The U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party welcomes our new Legislative Director, Justin Waters.
Justin Waters is a child welfare attorney in Florida. His work touches on bioethical issues, such as mental competency, the appointment of medical surrogates, court orders authorizing psychotropic medications for children in the dependency system, and the rights of parents.

In this article, originally published by our allies at the Life Extension Advocacy Foundation (LEAF), Mr. Steve Hill highlights a recent webinar where Dr. Aubrey de Grey, the Biogerontology Advisor of the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party, revised his projections for the arrival of rejuvenation treatments in a more optimistic direction. Videos from the webinar are embedded.
transhumanist-party.org/2019/04/16/de-grey-accelerates-estimates/
Excerpt: “Dr. de Grey now suggests that there is a 50/50 chance of achieving robust mouse rejuvenation within 3 years from now; recent interviews and conversation reveal that he’d adjusted this figure down from 5-6 years. He has also moved his estimation of this to arrive from around 20 years to 18 years for humans.”

As Dr. Aubrey de Grey discusses in this new interview with Ariel VA Feinerman, “2018 was a fantastic year for rejuvenation biotechnology. The main thing that made it special was the explosive growth of the private-sector side of the field — the number of start-up companies, the number of investors, and the scale of investment.”

To apply, e-mail Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II at gennadystolyarovii@gmail.com.

Please feel free to provide supporting materials, such as links to past relevant work.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPEN OFFICER POSITIONS: The U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party has four volunteer Officer openings. We expect 2019 to be a pivotal year for the USTP, but we need additional committed volunteers to implement the kinds of projects that will advance the transhumanist movement’s political impact to the next level.
To apply, please e-mail Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II at gennadystolyarovii@gmail.com. Specify the position(s) you are applying for, and provide a statement of your qualifications and the reasons for your interest in any given position. Please feel free to provide supporting materials, such as links to past relevant work.
Opening for Secretary: The position of Secretary is responsible for transportation and logistics associated with USTP events, as well as miscellaneous tasks, as may be requested by the Chairman. If the applicant resides in Nevada, the applicant will also have an option to simultaneously become the Secretary of the Nevada Transhumanist Party, which may involve making occasional filings of documentation in person with the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office in Carson City. It is furthermore encouraged for the Secretary, like all the other Officers, to spread awareness of the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party on social media and in person, to encourage new members to join, and to source content for the USTP website. Basic web editing skills, using platforms such as WordPress, are desirable but would also be taught to an otherwise qualified applicant. The specific expectations of the Secretary position are flexible, evolving, and may be custom-tailored to the strengths and skill sets of the applicant. However, to qualify for the position, it is absolutely essential for the applicant to be a person of consistent, reliable, trustworthy character, with a strong work ethic, communication skills, and the ability to follow through on commitments.
NOTE: The Secretary is not intended to be a second-in-command. By design, the USTP has no hierarchy of Officers; rather, all titles other than Chairman are horizontal and co-equal.
***
Opening for Director of Publication: The Director of Publication would source content from Allied Organizations and publish it regularly on the U.S. Transhumanist Party website pursuant to ongoing understandings with those organizations. We wish to develop our website into a hub for information regarding cutting-edge research, projects, and activism opportunities. The Director of Publication would be responsible for keeping up with what our Allied Organizations release and republishing materials where we have a right to do so and in a manner that aligns with our Platform and objectives. This would also be an opportunity for the Director of Publication to write and publish his or her own content with transhumanist and/or life-extensionist themes.
***
Opening for Legislative Director: The Legislative Director would be responsible for implementing the Legislative Action Framework of the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party, as described in the following article: transhumanist-party.org/2019/03/17/legislative-action-framework/. The Legislative Director would recruit and coordinate with volunteer Issue Analysts to regularly track pending legislation that affects the issues and principles expressed in the U.S. Transhumanist Party Platform, the Transhumanist Bill of Rights, Version 3.0, and the Core Ideals of the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party.
The Legislative Director would ideally have a background in law/policy making. It would be the responsibility of the Legislative Director to inform the Chairman of all relevant legislation on state and federal levels as provided by analysts or through personal observation. It would also be the Legislative Director’s responsibility to identify national policy trends and make suggestions for yearly priorities. The Legislative Director should, when necessary, reach out to our expert Advisors as listed on the USTP Advisors page.
***
Opening for Campaign Director: The Campaign Director’s primary role would be to interface with candidates seeking the endorsement of the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party during the 2019 Presidential Primary and the 2020 Election Season. This would include facilitating discussions and debates among candidates, assisting with outreach to the general public, and communicating the USTP’s principles and expectations to candidates who seek the USTP’s endorsement.
This liaison role is not limited to potential Presidential candidates and would extend to candidates for other federal, state, and local offices. The Campaign Director would also periodically search for and identify independent and/or nonpartisan candidates whose platforms and priorities sufficiently align with the U.S. Transhumanist Party Platform that an endorsement by the USTP might be possible. For candidates who are ultimately endorsed by the USTP, the Campaign Director will assist with spreading those candidates’ messages and ideas via social media and other channels of communication.
Is AI the future of politics? The U.S. Transhuman(ist) Party features this TED talk, in both English and Spanish, by César Hidalgo, Director of MIT’s Collective Learning group, where he presents the idea of Augmented Democracy – a system to automate and enhance democracy by empowering citizens to create personalized AI representatives to aid in legislative decision-making.
Mr. Hidalgo has launched a contest with cash prizes where participants are encouraged to submit proposals to explore new ways to practice democracy and direct participation in collective decision-making using AI. Below, you can find a statement from Mr. Hidalgo and a link to the contest. We encourage members of the USTP, and non-members, to look into this opportunity to participate and collaborate in building a more just future!

