Author: KGRA Digital Broadcasting June 29, 2025 Duration: 1:54:42
On Sunday, June 29, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites representatives from the U.S. Pirate Party for a Virtual Enlightenment Salon to continue discussions on areas of alignment between our two organizations, especially in light of recent developments in American politics, as well as to inform viewers of the proposal to form a political coalition between the U.S. Transhumanist and Pirate Parties for purposes of cross-endorsing one another’s candidates for non-Presidential office and fostering greater collaboration among political parties outside of the duopoly in order to pursue common objectives.
The following guests from the U.S. Pirate Party will provide remarks and answer audience questions:
 
- Drew Bingaman – Captain / Chair of the U.S. Pirate Party
- “Jolly” Mitch Davilo of the Illinois Pirate Party

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.
