This essay is current through year-end 2018, and various other significant developments have occurred since then. However, this essay should give readers a strong impression of the USTP\u2019s values, operating procedures, areas of focus, and aspirations for the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe depredations of contemporary politics and the majority of our era\u2019s societal problems stem from the scarcity of material resources and time. However, numerous emerging technologies on the horizon promise to dramatically lift the present-day constraints of scarcity. The United States Transhumanist Party, in advocating the accelerated development of these technologies and seeking to influence public opinion to embrace them, is forging a new political paradigm rooted in abundance, rather than scarcity. This new approach is simultaneously more ambitious and more civil than the status quo. Here I illustrate the distinguishing features of the Transhumanist Party\u2019s mode of operation, achievements, and plans for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Purchase the Transhumanism Handbook on Amazon\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Transhumanism-Handbook-Newton-Lee\/dp\/3030169197\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Become a member of the U.S. Transhumanist Party \/ Transhuman Party for free, no matter where you reside.