The U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party features this proposal by our member Hank Pellissier for a new website called Paradise2040, which will focus on the abolition of involuntary suffering and incremental ways of getting there within the next 21 years. This is an endeavor supported by Article IV of the Transhumanist Bill of Rights, Version 3.0. It is also a current within transhumanist thinking that, as Mr. Pellissier points out, could bring additional support to the movement. Different transhumanists will have different views as to what the most important aims of transhumanism should be. As an organization that embraces pluralism and diversity of thought, the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party would encourage any of our members who agree with the direction Mr. Pellissier proposes to collaborate with him on the creation of the Paradise2040 website.

This idea has been posited by such proto-transhumanist thinkers as the Russian Cosmist Nikolai Fyodorov and is involved to various degrees in transhumanist projects such as cryonics, the creation of mindfiles, brain preservation, and the pursuit of various approaches toward mind uploading. There also arise various philosophical dilemmas as to the identities of such hypothetically resurrected individuals.

We ask the members of the USTP to deliberate about specific measures that could be taken to prevent such violations of cryonics patients’ wishes and legitimate rights from arising again. These measures could include reforms to laws so as to improve protections for cryonics patients, as well as improved enforcement of existing laws which may offer some extent of protections at least in theory.
Please read our full statement, which includes a detailed discussion of and various perspectives on key events involved in this situation, here:

