The discussion focused on improving the internal functions of the U.S. Transhumanist Party, attracting volunteers, and raising the visibility of transhumanist projects and causes. An interactive discussion transpired about ways to bolster the publication and legislative-tracking activities of the USTP. The conversation also extended to subjects of general interest to transhumanists, futurists, and those seeking to learn about the transhumanist movement.<\/p>\n<p>Read about Zach Richardson <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/transhumanist-party.org\/leadership\/#DirectorOfPublication\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<br \/>\nRead about Jason Geringer <a href=\"https:\/\/transhumanist-party.org\/leadership\/#LegislativeDirector\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/>\nRead about Ben Ballweg <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/transhumanist-party.org\/leadership\/#DirectorOfLongevityOutreach\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transhumanist-party.org\/membership\/\">Join the U.S. Transhumanist Party<\/a> for free, no matter where you reside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE: <\/strong>Even though the U.S. Transhumanist Party is staunchly pro-vaccine and expressed such views during the Virtual Enlightenment Salon, YouTube algorithmically censored the video, most likely with no serious human involvement, and algorithmically rejected our appeal as well.
