Discussion and Debate on Transhumanism - C.B. Robertson and Gennady Stolyarov II

Author: KGRA Digital Broadcasting August 3, 2025 Duration: 1:53:19
On Sunday, August 3, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the discussion and debate on transhumanism between C.B. Robertson of the Caffeine and Philosophy YouTube channel and Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman of the U.S. Transhumanist Party. This debate was originally recorded on July 26, 2025, and is being re-streamed as a U.S. Transhumanist Party Virtual Enlightenment Salon. C.B. Robertson approaches transhumanism from a skeptical vantage point, but one informed by reading a significant amount of the relevant literature. This allowed for a thorough and nuanced discussion with Chairman Stolyarov, who clarified key positions within the transhumanist worldview and answered key challenges from C.B. Robertston. Areas of discussion included secular values and religion, the extent to which the pursuit of longevity is desirable, and the goals of the transhumanist project. 
The stream concludes with a selection of musical compositions by Gennady Stolyarov II, remastered by Jason Geringer:
- Strides of Technology, Op. 30
- Scenes of the Future, Op. 8
- Man’s Colonization of Space, Op. 35
- Spiral Tower Song (2024 Version)

Hosted by KGRA Digital Broadcasting, Transhumanist Party Enlightenment Salon revives the tradition of thoughtful discourse for a new age.

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.