At SENS Research Foundation, we believe that a world free of age-related disease is possible. Our research emphasizes the application of regenerative medicine to age-related disease, with the intent of repairing underlying damage to the body's tissues, cells, and molecules.The U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party has achieved its first legislative victory. We previously issued an alert about Nevada Assembly Bill 226, which originally was written only to prohibit compulsory microchip implants, but whose sponsor, Assemblyman Daly, proposed an amendment to also prohibit all voluntary programs for the implantation of a microchip. This concerned us greatly, as it would have essentially prohibited both medical implants with electronic components, as well as implants pursued for reasons of esthetics, self-expression, and functional improvement. Although we learned of the proposed amendment only two days before today's Work Session at the Assembly Judiciary Committee, the dedicated grassroots activists among our membership sprang into action. USTP activists quickly published an article, circulated tens of posts via social media, informed prominent transhumanists via e-mail, submitted comments on the Nevada Legislature and to the Assembly Judiciary Committee, and reached out to Legislators. We greatly appreciate that Assemblyman Richard "Skip" Daly took our concerns into account and proposed Subsection 3 within his amendment (attached), which defines "microchip implant" in quite a narrow manner, addressing his concerns about potential future institutional pressure to use implanted identification markers, while exempting from the bill's scope any medical devices, artistic implants, or implants pursued for reasons of personal expression. This amendment was incorporated into AB226 at the Assembly Judiciary Committee Work Session on March 15, 2019. The U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party believes that AB226, as amended, is no longer a cause for significant concern. While we are not thrilled about any restrictions on voluntary, peaceful activity, we believe that medical innovators, patients, artists, biohackers, grinders, cyborgs, fitness enthusiasts, and many other users of functional implantable technologies will not be at risk from this bill. Thank you to the transhumanist community for mobilizing so effectively to achieve this victory!

R. Nicholas Starr alerts transhumanists to a concerning development at the Nevada Legislature: “On February 22nd, 2019, Assemblyman Skip Daly (D-Sparks) presented AB226 (Assembly Bill 226) for review and debate. The act, in its original form, is a good thing. It prevents against forced implantation of a “microchip or other identifying marker”, punishable as a class C felony (up to 5 years in prison and/or $10,000 fine). Fantastic! No one should be forced to do anything to their bodies they don’t want to do! But on March 4th Daly proposed an amendment to his own bill that also bans VOLUNTARY implantation. This is a staggering attack on bodily autonomy and self determination. ”

We must set an example for the world of what is possible with the Transhumanist movement. And that begins with displaying traits such as tolerance, compassion, enthusiasm, and kindness, while working on projects and endeavors that will lead to improving the condition and quality of life for all humans."

Here is what Tom has to say about what got him involved in the USTP and motivated to help in such a major way: “Transhuman is the concept of an intermediary form between human and posthuman with powers and abilities beyond those of standard humans. Whether improved intelligence, awareness, strength, or durability. ‘Trans’ means ‘Beyond’, and this evolution is inevitable. To debate whether or not this is a good thing is to delay discussion about policies that may mitigate risk to our species. The United States Transhumanist Party is the formal political body addressing these issues now by putting science, health, and technology at the forefront of American politics. I'm not Transhuman because I want to live forever. In fact, I'm not sure that's a good thing for the evolution of consciousness, but this is where we can have those conversations that will forge policies for this next level world.”

Eloquent and inspiring words from B.J. Murphy, the U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party's Director of Social Media:
***
Ever since our early ancestors discovered and used fire to overcome obstacles which stood before them, we've been on the warpath against the dictatorship of nature itself and all of its cruelty. We've stood toe-to-toe with the grim reaper time and again, and with each time, we've come out victorious.
The journey which lies before us today is no different. With the help of modern science and technology, we're now in the fight for our lives, whether it's conquering nature in the face of climate change, conquering space in the face of asteroid impacts, or conquering aging in the face of our own mortality.
And with this being the battle cry of the U.S. Transhumanist Party, that is why #IAmTranshuman.

Even eyeglasses are a transhuman enhancement. The sight of those with poor vision is made normal, enabling them to function and achieve in ways that would have been impossible during Antiquity or most of the Middle Ages. The invention of eyeglasses in 1290 contributed to the subsequent flourishing of written and artistic culture and certainly rendered it easier for Western societies to experience the Renaissance and the Enlightenment.
Practically all humans are used to this technological enhancement simply because it is relatively old and has been around for many generations. Someday – hopefully soon – the emerging biological and mechanical enhancements that are on the cusp of further expanding human capabilities, will also be accepted by virtually all of society without a second thought. The difference between eyeglasses and laser eye surgery is already more immense than the difference between laser eye surgery and the bionic eyes that will be able to restore sight to the blind. The U.S. Transhumanist Party / Transhuman Party encourages the entire world to overcome the fear of the unfamiliar and recognize that the technological enhancements of the coming decades will one day be seen as eyeglasses are today.

