On Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the presentation by Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman of the U.S. Transhumanist Party, which offers a balanced portrayal of areas in which artificial intelligence has made impressive strides recently, and areas where humans will remain superior or uniquely capable for a long time. Countering both the hype and fear surrounding artificial intelligence, Chairman Stolyarov’s remarks encourage us to harness the beneficial applications of AI while recognizing the enduring advantages of our humanity. 
This presentation was originally delivered virtually at the Vanguard Scientific Instruments in Management 2025 (VSIM-2025) conference in Ravda, Bulgaria, on September 9, 2025. The recording includes introductory remarks by Professor Angel Marchev Sr. and discussion in the subsequent Q&A session, with comments by Anton Kulaga and David Wood.

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.
