What would a governance framework look like for a humanity that seeks to achieve long-term species survival – including global peace, nuclear disarmament, a transition to automation that benefits humanity, the settlement of space, and respect for other sentient life forms? On Sunday, June 21, 2026, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites François Joinneau to discuss his concept of the Atlantic Union, a proposed democratic federation and constitutional framework intended to strengthen cooperation among Atlantic nations while safeguarding human dignity, fundamental rights, and long-term civilizational resilience. Drawing on the principles set forth in his Atlantic Constitution, Joinneau envisions a union founded on the recognition of dignity as arising from the capacity to hold a perspective on existence, extending moral and legal consideration not only to all human beings but also to sentient animals, advanced artificial intelligences, and potentially extraterrestrial intelligences. The proposed system includes guarantees of basic survival needs, protections against democratic backsliding, transparent pathways to membership, institutions devoted to the preservation of knowledge and critical infrastructure, and a long-term commitment to mitigating existential risks and expanding humanity’s presence beyond Earth, with the aim of creating a resilient and ethically grounded civilization for future generations.Read the documents of the Atlantic Union – its Constitution and Normative Convergence Treaties – at seaquatoria.org/2026/06/atlantic-union.Join the U.S. Transhumanist Party for free, no matter where you reside: transhumanist-party.org/membership#USTranshumanistParty #VirtualEnlightenmentSalon #AtlanticUnion #AtlanticConstitution #FutureOfHumanity #WorldPeace #NuclearDisarmament #Governance #Transhumanism #TranshumanistPolitics #USTP ...

U.S. Transhumanist Party Congratulates Pete Karas on Securing Ballot Access for Wisconsin Secretary of State CampaignRead our full press release here: transhumanist-party.org/2026/06/21/pete-karas-ballot-access/June 21, 2026 – The United States Transhumanist Party (USTP) congratulates Pete Karas, the Green Party candidate for Wisconsin Secretary of State and an officially endorsed USTP candidate, on successfully securing his place on the November 2026 ballot after defeating a partisan challenge designed to remove him from contention.In early June 2026, Gregory Walz-Chojnacki, a Democratic Party affiliate, filed a challenge with the Wisconsin Elections Commission seeking to invalidate all 2,937 voter signatures collected by the Karas campaign—well above the 2,000 signatures required for ballot access. The challenge, pursued through the Milwaukee law firm Halling & Cayo, S.C., alleged technical issues with circulator residency and signature clarity but did not claim any signatures were fraudulent. The effort followed a pattern of similar Democratic-backed attempts to limit third-party ballot access in Wisconsin, including prior actions against Green Party candidates.The Karas campaign responded forcefully by retaining legal counsel, submitting sworn affidavits from more than a dozen circulators statewide affirming full compliance with Wisconsin law, and presenting comprehensive legal arguments. The challenge ultimately collapsed when the law firm withdrew its effort in defeat, confirming Pete Karas’s ballot access.“The U.S. Transhumanist Party is well-aware of efforts by the Democratic Party to knock challengers off of the ballots in states where independent candidates and minor political parties seek to offer genuine alternatives to the Duopoly.” noted Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman of the United States Transhumanist Party. “In 2021, our own endorsed candidate for Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Jennifer Huse, faced a similar ballot-access challenge by a representative of the Camden Democratic Party political machine, who was disguised as an independent but filed to challenge Jennifer Huse’s petition signatures to disqualify a true independent candidate. The New Jersey Secretary of State’s Office, fortunately, saw through the challenge as being what it was – a partisan attempt to eliminate a competitor – and upheld the vast majority of Huse’s petition signatures. The U.S. Transhumanist Party now congratulates Pete Karas, whose candidacy it proudly endorses, for overcoming yet another illegitimate ploy of depriving voters of real choices. We hope that the people of Wisconsin seize the opportunity to elect a person of integrity, who can seriously undermine the Duopoly’s dominance at last.”Pete Karas appeared as the featured guest at the USTP Virtual Enlightenment Salon on March 29, 2026, where he outlined his commitment to government adoption of innovation and technology to enhance democratic participation, information access, and transparency. His platform calls for modernizing government systems, promoting open debates, and implementing reforms that reduce barriers for independent and third-party candidates. Following a member vote held April 15–19, 2026, the USTP formally endorsed his candidacy on April 22, 2026, recognizing strong alignment with core transhumanist principles of reason, technological progress, individual liberty, and expanding voter choice beyond the two-party system.The U.S. Transhumanist Party commends Pete Karas and his campaign team for their determined defense of democratic access and urges Wisconsin voters to support candidates who offer substantive alternatives to the political Duopoly.Visit the Pete Karas for Wisconsin Secretary of State campaign page. ...