It is most unfortunate that Hans Rosling died in 2017 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 68. The world needed and continues to need his level-headed “factfulness” to counter sensationalist doomsaying. Not everything is good about the world, but there has also been much progress. It is a tragedy that this progress has not come rapidly enough to save many profoundly insightful people like Hans Rosling, but may his wisdom help the rest of us solve ever more problems of disease, scarcity, and societal ills with every passing year.

The United States Transhumanist Party issues this statement to bring attention to a series of rapid developments during January 2019, at the end of which our political party (including its State-level affiliates) remains the sole transhumanist political organization in the United States.
The Transhuman National Committee of the United States (TNC) has disbanded, and the Transhuman Party is being integrated into the U.S. Transhumanist Party. We (including our State-level affiliates) are now the sole transhumanist political organization in the United States and the last, best hope for transhumanist political aspirations to be realized.

Murphy has published this article covering Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II’s recent interview with Ray Kurzweil at RAAD Fest 2018.
Mr. Murphy makes some apt observations, including this one: “What I found most interesting from Kurzweil’s response wasn’t so much his consistency in the belief that AI will indeed outpace human intelligence as a whole; rather our fears of a dystopian future where AI has gone astray are becoming increasingly unlikely. He makes this argument with the understanding that there is no singular AI being controlled by singular powerful companies or people. In today’s reality, there are millions of different AIs being controlled by anyone who owns a smartphone.”

U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II poses a wide array of questions for inventor, futurist, and Singularitarian Dr. Ray Kurzweil on September 21, 2018, at RAAD Fest 2018 in San Diego, California. Topics discussed include advances in robotics and the potential for household robots, artificial intelligence and overcoming the pitfalls of AI bias, the importance of philosophy, culture, and politics in ensuring that humankind realizes the best possible future, how emerging technologies can protect privacy and verify the truthfulness of information being analyzed by algorithms, as well as insights that can assist in the attainment of longevity and the preservation of good health – including a brief foray into how Ray Kurzweil overcame his Type 2 Diabetes.

Arin Vahanian writes, “It is time for a new approach and a new way of thinking when it comes to treating and curing depression. Transhumanism may offer that light at the end of the tunnel. Indeed, Transhumanism may very well be humanity’s best hope for a cure for depression, because it leaves no stone unturned in the quest to live a life of fewer limits, as well as improved health, and greater happiness and fulfillment. Imagine what could be done to solve depression if we approached treatment and a cure not in the standard ways, but by harnessing the full power of science and technology to do whatever it takes to assist the hundreds of millions of people who are suffering.”
This is the kind of creative application of transhumanist ideas that is necessary to facilitate wider public recognition of how a transhumanist worldview can positively transform many areas of life and solve long-standing problems. The unconventional, innovative, technologically based treatments will be the ones that ultimately solve depression and other problems of human psychology.

Mr. Enless articulates a distinction between materialism and consumerism that is often missing from contemporary discourse; this is particularly needed, as popular thinking regarding materialism indeed tends to be quite muddled and too often associates materialist philosophical frameworks with the kind of consumerism that is alleged to be problematic. Many transhumanists are ontological materialists and seek to more effectively harness the material world and its workings for human benefit. If the false equivalency between this approach and stereotypical consumerism can be dispelled, this would assist with the public acceptance of the transhumanist worldview and aspirations.

We advocate a wide variety of emerging technologies, including cryptocurrencies, as well, and we endeavor to contemplate ways in which such technologies can solve deep-rooted societal problems by altering people’s incentives, hopefully in positive directions. This article was written in February 2018, just past the peak of the cryptocurrency bubble, but it looks beyond that bubble and envisions more sustainable functions for cryptocurrencies beyond speculation – for instance, achieving the goal of providing a basic income and integrating activities that create external value in the community with rewards for the individuals who engage in such activities. We continue to encourage our members to contemplate possibilities for implementing a Universal Basic Income in realistic ways that would harness new technologies for incremental progress toward the goal and would not require revolutionizing the entire world at once.

