PSA for Boston-area folks and anyone visiting Boston Longevity Week events! I'm organizing a lightning talks event for the evening of October 9th. The venue is in Cambridge, about a 15 minute walk from where the Translational Longevity Summit will take place! (link to RSVP 👇)

Today, October 7, 2026, the U.S. Transhumanist Party (@USTranshumanist) reaches the 12th anniversary of its formation. We continue to be a voice for putting science, health, and technology at the forefront of politics – highlighting possibilities of technological progress that have been neglected in conventional rhetoric but that are leading the transformation of the human condition itself. To mark the occasion, yesterday I presented at the Conference on Healthy Longevity in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the subject of “Transhumanist Politics in the United States and Its Implications for the World” – a fitting opportunity to reflect on some of the USTP’s history and the broader significance of its work. The major impact that we can have is to shift the discourse away from culture-war myopia and toward the open-ended possibilities of a future of radical longevity and abundance for all. Earlier, on October 1, 2026, I also participated in an excellent panel on Public Advocacy for Longevity at the International Longevity Summit in Madrid, Spain – youtube.com/watch?v=xeq6pHW9… – and I marched for longevity and the defeat of biological aging through the streets and city squares of Madrid with tens of supporters. Transhumanist ideas are gaining visibility, though a significant uphill road remains to be climbed. Still, our longevity thus far demonstrates an ability to persevere, and persevere we shall. The transhumanist tower shown here draws architectural inspiration from some of my European travels while also aspiring upward and toward the future. Live long and prosper!
