On Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s conversation with Brandon King, who is running as a candidate for the Minnesota State House – District 20A and seeking the Transhumanist Party’s endorsement in a future vote. This Salon offers the opportunity for USTP members and the general public to become acquainted with Mr. King and his campaign, based on making Space and Time available to all through proposals such as the Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act and the Minnesota Workweek Liberation Act.
The conversation between Brandon King and U.S. Transhumanist Party Officers – Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II, Art Ramon Garcia, Jr. (Director of Visual Art), Allen Crowley of the Texas Transhumanist Party, and Daniel Twedt (Director of Community and Citizen Science) was recorded on December 12, 2025, and delves into ideas such as Sovereign Homes – 3D-printed at low cost and offered to the public at reasonable monthly rates with the option to own them free and clear after 15 years; paying for a Universal Basic Income through a national program of asteroid mining; ways to find meaning and self-actualization in a society where employment becomes transformed through automation and working hours are reduced; the Enlightenment and its opposite, the Endarkenment; whether socialism and capitalism are meaningful terms in the 21st century and Brandon King’s concept of Enlightenment Socialism – based more on 18th-century and 19th-century conceptions of socialism rather than on 20th-century authoritarian models; and what he characterizes as a non-mystical view of the Singularity – including various scenarios of promise or peril, where human choices will determine which scenarios get realized.

Brandon King has spent time as an activist in the transhumanist and longevity communities. He served as the second Chairman in the history of the United States Longevity Party, which was subsequently memorialized in the Statements of Historical Fact within the U.S. Transhumanist Party Constitution (Article I, Section II, Historical Fact 6) – https://transhumanist-party.org/constitution/#HistoricalFact – as Brandon King’s historical contributions were recognized when the U.S. Longevity Party merged with the U.S. Transhumanist Party in 2020.

Hosted by KGRA Digital Broadcasting, Transhumanist Party Enlightenment Salon revives the tradition of thoughtful discourse for a new age. This podcast convenes experts and visionaries from fields that shape our tomorrow: longevity research, artificial intelligence, futurist philosophy, political theory, and cultural critique. The aim is to weave together these often-separate threads, fostering connections that can lead to genuine breakthroughs in how we see the world and our place within it. Each episode is structured as a deep, extended conversation, allowing ideas the space and time they need to fully unfold. You’ll hear discussions that grapple with the practical and ethical implications of emerging technologies, examine the philosophical underpinnings of a transhumanist future, and consider how art and politics intersect with radical scientific advancement. It’s a forum dedicated to rigorous, long-form dialogue in pursuit of a more rational and informed society. Tuning into this podcast means joining a modern salon, one where complex questions about human enhancement, societal evolution, and collective intelligence are explored with seriousness and intellectual curiosity. The conversations recorded here are not soundbites; they are immersive journeys into the minds at the forefront of redefining what it means to be human.
