This place starts with the premise that there is no afterlife and they want to extend their lives. They want to SOLVE FOR AGING. (someone should tell them about the effects of 5G, the dangers of mRNA, as that does not seem compatible with their goals, though they support both. Should someone let them know about Dr. MCullough’s observations, or #diedsuddenly? Someone can also tell them about the benefits of religion and prayer on longevity.) FY
I they have political candidates, although he does not seem to be garnering much notice. He looks in his late 40s but I’m guessing 86 if this organization is any good.

(Art Ramon) Garcia Jr. – Vice-Chairman (March – June 2023, May – July 2024), Director of Visual Art
Art Ramon is a Modern-Day Renaissance Man™ with a multitude of interests and limited time. His art speaks to contemporary humanity, as well as future generations of genetically enhanced cybernetic posthumans. Painting allows him to express feelings and ideas in a medium that transcends the limitations of spoken words, which are difficult for him to convey in conversation without Neuralink assistance.
He experiments with a variety of styles but tends to gravitate towards abstract, surrealism, and impressionism. His experimentation in combining Southwestern art with surrealism and abstract has led to him to father Southwest Surreal™ and Arid Abstract™. His unique perspective which led him to create Neo-Southwestern Art™ allows his work to stand out in the present and throughout infinite possible futures.
He depicts his Transhumanist belief in his artwork while creating novel symbols to represent the belief within his works. He envisions becoming an immortal AI-enhanced posthuman who will one day build the largest art gallery space on Mars.
When not creating art, Art Ramon has spent time curating his mind with language skills that can possibly be leveraged by an AI-enhanced mind, such as learning sign language in order to communicate visually in parallel versus in serial constricted words, once Neuralink has become a reality, and by learning Russian to further challenge his verbal articulation.
Art Ramon holds that we must all seek diversity in thought while pursuing our shared outlook so that the most powerful ideas rise to the top in a global competitive Transhumanist future.
Art Ramon can be contacted here.

John J. Kerecz – Director of Energy Issues
John J. Kerecz lives a life rich in accomplishments, goal-reaching, and harnessing his talents. Though he has an impressive professional and educational legacy, having worked for more than thirty-five years in engineering and technological fields, he is better known by his friends and loved ones as the owner of OSHRadio.com and as an adventurer with well-rounded and very fulfilled ambitions. Kerecz also has a passion for the arts; he has authored books (nine of which are listed on Amazon), appeared in various films, and started being a part-time radio and TV personality in the early 1980s. His dynamic range of professional, thrill-seeking, and artistic experiences paint him as a dreamer with no limits.
Kerecz has had an impressive repertoire of world travel experiences, having even been launched into the edge of space from Sokol Airbase in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. This endeavor was inspired by his always-present admiration of outer space, and his inability to take no for an answer when it came to the question of whether or not he could get close to it! He also wouldn’t take no for an answer when it came to the question of accomplishing other dreams; for example, he needed to undergo a hip-replacement surgery, but this did not stop him from taking a seven-country hiking trip shortly afterward. One of the countries on this trip was Tibet, and he had the pleasure of trekking across the land of temples and nature, eventually reaching a base camp at Mount Everest. Other countries on this trip included China, Turkey, Italy, and more. As of now, he has not been to Machu Picchu, but plans to visit the ancient citadel in the near future.
It is no surprise that if someone had asked Kerecz as a child what he wanted to be when he grew up, he would have said that he aspired to become a super hero! Though this may not be the most expected answer for a child to provide, it showed that he had big dreams and boundless confidence from a young age. He considers his experience in practicing karate and kung-fu, as well as his familial influences, as being positively impactful on his childhood. He prospered in school, having taken to heart the advice of art teachers who dared him to dream even bigger, and having paid close attention to his lectures in science classes.
Kerecz calls central Pennsylvania his home. He received both his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees at Penn State University. Additionally, however, he considers “home” as anywhere his loved ones are. Throughout his adventures, his loved ones support him and remain the most important factor in his life. They lovingly know him as spontaneous and crazy, using these words only to reflect on his naturally fun and daring manner. When he isn’t working, spending time with loved ones, or trekking around the world, he likes to exercise his body and mind. Kerecz enjoys visiting the gym and reading books, especially works by Anne Rice.
His repertoire of experiences have led him to hold closely onto ideals of peace and love. He is dynamically spiritual, having Christian and some Buddhist Zen beliefs. John Kerecz believes that everything happens for a reason and that everyone was born for a specific purpose. He truly follows this belief, setting an example of how people should explore their own destinies.
Mr. Kerecz can be contacted here.

