Why Openly Transhumanist Politics is Needed for Vitalism to Succeed – Presentation by Gennady Stolyarov II at Vitalist Bay
Gennady Stolyarov II
On May 25, 2025, Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II presented at the Vitalist Bay Longevity Policy Conference on behalf of the U.S. Transhumanist Party about why explicitly Transhumanist politics is necessary for the movement for radical life extension to become more widely embraced. This presentation encapsulates Chairman Stolyarov’s most current thinking about where advocates of radical life extension can most effectively make a difference politically. It also provides his theory of change – how a persistent core (such as what he intends for the U.S. Transhumanist Party to become) can facilitate steady progress toward the goal without risking derailment by the all-too-common pressures – both internal and external – that cause most organizations to perform sub-optimally or even ruin them altogether.
This presentation was discussed in the article by journalist Arkadi Mazin of Lifespan.io, entitled “Longevity Policy, Advocacy in the Spotlight at Vitalist Bay” – published on June 20, 2025.
Arkadi Mazin was also the person who asked Gennady Stolyarov II a question at the conclusion of this presentation.