U.S. Transhumanist Party Mourns the Death of Jim Rutt (1953-2026), Previous Virtual Enlightenment Salon Guesttranshumanist-party.org/2026/06/09/ustp-mourns-jim-rutt/June 8, 2026 – The U.S. Transhumanist Party (USTP) mourns the death of James “Jim” Patrick Rutt (December 11, 1953 – May 27, 2026), a pioneering technologist, complexity scientist, and profound thinker whose contributions to the digital world and the study of human systems left an indelible mark on our era.As the former CEO of Network Solutions and Chairman of the Santa Fe Institute, Jim Rutt was a central figure in the Game B community, seeking a new "social operating system" for humanity. Unfortunately, Jim died at the age of 72, while still at the peak of his intellectual powers and with ample abilities to contribute to the world.The USTP was honored to host Jim Rutt for a Virtual Enlightenment Salon on March 15, 2021 –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzteRy9W42k – where he engaged in a wide-ranging dialogue with our officers on the future of humankind. This conversation highlighted the significant areas of alignment between Rutt’s ideas and the U.S. Transhumanist Party Platform. Jim Rutt was a passionate advocate for intellectual freedom and a founding board member of the MIT Free Speech Alliance, reflecting a staunch support of free speech that mirrors the USTP’s opposition to all forms of censorship. Furthermore, Jim shared our vision of a spacefaring civilization; he personally envisioned "colonizing the galaxy" and bringing the universe to life, an ultimate safeguard for sentience that aligns with Section XVII of our platform.Read our full statement: transhumanist-party.org/2026/06/09/ustp-mourns-jim-rutt/#USTranshumanistParty #JimRutt #GameB ...

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, at 11 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Stephen Martin to discuss an effort to achieve guarantees from federal government agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that they will use their enforcement discretion to not punish or prosecute medical providers and manufacturers who utilize State Right to Try laws to provide innovative, potentially life-saving treatments to patients, when those treatments have not yet passed the full FDA review process.Watch this Virtual Enlightenment Salon on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/live/sqFtwfXKE8gMembers of the public will be able to post questions and comments in the live YouTube chat. Stephen Martin advocates for, and gets patients treatment using, State laws that enable the Right to Try. He is the U.S. Expansion Lead and Advisor for Infinita City and a Co-Founder of GenePool Technologies, an organization that facilitates patent pooling and licensing in the cannabis industry. He has played a crucial role in helping to realize the promise of Montana’s Expanded Right to Try law (Senate Bill 535, enacted in 2025). Read the article by Stephen Martin, “Why You Can’t Use Your ‘Right to Try’” – www.infinitacitytimes.com/p/why-you-cant-use-your-right-to-try – which discusses the remaining obstacles to patients accessing medical treatments that have not yet passed the full FDA review process. Read the post by Stephen Martin, “Please Let Us Treat Brody DeVault” – x.com/RighttoTryGuy/status/2060837360301187245 – about how the life of a 3-year-old child can be saved imminently through the exercise of federal enforcement discretion.

On Sunday, May 24, 2026, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Dan Montano, CEO of Zhittya Genesis Medicine and founder of the Freedom to Try Medical Innovations for Nevada committee, to discuss the ballot initiative (C 05 2025) that he has originated to add an expanded right to try medical innovations to the Nevada Constitution. If this ballot initiative gathers sufficient petition signatures by June 24, 2026, it will then be put before the voters in the November 2026 general election. If enacted, this initiative would amend the Nevada Constitution to establish a fundamental right for individuals with life-altering diseases or conditions to access and try medical innovations, including experimental treatments and participation in medical research studies.Under the amendment, eligible patients—those with serious, enduring health conditions who have considered approved treatments—could participate in physician-approved research studies that have been reviewed and approved by an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB). The amendment prohibits the State from interfering with or imposing additional regulatory barriers on such access, beyond existing federal or state requirements.The amendment further provides immunity from civil liability for physicians, manufacturers, and health care facilities involved in approved studies, except in cases of intentional misconduct, fraud, or gross negligence. The amendment does not require any provider or insurer to offer or cover experimental treatments, nor does it alter existing protections for human research subjects. Licensing boards and public officials could not discipline or block access for conduct authorized by this initiative.Watch this Virtual Enlightenment Salon on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKBoaDgQyzYMembers of the public will be able to post questions and comments in the live YouTube chat.Join the U.S. Transhumanist Party for free: transhumanist-party.org/membership #USTranshumanistParty #VirtualEnlightenmentSalon #RightToTry #freedomtotry #MedicalInnovations #BallotInitiative #initiativepetition #patientadvocacy #PatientRights #zhittyagenesismedicine #USTP ...