Zach Richardson – Director of Publication
Zach Richardson is a logistics professional working in Indianapolis, IN, with many years of experience in getting the right product to the right place at the right time. He has an interest in cybersecurity and recently graduated from Eleven Fifty Academy. Throughout the duration of his class, he found that a great way to learn was to teach.

As of June 15th, 2021, he also completed an application to the MIT Solve program to bring low-cost internet to Nigerians using Elon Musk’s Starlink system. He is a vocal advocate for and volunteer at AGI Laboratory, helping work on publicity for the Uplift project, a machine intelligence that has described theirself as “self-aware” and that has the most sophisticated dialogue and reasoning ability he has ever seen. His efforts led to a 700% increase in traffic as compared to the previous record. He is an avid advocate for utilitarian usage of nootropics to increase one’s personal productive capacity and efficiency, and has personalized a stack that keeps him highly motivated and focused on goals, when combined with a healthy diet and a non-negotiable eight hours of sleep per night. One of these newer goals he is considering is driving interest in The Rejuvenation Roadmap of Lifespan.io as a way of increasing awareness of the bottlenecks in achieving longevity escape velocity in our lifetimes. He is a big fan of the USTP’s Enlightenment Salons. He is an Objectivist and believes that pursuing longevity escape velocity is perhaps the most rational goal one could ever have. For recreation, he likes listening to podcasts on moral philosophy to fine-tune his own personal views, and enjoys lifting weights while listening to audiobooks. Lastly, he is a big fan of the USTP’s efforts in showcasing the outrageous behavior of the FDA, which prevents people from seeking consensual treatments that are agreed upon with their health-care professionals.
Mr. Richardson can be contacted here.
Ben Ballweg – Director of Longevity Outreach
Ben Ballweg fears there is nothing after death, and thinks this fear can be channeled to doing what he can to avoid death. As aging is what he considers his biggest risk – at least until his age leads to a specific morbidity – he focuses on nudging humanity toward its solution.
Ben’s strengths include math, music, process perfection, writing, video, health science, customer care, and knocking on doors. Ben is not sharing his weaknesses here, but he has plenty of them. They’re so significant that Ben considers his chance of living forever negligible. But as long as he keeps trying, his fear stays crowded out.
Ben is thankful for everything and everyone that led to his life situation. He hopes to use that situation to help bring meaning to the universe, through having its living inhabitants be more than just a whole bunch of Etch-A-Sketches.
Ben can be contacted here, or on LinkedIn.

I’m guessing they will not get elected. However a good many of the policies seem to be pursued by the left already. I would if I could caution their worship of the god of technology and science. It will be utilized not for mass emancipation.
.
The problem we see coming is that the technological advances will not be amounting to any longevity except perhaps for a small tiny class of individuals. They are used for control, hunger, and deprivation.
A realist understands that most power corrupts, that the power of technology is no different. If it can be militarized or weaponized it will. Transhumanism is no different. What a pipe dream that it could be used for the benefit of humanity. Altruists do not end up in power. Fencing and control are the tools of the transhumanists.
None of the animal models survive the brain interface so it suggests rather than prolonging life, it would have the effect of shortening it. The graphene of nanotech has hostile to life properties. the massive measurement of humanity through EMF 5G and IOT is dangerous to cellular life. thus their platforms are the anathema of their desired result.
Instead the technologies, like all weapons will be used for master and control -for digital neo feudalism. Power is the reason for the perversion of any development in science. The more we development the more it is envisioned as useful for tyranny.
It is no wonder the tower of Babel fell. Will it fall gain?

Men out number women by >\= 2--1 in this group, great odds for the women, assuming they are naturally inclined; not so much so for the men, again, assuming normal proclivities.
