This brief and cheerful waltz from 2007 was the first work created by Mr. Stolyarov in Anvil Studio, a musical composition program that permits greater versatility than simply recording a piece played on a piano. The present version has been expanded and remastered using the Finale 2011 and Finale 2014 software. It is composed for two piano parts and one violin.
On Sunday, July 9, 2023, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party features a video compilation stream highlighting the work of two Nigerian student innovators. The stream begins with a brief commentary by Frederick Onwuka, author of “The Great View of the Future: How AI Will Give Us a New Perspective” and a compilation of videos by Nonso Nolly, a self-taught inventor working with drones, robots, and the open-source Arduino platform. Nonso Nolly’s videos provide demonstrations of the technologies he is working with and show his process in assembling some of his projects.
The stream concludes with a special award ceremony in which many of the U.S. Transhumanist Party Officers participated. There are several musical interludes accompanying key moments in the stream.

On Sunday, February 13, 2022, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, 4 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Ilia Stambler, PhD, to discuss his 20 years of experience as a life-extension activist, how his work has developed over time, and where he sees longevity activism needing to expand in the coming years.
10 years ago, by January 2012, Ilia Stambler completed his PhD thesis on the “History of Life-Extensionism in the Twentieth Century” - https://www.amazon.com/History-Life-Extensionism-Twentieth-Century/dp/1500818577 - and co-organized the first demonstration for life extension (on January 20, 2012) and since then became fully involved in longevity or life-extension activism. 10 years before that, around January 2002, after completing his MA degree, Ilia Stambler started to work as a science writer in biotechnology and co-created the first multi-lingual site on life extension, and so became partly involved in longevity (life extension) activism. Dr. Stambler writes, “In these 20 years, one could see the massive shift of public attitude in favor of the possibility and desirability of healthy life extension, hopefully at least in some small measure also thanks to our activism. But still there is a lot of work to be done to bring this possibility and awareness closer to real implementation, to the actual achievement of aging amelioration and healthy life extension (and not a lot of time to do it…).”
Read more about Ilia Stambler’s work as a longevity activist and some key milestones along the way here: http://www.longevityforall.org/20-years-of-longevity-activism/
Ilia Stambler, PhD, is Chief Science Officer and Chairman of “Vetek” (Seniority) – the Movement for Longevity and Quality of Life (Israel). He received his PhD at the Department of Science, Technology and Society, Bar Ilan University, Israel. His research has focused on the historical and social implications of aging and life-extension research. He is also involved in mathematical modeling of aging and aging-related diseases ( https://ec.europa.eu/eip/ageing/commitments-tracker/a3/quantified-longevity-guide-qlg_en ). He is the author of the books “A History of Life-extensionism in the Twentieth Century” and “Longevity Promotion: Multidisciplinary Perspectives” ( http://www.longevityhistory.com ).

On Sunday, October 23, 2022, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Eric Hennigan to present on historical anti-aging approaches that ultimately did not reach their intended goal. What can we learn from these failed attempts to solve the most significant problem facing us all? How can we be more successful using the improved knowledge, technology, and rational frameworks available in our era?
Eric Hennigan is a Senior Software Engineer at Google and a Volunteer Genomics Data Scientist at the University of Southern California. He holds Bachelor of Sciences degrees in Applied Mathematics and Physics from University of California Los Angeles, and a PhD in Computer Science from University of California Irvine. He enjoys communicating what he's learned to others and even acted as Instructor of Record for UCI and Cal State Fullerton while still a graduate student. Despite his formal education he recommends self-study as a path to skills improvement.

Mr. Stolyarov began composing this work in 2002 and finalized it in 2003. A waltz-like composition with numerous major-minor shifts, it expresses a mood suited to profound, serious contemplation.
This version is played using Finale 2011 software, the Steinway Grand Piano instrument, and the "Human Playback" feature.

Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman of the United States Transhumanist Party, moderated this panel discussion, entitled “Advocating for the Future”, at RAAD Fest 2017 on August 11, 2017, in San Diego, California.
From left to right, the panelists are Zoltan Istvan, Gennady Stolyarov II, Max More, Ben Goertzel, and Natasha Vita-More. With these leading transhumanist luminaries, Mr. Stolyarov discussed subjects such as what the transhumanist movement will look like in 2030, artificial intelligence and sources of existential risk, gamification and the use of games to motivate young people to create a better future, and how to persuade large numbers of people to support life-extension research with at least the same degree of enthusiasm that they display toward the fight against specific diseases.

On Sunday, October 22, 2023, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Dr. Ivan de Weber to discuss his work in harnessing machine learning for discovery of drugs that could be effective in overcoming aspects of biological aging.
Ivan de Weber, PhD, is a scientist and entrepreneur behind pioneering concepts in aging genetics and stem cells. Ivan turned to pharmaceutical bioinformatics amid an explosion in biomedical data. His quest for faster drug development led to the creation of Cortex Discovery - https://www.cortexdiscovery.com/ - which uses machine learning to accelerate the search for new medicines to cure disease and expand human longevity.

Health care is not the same as health insurance, which is neither necessary nor sufficient for proper health care. Many people ignore or neglect their own role in providing health care, and misunderstandings of this term threaten many lives.
Some of the fundamental problems with the Obama administration's health care "reform" proposals are also discussed.
Sincerely,
Gennady Stolyarov II
