A Call for the Formation and Identification of Transhumanist Student Groups
Gennady Stolyarov II
Attention, college, university, and high-school students: If you are interested in forming campus-level or school-level transhumanist associations for discussion and advocacy of emerging technologies, the U.S. Transhumanist Party wants to work with you. If you already have such a group – formal or informal – in proximity or in affiliation with an educational institution, please let us know in this thread or via e-mail here. We can help by offering content, guidance, and publicity to your initiatives.
Any student interested in advocating for life extension, medical care, progress in artificial intelligence, automation, space colonization, and technologies of privacy and individual empowerment, is most welcome to start a campus club and affiliate it with the U.S. Transhumanist Party. What we would request from you are periodic updates regarding your activities, which we could then publish on our website and publicize to our members. You could also feel free to host and record (via video or audio) meetings, interviews, guest speeches, and similar events.
When forming the club or association, please take a look at the U.S. Transhumanist Party Constitution (including the Platform in Article III) so that, when the club represents the official positions of the Transhumanist Party, those representations are made accurately. Of course, you are also free to discuss ideas regarding emerging technologies and the future more generally, and personal opinions of individuals may be different from, or address other subject areas than, any of the official positions of the U.S. Transhumanist Party.
Also, during the formation stages of the club or association and as activities unfold, please continue to explore the content we have already posted on our website (http://transhumanist-party.
Once you are ready to take the step of direct affiliation, please e-mail Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II here, and you would be provided with a Delegation of Authority that would be tailored to allow you to run the club in a relatively autonomous manner, while remaining under the auspices of the U.S. Transhumanist Party.
Local organizations, including student transhumanist discussion groups, are one important way in which the U.S. Transhumanist Party will spread its influence and messages to the public. We encourage the formation and grassroots operation of as many of these groups as possible.