Blockchains Instead of Beggars: Could Cryptocurrencies Unleash Universal Basic Income? – Article by Nicole Sallak Anderson Blockchains Instead of Beggars: Could Cryptocurrencies Unleash Universal Basic Income? – Article by Nicole Sallak Anderson January 6, 2019 Nicole Sallak Anderson Comments 0 ...This article by Gareth John raises various perspectives about the idea of technological Singularity and asks readers to offer their perspectives regarding how plausible the Singularity narrative, especially as articulated by Ray Kurzweil, is. The U.S. Transhumanist Party welcomes such deliberations and assessments of where technological progress may be taking our species and how rapid such progress might be – as well as how subject to human influence and socio-cultural factors technological progress is, and whether a technological Singularity would be characterized predominantly by benefits or by risks to humankind. The article by Mr. John is a valuable contribution to the consideration of such important questions.

New year, new logo for the U.S. Transhumanist Party - slightly new, incrementally new - resembling most changes I implement. Can you spot the single difference?
Hint: I am inspired by Arin Vahanian's observation that our party has the term "human" as part of its name. We are focused on human well-being and the improvement of both individuals and the species. We share the essential objectives of the humanists, but we think science and technology can accomplish them more fully.
Hopefully this logo will bring out the emphasis on the "human" aspect of transhumanism a bit more. This will be relevant in the year to come as we announce further noteworthy developments.
In his annual New Year’s message, longevity researcher and activist Victor Bjoerk speaks of the importance of medical progress and preservation of what is good about the world – including preservation of human lives from the ravages of aging.
Mr. Bjoerk writes, “I’m not someone who constantly calls for change and ‘progress’; I mean, if something is nice, then why not keep it? As far as I’m concerned, for example, the beautiful architecture from the past can continue to stand for thousands more years. These buildings fulfill their purpose and look nice; I’m quite conservative on those points – but please accelerate the medical research, and it is crucial to spot the techniques that actually do work and to not waste resources on hype!”

Message from Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman of the U.S. Transhumanist Party: Today my article on the Marquis de Condorcet has been published by LongeCity. In it I explain that the contemporary life-extensionist movement is essentially an implementation of the project that Condorcet outlined. Read it here: www.longecity.org/forum/page/index2.html/_/feature/condorcet
Excerpt: "The 18th-century Age of Enlightenment brought forth a paradigm shift in perceptions of the human condition and potential. The thinkers of the Enlightenment systematically articulated the case for rationality, science, and technology dramatically improving human well-being and overcoming what were previously considered to be immutable limitations. Those of us today who support the pursuit of indefinite life extension, rejuvenation biotechnology, and emerging research and its applications in a wide array of transformative fields are essentially continuing the project that the Enlightenment philosophers began. Although they had a much more rudimentary toolkit at their disposal, the most visionary minds among them were remarkably able to anticipate many aspects of our contemporary world and even to see beyond it.
One such individual was Marie-Jean-Antoine-Nicolas de Caritat, Marquis de Condorcet (1743-1794), among the most talented polymaths, philosophers, economists, political scientists, mathematicians, administrators, and authors of the 19th century – a man who unfortunately lived far ahead of his time and whose life was claimed by the tumult of the French Revolution in 1794. Condorcet died in prison under mysterious circumstances, after running afoul of the murderous Jacobin faction that seized power in 1793-1794 and perpetrated a Reign of Terror that subverted the ideals of the Enlightenment. Shortly beforehand Condorcet completed a work that set forth the blueprint for human progress to come – the "Esquisse d'un tableau historique des progrès de l'esprit humain" ("Outlines of a historical view of the progress of the human mind"), published posthumously in 1795. At the end of this work, Condorcet briefly but insightfully articulated much of the terminology and conceptual framework that characterize many thoughts in the life-extension movement today."

