually eliminate unnecessary suffering and pain

4. Understand the mind, especially the nature of joy and suffering

5. Understand the computational properties of consciousness

6. Generate empirically testable theories of consciousness

7. Leverage tools from philosophy, neuroscience, and neurotechnology to test the theories we develop

8. Foster a culture compatible with the rational and judicious exploration of the state-space of consciousness

9. Unify and clarify neuroscience, phenomenology, and therapy to build practical mental health technologies that radically improve lives

10. Eventually map out the full range of possible conscious experiences
