What hope is there to actually achieve the ideals of liberty in our lifetimes? There is a promising approach, encapsulated in the following method. Ask yourself: What results would a fully free market, functioning in accordance with the principles of liberty and individual rights, bring about? Now go pursue those results directly, through your individual actions, without waiting for the system to change.
On Sunday, October 1, 2023, the U.S. Transhumanist Party streamed a special Virtual Enlightenment Salon on the occasion of International Longevity Day. Speakers discussed the importance of the scientific pursuit of healthy longevity as well as the various events that were arranged for the occasion of International Longevity Day throughout the world.

Why do the disturbing political developments in the United States today suggest that the country is approaching the textbook definition of fascism? And what is fascism, anyway? Moreover, in what manner does this fascism go beyond simply the expansion of a welfare state and into violations of basic human dignity and decency?

Waltz composed by Mr. Stolyarov in December 2007 and played in the Finale 2011 software using the Steinway Grand Piano instrument.
This waltz experiments with harmonies not found in Mr. Stolyarov's previous works, while remaining true to Mr. Stolyarov's conviction that music must be pleasant to the ear and convey a joyous, confident sense of life.

This is a triumphal march – a monumental celebration of great victories and accomplishments. It employs three principal related themes, with each theme being accompanied by a variation immediately after it is presented. The majority of the march is composed for two pianos, a brass section, and timpani – although the second occurrence of the first two theme-variation blocks is orchestrated differently, with the brass section being replaced by an organ and a second part added for timpani.
This work was originally composed in 2009 and has been remastered using the Finale 2011 software.
