About this Episode
On Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s conversation with Brandon King, who is running as a candidate for the Minnesota State House – District 20A and seeking the Transhumanist Party’s endorsement in a future vote. This Salon offers the opportunity for USTP members and the general public to become acquainted with Mr. King and his campaign, based on making Space and Time available to all through proposals such as the Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act and the Minnesota Workweek Liberation Act.
The conversation between Brandon King and U.S. Transhumanist Party Officers – Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II, Art Ramon Garcia, Jr. (Director of Visual Art), Allen Crowley of the Texas Transhumanist Party, and Daniel Twedt (Director of Community and Citizen Science) was recorded on December 12, 2025, and delves into ideas such as Sovereign Homes – 3D-printed at low cost and offered to the public at reasonable monthly rates with the option to own them free and clear after 15 years; paying for a Universal Basic Income through a national program of asteroid mining; ways to find meaning and self-actualization in a society where employment becomes transformed through automation and working hours are reduced; the Enlightenment and its opposite, the Endarkenment; whether socialism and capitalism are meaningful terms in the 21st century and Brandon King’s concept of Enlightenment Socialism – based more on 18th-century and 19th-century conceptions of socialism rather than on 20th-century authoritarian models; and what he characterizes as a non-mystical view of the Singularity – including various scenarios of promise or peril, where human choices will determine which scenarios get realized.
