    William Dawley

    On Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites William Dawley, PhD, to discuss his insights into the anthropology of the transhumanist and cryonicist communities.  William Dawley is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bergen in Norway, working on the Technoscientific Immortality project, where his role is to research cryonics in the United States and better understand the transhumanists associated with it, especially their view of humanity's place in history and the future. He brings to the project his research interests in processes of sociocultural change and political-economic change and of the role of technology in these changes (especially biomedicine and new social-organizational technologies), and in how these changes interact with constructions of family and gender, and in a multidisciplinary, historical approach to the study of religion, spirituality, and secularism. Find out more about the Technoscientific Immortality project at https://www.uib.no/en/humanfutures.  Watch William Dawley’s presentation “The Mind of the Cryonicist”, delivered at the Global Cryonics Summit in Miami in July 2024: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5G3-WhjPow.

    Interviews by Dominick Prive and Wenitte Apiou

    On Sunday, January 12, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the combination stream of two recent interviews with U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II: - The November 30, 2024, interview by Dominick Prive of Liquid New Hampshire - The December 7, 2024, interview by Wenitte Apiou of the Futurologism Podcast The interview by Dominick Prive discussed the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s transpartisan, upwing focus and how to bridge divides with and among various political constituencies. This conversation was in part aimed at demonstrating that transhumanism does have the prospect of resonating with many of the values and goals of those on the political Left, as transhumanism fosters inclusivity and the promise of great improvement, through technological progress, of the living standards of those who are currently worse off. The interview by Wenitte Apiou discussed visions for the future of technological progress (including artificial intelligence) and how to amplify the reach and public acceptance of transhumanism, as well as both the challenges and opportunities facing transhumanism within the present cultural and technological setting. The stream is concluded with a Musical Q&A segment, featuring the following compositions: - “My Own” Waltz by J. P. Meder (1885) - Calm Reflection – Composition Generated by Gennady Stolyarov II via the Udio v1.5 AI - Hope for the Future – Composition Generated by Gennady Stolyarov II via the Udio v1.5 AI - The Future’s Gradual Arrival – Composition Generated by Gennady Stolyarov II via the Udio v1.5 AI View Dominick Prive’s Liquid NH YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@LiquidDemocracyNH  Listen to Wenitte Apiou’s Futurologism podcast at https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/futurologism/

    Al Baroque Grand Concerto

    On Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the premiere of The 52 Weeks – a grand concerto in the Baroque style, consisting of 52 movements representing each of the weeks of the year. The music was generated using the Udio v1.5 AI platform using prompts by U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II. Mr. Stolyarov curated the music and utilized the DALL-E 3, Grok 2, and Flux AI platforms to generate accompanying images, mostly in the styles of representational paintings from the 17th through 19th centuries. Historical artworks by artists such as Canaletto, Joseph Wright of Derby, Ivan Aivazovsky, Willem van Nieulandt, Jakob Philipp Hackert, Arthur B. Davies, Camille Corot, and Armand Guillaumin were included with certain movements. This kind of music would have been performed at Enlightenment Salons during the early-to-mid-18th century and reflects the styles of composers such as Antonio Vivaldi, Arcangelo Corelli, Georg Philipp Telemann, Georg Friedrich Handel, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The movements are the following: Week 1. Snowstorm in an Ornate City Week 2. Tranquil Winter Landscape Week 3. Distant Alpine Storms Week 4. Frost at the Lakeside Week 5.