However, the ideas provided by Mr. Polyakov – which combine an Internet meritocracy with individualized attention to students and the ability of students to take charge of their learning – offer some promising options for elevating the quality of education and reaching more young minds at crucial formative stages. The U.S. Transhumanist Party encourages its members to consider these ideas and to offer their own perspectives.

This brief article by Alex Lightman, Campaign Director for the California Transhumanist Party, is an example of how even a few constructive, inspiring, big-picture ideas by transhumanists could revolutionize politics for the better and help us construct the next era of our civilization. What could Donald Trump be focusing on instead of his brinksmanship over an unnecessary border wall? Mr. Lightman explores the alternatives here.

Where this group can show some leadership in making reasonable proposals? How can we demonstrate their reasonableness and effectiveness at impacting the bottom line?
Examples may include:
* Reduce government health care spending by reducing cancer rates through rapid improvement in imaging technologies to identify potential cancers earlier.
* Increase government revenues and reduce expenses by utilizing technologies to enable all Americans to obtain a High School diploma and many Bachelors degrees for free or at very low cost, mostly online, and at any age.
* Increase government revenues by enhancing the capacity of older Americans to work and pay taxes through average healthspan expansion of 2 years within a 10-year time frame.

We mourn his loss with him and also convey our profound admiration that, while he grieves through this tragedy, he is animated by a sense of resolve and purpose to right the injustices of death and disease.
The U.S. Transhumanist Party publishes this article by Mr. Antony as a reminder that the aspirations of the transhumanist movement and the imperative to develop technologies to instantiate it are personal to many of us. Delays in achieving our vision come at the cost of innocent lives. In Section XXII of its Platform, “The United States Transhumanist Party supports efforts at political, economic, and cultural experimentation in the form of seasteads and micronations.” We ask our members: To what extent can such experimentation be explicitly transhumanist in nature? To what extent can the U.S. Transhumanist Party collaborate and its members contribute their efforts to advance emerging efforts to create seasteads and micronations – such as Blue Frontiers? Do members agree with Mr. Antony’s critique of the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s predominant approach, which is aimed at incrementally reforming existing political systems? Comments from various perspectives are welcome.

All around the world, scientists are trying to beat the most debilitating condition known to humans: ageing. Here is how worms and 3D printers can help.The U.S. Transhumanist Party asks its members and others within and outside the transhumanist community to read and sign the Petition to Support Unity and Tolerance in the Transhumanist Movement:

You can also find the full text of the petition on the U.S. Transhumanist Party website: transhumanist-party.org/2018/12/17/petition-unity-tolerance/
The U.S. Transhumanist Party endorses this petition due to our strong opposition to online bullying, social-media mobs, harassment campaigns, and attempts by certain non-representative factions to purge the transhumanist movement of ideas with which they disagree and the individuals who espouse those ideas. We need to remain a “big tent” coalition that welcomes all who wish to peacefully assist our movement and the spread of our ideas. We support this effort to help fellow Transhumanist artist, writer, and event producer Rachel Haywire as she seeks to rebuild her life and repair the damage from unjustified attacks.

The recent vote results have been announced at transhumanist-party.org/2018/12/13/tbr-results-v3/, with a detailed tabulation of the votes for every ballot question available at transhumanist-party.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TBR_Version_3.0_Vote_Results.pdf.
Version 3.0 augments and supersedes Version 2.0, while retaining the original intent of Version 2.0. It offers necessary clarifications regarding the meaning of the right of ending involuntary suffering, the meaning of universal health care, the justification of the universal basic income, and the concept of the noosphere. Furthermore, Version 3.0 directly integrates relevant portions of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights into the Transhumanist Bill of Rights, eliminating any need to jointly interpret those two documents.
The U.S. Transhumanist Party thanks all of its members who participated in the latest online vote. Version 3.0 of the Transhumanist Bill of Rights is the latest and best-yet aspirational statement regarding how a future society will desirably treat sentient entities without limiting the rights of any sentient entity as a result of circumstantial attributes, choices to pursue technological enhancement, or biological or non-biological origin.
