14 APR 2024 · On Sunday, April 14, 2024, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s conversation with Dr. Avinash Singh on the subject of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and both the current state and the future prospects for this area of technology – including dream recording, neuroadaptive applications, and sensory augmentation. U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II, along with Art Ramon Garcia (Director of Visual Art) and Ben Ballweg (Director of Longevity Outreach) speak with Dr. Singh about the societal implications of BCI technology – both in terms of individual empowerment and the need to develop robust privacy safeguards to ensure that the outputs of one’s brain activity remain under one’s control and one’s ability to determine how they might be used.  Dr. Avinash Singh is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Computer Science, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia, and the Founder of India Future Society, a think tank. He is also co-chair of the IEEE Neuroethics Framework for Workplace, sponsored by IEEE Brain, and a member of the IEEE Standards Committee on Unifying Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Additionally, he is a member of Transhumanism Australia and actively advocates for promoting transhumanism. In 2021, he was awarded the Google TensorFlow Faculty Award to support and promote his work in BCI. Dr. Singh completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2019 at UTS, Australia, collaborating with the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, the University of California San Diego, USA, and the US Army Research Lab. Prior to earning his doctorate, he received a Master's in Software Systems in 2013 from Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani, India. Working at the intersection of machine learning, cognitive neuroscience, and mixed-reality, Dr. Singh is dedicated to designing and developing real-world neuroadaptive BCI systems. His current research interests include integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with cognitive neuroscience knowledge to explore cognitive functions, discover relationships between brain dynamics, evaluate everyday interactions, and make decisions to develop robust next-generation neuroadaptive BCIs.

7 APR 2024 · On Sunday, April 7, 2024, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the special Longevity Fireside Chat, where U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II interviews Mark Hamalainen of the Longevity Biotech Fellowship and Anastasia Egorova of Open Longevity from their Longevity Lodge in Kingsbury, Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The wide-ranging and candid conversation addresses how to draw talent to the longevity field, challenges and bottlenecks that the field faces, why a shortage of funding continues to exist, some promising approaches that may enable longevity escape velocity to be achieved in our lifetimes, and the importance of everyone who cares about this cause to do more. The progress of the Longevity Biotech Fellowship since its initial Longevity Summer Camp in July 2022, as well as the endeavors of Open Longevity in the aftermath of the “Say Forever!” campaign are also discussed. 

31 MAR 2024 · On Sunday, March 31, 2024, at 1 p.m. Pacific Time, watch this stream of the interview with U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II by Daniel D. Tadesse, host of the Daniel Demissie Podcast. This interview delves into many aspects of Chairman Stolyarov’s background and early influences, as well as some of the endeavors of the USTP.  Many of Mr. Stolyarov’s writings – including “Death is Wrong”, “Eden against the Colossus”, “A Rational Cosmology”, and his actuarial science fiction – are discussed, as well as some facets of his philosophical views and their practical applications. 

24 MAR 2024 ·  On Sunday, March 24, 2024, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites its Director of Scholarship, Dr. Dan Elton, to provide an overview of key discussions at the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI) 2024 D.C. Fly-In Event, which he attended on March 20-21, 2024.  The A4LI Fly-In included a longevity industry discussion with ARPA-H, the new Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, and a Longevity Industry Science Congressional Briefing. It was described by A4LI as follows: “The biological aging process is the primary risk factor for the top causes of non-accidental death in the United States, including heart disease, cancers, COVID-19, stroke, respiratory illnesses and Alzheimer’s. In total, chronic, age-driven health conditions that require ongoing medical care and treatment incur $3.7 trillion in annual healthcare spending. As people live longer, a growing proportion of our population suffer from more than one age-related condition at a time, further exacerbating the healthcare system.” “Because aging is the driver of chronic diseases, therapies that directly target aging physiology could prevent or cure multiple chronic age-related diseases. Researchers in the biology of aging are beginning to understand how the biological processes of aging promote disease, and dozens of biotechnology companies are applying that understanding to delay the onset and progression of age-associated health problems. Such interventions, generally termed “longevity medicine,” have the potential to dramatically decrease both mortality and healthcare costs, likely to a greater extent than even the complete cure of any one disease, while alleviating suffering and improving quality of life — revolutionizing healthcare for all Americans.” “Recognizing that there is a need for federal investment and commercialization in the longevity medicine space, the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives [hosted its] inaugural D.C. Fly-In, which [included] the first ever Longevity Science Briefing on March 21st, 2024. ”
