Libertarianism and Transhumanism – How Liberty and Radical Technological Progress Fit Together
Gennady Stolyarov II
****************
Gennady Stolyarov II, as Chief Executive of the Nevada Transhumanist Party and as of November 17, 2016, the Chairman of the United States Transhumanist Party, discusses the complementarities between libertarian and transhumanist philosophies and objectives, encouraging more libertarians to embrace emerging technologies and an “upwing” perspective on progress, tolerance, and cosmopolitanism. Over time Mr. Stolyarov hopes to be able to do similar outreach to persons of other persuasions – from centrists to non-identitarian conservatives to left-progressives to socialists to apolitical individuals, seeking common ground in pursuit of the improvement of the human condition through emerging technologies.
This presentation was made to the Washoe County Libertarian Party Organizing Convention in Reno, Nevada, on November 20, 2016.

Very informative and impressive presentation. I’m curious about the reception of your presentation from the Libertarian audience. As I listened to the history, the points of similarities with the Libertarian Party values/ platform, and your added viewpoint, I question the need of a separate Transhumanism Party. You provided a compelling presentation that clearly showed the similarities. Since the Libertarian Party is closely aligned, why not broker for the Transhumanism platform be added to this already established political party?
If they merged the two parties I could get behind that
