>Abstract: This paper combines the good regulator theorem with the law of requisite variety and **seven other requisites** that are necessary and sufficient for a cybernetic regulator **to be effective and ethical**. The ethical regulator theorem provides a basis for systematically evaluating and improving the adequacy of existing or proposed designs for systems that make decisions that can have ethical consequences; regardless of whether the regulators are humans, machines, cyberanthropic hybrids, organizations, or government institutions. The theorem is used to define an ethical design process that has potentially far-reaching implications for society. A **six-level framework** is proposed for **classifying cybernetic and superintelligent systems**, which highlights the existence of a possibility-space bifurcation in our future time-line. The **implementation of “super-ethical” systems** is identified as an urgent imperative for humanity to avoid the danger that superintelligent machines might lead to a technological dystopia. It is proposed to define third-order cybernetics as the **cybernetics of ethical systems**. Concrete actions, a grand challenge, and a vision of a super-ethical society are proposed to **help steer the future of the human race** and our wonderful planet towards a realistically achievable minimum viable cyberanthropic utopia.
