Discussion and Debate on Transhumanism - C.B. Robertson and Gennady Stolyarov II
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) Visit the YouTube channel of C.B.