On Thursday, May 14, 2026, at the Vitalist Bay conference in Berkeley, California, at the Lighthaven facility, U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II will host a one-hour workshop from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific Time, entitled “Seizing Policy Opportunities for Life Extension and Overcoming Political Obstacles in 2026“.A livestream is available for those unable to attend the workshop in person. The YouTube link for the livestream is www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK3-tnxOTj0. This livestream will be our Virtual Enlightenment Salon for the week, since the in-person Vitalist Bay conference runs through Sunday, May 17. You are encouraged to attend the workshop in person if you are in the Bay Area at this time, as that provides for the most interactive format during the hour that we will have. The workshop will be held in the Exobrain Room at the Lighthaven facility. Viewers of the livestream will be able to provide their questions and comments in the live YouTube chat.This workshop will focus on prospects for beneficial policy reforms that could be achieved in the near-term future to accelerate the progress of potentially lifespan-extending research, as well as the difficulties presented by the political status quo – particularly, the polarized two-party system in the United States, which risks stifling progress, fragmenting the Vitalist community, and redirecting efforts toward sub-optimal paths. Attendees will be invited to actively participate in crafting an agenda for near-term victories to pursue soon, as well as tactics and strategies to remain focused and resilient in the face of both domestic and geopolitical turmoil. This workshop will include an open discussion where thoughtful analysis of both the merits and the drawbacks of any proposal or political program will be encouraged.The format of the workshop is a guided discussion with the attendees.Join the U.S. Transhumanist Party for free, no matter where you reside: transhumanist-party.org/membership#USTranshumanistParty #VitalistBay #VitalistBayWorkshop #LongevityPolicy #Longevity #LifeExtension #RightToTry #VirtualEnlightenmentSalon #TranshumanistPolitics #USTP ...

The first day of the Berkeley Conference on Aging and Longevity (BerkeleyCAL) has been fascinating, with the opportunity to hear and speak with some of the brightest minds in the field of longevity science. This Sunday, May 3, 2026, the second and final day will begin at 9 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time and will likely last until about 6 p.m. Pacific Time. Technical difficulties with the YouTube livestream led the conference organizers to shift the free public stream of the conference to Zoom. You can access it at this link: us06web.zoom.us/j/5803000027 Because the conference will last most of the day Sunday, it will substitute for our Virtual Enlightenment Salon for this day. We would encourage you to join the Zoom session for any portions of the conference that you are able to observe. We are also making arrangements with the conference organizers to obtain the recordings of the presentations after the event, so as to be able to stream many of them for several future Virtual Enlightenment Salons as well.The conference program is available at berkeleycal.org/#program. Click on the tab for “Day 2 – Sun, May 3” to see the speakers scheduled for Sunday, May 3, 2026. Note that Dr. Brendan Hughes of the Buck Institute, who was originally scheduled for May 2, will instead begin Sunday morning’s events with his presentation, “Unique, disease-relevant senescent cell states are shaped by differences in the response to DNA damage”.Live long and prosper!#BerkeleyCAL #AgingAndLongevity #LifeExtension #USTranshumanistParty #LEVF #LongevityEscapeVelocity #LongevityEscapeVelocity ...

Artificial intelligence, when used with intentionality and discernment, can enhance human creativity instead of supplanting it. On Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 1 p.m. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party (USTP) presents a special Virtual Enlightenment Salon to demonstrate this insight in practice. Led by USTP Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II, this AI Creativity Session will aim to use multiple AI models for the creation of distinctive artistic outputs, guided by ideas and feedback from the panelists and audience. This will be a participatory session where reasonable suggestions and observations will be welcomed in the YouTube chat. The goal will be the creation of a finished work or works through the use of AI that will be capable of being deployed in transhumanist circles to enhance our messaging and communicate our vision of a dramatically improved future for humanity.

U.S. Transhumanist Party
On Sunday, April 5, 2026, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party Virtual Enlightenment Salon features a discussion and informal debate between USTP Officers on the subject of the single land-value tax idea advocated by Henry George (1839-1897). Daniel Twedt (USTP Director of Community and Citizen Science) will present arguments in favor of the single land-value tax, whereas Gennady Stolyarov II (USTP Chairman) will critique the idea and instead provide support for the single flat percentage-of-sales tax as articulated in Section XXXVI of the USTP Platform, combined with a system of land ownership based on the first-occupier principle and freedom of contract. Watch this Virtual Enlightenment Salon on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gJ76s02TJkMembers of the public will be able to post questions and comments in the live YouTube chat. Read the Wikipedia entry on Henry George: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_George Section XXXVI of the USTP Platform – transhumanist-party.org/platform/ – reads: “The United States Transhumanist Party supports the elimination of graduated taxation and income taxation more generally. Instead, the United States Transhumanist Party advocates a flat percentage-of-sales tax applicable only to purchases from businesses whose combined nationwide revenues from all affiliates exceed a specified threshold. This tax would not be imposed on life necessities, defined as goods that are consumable in the near term and whose primary purpose is to facilitate human survival. [...] Furthermore, all taxes on land and property should be abolished.”Join the U.S. Transhumanist Party for free, no matter where you reside: transhumanist-party.org/membership #USTranshumanistParty #VirtualEnlightenmentSalon #LandValueTax #HenryGeorge #SingleSalesTax #PropertyTaxes #Taxation #TaxPolicy #Georgist #Georgism #PolicyDebate #TranshumanistPolitics #USTP ...
