Blueprint for a Spacefaring Civilization:
The Science of Volition
The science of volition is a revolutionary approach to the social domain that provides insights into how to build a future that prioritizes peace, freedom, and progress. Blueprint explores and explains the following key points:
- Volitional Science: This new science, originally developed by Andrew Galambos, is based on the idea that humans are “volitional beings” capable of reason and purposeful action, with free will and the ability to make choices. It draws on the intellectual traditions of physical science, classical liberalism, and Austrian economics.
- Precise Definitions: Volition science is built on a foundation of precise definitions. Key terms such as property, society, ownership, state, freedom, and coercion are defined in a semantically concise way. This ensures that communication about volitional science is unambiguous.
- The Critical Juncture: This is the point in history when humanity developed the physical science to destroy itself with nuclear weapons, but not the social science to prevent it. Surviving this juncture requires a new understanding of social order.
- Absolute Morality. The idea is that all human beings have certain inalienable rights. These include the right to life, liberty, and property. Volitional science argues that a just society is one in which these rights are protected.
- Property Rights: Blueprint emphasizes the importance of property rights, including a new theory of compensation for intellectual property. It argues that recognizing and protecting intellectual property is key to fostering innovation and progress.
- The Role of Markets: Markets are seen as the only social system capable of open-ended growth. Blueprint argues that free markets, driven by voluntary interactions, are essential for technological advancement and the creation of a spacefaring civilization.
- The Fallacy of the State: Political states are inherently coercive and ultimately fail to achieve their intended goals. Blueprint presents an alternative based on noncoercive governance and entrepreneurial solutions to social problems.
Blueprint shows the way to a future in which humanity can overcome the limitations of political states and create a free, prosperous civilization that can expand into space.

This book introduces the exciting and powerful first principles of volitional science to the builders of the world: scientists, technologists, and entrepreneurs. I believe, as a student of volitional science for 50 years, that applying these principles in their work will not only lead to a flourishing of humanity beyond all current visualizations, with boundless opportunities for tangible and intangible profit, but will ensure the survival of our species and its consciousness.”
