Man's Struggle Against Death, Op. 57 (2008) - G. Stolyarov II
This composition by Mr. Stolyarov depicts the most important challenge facing humankind during all of its existence – the imperative of freeing individual humans from the ghastly and unconscionable fate of eventually ceasing to exist. Indefinite physical life in this world is not only possible with sufficient advances in scientific knowledge and medical technology – it is also supremely desirable, and we who are alive now should work to attain it as early as we can.
As outlined by Dr. Aubrey de Grey of the SENS Research Foundation (http://sens.org), there are only seven primary types of damage involved in human biological senescence – which leads to death:
1. Extracellular junk
2. Extracellular crosslinks
3. Dysfunctional cells
4. Intracellular aggregates
5. Mitochondrial mutations
6. Nuclear mutations
7. Cell loss/atrophy
This led Mr. Stolyarov to compose a work where there are seven variations on the same theme – with the theme representing the consistent, unyielding human effort to defeat death and achieve indefinite longevity.
Every time that a variation on the theme is played, this represents one of the causes of death finally being overcome by human ingenuity. Accordingly, the melody becomes more jubilant and determined as the composition progresses, because there are fewer perils awaiting man and the amount of the task remaining is reduced.
Once the seven variations are complete (which corresponds to the attainment of indefinite life), the coda of the work is meant to evoke the last line of John Donne’s sonnet, “Death, Be Not Proud”: “And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.”
John Donne was not himself a physical life-extensionist (he was alive too early), but the last line of his poem is an excellent motto for life-extensionists to adopt as we spread awareness of the need and urgency of defeating this greatest of all perils.
This composition was remastered using the Finale 2011 and Finale 2014 software. It is written for organ, two pianos, harpsichord, timpani, a brass section, and a strings section.

Originally posted on January 8, 2008 -- reposted here because YouTube turned the original audio to static.
The January 8, 2008, New Republic article, "Angry White Man" by James Kirchick is a blatantly false character assassination timed to bring about Ron Paul's defeat in the New Hampshire primaries. This article is a violation of journalistic etiquette and of human decency; Kirchick needs to be taken to task for his fraudulent portrayal of Dr. Paul.
Kirchick's vile and inaccurate character assassination of Dr. Paul:

G. ST
g.-stolyarov-ii-interviews-kyrel
Mr. Stolyarov invited Kyrel Zantonavitch, the author of “Pure Liberal Fire: Brief Essays on the New, General, and Perfected Philosophy of Western Liberalism” and founder of The Liberal Institute, to discuss his original philosophical framework and its relationship to Objectivism, Classical Liberalism, Austrian Economics, Libertarianism, and Transhumanism. Mr. Zantonavitch was asked challenging questions regarding his ideas and provocative approach, as well as the objectives of his philosophical system. The intense discussion - which, in some places, became a debate - highlighted both areas of agreement and areas of disagreement between Mr. Stolyarov and Mr. Zantonavitch.
“Pure Liberal Fire” is available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Liberal-Fire-Philosophy-Liberalism/dp/1484872681.
The website of The Liberal Institute is http://www.liberalinstitute.com/.
Mr. Stolyarov’s review of “Pure Liberal Fire” - http://www.rationalargumentator.com/index/blog/2014/05/pure-liberal-fire-review/ - describes Mr. Zantonavitch’s thinking thus: “There is perhaps not a single thinker in the world more fearless than Kyrel Zantonavitch. “Pure Liberal Fire” is the direct, provocative distillation of his thoughts on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, economics, culture, religion, and the history of philosophy – including Objectivism and Classical Liberalism. Zantonavitch seeks to evoke a pure, true liberalism, and he shows no mercy for ideologies and attitudes that constitute its antithesis. He certainly leaves no doubt in the reader’s mind about where he stands on the issues addressed – and each article within the book employs an abundance of superlative expressions – be they positive or negative. When Zantonavitch praises, he really praises – and the same goes for when he condemns.”

u.s.-transhumanist-party-virtual-86
On Sunday, December 4, 2022, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Steele Archer to announce his return to public speaking and his future plans for creating a show that will carry on the vibrant transhumanist online discourse of previous years. We will reflect upon Steele’s previous prolific activity with the Debt Nation show and The Archer Report in 2019-2020 as well as how online discourse and the venues available for it have changed in the ensuing years and what opportunities are available going forward.
During 2019-2020, Steele Archer’s shows were the predominant online platforms for transhumanist discourse and news coverage, with hundreds of episodes featuring thinkers within and adjacent to the transhumanist community and detailed, nuanced commentary on current events of relevance to transhumanism. Steele Archer provided in-depth coverage of the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s 2019 Presidential Primary and its aftermath – up to the selection of Charlie Kam as the 2020 Presidential Candidate. He then pursued and completed his postgraduate university studies and now seeks to inspire people to join and collaborate in useful and interesting ways which enhance community and personal engagement with the transhumanist movement.
