On Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party presents its conversation with Ariel VA Feinerman (recorded on May 10, 2025) on the problems standing in the way of regenerative medicine aimed at reversing human aging. Ariel outlined the damage-repair approach to achieving rejuvenation, based on the insights of Dr. Aubrey de Grey and his Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS). Furthermore, Ariel analyzed in detail why funding from governmental sources and private investors is still largely misdirected, while such funding sources largely ignore truly promising damage-repair research and therapies that are currently capable of being tested and deployed. Ariel also explained the regulatory obstacles to the arrival of rejuvenation treatments, particularly the lengthy and outdated review processes of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which are poorly suited to the emerging paradigm for regenerative therapies.
In the course of his presentation, Ariel VA Feinerman received and answered questions from the USTP panel, including Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II, Allen Crowley of the Texas Transhumanist Party, Art Ramon Garcia, Jr. (Director of Visual Art), and Jason Geringer (Legislative Director).
Ariel VA Feinerman is a research scientist, author, photographer, and longevity advocate who considers it his foremost goal "to improve human health and life, and achieve biological immortality in our lifetime." He describes himself as "interested in nanomedicine, bioengineering, biomedical engineering." He has educational and professional backgrounds in rejuvenation biotechnology, physics, programming, and entomology. In 2020, he co-founded the biotechnological company IntraClear Biologics OÜ, in Tallinn, Estonia, and became its Chief Science Officer.

This presentation discusses how human civilization has continued to move through the uniquely existentially risky period in human history, the Great Filter, and what would events need to happen in order to dramatically lower the level of existential risk faced by humanity as well as stave off a long-term decline of contemporary global civilization, similar to the decline faced by the Roman Empire in the aftermath of the Antonine Plague of 165-180 CE. 
VSIM-2024 Presentation: Overcoming Polarization Through Transhumanism - Presented on September 11, 2024
This presentation addresses the destructive consequences of the totalizing polarization that has increasingly afflicted Western, and especially American, societies. The toxic ideologies of Left and Right have seeped into almost every area of life and have turned everyday life into a perpetual conflict zone. However, the ideas of transhumanism and its up-wing, inclusive vision for the progress of all of humankind, offer an antidote to the polarization and an invitation to build the next era of civilization together.
The stream will be concluded by a Musical Q&A where the following compositions by Gennady Stolyarov II will be played:
- Tenacity, Op. 5 (Remastered by Jason Geringer)
- Composition for Harpsichord and Piano, Op. 50  (Remastered by Jason Geringer)
- Escalation, Op. 53  (Remastered by Jason Geringer)
- Progress Amidst a Crisis, Op. 66 (Remastered by Jason Geringer)
- Rondo #5, Op. 72  (Remastered by Jason Geringer)
- Waltz #8, Op. 71
