Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II: Death is Wrong and Life is Right

Transhumanism is a growing social and philosophical movement with more and more people becoming aware of and sympathetic to it. In fact, in the last couple of years, transhumanism has gone political with new transhumanist parties emerging in the UK and the United States. And, since I have already argued that technology is the future of politics [and vice versa], I thought it is about time to bring Gennady Stolyarov II, who is the current chairman of the US Transhumanist party, to be a guest on Singularity.FM. During our 3-hour conversation with Gennady Stolyarov II we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: the quest for permanence as his guiding principle; growing a beard and why Death is Wrong; human and transhuman; the US Transhumanist Party – history, goals and membership; AI-ism, alien-ism and transhumanism; intelligence and morality; human stupidity, Trump and Putin; Zoltan Istvan’s Presidential Campaign and Transhumanist Wager; competition, politics and markets; public vs private companies; Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and his book Let My People Go Surfing; diet, running and longevity; the technological singularity; hard vs soft take-off; the agricultural revolution and progress… You can watch the full video interview here: https://www.singularityweblog.com/gennady-stolyarov/
